Why Dinner Dates Are Dumb
Dec 17, 2014Transcript
Hey! James from Social Coach, and have I got a big one today for you!
For some weird reason, our culture, our society, the movies, TV, encourages you to take women on a first or second date out to this formal, sit-down dinner. It is asinine, it is pretty much the dumbest place you could ever realistically take a woman on a first date, and in this video I shot at a 2014 student conference with the lovely Anita, Iâm going to explain to you exactly why, and give you some powerful suggestions on other strategies for first, second, third dates.
James: Now, in this instance, Iâm⊠what am I? 43? How old are you?
Anita: 22.
James: 22. Letâs say Anita and I meet, and sheâs a very, very intelligent young lady, we have a good conversation and I ask her out for dinner. And the first thing I do is take her out to a really nice restaurant. And then I get there, I have to dress up, I have to impress her, sheâs going to start judging me by the quality of restaurant I take her to. Does that make sense? So if you live in Sydney, New York, London, Melbourne, somewhere like that, what are you going to spend? And when I ask guys this, mostly the number is at least a hundred, and for financial market yuppies, sometimes three to five hundred. So youâre looking at at least 150. And youâre in a situation where if you donât spend enough, youâre a cheapskate; if you spend too much, youâre trying to use a law of reciprocity to buy your way into her pants, and youâre putting a huge amount of obligation on the girl, which is not sexy at all.
So okay â thatâs the first difficulty. The second difficulty â if you can use your imagination, imagine youâre at a dinner table â is Iâve got this person I might have chatted to for two hours in a group of people, or maybe I met her at a bar or at a party, and now this complete stranger⊠three-course meal, say that takes two hours. Face-to-face, Iâve got to maintain cold conversation⊠Iâm basically a conversational teacher, thatâs one of the biggest parts of my job. Iâve got to maintain cold conversation for two hours. Youâre setting yourself up for almost certain failure!
So youâre at dinner, and then youâve got issues of if sheâs a really hot, 5â9â girl, and her belly sticks out, sheâs probably not gonna be as open to having sex with you if her firm bikini body is not quite as good as it was before. Secondly, she could be drinking red wine, you could be drinking beer. She could be eating garlic, you could be eating chilli. Itâs a nightmare! The first kiss to a woman⊠I donât know. Your job, your height, the size of your penis, your bank balance⊠itâs like more important than all that put together! Because if the first kiss doesnât work, youâve got to be Ryan Gosling to keep going, in many cases!
So the first kiss has to be perfect. So I highly recommend you make sure both of you brush your teeth before the first kiss, and you engineer that into your date. So the worst thing you can be doing is putting lots of disgusting stuff in both your breaths before you actually try to make a move and hopefully have sex with her.
And finally, for guys in their 20s, you might say this isnât a great deal of importance â when your stomach digests food, it takes a lot of blood. Now, if Iâm planning going from dinner at 7 to coffee at 9.30 to sex at 10.30, and Iâm probably consuming most of my food around 8, my main, and I want to have sex a couple of hours later, and Iâm in my 40s, and Iâm digesting steak, where would I prefer to have that blood than my stomach at 10:30? Can anyone answer that? Down there.
So youâre also ruining your erectile function. So sheâs not going to have as good an experience with you, and if thereâs any nerves⊠and you know, Iâve slept with a lot of women. Thereâs nearly always a little bit of nerves that first time, and a lot of guys report erectile dysfunction. Itâs not you! Itâs girl whoâs scared shitless! And her negative energy is just ruining your little fella.
So you want as much resources as you can, on the first day, of blood available for your little boy, to make sure that it comes off successfully. Very, very important. So as I say, dinner dates are like masturbating with sandpaper. Just do not do it â itâs really stupid.
What do you do?
While weâre on that subject, anything that involves you and some activity â if youâre very nervous, and you havenât had much experience with women, something like mini-golf or pool or bowling might be okay. It does sometimes give you the opportunity to start the touching. But if you have any degree of confidence, i.e. youâve done my boot camp, you should really be sticking to â as Iâll get on to a bit later â your date plan, and your date plan should ultimately end up on a nice, low-slung couch, somewhere pretty close to your apartment.
The reason for that is when you do most of the actual seducing here, you donât want to have a long distance to go before you do the final seducing in bed. Otherwise, sheâs sitting in the car, going, âOh, heâs great, but do I want to sleep with him? Is he too old? Iâm not sure about his job. Iâm not sure about this thing he said. I donât know what my friends would think of him. I donât know if heâll get on with my parents.â Sheâs got all this stuff in her head. So you want to give her minimum amounts of time to actually consider this.
So hopefully, Iâve finally sold you on how monumentally stupid an idea taking a woman to dinner for a first or second date is. If you are in a situation where⊠youâre on a date situation, you absolutely must eat something, try to make sure itâs a really light salad, something like that, something that wonât affect your breath, or at least bloody make sure you brush your teeth. And try to make sure itâs not too much whatever â meat, carbs, fat â in your stomach so itâs going to affect your performance when you hopefully get her to the bedroom.
