APPROACHING WOMEN
March 25, 2006 - "Approaching Women: A Great Example"
***QUESTION***
"Hello suaveguru,
I just wanted to start off by saying you have very valid
points with women. I have worked at bars and restaurants
where women come in looking to hook up with men. And the
cocky-funny attitude works wonders. I'm 22 going on 23
and I have had no problem ever getting women to give me
their number. But there is one problem I do have. That is
timing "the call". When should I call? Plus I used your
"Are you single" approach with this very attractive girl.
She gave me 5 mins of her time and I found out some cool
things about her. She was very hesitant on giving me her
number, but after I sat down to talk to her, she gave me
her number. Well, I called her two days after she gave
me her number and she was on the other line. So she told
me to call her back in 15 mins. I waited 30 and she never
answered the phone. so I left a message. Should I rip up
her number and never call her again? Or should I call her
in a week? Your advise would be greatly appreciated. Plus
why would she give me her number if she planned on not
talking to me in the first place?
Thanks."
>MY COMMENTS: I personally think that this is one of the
funniest questions in the book. I mean, haven't you watched
"Swingers"? lol...
My rule of thumb is to wait at least one day, but not more
than a few. The real key is how OFTEN you call her, and,
more importantly, what you SAY when you call.
But let's talk about the psychology of why women give out
their phone numbers, and why I personally like to get email
addresses.
You must remember that attractive women are being approached
all the time by men, in one way or another.
They have an unlimited supply of guys to choose from.
I think that a lot of women who give out their numbers, then
respond by being flaky when you call are doing something
that many of us guys wouldn't have thought of in a million
years:
I think they're making themselves feel good.
Explained differently, I think that many women give out
their numbers are looking for the self-image-boosting
hit of power that comes from having a lot of men calling
them... men that THEY have the power to ACCEPT OR REJECT.
They can also use it to get attention from friends:
"All these guys just keep calling me! Why don't they just
leave me alone! Don't the get the hint!?"
Now, don't get me wrong. I know that this sounds a little
bit negative... and I don't mean to say that ALL women
do this, or that ALL women are bad, etc.
To me, it's just part of the real world that you need to
learn to accept and deal with.
Which leads me to why I get email addresses...
Keep in mind, I've tried a lot of different things when
it comes to curing this problem of hot-and-cold women
who act one way when you meet them, then totally
different when you call.
And what I've found is that if you get EMAILS instead,
you not only differentiate yourself, but you also
increase your chances of hearing back from her about
100%. No lie.
For some reason, email has a power that a call does not.
get as well.
Try it. You'll like it.
