A quick blog about what you can do this weekend. And if you do not have a museum head to an art store or art gallery and you can do the same exact thing.
I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman, but one of the best Sunday exercises is going to a museum or an art gallery and hanging out there.
Hang out there for two or three hours and have conversations with every single person you see. Everyone.
Walk over to them and say, “excuse me, what do you think of this painting?” or “how does this painting make you feel?” You will get into great conversations all day long.
This teaches you a few things. For one, it shows you that people don’t bite – nothing bad is going to happen to you if you talk to people.
Secondly, it’s great practice. It teaches you how to listen. You have to listen to be able to talk about the subject that you’re discussing.
Specifically in terms of artwork, there is so much going on in front of you. We’re in a museum right now, and a client just told me how easy it is in here, because there are so many things to talk about – the things on the wall, the collections, etc.
But life itself is like a museum! After you go to a museum, you can walk around your life and find anything to talk about. You find things to discuss and things to ask questions about.
Today, during a bootcamp, we started at a food market, and all of the conversations started with talking about brownies and pastries. And all of those people we talked to came back to talk to us later.
This is why observations are so powerful. In a grocery store, in a museum, in an art gallery – you have all of these opportunities to talk about the things that are going on.
I really like this.Just tips hon how to improve are nice.I wanted to Know what to say to approch a bunch of women at once?
I used to do this all the time… if you live in the LA area I recommend going to the Getty Museum.
Went to the Tate in London with David on one of his bootcamps. Great place to practise approaching.
This is such a good exercise to do, especially after doing David’s exercise where you observe people and think about what they are doing, what they may be thinking and what emotions they are feeling at that time.
It really is worth spending the time doing these basic exercises, because after a while, coming up with an opening line will become second nature to you. Because it will feel more natural, you will start the interaction with greater confidence, which will show. And you will carry this confidence throughout the interaction.
This exercise will build the foundations for being able to approach women successfully. Then you can concentrate on improving other aspects you feel you could improve on, such as asking good questions, listening and picking up on key points, revealing things about yourself, your voice tone, your ability to compliment her smoothly, you body language, facial expressions, telling good stories,etc,etc,etc.
When I am at work as a cashier people will bring up stuff like movies or something of interest and I will ask them where did they find and it will start up a conversation or we will talk politics or whatever comes to mind.
Hi Frankie,
use the same type of observational openers, however when interacting with groups i will always make the group more cohesive, you dont want to sepearte the group at first. Girls are always looking out for their friends and making sure their safe. When asking questions be sure to direct them at one person within the group but when sharing your own thoughts be sure to engage each and every individual with eye contact which will win over the whole group. Only then..You can then choose to have an individual conversation with any of them….Let me know how you get on…Adam.
Good ideas David! Good blog!
A new art exhibit opened recently at a local museum and I’ve been thinking about checking it out. Although I should have gone on the day they had the opening reception. I’ve done that before and those are the best days because the most people are there at that time, including hot women. But any day afterwards is still fine, and you may even see some really cool art.
