who is not an inherently sketchy, creepy person, nevertheless gave me really bad advice.
He said, Connell, you're too nice.
Go out for a month and just be a dick.
Be a bit of a dick to women.
Women like that.
That kind of made sense.
I didn't like the sound of it, but I said, all right, whatever my coach says, I'm going to do it within reason.
So I went out for a couple of weeks, mainly approaching.
And I went out one night.
I remember these two or three women were dancing on the dance floor.
And I said, okay, what is a jerky alpha thing to say?
And I said, hey, you, no dancing.
This is a no dancing zone.
And they looked at me like I was an alien.
And a couple nights later, I'm at a different venue.
And I'm being really a real cocky jerk.
Now, I have a smart-ass side.
I have a cheeky side.
But I'm also a pretty big sweetheart, I like to think.
Yet I was just going overboard with the cocky, badass, fake alpha behavior.
