I’m just going to be flat out blunt with all you swipers and online daters.

Be a man, and listen to what Alec Baldwin said in Glen Gary Glen Ross.

ABC: Always Be Closing.”

Closing is what life is all about.

There are many great lines from that movie, and I don’t remember all of them. But I can tell you one thing: most of you can open, but you can’t close worth shit.

The other night I was sitting at home. My daughter was asleep in the next room.

I’m at a stage in my life right now where I would love to meet my equal.

I’ve been single for three and a half years now. Really my longest stretch, and I’ve been single for four years at a time. But usually when I’m single, I’m dating somebody, I’m dating multiple people, I’ve got a lover.

Now, this year and last year, and the year before, I’ve been pretty much on my own, by myself, figuring things out.

The type of woman I want to bring and attract into my life.

The type of partner I’m looking for.

The type of person I want, who can be a part of my daughter’s life, because anybody I bring into my life will be part of my daughter’s life, as well.

Let’s just say I’ve grown up.

But I’ve made a decision and the decision was that I’m going to find the most amazing girlfriend for myself. So, how do I go about doing that?

I fucking close.

And that’s it.

The other night, I was on Bumble.

Because I’ll work Bumble, I’ll work face to face contacts. To me, I’ll work anything. When I’m in the mode of looking for somebody great, I know that I need to attract many people into my life to find my equal. So, I’m going to be out flirting and talking and getting set up and dating online. I’m going to do it all.

Because I’m shameless when it comes down to that. I don’t care.

Because I’m looking for somebody who’s my fucking equal.

So the other night I was online, my daughter was asleep, I was home from spending five days in New York City.

So, I got on Bumble and checked out this woman. She looked cute. I wrote her back right away. She wrote me back right away. So, immediately I wrote her back and we went back and forth for about 20 minutes. Conversation was lively, it was fun, and I suggested immediately that we need to get together. Let’s go have a drink, even though I don’t drink. But it’s the standard thing that you have to say.

She agreed as long as I wasn’t a robot, she wanted to have a quick call, said, send me your number.

She sent me her number and I literally pushed the button down instead of sending her another text, I literally got on the phone and talked to her for an hour.

Why? Because that’s what men do. When you’re activity dating and pursuing you are literally doing the pursuing. I wanted to find out what this woman was about, I wanted to talk to her. We had momentum.

There was no reason to put the phone call off for four days like everybody else does. There was no reason to text endlessly back and forth and then try to figure out a time to speak on the phone. She was there, she was breathing, she was texting, we were going back and forth and we were going to have a phone call.

I literally asked her out for this week.

She was busy on the nights that I was free. So we decided to do it the following week.

And that’s the secret to that. You see, most men are not romantic anymore. Most men don’t go after a woman. They’re constantly looking for validation and seeking approval.

And what women are looking for is a man that pursues them, goes after them, isn’t afraid to pursue.

I’ve been doing this a lot lately. Whenever I find somebody I’m interested in now, I’m going for it right away. And the women are responding and responding hard. You see, feeding is a game for people who don’t have neuroses.

Dating is for a game for closers. If you want a great girl, then you have to be a man and you have got to step up. There are so many women who are online. They’re so frustrated because men are endlessly texting back and forth. Men are not closing, men aren’t even asking them out, they’re just getting phone numbers and not calling. See, I know all this stuff because I’ve been approaching women for so long. I know all their frustrations.

So, you need to listen to me right now.

You need to understand that if you want a great girl, she’s out there, but you need to be the man and you need to be the closer. Because closers get the great women. And guys that just open endlessly, well, all they get is a jar of oil and the constant stroking of their own cock.

That’s right. Sorry to put it as blunt as that way, but you’re never going to get a great girl and your never going to get anybody to touch anything if you continually act like the guy who needs validation.
