I’m in 7th grade and I’m having the worst day ever.  I find out before 1st period that the girl I’ve had a huge crush on for the past year doesn’t want to go out with me.  I didn’t have the cojones to ask her out so I asked her best friend to do it for me.  That morning, her friend tells me that Lauren thinks im really nice but she justs wants to be friends.  We’ve all heard it at some point, the dreaded lets just be friends excuse from a woman but in that moment, I decided I was never gonna ask another girl out until I was 100 freiken percent POSITIVE she would say yes.  Thus began my next 4 years of being a TOTAL pussy around women.

Ironically, a week later I was gearing up for my schools championship hockey game and I skated past her locker.  She gave me an odd smile and a quirky look and said “wow you look tall.”  I just asumed, “Duh, I’m on roller blades” but looking back, all of those signs point to ATTRACTION.  Of course nothing came of it, but when I look back on the amount of OBVIOUS indicators of interest women sent my way between 7th and 11th grade and my complete failure to capitalize on them, I want to throw myself off a cliff.  But the one trend that comes to mind when these flashbacks occur in my head is that most of them happened when I was either stepping on or off the Ice or Golf Course.

I LOVE sports and my favorite movie is Happy Gilmore.  Ice Hockey and Golf together in one makes that movie the funniest and most oscar worthy movie of all time, I’m still shocked that no one agrees on this with me!   When I am charging the net on a breakaway or sticking a 190 yard 4 iron shot within 4 feet of the pin, I feel AMAZING and it turns women on!  I know this because all of my girlfriends since the age of 18 have watched me compete and begged me to take them home the second I finished.  Hopefully by this point, you have picked up on the fact that when you are in your element, doing the things you love, women will find you attractive!  And that doesn’t mean that you’re only gonna be able to score if they are witnessing you in your element but as long as you are feeling that sense of accomplishment you feel when participate in the activities that get your heart pumping, they will feel it too.  How’s that for a poorly worded run on sentence!

Let’s say you are AMAZING at the World of Warcraft.  Is that gonna have the same effect on women as ice hockey?  Probably not, the reason being, computer/video games involve you and a screen.  There are so many wonderful life lessons you learn from playing a sport, especially a team sport like hockey.  You have to learn how to deal with your opponents who want you dead, you have to deal with your team mates, your coaches, your equipment, your nerves, and your physical fitness.  Ice Hockey is kinda like warfare without the guns, it makes you tough, strong and confident.  Another way of saying it, is that sports make you GROUNDED.  They teach you how to handle yourself when shit hits the fan and that is why the jocks get the girls and the green (money).  So if you’re not playing any – my advice is to start immedietly.  And don’t forget to thank me when your life starts transforming for the better.  I’m guessing there are gonna be questions on this post so please leave a comment.
