It does not come across here on the board but a part of the success I have with the ladies I meet comes from a willingness to listen as well as an ability to get a lady to open up and talk a bit..... I think a few of you are missing opportunities by being unwilling to try to do the same....
One Lady in the club the other night was talking to me about a friend of mine.....She expressed certain ideas about why they were not hanging out that I later conveyed to him.... His ideas were a bit different.....
Bottom line was they didn't talk..... They had just quit seeing each other....... After I got in the middle and ran my mouth a bit on both sides I wasn't surprised later that night to find them cuddled up together.....
I get feedback from guys and gals as well after every luncheon .............
Guys complain that they did not get to meet a certain lady yet they don't get up off their ass and go say Hello...... Ladies feel at times they shouldn't approach the group..... I get this from Dancers after the parties all the time..... "Oh... You guys are such a large group and were having such a good time it didn't seem like you wanted to be bothered"....
I often tell the ladies that many of the guys are a bit on the shy side and they need to approach them in a more direct manner..... One Lady that was not present at this luncheon is fantastic about grabbing the quiet ones by the hand and leading them off to the VIP room, returning 10-15 minutes later to grab another one and by the end of the day almost EVERYONE knows who she is..... Unfortunately.... Many are not that way.....
I was told the following earlier today by one of the girls that joined us for lunch.............
She stated that she had talked with a lot of the guys while trying to keep the flirting to a minimum. She felt it would be unprofessional to show more than a passing interest in a guy in that environment..... either to "obtain business" or otherwise....
She mentioned there were guys at the luncheon that she would have seen for fun.....had they asked....... then went on to say those guys are still oblivious to that fact and always will be.......
She thinks many of us are cynical enough to take any suggestion of interest as a ploy to simply gain "customers" and would not want the fall out from that....
I would say that I probably fall into that last category myself.....
Not long ago I had a lady tell me she wants to see another buddy for free..... She likes hanging out with him and wants to see him in a nonprofessional manner...... He seems to prefer keeping it on a business level...... But he didn't know she had that interest.....
A Waitress likes hanging out with another guy I know but he gets overly obsessive and can't seem to deal with just being friends and letting her have other friends as well.... So
Anyway.... Some of you might want to do a little "emotional inventory" and think about some of your interactions with the ladies recently..... because you may have missed an opportunity.....
Ladies..... Some of you need to realize that if the guys that come to the Socials and Luncheons were able to better approach women and express an interest in you.... well.. you would probably be out of business because they wouldn't have to hobby as much.....
I often refer to first school dances you attend in Jr High school..... All the little boys on one side of the room.... all the little girls on the other....... It's sad at times but some of us still don't want to walk across that floor and ask someone to dance!
Even I am still shy, timid and withdrawn in many settings...........
But come on people..... At a Strip Club or Social? There is simply no excuse for not getting off your ass and going over and meeting someone that strikes your fancy!
