[X&Y] Do You Even KNOW These People? (This Is Just Weird)

WHAT'S INSIDE: Are your decisions influenced by the "cumulative
opinions of strangers"?
=====
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
Guess what? We're a quarter of the way through 2015 already.
Time flies, doesn't it?
Remember when it was January 1st, and you were thinking about that
"New Year's Resolution" to find a great woman this year?
Well, how's that going?
If you think you're just a bit behind the curve on that, rest
assured you're not alone.
I mean, hey...we get busy and our focus tends to turn to other things
that are also pretty important.
But listen, man. Meeting the right woman really is mission
critical.
And I'll tell you what. As of tomorrow we're into April, which
means that Spring is getting into full swing.
That can only mean one thing: Women are REALLY getting "frisky"
out there.
They're breaking out the sundresses and getting into that fun,
playful mood that comes with warmer weather.
And don't kid yourself...if they DON'T have a great man like you in
their life, they want that to happen by the time summertime hits.
So you've got to get crackin', my good man:

Like I said, we're in 2015 here so what are all these women doing
to make SURE they find a great guy fast?
They're going ONLINE, that's what.
Why? Because it WORKS.
If you're still living in 1993 thinking only women who can't get a
date are online, all I can tell you is to take a freakin' look for
yourself.
Get ready to pick your jaw up off the floor when you run your first
search on Match.com or OKCupid. Seriously.
Do I even have to mention Tinder?
And know this: It WILL be the few and the proud among guys who'll
know the ropes and who will be scoring the dates with all of those
hotties.
Yes...they'll be choosing which ones they want. That's whether
you're still sitting at home on the couch wondering where to meet
women or not.
Meanwhile, my life mission is to make sure that YOU are one of
those guys who's "living the dream". To really, truly do that,
you'll need my complete plan of action:

how to get women to write YOU first.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE?
Considering how large a role the Internet takes in my life, I do
what I can to pay attention to upcoming trends and how they may
affect the online world.
So when I was flipping channels a while back I happened across
an interview with Chris Cox, Facebook's Vice-President of Product
Development. I made it a point to tune in for a few moments.
Commenting on Facebook's ever-increasing power in today's society,
he said something that really caught my attention:
"Our decisions are now influenced by the cumulative opinions of
strangers."
He was speaking, of course, on how social media (and Facebook in
particular) have enabled a significant crowd of people to regularly
share their outlook on things with each other--often in very
persuasive fashion.
This is all most certainly with our full permission, of course.
All we have to do is either "friend" them, or accept their friend
request.
We then click the "home" tab and are inundated with what our
"friends" think about virtually anything and everything.
That can't help but influence how we think about all sorts of
things.
But that's just the start.
The really crazy part is that people tend to get REALLY personal on
Facebook, don't they?
I mean, for every person nowadays who's still afraid to give out
his or her credit card number to Amazon or Ebay, there are probably
six dozen who'll freely disclose their health issues, legal
battles, personal rivalries, highly-polarized political leanings,
social problems and yes--even their relationship concerns--to
literally everyone on their "friend" list...all at the same time.
And at this point I don't think we can kid ourselves any longer.
Garnering social proof on Facebook means padding your list of
"friends" as much as you can.
Therefore, you see, most of our "friends" aren't really "friends"
at all. Many aren't even acquaintances.
Some of those people, if not the majority, are indeed total
strangers.
As such, a whole lot of people are most certainly "crowdsourcing"
solutions to shockingly important personal matters--to people they
know nothing about in return.
This phenomenon isn't something you might just notice on rare
occasions.
If your Facebook experience is anything like mine, the amount of
personal information we see splattered onto the "wall" every day is
utterly staggering.
Tell me if you've seen this before...
A girl is mad at her boyfriend, and spews vitriol about it on her
Facebook account.
About six or eight people comment on her post, and based on the
limited amount of information given, share their opinions.
The first one says, "Well hey...don't overreact. Give yourself some
time to reflect before you do anything."
But the next one types, "Forget that noise! Dump the loser and
send him a message he'll never forget!"
The next four apparently think that sounds good, and thereby jump
on the second responder's bandwagon. After all, it's way more fun
and easy to pile on in situations like that, isn't it?
Soon, the original poster comes back with, "Thank you soooo much,
everyone, for your advice. I did what y'all said and kicked him to
the curb!"
So what's wrong with this picture?
If you answered, "Why is any of what's going on with her and her
boyfriend everyone else's business to begin with?" you're
definitely on the right track.
But see, what's REALLY messed up is that I can all but assure you
that nearly everyone who commented in that string barely knows the
girl, if they know her at all.
How do I know that? Well, that's simple.
Had she wanted REAL input from people she knew actually CARED
about her, she'd have consulted a few who she was more familiar
with--especially those who she knows have her back.
You know...friends, family, even trusted experts.
And she'd have gotten the input she needed privately.
But as it stands, she shared her situation on Facebook and now she
has been "influenced by the cumulative opinions of strangers".
In a way, it's not like she really even ASKED for help, per se.
She was simply venting.
That's really, really wild if you ask me.
But yes, like it or not, that's how people roll nowadays. Total
strangers are influencing people's opinions--and ultimately, their
actions--often with fully-implied consent.
By now you may be wondering why I would be sharing all this with
you.
After all, I'm clearly not in favor of being "influenced by the
cumulative opinions of strangers" as a solid strategy for making
life-affecting decisions.
And yet, yes...here I am talking to you through the Internet.
Chances are I've probably never actually had the chance to shake
your hand in real life and have a brewski or two with you.
But you see, that doesn't mean I'm a "stranger". I'll always tell
it like it is and speak only that which is in your (and every
man's) best interest.
Even though there are now over fifty-four thousand of you reading
this message, I've been working for seven years not to be a "stranger"
to you guys who read this newsletter, listen to the podcasts and/or
dive into my programs.
And I don't think of you as a stranger either.
I'm immersed in the art and science of attracting women and
building relationships with them, and indeed most of what I write
and talk about comes directly from my interactions with you.
A lot of these newsletters will start with mention of how I get
calls and e-mails about a certain subject. Others feature one of
those messages in particular.
So in a very, very real way when you read these words you're
participating in an ongoing conversation between those of us who
share the common goal of getting better with women.
That means you're IN on this.
Obviously, if you put me to work for you on a 1-on-1 basis, that's
true.
Yes, many of the guys I've coached some time ago have become dear
friends and even contributors of content around here.
And if you're in the Power Sessions inner circle, I probably
interact with you over e-mail all the time.
If you comment on the blog, I'll probably comment in return.
If you've ever jumped off of the fence and gotten one of my programs
like The Master Plan, The Leading Man or Female Persuasion you may
have noticed that I'll answer questions you may have after you get
through the program.
But hey, man...even if you're just here for the newsletters and the
podcasts you're still a HUGE part of what's going on here at X & Y
Communications.
If you're a long-time reader, my guess is that you feel as if you
know me by now.
If you're new around here, don't be a stranger.
Meanwhile, I'll keep on doing my part to have your best interests
at heart when it comes to success with women, even as I share every
shred of what I know about how to have a woman's best interests at
heart as well.
There's no need to resort to asking "strangers".
Be Good,
Scot McKay
