It is common knowledge that pick-up's are a numbers game. The first girl says no, the second says yes. What is important in the game is bouncing back. A rejection can really hurt. The ego, depending on how fragile it is can become damaged.

The good news is that you can bounce back it may take minutes, hours...even days or months.

Even the best Pick up artist is not always on top of his game. Using his best field proven lines and tactics sometimes does not work for the master pick up artist. The difference between a regular pick up artist and the master is that the master always bounces back.

When a basketball player goes to take a shot he feels that it will go in (or at least he tries to get it in). Sometimes they miss. The great players shut out the misses and concentrate on scoring. How can you score when you doubt yourself and your abilities?

Injury is common in the game. You are going to get hurt. All pick up artists know this. Risk, pain and injury are part of the game. Can you imagine how many times Michael Jordan was knocked to the hardwood floor, or elbowed in the face? How many times has he in addition to missing the lay-up come down hard in the paint? He and other great players just get up and limp down to the other end of the court, waiting to get a chance to try again. The greats know that when they go on court that they might get hurt but they still play hard. The greats play to win.

I went to a club recently and the first 2 girls who I asked to dance said "No".
The third girl who I asked said, "Yes" and we danced together all night. What if I had stopped after the first 2 "no's" and gone home? I would have missed out on the "Yes".

Courage is an essential part of a DJ's arsenal. Without courage there is no approach. It's like seeing the hoop and being afraid to take the shot. In the pick up you either get a yes or a no. You have to have the courage to take the shot. If it is a no you have to have the courage to continue with the game.

Always go for the goal. If you miss, don't worry they'll always be another shot.

true, true, true about not giving up.

Example:
One weekend I met 3 or 5 girls one friday, another 8 on Saturday, 3 on sunday all @ this one club. SAturday I got digits from the first girl I talked to & then she went home. The 8th girl that night was one I asked to go home with me and she rejected me. I still went out the following day to meet girls.

Oh-and that first girl I got digits from? I've been on 3 dates w/ her so far. Going out again w/ her tomorrow.

What if I had given up after speaking to that first girl on Friday?

That's 14-16 girls I talked to that weekend. YOu gotta believe, buddy, you gotta believe.

Some nights I've knocked myself out & didn't get digits/nookie, other nights I have. Be prepared to act. Act because you are worth it and if you thought you were a chump is the only 'acceptable' excuse for not trying. ON second thought, scratch that. THERE ARE NO ACCEPTABLE EXCUSES FOR NOT BELIEVING IN YOURSELF. YOu made a mistake once in your life? You're not perfect?

So hell the what! Chicks aren't either. If chicks wanted perfect, they'd stick to romance novels & dildoes instead of guys. We err, we screw up, f*ck up. But we DAMNIT ARE WORTH IT.

AND SO ARE YOU.

Be on the move. I'm practicing spreading my mack down whenever possible.

Tonight even, I made eye contact & started chatting up this italian-looking chick @ the train station.

So yeah-a fruitful life of experience is made up of attempts to attain pleasure. Not all your attempts will succeed, but you damn sure stand a better chance than that mopey mofo in the corner making excuses for himself....

peace out, you dons, & never give up on you!!!!

Thanks a lot. I was feeling down about my game b/c of a party the other night. But you just booted me again. I'm up and wanting to go out again. I think i'll go out tonight.
Thanks again paradox, you give good advice.
