Practice Makes Perfect
Maybe, maybe not. If you’ve ever watched kids interact with each other, it’s pretty amazing.
Generally, the younger they are, the more fearless they are. They don’t stop and think about what they are going to say based on what they think might happen. They don’t hesitate in talking to somebody based on how they think they might respond.
They see all people as regular people. They haven’t learned to categorize anybody according to race or gender.
Then, as we grow up, we start to categorize people. We have to. The more we have to start becoming responsible for our lives, the less free stuff and support we get from our parents and other adults, we don’t really have the luxury to throw caution to the wind. We have to sort of pick and choose.
Now, this may not sound very politically correct, but if we didn’t do this, we’d be conned right and left.
However, often times we make huge errors in judgment. Whenever we discriminate based on race or gender.
Now, before you think I’m going to go off on a PC-preachy tangent, hold your horses.
Consider how we perceive females, before and after we start to “judge” people.
When we are kids, they are kids, just like us, and we treat the like such.
But then we go through puberty, and they suddenly have amazing power. They can provide us with incredible pleasure, or horrible rejection. All in the way they look at us and talk to us.
If you’ve got any married guy friends that are pretty happy in their relationship, watch how THEY interact with women.
Usually, they’re much more laid back than single guys.
Why is that?
Because, for the most part, females have become normal females again. Unless of course, they run across some incredibly hot super model who’s TRYING to create sexual energy everywhere she goes.
The secret to talking to women is to simply see them as people, instead of those amazing creatures with such amazing power.
How do you do that? Well, you could go out and get married, but that would kind of defeat the purpose!
The easiest way to see females as ordinary people, (which they are, BTW) is to simply talk to as many as you can WITHOUT having any kind of hope or expectation that anything will happen OTHER than a polite conversation.
The more you do this, the easier it will get.
Once you get to a certain level of comfort, that’s when the fun begins.
