Check out this video on why it’s important to take risks and why not taking risks will kill you.

Outcome Vs. Interaction

Zombies want.... OUTCOME! Don't be a zombie.

I’ve recently been doing some globe trotting and have experienced both fantastic interaction based experiences and some not so fantastic outcome based experiences.

Let’s set up a quick definition: Focusing on the interaction means that you are living in the moment, not thinking about what will happen based on this interaction and that that possibilities are wide open.  Focusing on the outcome is the opposite, it creates a contrived situation where the focus is on one particular outcome, the parties involved know this and the possibilities are quite narrow.

How To Pick Up a Girl Online

We’ve previously covered the Do’s and Do not’s of profile photos. This applies from everything from Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace as well as any dating website.  As our world moves online more and more people are busy and turning to free dating websites like http://www.plentyoffish.com and pay for use sites like http://www.match.com . Whether you are paying for the service or not you want to make sure that when you do send a message that you get a response.

A Girls Guide– Sam Sharpe

About a month ago, I was spilling my single sorrows to my wonderfully straight platonic life partner, Logan, and for the first time he must have been sick of it because he looked at me and said plainly “Sam, you’re too fucking picky”. He was right. In the many months that I have been single, which almost add up to a year, I have been on exactly twenty-two first dates, only three of which leaded to a second date, and none became anything more than a bad memory.  Eventually, out of boredom and frustration, I started suggesting the same restaurant, at the same time, ordered the same dish, and got the same disapproving looks from the wait staff. I stopped caring because I knew not one of them would hold my interest for longer than a night. So what did they all do wrong? Read the rest of this entry »

How to pick up women – A Video

We stumbled across this video on the intersphere. Watching this guy with the hidden camera is great, he demonstrates confidence and inner comfort which the women respond to right away. Of course Doctor Phil demonizes this guy from the get go but he redeems himself in helping shy guys meet girls.

His secrets? Once again, confidence and comfort.

You can check your ego at the door though, you don’t need to be egotistical and self loving to be confident and comfortable, although it’s a tough tray to balance.

Worth a watch.

A Road Less Traveled – Highway Flirting

Take Your Game On the Road

Take Your Game On the Road

We sit in a bar completely engrossed in our conversation while everyone else is left to listen. We always seem to have competing stories when we get on “adventurous” topics and I’ll admit the score to date is still in her favour. The remainder of our friends often sit and drink in the ridiculous topic matter, or at least politely wait it out. Stephanie is an adventurous blond, a leader full of goals and ideals and yet is always open to having those challenged through intelligent banter. By all accounts she’s a catch: She knows how to flirt, she’s rarely reserved about any topics and she’ll put you in your place if she feels you’re out of line. Sometimes I wonder how it is that her and I met through this current network of friends – a politically charged group of young professionals who, though awesome in their own right, are far conservative on the social front than Steph and I. Steph is now off the market. In fact in three weeks I’m to play the music for her wedding service at a valley resort somewhere west of Halifax, Nova Scotia – and I couldn’t be happier for her.

“Oh, that’s called ‘Highway Flirting’”

Oh, it already has a title in Steph’s Book? Of Course. It was all I could think when Steph chimed in on my recount of a recent road trip adventure…
