Today, we go beyond what you're wearing, eating, or smelling like and talk about what it means to be a man-- men are courageous.
How can you expect yourself to meet the woman of your dreams without a little chutspah? (if you need to google that word to find out what it means, we won't hold it against you...unless your Jewish and do, in fact, speak Yiddish).
Let's play out a scenario; we'll entitle it "Afternoon at the Cafe."
The scene opens with you, at a cafe, sitting near a beautiful woman.
You: (remain silent)
<<turn to face the beautiful woman>>
Her: (looks up from her meal and notices you)
...and now what?
You are a confident, well-groomed, well-dressed, independent man (and if you're not, you're getting there!) She's a beautiful woman with kind eyes and a copy of a popular novel sitting next to her grilled cheese sandwich. What do you do?
You: (casually, referring to her book) I've heard great things about that book.
Her: I've really enjoyed it so far.
You: Hi, my name is [Your Name Here]
Her: Hello.
You: Do you have a minute? I'd love to hear more about that book.
Her: I'm actually leaving now, but it was nice to meet you.
<<she quickly gathers her things and gets up to leave>>
The End.
"But wait!" --you may say-- "She just walked away and totally blew me off! I was courageous to even talk to her!"
Yes, it was courageous to talk to her, but that is not the true test of your courage. Real courage is pulling yourself up off of the ground and taking the opportunity to talk to the next beautiful woman that comes your way-- even after this tragic mishap.
Gentlemen, if I were to offer you any advice it would simply be this:
"Courage is more than simply being the bravest man in the bunch, it is being the man who is most willing to try again, even after an apparent failure."
So get back up on your feet, good sirs. Continue your search for love and adventure.
Cheers, my friends.
