It may seem like the perfect time to build upon your romantic prospects, but here’s what you have working against you:</p><ol start="1"><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Most guys only think that meeting a girl at a bar/nightclub on a Friday or Saturday night is his time to shine. </p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The place where you’re looking to meet women is likely loud and dark making it hard for her to focus on you. </p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">She’s expecting you to hit on her.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And she’ll be under the influence for several hours. </p></li></ol><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Courtship isn’t just about shooting your shot, it’s about understanding the logistics of what works against you and what can work in your favor.</span> 🧠</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="not-doing-what-every-other-guy-does">Not Doing What Every Other Guy Does Matters</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You’ll never be able to fathom the number of times a woman gets hit on daily. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, dating apps, text messages, and real life all start to pile up for an attractive woman. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">How does a man stand out?</span> He starts by carving out a routine for himself where he gets to meet women weekly while learning new skills, completing a physical activity, joining or cultivating a new community, or feeding an existing hobby or passion.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Here are some examples of what you can do to meet women in your area without forcing a connection:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Co-ed Intramural sports: The league can be anything from volleyball to bowling</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dance classes: Hotbeds for meeting women and a great way to learn a new skill</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Book clubs: Far more social than you might think</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Cooking classes: Similar to dance classes, and let’s face it, a great hobby to have</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Membership clubs: Will give you access to a variety of recurring events and people</p></li></ul><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="seek-a-connection-not-a-number">Seek a Connection… Not a Number</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Ever heard or read the line, “I didn’t feel a connection” from a woman? Ever been left on read after getting a girl’s number without a reply? </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It’s likely that she doesn’t feel any sense of urgency to call or text you back because she doesn’t feel anything at all. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/datingbyblaine/?utm_source=yourbestman.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=how-weekends-can-sabotage-your-dating-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blane Anderson</a>, one of my favorite men’s dating coaches, described women meeting men at bars and nightclubs as trying to sort through different cans of tomato sauce in a grocery aisle. Sure, they have different labels, but your sense of choice gets distorted when presented with so many options in the same place. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Turning your week into a recurring opportunity to chase excellence, explore novelty, and meet new people while women are present will get you much farther ahead. </p><ol start="1"><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It creates serendipity which makes it more exciting for women to meet you. </p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It deprioritizes the women you’ll meet and still allows you to take action (No more putting pussy on the pedestal) 🐈</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Accumulating these unique activities and hobbies, at the very least, makes you more interesting</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And meeting someone while doing something distinctive will stick in your head and evoke more feeling</p></li></ol><hr class="content_break"><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Sincerely, </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Your Best Man</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"></p></div><div class='beehiiv__footer'><br class='beehiiv__footer__break'><hr class='beehiiv__footer__line'><a target="_blank" class="beehiiv__footer_link" style="text-align: center;" href="https://www.beehiiv.com/?utm_campaign=8a1cd4a1-5903-40cb-945b-bec057204949&utm_medium=post_rss&utm_source=your_best_man">Powered by beehiiv</a></div></div>
