Dude, what’s my motivation?
by Mike Pilinski on Nov.30, 2009, under Reader Q&A
Dude, how do you stay motivated? In the past few months I’ve talked to a number of women. Here’s the results:
1 date, but no number second date. Whatever, it’s cool
3 married chicks
4 chicks with “serious” boyfriends
3 straight up disses. I’m sorry dude, I didn’t follow your system and got smoked.
1 alcoholic
1 lesbian
1 asexual chick. I kid you not, brother. I only later did I hear about her game from a friend. She doesn’t want a dude or a lady. I’ve read that 1% of the population is asexual. Jeez, that’s fucked up.
2 unreturned e-mails suggesting we meet for a beverage at a coffee house,etc.
I guess I just gotta keep improving and throwing it out there. There’s no way I’m going back to my old girlfriend. Sorry ’bout the diatribe, my man
Peace out, player

Hey Ray,
You sure get the A+ for Effort my friend, no doubt. Asexuals too! There was a time when I seemed to specialize in finding those 1%er’s who didn’t want to have sex with me. They could run but they couldn’t hide!
Seriously, everything in this world works in streaks… hot & cold. Whenever I hit a cold streak like you’re in, I pull in my horns and turtle up for awhile. Work on self-improvement, hit the gym, take up a new hobby, whatever. Let the thing turn itself around and wait for the fish to come swimming back my way. You can’t get too obsessed over this meeting and dating shit or it will destroy you. I sometimes figure that when you start trying too hard like this, some kind of desperation starts to leak through your presentation of yourself without your even knowing it, and it fucks up your vibe and reinforces the bum streak. Just a hunch I have.
Motivation works in streaks too, no sense chasing after it when it dries up (you should try staying motivated writing these big-ass books like I do — sometimes I would rather just get baked and watch The View than do all this fuckin’ thinking.) It will return when it’s good and ready. Use the downtime to polish your HSM appeal and let Nature take its sluggish course.
