VH1 Pickup Artist 2 Casting

When you are in an uncomfortable situation do you ever get a knot in your stomach?

When I first started campaigning for votes, I got that knot when a woman asked me what show I'm auditioning for. I realized that I used to get that knot because I thought my intentions would be misunderstood. After campaigning for about two weeks I still have that knot! But I've learned that those who know me well didn't misunderstand me!

The women I know well surprised me with how supportive they were once I told them was auditioning to be on The Pick Up Artist. Not one thought it was a bad thing that I'm doing this. Most of them told me that I need something like this!

I think its because most of them like me but aren't attracted to me. Plus they're too nice to say this to my face, but they've always
known that I need to make improvements with how I think in order to increase my chances of being successful with women.

When I asked women I'm just acquainted with, it was a different story. I polarized them the way you'd expect a presidential candidate to polarize the general public.

Some of them thought it was sleazy. They thought I was doing this to learn how to pick up girls for the sake of picking up girls and didn't want to hear me out. Some thought I just wanted to get on TV and didn't want to hear me out either. Others thought it was hilarious and told me I'd be great because they find me naturally entertaining. Some were like "Your social skills and fashion sense are too good for the show" and told me that I don't emanante a "dork" vibe, which surprised me. I didn't realize this, but women size up whether or not a guy is a "dork" quickly.

Some simply were appalled by the irony that I had the guts to ask for their vote, but wasn't able to utilize that courage already into success. Others just told I should just "be myself" and they don't want me to change. Hmm...

Now I'm interested in the opinions of women that don't know me. But one thing I've gotten from this is that if those who know me well think I need to get better, that I'll work on that regardless of what happens here.

Now I'm getting ready for what I expect to be fun. I got my HS alumni directory, and I'm going to touch base with people I went to HS with but haven't talked to in years. We'll see how it goes...
