On one of the many local forums here in Hawaii, guys often ask for dating advice. Like a bad crack habit, I always add my two cents. Sometimes people like my advice, sometimes they don’t. Every once in a while, I’ll get a private (non public) message from guys asking for specific advice. I do my best to help them based upon the little information I have and the even little else I know about them.
Occasionally, guys also ask me for live in person help or “to become my apprentice.” At that point, it usually scares the crap out of me that I could actually start my own pickup school. Not saying that I’d be any good, but merely that a school is entirely feasible.
I‘ve considered starting small and cheap. I would charge something extremely minimal like $50 or $100 just to make sure the guys were committed and I’d justify that low cost with the clear idea of “I really don’t know what I’m doing.” I’ve even considered giving the money back to the student if I felt he succeeded.
The point is that I would hone my teaching skills kinda like a haircutting school offers really cheap haircuts.
Then all of it comes tumbling down with the actually realization that I would actually be teaching. It made me think of the Game in how Mystery was always sabotaging his own success; how he’d be offered a myriad of reality shows, but would always turn them down.
Do I really have a fear of my own success? Am I really too comfortable where I am? Am I just afraid I won’t do a mind blowing job helping others? Pickup teaches being comfortable stepping outside one’s comfort zone so where does this leave me? I see tons of people shy away from excellent opportunities for success and as stand on the edge of another one—-especially after being put here many times-—I wonder am I really that much stronger than anyone else?
