We are presented with dozens of openings to
meet women every single day.

Be it at the grocery store, coffee house, internet,
night spot - whatever.  The fact is, as we move
through our daily lives, one openings after
another comes our way.

Yet, how many of these openings do YOU take
advantage of?

I'm willing to venture its not that many.

But if you took the time to just seize ONE of these
openings a day, that means over the course of
just one year, you'd meet 365 women.

Out of 365 women, don't you think that at least
ONE of them would be worth keeping around?

So what's keeping us from doing so?  Why do
we allow such openings with women pass
us by?

Some guys would say that its "fear of rejection"
that's keeping us at bay, but I don't agree
with that.

We get rejected all the time.  If we were really
afraid of rejection, we wouldn't be able to
function in every-day life.

I think what really happens is that we always
tend to PUNISH ourselves when an interaction
with a woman doesn't go the way we want it
to.

Think about it...

How many times have you smack yourself down over
saying the wrong thing, or saying nothing at
all?

How many times have you made yourself feel bad
about "blowing your opening" with a girl?

How many times have you called yourself "an idiot"
or a "loser" when things didn't go your way?

Understand - we are always TOO HARD on ourselves
when it comes to initiating a new romance.

We lay HUGE guilt trips on ourselves, and smack
ourselves down mercilessly, just because our
attempt at meeting a new woman we found attractive
failed.

In the "real world," its no big deal.  The girl
moves on with her life, and you move on with yours.

But in your mind, that self-punishment for failure
can last days, weeks, and in some cases even MONTHS.

We make ourselves feel SO BAD, that our brain wants
to avoid such punishment in the future by KEEPING
us from approach women!

This is where the dreaded APPROACH FEAR comes
from.

Feeling nervous about approaching women is a self
preservation mechanism to keep us from experiencing
the agony we inflict on ourselves when something
doesn't go the way we want it to.

And it all stems from the BEATING we give ourselves.

If you want to meet tons of beautiful, smart, fun,
and amazing women, you must learn to congratulate
yourself for trying, rather than beating yourself
up for failing.

You have to understand that if a woman doesn't
go for what you have to offer, it's not a reflection
of your self worth.  Its simply a learning process.

The more you do it, the better you get at it!

And the less you smack yourself down over the
interactions that don't go well, the easier
it is to do.

I know this, because this was a big problem I
had to face myself.

When I overcame the "self punishment" phase, meeting
women suddenly became much easier!

In my book, the Art Of Approaching, I teach a
variety of methods to help you overcome this
detrimental habit.

No where else will you find such real-world
experience and practical advice about meeting
women.
