While
I was out and about approaching 30 women as per The Revolution! yesterday, I saw something
interesting.
A couple were walking
through an outlet mall holding hands. Suddenly, the woman stopped and turned
around and started walking back towards something. The guy held onto her hand
tightly… And tried to continue walking, pulling on her arm like and leaning
forward like he was battling against a strong breeze. After a few seconds of
the couple struggling to pull apart from each other, she broke free of his
hand. He sighed deeply, closed his eyes, breathed in and looked down, all very
over-the-top animated.
The woman pranced over
to a nearby shoe store, and while her guy was standing there with his eyes
clamped shut, she picked up a pair of boots.
“What a great deal!”
she said and examined the boots with her undivided attention. The look on her
face was utterly, completely, 100% focused on the boots. It looked as though
she had forgotten that she just wrestled her arm away from the guy whose hand
she was holding. No resentment, no emotional charge, just “I’m looking at this
pair of boots to see if it’s a good deal!”
In contrast, the guy’s
face twitched with chaos.
The poor dude’s temper
tantrum reaction definitely was NOT missed by her, though she completely
ignored it. A moment later, seemingly satisfied after looking closely at the
boots, she walked back over to him and they walked on together, only this time
no longer holding hands.
We can speculate on
and on about her problems, his problems, their problems as a couple… Some guys
out there might simply throw labels on them, like “She’s superficial,” or “He’s
just a beta.” Who knows what mistakes he did beforehand to set up this
situation, or what he’s been doing or what the context is? We only have this
snapshot to use as a learning tool, so lets focus on his actions to see what we
can learn from his mistakes (and obvious frustration).
Consider
the following questions:
·
What’s
another course of action the guy could have taken that would have kept the date
going smoothly?
·
What’s
a light, playful, humorous way the guy could have handled himself in the
situation?
·
After
she ‘escapes’ to check out the boots, what are some other options the guy has
besides sighing dramatically and standing motionless with his eyes closed
(which obviously helps him out NOT AT ALL)?
·
How
would this guy benefit from meeting a lot more women
