The Ocho: A love introduction

Let’s face it, we’ve all got issues. Some people have difficulties with school, others have issues with finding a job. My worst enemy is trying to approach women. Finding an appropriate and effective technique to talk to women is an important, and not always so easy, lesson to learn in life.

While for some, talking to women comes naturally. Not me. Definitely not me. I’m short, hairy, overweight, and I try to compensate for all of these socially unacceptable norms with my sense of humor because let’s face it, nobody can really hate a funny guy. Even worse, nobody really seems to take an interest in dating the nice and funny guy.

I wanted to start blogging in order to find those easier techniques to at least get conversations started and hopefully get some phone numbers as well. I’m not here to prove or disprove any dating pick up ploys but rather to see what benefits me in the hopes that maybe some of these methods might work for others like me.

During Spring Break, I went to see the movie, “She’s Out of My League” and I admittedly went to go see it with my mom. If I want to prove anything, I’d like to prove one simple thing that I learned. Hopefully, someone as borderline unattractive as myself can get with a perfect 10. However, I’ve been taught my whole life that only beautiful people date each other; It doesn’t look too promising for me.

Every week, I will try out something new in order to get women’s attention. I have some ideas already but if any people decide to read these blogs, please feel free to email me any techniques that may or may not have worked for you and I will gladly try them.

So sit back and enjoy while I attempt to do the near-impossible and almost fatal: talking to women.
