If I could have a dollar for every time a reader emailed me to ask or complain about the following technique, I would be a rich man now. Well, at least rich enough to take you out for a nice steak dinner tonight.
You see, somewhere out there on the Internet is a site that teaches guys to print business cards with their contact info on them and to hand them out to women at clubs, bars, and shopping malls.
Sounds tacky, eh? Unfortunately there are MANY guys that have actually tried this method and failed MISERABLY. Just this week, another guy emailed me to tell me how he has handed out 45 business cards to different women about 2 weeks ago...and hasn't gotten a single response yet.
I am going to tell this to EVERYBODY now. This silly trick does NOT work. It will NEVER work - unless you get really lucky - because it is:
1) WIMPY - Admit it. You're only doing this because you're afraid of closing for numbers.
2) WEIRD - Think about it. Does hanging out business cards to random strangers sound like a normal person would do?
3) UNREALISTIC: Do you seriously think that women will phone a stranger they don't even know?
Trust me. If you try this trick, your cards are just going to get THROWN AWAY. Or better yet, you might get what one of my readers got about two years ago. He handed out over 200 business cards at the Welcome Dance on his campus for all the first year students, and about a week later he started getting phone calls from GAY GUYS who wanted to hookup with him. Apparently some funny guy had gotten hold of one of his business cards and written his contact info on bathroom walls all over campus with the following message, "BJ? Call XXXXXX at XXX-XXXX."
I laughed when I heard this story...but really...it's quite sad.
Listen. I don't care how desperate you are. But PLEASE use your head and be careful about these types of techniques. Before you try something from a newsletter or ebook, think about its merits. (No, I am not slamming myself. If I were full of BS. If you do come across a technique that you doubt, feel free to send it over and I will take a look. But don't blindly do anything stupid such as handing out 200 business cards to random strangers at a club.
