@ Graduate School - dry spell

[ceiliak]

Hi Guys,

I used to be on this board more back in 2002-2004. Since then I have had a pretty damn good track record with women from things I learned here and in life. Lived in South America for a few years and was able to really live a good lifestyle.
Now I'm back in the states and in a rigorous, reputable MBA program...but it makes it pretty challenging to get laid with the kinds of girls I normally like. With the time and academic demands of school, the awful 70% to 30% male/female ratio at school (good portion of them foreign), to the too "type A" for my liking type of chicks you see at business school, I'm getting frustrated.

I just wanted to see if anyone out there has had similar experience in graduate school. I work out 6 days a week, I can work good game once I meet a chick, have a good amount of social proof, but it just seems as though a lot of girls here on campus don't want to give it up, perhaps b/c its such a small community. In other words, if they slut it up, they fear it will affect their "image" and potential for networking, jobs, etc.

Thanks for listening, gentlemen...would value some input from other DJs out there that can relate.

Mike

don't find excuses or make generalizations.

I am in graduate school in a relatively secluded community as well. I could disagree with all your observations.

Start small. Think small. Expect small. One brick of achievement could be saying hello to 10-15 strangers in a week.

Then work your way up to meet random women. It's all about "inscattering" as we'd say in transport physics.

If you have a well-damped source, you'll have no trouble with hooking up with many many women.

I am not saying I found a general solution to the problem, but you have to start climbing.

Jumping around aimlessly and complaining will get you nowhere. Identify small tasks and achieve them.

Good luck.

Law school girls are easy.

Isn't you're graduate school attached to a university in someway? Surely you can just pick up girls there.

Exactly. Plus, you are not too old to pick the crazy 20 year-old girls up.

well

Well guys,

The graduate school that I go to is a stand-alone grad program with just a few hundred students. The avg age in my prgram is 28, but in the MS and MA programs its more like 24.

Argggh....just gotta somehow change up my approach. I took your advice and have been socializing more on campus with girls, saying hello, etc....even though we are in the middle of exams and presentations.

I'm in the Phoenix metro area, so when i do have a break in my demanding schedule there are lots of bars and things to do, but I really have trouble finding the time/space in schedule to really enjoy those things...

Thing is, I know that in other environments I tend to do well....I just need to make some changes or perhaps just realize that its a temporary situation at grad school environment?

I just wanted to see if anyone else has any tips for better managing my time, or if thats just the nature of the beast in a rigorous grad program, time is at a premium.

I go to graduate school in the Baltimore area, and while my school has many professional students in their 20's, I can tell you that the vast majority of women I've gotten since I got here have been from outside of the school. Find something in Phoenix to do (new hobbies/communities to join) and simply get yourself out there. You will meet people and women in the process.

Update:

Took a pretty attractive girl home from the campus bar last night, lots of people were out, school ending soon, drunk fest and it was fun.

Perhaps I'm back.
