IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD


Yesterday I announced my "End Of The World Sale", featuring
the killer combo of a 50% off coupon for my ever-popular
program The Man's Approach with the unprecedented addition of
a free copy of Chick Whispering to go along with it:

Well, obviously it's already the 22nd down under...and we're
all still here.

So to all my Mayan brethren out there and to anyone else who
may feel let down by all the hype I say, "Relax...it's not
the end of the world."

But enough about that.  Feeling as if my energy level has
somehow been "renewed", I decided to extend the sale and rename
it the "It's Not The End Of The World Sale".

What the heck, right?

After all, if you're having a brutal time out there meeting women
and getting their numbers (let alone understanding them) it may
FEEL like the end of the world sometimes.

But when you're equipped with the step-by-step action plan I
give you in The Man's Approach your fortunes with women are
sure to do a "180".

That means, "turn around and go in the other (i.e. correct)
direction" for those of you who failed Geometry in high school.

To say this will make your life suddenly A LOT more fun is an
understatement.  And if you get your hands on The Man's Approach
by midnight tomorrow night, it'll be for less than the cost of
just ONE bad date:

Just use the coupon code 122112 to grab a copy for 50% off
AND I'll send you Chick Whispering for free to go along with
it:

Speaking of meeting women, here's a classic from me that was
originally written about six years ago. 

With the weekend finally here, I figured you could use this.
Every bit of it is as practical and effective now as it has
always been.  Enjoy...

HOW TO MEET WOMEN AT THE SUPERMARKET



  "You know, it's dangerous for you to be here in the frozen food
  section.  You could melt all this stuff."
 
  --Steve Martin in "My Blue Heaven"



Funny thing about today's topic.  The concept is one of the oldest,
most overwrought stereotypes in the dating world.  Yet, how many
people (other than Vinnie) do you know who actually have met
someone at the grocery store? 

Have you?

Would you like to?

As promised, today we're going to talk all about how to turn the
local grocery store into your dating playground...or at least
potentially.

And it's easier than you think.
 
No, this isn't necessarily about "bumping carts" with someone "by
accident".  Rest assured there are much better strategies in store
than that (pun intended).  So, then, let's get on with it:



1)  Inline Flirting


This is the simplest concept, yet completely overlooked by so many.

Basically, if you want to meet someone, form your checkout plan
with some "strategery", will you?  Simply get in line behind someone
you want to meet, pick up the tabloid in front of you and make
conversation about it. 

For some odd reason, this is like magic when performed by a guy. 

Women seem to be entranced by that sort of thing, and to have a guy
actually start a conversation about it really is irresistible to
them. 

And don't completely rule out flirting with the one who is behind
the register, either. 

One of life's joys for me is when a woman at a cash register asks
me for my credit card or (God help her) my phone number. 

Whichever it is, it's "way too soon in the relationship for that"
or "I don't know you well enough".   Believe it or not, my fiancée
Emily still deals with this sort of banter out of me regularly...and
still giggles when it happens.

[Ed. Note:  And yes, she still does nowadays.  Some things never
change.]



2)  Have You Tried This?


Step One:  Position yourself considering the same shelf full of
items as someone you want to meet. 

Step Two:  Find a particularly interesting product. 

Step Three:  Ask, "Have you tried this?"

Step Four:  Expect a one-word answer. 

Step Five:  Respond by briefly describing some creative use you
might have for it. 

Step Six:  Continue conversation with intrigued new friend. 

Step Seven:  Etc...



3)  Veggie Tales


This is really a variation on the second bullet point above, but I
want to make sure everyone understands how virtually foolproof it
is to start a conversation. 

Hit the produce section.  Find a woman you want to meet. 

Ask either:  1)  "What's the best way to pick one of these?" or
2) "Do you have any secrets for cooking these?" 

People in general love being asked for expert advice.  Men love
it because, well, we're men, and women will find it endearing that a
guy is interested in cooking.  Don't act helpless here guys, just
interested.



4)  Bean Stalk


This one is my personal favorite, and the true "secret" to be
harvested from this article. 

At a grocery store you have a perfect scenario for meeting someone
that is built in by design. 

Everyone goes up one aisle and down the other when they are there
on serious business.

If you notice someone you would like to meet is doing a week's
worth of shopping like you are, simply (and this is about as simple
as it gets) start at the opposite end of the aisle as she is, but
work the aisles in the same order. 

In doing so, you will pass this wpman every single time you go to
the next aisle.  Hopefully you get what I'm talking about here
without me having to draw a diagram, because I'm lousy at that. 

Maybe you'll completely ignore her on the first aisle. 

On the second aisle, possibly some eye contact and a smile. 

On the third aisle (exactly), stop and say, "Look, I barely know
you and you are already stalking me."  

Another perfectly good option is to ask, "So are you going to
follow me around all day or are you going to introduce yourself?" 

Be sure to laugh (or at least smile) after you say this so as to
make it perfectly clear you are kidding.

Either way, playing upon the fact that she is already interested
in you is almost always effective.  From there, make a friend.


  
5)  Timing


I would plan my supermarket ventures in the early evening (after
work) or on a Saturday in the mid-morning to early afternoon time
frame. 

Consider the demographics involved and it's easy to understand
how the ratio of single people to not-so-single people will be
better then. 

This isn't to say that it's impossible to meet women during the
day on Tuesday, but the odds aren't quite as good. 

If you are a "night person", try shopping at 2 am if you have a
24-hour supermarket.  You might meet your soulmate.  She's
probably stocking shelves.



Here's a quick note regarding what not to do. 

Ever notice that you don't seem to get the choice of "paper or
plastic" anymore?  Just because all the bags are "plastic"
doesn't mean YOU have to be.

One of the major scenarios to avoid is trying to be too, um..."overly
helpful". 

Guys please don't chase women around the parking lot offering to
"load their groceries" or even to return their cart for them. 

You might as well pour the milk you just bought onto some
toast and contemplate how that relates to this situation.

That said, starting conversation at the supermarket really is
incredibly easy.  Once you try it, you'll wonder what took you so
long. 

All too often we limit ourselves by thinking that bars, clubs and
other "designated" places are the only "appropriate" venues for
meeting someone. 

The truth is you are more likely to meet a high quality human
being and have a great conversation with her when you both are
in your "natural habitat" and free of loud noises and obnoxious
distractions (e.g. a hundred other people trying to "pick up"
someone).

An informal poll I've taken suggests that most single women would
truly enjoy being approached with interest at the grocery store or
similar shopping situation.

So, how about giving it a try?

By all means, send me your "success stories".


Be Good,

Scot McKay
