When it is time to pick up women, pick up women! When I go out, I see so many guys just standing around talking to other guys. Forget that! If there are women in your area, go get them! When I take my students out, I often push them by setting time limits on how quickly they must approach women. I tell them that they have two minutes to approach someone otherwise they have to do ten push-ups in public. At first they think I am clowning around but after the first person does push-ups, they realize that I’m serious. If that still doesn’t cause them enough pain to approach, I tell them that they are going to have to do ten push-ups or jumping jacks while yelling “I am a princess!” Usually that motivates the majority of guys. I once actually brought a diaper and bib to a large bootcamp I was co-teaching at and told the guys that whoever didn’t approach would be wearing the outfit. Needless to say, every guy approached that day and got great results.

If you are doing one set every two minutes, you could potentially approach thirty women in one hour. If you approach that many women in an hour, it is highly likely that you are going to get some numbers and possibly instadates. I have a couple of friends that when we get together, we don’t even talk to each other. I ask them “How long do we have?” They tell me, and we go to work. We usually split up from each other and game individually but if we need to wing each other than we combine our talents. Since we’re so efficient with what we do, we always have a great time.

Just so that I’m clear about the two minute approaching method I am going to explain it again. Basically, I tell my students, “You have two minutes to approach someone!” If they are not in a set by the end of the two minutes, I have them do push-ups. If they are in a set and it is going well, they are allowed to stay in their set. If they approached but it didn’t lead to anything, I restart the clock and we start over. It’s so amusing to see what comes out of the students mouths when there is less than fifteen seconds left on the clock; “Would you like to take a picture of me?” “Do you know where (insert store) is?” “Nice (insert object)” They’ll say anything to avoid some embarrassment. One of the fun things about doing push-ups in public is that your social anxiety pretty much disappears once you’ve done them. You’re no longer worried about what people are going to say and begin to really have fun in your approaches. When my students start to get good at approaching within two minutes, I then shorten the time to one minute, then thirty seconds, and sometimes even ten seconds. When I have them do ten second sets, they literally scramble around to meet people. I’ve often had students tell me that they’ve approached more women in one day of my bootcamps than they have in their entire lives.

By the way, you don’t need to take a bootcamp to approach women. Simply get a friend who has the guts to approach, bring a watch, and get to work! It’s that simple.
