Seth Godin writes about whether or not it is time to quit your job:

If he leaves and joins another company, he gets to reinvent himself. No one in the new company will remember young Doug from 10 years ago. No, they’ll treat Doug as the new Doug, the Doug with endless upside and little past.

Let’s look at it from the perspective of evolution: Species that evolve the fastest are the ones that don’t mate for life. By switching mates, swapping genes with someone new, you continually reshuffle the gene pool, making it more likely you’ll create something new and neat and novel and useful.

I thought about how this relates to women (of course) and was reminded of college. In my sophomore year I had a crush on a girl who only liked me as a friend. I accepted that and didn’t really push it, so we’d study together and she’d talk about guys she wanted to bang.

Four years later…

My game changed a lot. I was on the right path to figuring out how this dating thing works, and how to get what I want. Then my former crush invited me on a night out with her friends. As tight as I think my game had gotten, she simply could not accept that I changed, and tried to treat me like she did back in college. I refused to be pegged to this old version of me, so we got into a fight and haven’t talked since. Nothing would shake the strong impression of me she had in her mind, and I wasn’t willing to build a new relationship based on our old one. It’s so much easier to start anew than work on someone who already made up their mind. Less hassle, less work.

Sounds like a kicky little Miramax movie, doesn’t it? It’s not. The finicky climax is the bane of womankind’s existence.

Any woman who tells you they climax every time they have sex is lying. If you are one of these women who makes such an outrageous claim, then please bottle your mojo, sell it, and put it on a shelf, because I want some of that.

I only experience a success rate of about 50 percent. Now, before you go spouting off your machismo about what you could do to me, or how I’ve never been with a real man, or how I just need to relax, or some other such BS, I will give you a pre-emptive HA! YEAH RIGHT!

Just like every meal I eat is not going to be INCREDIBLY AWESOME, every sexing I have is not going to produce the best result. Men, I’m telling you, if your woman isn’t getting off every time, unless there appears to be a significant hang-up, just let it go. It should come as no surprise to you that women and men have different needs, and often a woman can enjoy having sex without climaxing. So quit hassling them about it!

I’ve had one guy accuse me of having some sort of sexual dysfunction because I couldn’t come with him. The reason I couldn’t come with him was because he was very small, but that’s beside the point. He put so much pressure on me to climax, probably to fulfill his own hyper-inflated ego, that it completely turned me off and I thought he was a total weirdo. Additionally, there’s been the problem of coitus interruptus where I’ve had to “have a talk” about why I hadn’t climaxed the previous few times. Well, I don’t fucking know, and I was really enjoying myself before we stopped, so thanks a lot for annoying the hell out of me. If I say that I can’t come every time, then that means please accept it as fact and deal with it. Nothing is going to change the situation (which I am perfectly comfortable with) so if it’s that much of a problem for you, then you can, well, go fuck yourself!

I saw an amazing commercial yesterday at the gym. I was sitting in the lobby watching Fox News with dirty men; the kind who prefer not to cover up with towels. Reenactment:

Previous: The shower guy

The commercial starts when a hot woman pulls up to a drive-through dry cleaner. We catch a glimpse of some schlub in the car behind her who we are to assume she is attracted to. When she pays for her dry cleaning, she gives the elderly cashier extra money and tells her to pay for the guy’s shirts. “And give him this card too.” :whoa:

Then on the screen you see, “Bold takes initiative.”

Imagine how perfect the world would be if this really happened - if women would pay for a man without expecting or asking anything in return. The girl in this commercial is my dream girl, and for that reason she does not exist. There is no woman out there that is confident enough to pull a move like this. NONE. Shit, there are still women who are scared of kissing on the first date after a man drops money on dinner. There are still women who take months to get in bed, something that shows no boldness or initiative.

So while this commercial painfully reminds me of what I do not currently have, it also offers some hope: it gives me a dream to chase, a purpose in life. If this girl does exist, who better than me to find her?

(Turns out the commercial is for Ford, a car I will never buy in my life. You can watch it here.)

The chances that things aren’t going to work between me and a girl hovers around 90%. We’ll go out, bang, and then experience an amicable phase out. Feelings are rarely hurt. Often times, a warm friendship develops that involves going out and drinking in a group (things don’t feel “weird” in groups). It’s during those times I spot her hot friend that I just must have.

I know a lot of guys like to bang a girl and then try to revisit the vagina at a later date. I don’t see a problem with that, but it’s not really my style. Once it’s done, it’s done. I tough it out through the droughts to stay motivated in my search for new vagina. But God forbid that possible new vagina is best friends with old vagina. The same girl that loved your cock and told all her friends about it will now do anything to cockblock you with fury.

Sure I can be a little less lazy and find a girl that is not one degree away from an ex, but if she’s hot I want it and I don’t care. The last thing I want to is make the ex feel uncomfortable, but then I would be thinking about someone else’s feelings before mine, and that really doesn’t make a lot of sense. Plus do you realize how much easier it is to bang a girl in your social circle than from a cold approach?

If I was boring in bed then I think the ex has every right to cockblock me, to prevent her friends from experiencing a bad lay. Since this is not the case, a cockblock on her part that doesn’t allow me to bang her friend is just pure selfishness on her part. Who is she to deny her friend sexual pleasure? If I bang a girl that is incredible in bed, I encourage my buddies to go for it. I’ll even bring the camera. It’s a shame girls are too insecure to do the same.

Dating women is risky. The most important thing in life, time, is wasted again and again on girls who are unable to meet our standards. We need a way to quickly screen out women that do not at least meet a certain level of quality. But we cannot trust them to accurately represent themselves through dating. A woman you thought was your dream girl by date one turns out to be a neighborhood bicycle by date three.

Women test us all the time. Most of their tests try to figure out how much we really like them and how much attention we are willing to give. It would make sense that a typical woman would test for your investment in her because that’s all she is really trying to find: a man who devotes all of his resources into her. But I think men need tests too. We need tests to determine if the girl we’re talking to is crazy or not. It would be nice if there was some ready-made resource of tests we could use on women, customizable for the guy depending on what he wants.

For instance, one thing I don’t want is a shallow bitch. I did a little thinking and created a test for this that is built right into the approach.

The test: Go up to a physically attractive girl (at least a 7 out of 10) in a bar or club and say, “Hi. There is a guy at the bar that wants to buy you a round of drinks.”

I figure the kind of girl that would accept this offer is not the kind of girl I want to date. But before incorporating this test into my toolbox, I had to validate it to make sure it really tests what I want it to. Last week at Tabaq, I went up to girls who, from my experiences, I knew were shallow bitches. They were blonde white girls with fake tans. Probably in a sorority. Carrier of a designer handbag. Looking like she’s too cool for everyone in the bar. If these girls failed my new test, then it probably works.

Conclusion: it works.

The first time I did it was to a girl walking by me. As soon as I hit her with my test, her eyes opened and she reached out to grab her friend. Her eyes stayed on me, ready to find out more and tell me what drinks to order. I told her she failed my test and she immediately walked away, humiliated.

Second time I did it to a girl standing still by the bar. She moved closer to me, her face restraining the joy that “a guy” wanted to buy her a drink. After I told her she failed the test, she tried to play it off like she already had a drink coming.

Same thing with the third girl. This one was a little bit more giddy and cracked a smile. I decided to crush her with, “Haha just kidding. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ”

There are tons of women out there who are completely willing to accept drinks from total strangers. Haven’t they heard of roofies? If men were always offered free drinks like women, I really doubt we’d be salivating as much over something that costs seven dollars. Anyway.

Not only does my first test help me screen out what I don’t want, but it makes these girls feel like shit for at least one minute. I recommend every guy try this because it’s entertaining and educational.

He has won the game of life.
