Lakeside_runner Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Recently there has been a bunch of posts from guys who're looking for the ultimate advice on how to pick-up girls, the holly grail of an approach that would get them any or just a girl. That got me thinking today a lot about how does the whole thing work. Well, dating is like... swimming, biking and running. You start as a kid and you don't know how to do any of these. Then slowly you start learning. Now, getting into the pool, on the bike and into running shoes is the most important aspect - meaning you have to be willing to learn and actually try! Ultimately, you have to find something that works for you, a certain style that allows you to swim efficiently, bike in a nice fast rhythm, an efficient stride for your run. No two people have the same style. There is no ultimate advice on how to do any of these things. There are only certain guidelines on what may work better than something else. Books, PUA crap is like fitness videos

witabix Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Dating is more like the lottery, you have to buy a ticket to have any chance of winning, and you are only trying to match two out of six billion.
Mr White Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 What if I don't like neither biking, nor swimming, nor running?
utterer of lies Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 What if I don't like neither biking, nor swimming, nor running? Then you can simply ignore the bad analogy.
Ross PK Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Dating is more like the lottery, you have to buy a ticket to have any chance of winning, and you are only trying to match two out of six billion. Too right. For me just getting a date would be a miracle.
Author Lakeside_runner Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 All I was trying to say is that you have to find something that works for you. But you have to try if you want results and you have to find it on your own.
tkgirl Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 All I was trying to say is that you have to find something that works for you. But you have to TRI if you want results and you have to find it on your own. swim bike run? TRIathlon anyone? yeah... triathlons are a great way to motivate oneself and to get into shape.. and meeting someone is almost guaranteed and a definite bonus... other than that.. the swim bike run thing is like... dating? that concept was lost on me as well...
Choboto Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 i understood what you said....and your right. you cant run a 4:00 min mile the first mile you ever run. it takes practice and hard work, sometimes pain to get up there. same with dating, you cant be successful without working at it and failing, sometimes pain(heartbreak) to get your 4:00 min mile(sex, marriage or whatever)
