Shut down Twice and Loving it.

You’ll love this!!! I got shut down by a women last night… not once but twice!!! And I loved it!!!

I just love it when a girl gives me lip and shuts me down. I normally go for the attack again… I don’t care about winning… its turns from the enjoyment of meeting new people (which if you know me… you know I talk to everyone near me. Just last night I met a nurse, chaplain, shark diver, and a student just in the same spot that this story was made), to having fun messing with her and her ego and letting her know that a guy isn’t scared of an independent women with an attitude or maybe I just like the feeling that she wasn’t able to walk all over me like she does to most guys. I gotta stand up for all the guys out there with fragile egos that have tried to make a move only to get crushed by this “self reliant women” and then because of that they hold off on meeting any new people for a while.

So a group of pretty girls were sitting at Panera Bread last night when I was there for a networking event. I selected my target of who I wanted to talk to. But I am sure that you know the rule, never talk to the target first. Talk to the “Leader of the Wolf Pack” or the girl that is not so pretty because as soon as their on your side…. You have the whole group to work with and then the woman that you want to talk with. Well I use one of my normal ice breakers (I don’t think I have ever used a pickup line, I think there stupid and I can’t ever think of them or figure out how they work. Well my favorite one is “Hi”) Since I coundt find anything to relate to at that moment and she seriously looked like a girl from High School I just asked her the question, “I know it’s been a few years but you went to Cocoa Beach High School didn’t you”. WPL (Would Pack Leader) “I didn’t go to high school” hmmm I was thinking…. That’s a new response. My initial reaction was without thinking. “That’s Awesome (which is my answer to everything), how did you do that. I wish I could have done that…” She is so giving me the look that she doesn’t want to talk to me, she was almost angry that I even opened my mouth to say hi!! Her friend chirps in “didn’t you go to Winter Park” Even more upset she turns the opposite direction from me to continue the conversation from earlier. SHUT DOWN #1.

As of now I have forgotten my initial target and I am into full play mode. J Mena is best at causing trouble.

So about 30 min later her and her party are getting up to leave and I notice they all have huge binders that say Single Women Discipleship. In my mind I see this as the perfect conversation starter. Something that she must be passionate about… People always love to talk candidly about their passions. So I get up and walk strait over to her, and go for round #2 of conversation with her. I start it off with “Wow a discipleship coarse, that’s impressive, what church do you go to? WPL gave me the name of the church and I mentioned back to her… “where is that at, I have never heard of them before? She rolled her eyes at this point and asked where I went in almost a tone that said “how dareth you talketh to me”. As the conversation goes on a little about church she turns it back around to me about what I was doing with some friends and why we were all on facebook. I mentioned that I was doing some business development and networking tonight with a few friends… out of no where she rolls her eyes again and ask… “are you those people that steal peoples facebook pictures and sell them to companies.” In my head I am thinking at this point. You’re a retard and if I was one of those people I probably woundt have the balls to walk to you and deal with your crap. I would be sitting in some basement like a dork. But without thinking I banter back at her, “I already found your picture used it for a few things.” This got her, she had a little bit of a deer in the headlights look it was great. But after a few quick words we parted ways. SHUT DOWN #2

I as I walked away I figured out the name of my book that I am putting together This is what you’re doing wrong… So stop B@$#ing about it!!! I have seen way to many women, defiantly ones that have done something with their lives or are heading towards a positive directions shoot down many times the opportunities that they complain to their friends that they are missing. Studying this is going to turn into a fun journey!!!
