Here are some ideas if you're all about dating and relating
during the pandemic.

DON'T JUST SIT AT HOME, DO SOMETHING


Today we're finally addressing the elephant in the room (aka
coronavirus).  Obviously, most of us are being exhorted to
"limit our social interactions", if not just stay the hell home.

I hope and trust that isn't your usual M.O.

So, have you stopped to consider how having your routine
involuntarily rocked might not be such a bad thing?

Don't squander it binging Netflix. 

Dust off the guitar.  Crack those Jeppesen manuals you
bought and finally commit to taking flight lessons.

Or..seize the opportunity to finally do what it takes to
be brilliantly attractive to and effective with women.

This week I've been talking about the upcoming
Un-Settled program.  Shaking your life up and never
settling for less than what you were born to do is a
timely theme, and lots of you guys have been all over
it so far:

But maybe you're finally ready to do that 1-on-1 coaching
program with me you've been thinking about for months.

After all, now you have the time and the space to make
it happen.

If so, let's talk.  You can now schedule a 25-minute intro
call for free in real-time.  You'll be able to choose a date
and a time on the fly:

Whatever you do during this unique moment in history,
make it something POSITIVE and PRODUCTIVE.

If getting better with women is at the top of your priority
list right now, let's make THIS the time you can look back
on as the game changer.

CORONAVIRUS DATING TIPS


There were two ways to look at the idea of writing this newsletter.

First, everybody and their freaking mother is talking nonstop about
COVID-19, so it feels like I'm succumbing to herd mentality by
following suit.

But then again, if I don't write anything on the subject, I'll be the last
one on Earth not to, and run the risk of seeming as if I have my head
in the sand.

So here we are.  And what follows is what needs to be said.

A few days ago, I sent you some kickass Spring Break tips.  That
was great, assuming there was going to be the annual Daytona,
South Padre, Lake Have-A-Screw Spring Break fest as we know it.

But having done a Google search and talked to a few Ten-Plus guys
who happen to be in college, this year is going to be different.

Not only are plans changing (e.g. skiing, just chillin'), the hiatus may
last longer than the traditional nine days.

For sure, nobody has warm fuzzies about getting on an airplane
about now, let alone road-tripping through 1000 miles of public
restrooms.

For our part, about five weeks ago I was in planning mode for a
St. Patrick's Day departure to Japan and South Korea for a few
weeks.

Yeah, well...that plan was obviously thwarted.  Instead, we geared
up for a road trip out west punctuated by a World Championship
BMX racing qualifier in Albuquerque.

The governor of New Mexico outlawed that event on Thursday.

So as it turns out, like most of the rest of us...we ain't going
nowhere.

Meanwhile, I've been hitting the neighborhood supermarket when
it opens at 6:00am because a bunch of knuckleheads have been
buying eight gallons of milk and six dozen eggs each. 

All of this brings us to your dating life. 

Here it is:  You've been disrupted.  And unlike the premise of
the upcoming Un-Settled program, it's NOT in the best way
possible.

All of us are in it together.  And based on a combination of
due diligence and mitigation of mass hysteria, the mandate
is on for us all to cool our jets for a while.

My humble opinion is it's NOT going to be forever.  It's going
to be a few weeks, not a year and a half.  Hell, stores are
already opening back up in China.

Now, if you live in say, New Rochelle, NY or, well...Italy, the
question of whether or not to go out with women right now is
moot.  You can flirt with some women online, but real-world
first meetings are shelved.

But what about those of us who live in places where there
are maybe one or two cases in the entire metro area?

The practical truth is there are two kinds of people out
there.

Some of us are deeply subject to the fear-mongering and
are therefore panic stricken.

Others of us are flabbergasted by the perception of mass
overreaction.

I'm not here to cast aspersions on either personality type.

If you're the former, this could have been a one-word
newsletter: "Don't."

But let's say you're of the ilk who doesn't really feel the
need to sequester themselves.

To you, I say interact with women as if it's business as
usual, with TWO important caveats.

First, if you're a "kino escalation" proponent, the prevailing
zero-contact recommendation presents an excellent
opportunity to try my long-standing strategy of keeping
our grubby paws off of women until they're practically
begging us for it.

Second, be an agent for LIGHT and PLAYFUL fun in the
midst of a prevailing undercurrent of tension, if not outright
hysteria.

Follow those two steps and you'll be amazing to new women
you meet when out hunting for toilet paper before morning
rush hour.

If you're online, you have a bonanza of opportunity simply
opening conversations with new women about where they
stand relative to the coronavirus zeitgeist.

I mean, it's a no-brainer.

Are they 100% virtual, or not letting the hysteria keep them
from going out and being social?  If you think about it, that's
the very first thing both of you need to know.

You'll also find out a WHOLE LOT about a woman's basic
personality type by asking.  Mark that.

In keeping with the light, playful vibe, I'd personally go full-
bore into blatant accusations that her cooties are likely far
more virulent than anything China could have thrown at
us.

Better yet, inform her that YOURS are.  Ha!

Now, when it comes to actually going OUT with them, here's
a solid plan.  Do your research about what exactly is open
and when.  That's the first step right now.

Stay away from big venues and instead opt for somewhere
with relatively few people around. 

That said, don't expect to go to her place just yet, and don't
bring her to yours.  Hold that in reserve until you sense you're
sure you would like to get to know each other.

Home really is a sacred place about now, and that's wise.

But above and beyond tactics, here is THE absolute most
paramount idea to keep in mind...

Taking the lead in being an agent for safety and security is
sexy as hell to women.  Panic isn't.  Although what's going
on sucks, the silver lining is you have a golden opportunity
to boldly and objectively define the kind of man you are.


Be Good,

Scot McKay
