My friend and I are half drunk, discussing life.

It was about then we noticed a real sizzling hot babe. Every male turned their heads and even those with girlfriends managed to sneak a glance of lust.

"Look at her," I say. "What would you do if you had a girlfriend like that?"

"Beats me," he replies. "The pressure would be high knowing everyone else here wants her. I wonder how her boyfriend's feeling right now."

"Maybe your level isn't high enough," I reply.

Level?

That's the only way to put it.

RPG fans or computer gamers would be familiar with this term. If your level isn't high enough, you can't take on the harder parts of the game.

"Um.. yeah.. I guess that's it," my friend replies with a weird look on his face.

"If your level was high enough, you wouldn't mind losing her, not to mention going out and making new competition everytime she walks by a male," I try to explain myself.

My friend laughs.

"If you want to put it THAT way," he smirks. "But I guess you're right. You can't lie to yourself that you're the pimp, or the bomb, or the catch, or the man. You just can't," he continues.

"The only way you could get a go at her is to be at a very high level. And that means levelling up," I say with a grin, reminiscing my younger gaming days.

That's when I decided to post this. We treat some people different from others. Some deserve our respect, the others don't.

But for the ones that command respect, what did they do? What do they have? They certainly paid their dues. Think about it for a second.

Whatever you constantly practice, you get better at.

Whatever you want isn't impossible to achieve. I didn't learn to speak to girls in a day. I had to speak to kids first, then older women, then men, then everyone. Right now, I'm still learning how to be a great conversationalist.

If you asked me to start a conversation with a girl I fancy before I was ready to even speak to kids, you'd be better off asking me to jump out of an airplane without a chute.

It doesn't only apply to girls. It applies to everything in life. If there's a challenge you can't meet, go work on it, come back and try again.

Back to the pub.

Her boyfriend leaves for the bathroom. We only live once, so I figure why not. I walk up to her and say hi.

Half of the place still has their eyes on her, so I guess I was in the picture as well.

She looks at me, then turns around and ignores me.

"Ouch," I say as I eject.

I walk back to our place as my friend greets me with a comforting laugh.

"Guess my level wasn't high enough," I smile.

There's a lot I have to improve on and there's no other way than to just go out and do it.

If you put it in terms of levelling up, you'll have the warcraft players attacking all the low level creatures in rapid non-stop succession to get max level.

If you were wearing your Dragon Armor (+200 Hit Points, Invincible to Snobbery) you would have succeeded.
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

You can't level off lower creatures. Infact killing the weak brings dishonor.

OMG I'm a geek!

Well you know....that doesn't matter in the concern of leveling up. +2 experience IS +2 experience you know.

But its true though. There are levels in real life. Most just don't see them.

You level up everytime you invest in yourself. Evrytime you read a new book. Everytime you succeed, everytime you feel a little better about yourself, and so on..

You can't say level though, because level implies there is an end state, an upper limit. And if we say level, we have to now figure out who is top dog, what level is he, what skills does he possess, how much experience does he gain for every approach, how many levels do you need to use a certain skill, what happens if there's a cheater that uses a high level skill while being of a lower level quantity, what if the girl has a resistance, what cracks resistance, is there a such thing as a fatal trait that always sticks no matter what skill you use, what level is the level that provides the most signal to noise ratio, what level is a master level, what level does a noob become un-noobed, what happens when a lower leveled guy beats a higher leveled guy with the same skills used, is he a hacker?

Too much to think about!!!!
 

Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.
