		<description>Unfortunately, target selection is another major FAILURE that dudes fall prey to every day.  I need to write about that now that you mention it.

There are the girls that you WANT and the girls that YOU CAN GET.  Hopefully, there&#039;s an overlap so that you can actually GET some of the girls you WANT.  Too many guys bash their heads against the walls of girls they can&#039;t get because they&#039;re blinded by the fact that they WANT them.

There are girls that won&#039;t kick it to me because I&#039;m not tall enough or I don&#039;t dress the way they like or I&#039;m not rich enough or I don&#039;t own a car or they think they know something about me from reading what I post on the internet or a million other reasons.  I couldn&#039;t possibly care any less. :D  Makes no difference whatsoever, because there are lots of OTHER chicks who like me as-is.

There&#039;s this chick that I see every once in a while that I would invite out for drinks, except every time I see her, she looks at me like I&#039;m about to attack her hahaha :D .. COULD I get around that?  Of course.  Is it worth the time and effort?  Probably not, because she doesn&#039;t know anything about me to be looking at me like that so she&#039;s probably operating off of BAGGAGE that she&#039;s accumulated over the years that I don&#039;t want to have anything to do with.

If a chick can&#039;t be pleasant when you tell her &quot;good morning&quot;, she&#039;s probably not worth a damn anyway.

One of the best things guys can do for themselves is be realistic about the kinds of girls they can pull so they don&#039;t waste time on the chicks that are &quot;out of their league&quot; and maximize their time &#039;doing the business&#039;.</description>

		<description>LMAO!
This is truly funny stuff and the comments are great! You could&#039;ve titled it, When Bricks Try To Fly.  C&#039;mon man, you know how I like the tactical!
Yes, yes, yes, assess the situation.  Even forgetting about how he was trying to play you off as a beta male (Bill C., puh-leaze!), the dude plops himself down next to a chick and her invisible man, jumps right in the game like a damn gun went off, and has no clue from the get go whether she has any interest in him at all but thinks he can &quot;build interest&quot;?  You&#039;re right, he needed some kind of carrot or better still some skill at getting people to laugh, including you. And some patience!  Suit and a Patek-Philipe?  That&#039;s it?  Sounds like some after work Financial District or Midtown dime-a-dozen banker crap that probably doesn&#039;t even play well there because all the chick already know he&#039;s a jerk.  Frank&#039;s right, dude doesn&#039;t know he&#039;s a minor leaguer.  Maybe he should focus on German tourists.</description>

		<description>HAHAHAHAHA Oh man!  That would have been CLASSIC!!! :D HAHAHAHA

Yeah, you have really good points there, Frank.  I can clearly see his style working on a certain type of female, except he was talking to a *different* type of female.  She already makes her own money.  She already has her own apartment.  She already has guys kickin&#039; it to her.  She&#039;s already seen his &#039;kind&#039; so many times that he was clearly a diluted version of the real thing.  As a matter of fact, when he first started talking to us, he announced he was in X profession.  After about 10 minutes, he took a call or ordered something from the bartender and she turns to me and says &quot;He said he&#039;s an X, but I really think he&#039;s a Y&quot;.  Of course, it turned out that he WAS a Y.  Unfortunately, he was talking to a chick that saw him coming.

I&#039;ve been lucky to gain experience with a wide range of females.  I can hang with rich chicks, bum chicks, burger-flipping chicks, dumb chicks, intelligent chicks, overweight chicks, emaciated chicks, religious chicks... I really can&#039;t think of a category that I&#039;m not comfortable with.  That definitely makes me project that comfort onto other guys and think that they just played the wrong style when they may very well only have ONE style to work with.

Unfortunately, he&#039;ll never get better.  Guys like that keep it up with their one style until they catch something... not meaning a disease, meaning a chick.  They feel like their style is viable and it&#039;s just an issue of pot luck whether the chick goes for it or not.  Meanwhile, they could have played things completely differently and received different results.

Here&#039;s what he SHOULD have done... My girl is planning to buy something soon as far as real estate.  There&#039;s no way he would have known this, but he should have asked her enough about herself to figure this out.  He should have then told her that he was TIGHT with brokers that often have really good listings.  *THIS* would have gotten her to call him for her own selfish interests of buying an apartment/house.  He could have dangled that carrot in front of her face and parlayed that into a dinner meetup or two and seen where he could have gone from there.  There was no way he was going to get the rap off of his looks and personality, so he should have figured out something she wanted and Acted As If he could hook her up with that.

He also should have figured out who I was to her.  Once he knew I had no interest in shutting his game down, he could have acted friendly towards me instead of being standoffish and dismissive... but yeah, I see what you mean.  I&#039;m sure he didn&#039;t sit down at the bar thinking tactically.  I&#039;m sure he was like &quot;What luck!  I&#039;m sitting next to a cute chick.  Let me see what I can do&quot;.

I need to make &quot;Dating Coach&quot; cards and hand them out to these chumps that I see fumbling raps left and right. :D</description>

		<description>You know what... This skill level of his may very well be his (for now) best available. Sometimes you have to jump up in weight class to truly put a rating on your game. You get a hood rat chasing type of guy and throw him an after &quot;work&quot; type environment and he will probably strike out. Get a guy who is used to chasing a particular type (Admin assist to the CEO as opposed to a general secy)and he may not know ho to take it down a notch. His immediate comfort zone is his minor leagues. Until he branches out into other territory he will never fully understand what bringing his A-game to the majors is all about. This guy you described, sounds like the big man on campus. The star athlete. Well schools out and he is just one of the many skilled individuals out there. He stepped up in weight. Will he learn or will he retreat to his comfort zone?? Who knows BUT you should have have taken his card, written &quot;billcammack.com/datinggenius&quot; on the back and said &quot;just in case you are looking for an agent&quot; and zoned him out of the convo!! :)</description>

		<description>Absolutely.  He put himself at a major disadvantage by not assessing the situation or at least TRYING to get some information about what was going on before he arrived.

For instance.. What if I had been a coworker of hers and he would have rolled in and kicked game to her?.. She wouldn&#039;t have been able to accept his rap without looking like a ho or at least being gossiped about as such back at our office... ESPECIALLY if she had been my superior at work.

What if I had been a guy that just met her and took offense to him interrupting me?  What if I had been a friend of her current boyfriend and she didn&#039;t want to get busted and he gave her his card all out in the open like that?  He had no idea what he should have been doing because he had no idea what was going on at all. :)

As far as competition, damn skippy that&#039;s fun! :D  That&#039;s a different story, though.  Until you actually get the rap, all bets are off.  I learned that the hard way after putting in minutes and minutes worth of raps to a chick, only to have some dude she liked show up and then I&#039;m over before I even got started! :D

Actually, not only is it FUN, but it&#039;s FUNNY! :D  Your boy shows up and you&#039;re like look. at. this. bastard. trying. to. cut. throat! :D and then you have to amp your game up, isolate her, get rid of him or shut his game down by making sure she hears you telling him something like &quot;Oh.. Yo.. Your wife texted me and wanted me to tell you to stop at the store for bread on the way home!&quot; &gt;:)</description>
