Hey DJ's,

Here is an idea that you can use to see how you are progressing. I am a very visual person that likes to see what kind of progress I am making. Here is what I do:

Everytime I see a girl that I want to meet and ask for her number, I do either two things. I either go up and introduce myself and then ask for the number, or I wimp out and do nothing. Everytime I make an approach and ask for the number, I give myself a plus one on my calender for that particular day. Everytime I wimp out and do nothing, I give myself a minus one on my calender for that particular day. If I see 4 or 5 women that I really would like to meet, I plus or minus each girl. I review each day to see if I have more pluses(positives) or minuses(negatives). What is my bottom line? Just like any business operator, I am looking to see if I am being productive or I am being unproductive.

The more pluses I see each day the more confidence I create. The more confidence I create, the more successful I am in my next approach. Success feeds success. The opposite holds true for the minuses. You will see that the more minuses you have, the more unconfident you will be, the more you will not approach. This is why you need to keep score. You will see a pattern.

For those that are new and need something small to do before asking for the number. Just try to make eye contact and smile. Grade yourself the same way. How many times when you passed by a girl and you looked down? You need to see where you stand. Grade yourself!

For those that are intermediate and you want a little more than the beginner, do all of the beginner's steps and then say "Hi". Again grade yourself. See your progress.

For advanced, go up and introduce yourself and before you leave, ask for the phone number. Again grade yourself on your calender. Did I get a plus for approaching, or did I get a minus for not approaching? You can even go a step further by also keeping a notebook on what you did right in your approach and what you did wrong. See if there are any patterns in what is working for you.

At the end of the day or at the end of the week, see if you have more pluses or more minuses. For every minus that I get for not approaching, I give my buddy a dollar. For every approach I do, I keep a dollar that I spend on myself. This way there is a monetary cost for not approaching. If I am net negative for the week (I add all of my pluses and minuses for the week), I pay him.

You can change any of the variables on this scorecard to make this more challenging.

It's really up to you. It's your life. You determine the how much success you want in your life. It's all about you. This scorecard approach helps you keep score. I hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Legend

Thanks Don!
That is a brillant tip on how to force yourself more to ask for numbers or whatever.

But I certainly will leave out the part with the 1 dollar, because I have a really bad success rate at the moment. I am just able to talk/dance/ask for a number when I am kind of druken and my mood is great (which isn't normally the case I regret)


Perhaps I will begin your method by using "compliments" on the girls I know .. You cannot lose anythink this way I suppose.

Cool post. Maybe there is some way to alter your tip to keep track of other things besides just approaches, but that might get a little too complicated.

Someone who does programmping could write up an online database and you could compare yourself to other DJs. And there could be a little macromedia flash game in which different women appear on the screen and you have to click buttons to say certain phrases for practice. And then we could use an excel sheet that is integrated with the database to calculate our own personal DJ quotient.

In other words, yeah it would get complicated.

Amlothi, you're onto something there. Actually, AOL had a "dating game" a while back called "Score!" that paired you with a girl of your choice, a situation, and multiple choice answers.

It was actually really fun, and it was a great teaching tool. There was always two ways to win, and you got a score after you were done telling you where you went wrong. It was very DJ-ish, if I remember right.

Wow Don I was thinking the same thing, but decided that giving myself an option for failure wasn't really an option. It gives me a reason to wuss out. "Well I'm already ahead by +1 for this week so I don't think I'll go up to her". Instead I am focusing on a success rate % graph. I am officially today no longer refusing to be an AFC at any cost so I will use the 3 sec rule on any girl I'm intrested so long as she isn't in the arms of another guy or overly busy at work. Now I'm going to mark down how many attempts I make each day/week and how many of those panned out to be phone numbers. When I get better I'll add another section which is how many girls I called panned out to be a date and even further in bed. So I know that being very unskilled I am going to get many more rejection then success, but as time goes on my approach and experience will get better and I'll get to see how much of a difference it made for me by just sucking it up and getting rejected. Who knows maybe a graph like that would provoke a few AFCs out there to get off their asses and try it too. Anyways I'm off to the bookstore to grab some books and hopefully get a number from the first hottie i see.

Once again, Don the Legend cuts through the haze of metaphor and philosophy to generate a real TIP!

Louis & Copeland also discuss this in their Mastery Program regarding recordkeeping. It's a good idea to quantify your progress; that way, you can see genuine improvement or focus on your weaker points!

Good job Don!

Good tip, but it would make me poor. I see more than 10 chicks/day that I would like to approach, but I don't because of bad opportunity.

How many of the girls that you see on the street do you approach guys? I don't think you have the time to approach all the good locking ones.

The original tip is an excellent tip. I use to that, but I don't know why I stopped. It had worked great. I probably stopped b/c I didn't want to treat it as a game, but sometimes you have to.

Recordkeeping your approaches...viewing every chick your gut wants you to approach as a + or a - depending on whether you approach or not... these are useful ideas....can't seem to stop using elipses...

fascinating.
