Love them or hate them, the Jersey Short cast have become a part of the culture.

Personally, I LOVE the show.

Not because it’s groundbreaking, life-changing television.

But because it’s a fantastic escape from reality — and just a good time.

I mention them today after I saw Vinny tweet the following:

I feel that.

I’ve been there.

In fact, having the spent the better part of this past year in front of the computer, trying to build the next 100 billion dollar technology company… writing code, designing interfaces, and other nerdy shenanigans … it often leaves me in this really analytical/non-social headspace.

So when I go out, or even just during the day when I see my future wife at a cafe, I’m not always Mr. Gregarious Pickup Artist Man.

I’m just a regular dude…

And it turns out, that even Vinny, a dude from a show which has women publicly announcing their DTF status to millions, for the chance at banging one of them… even he’s gun-shy sometimes.

So when I’m finding myself stuck, no approaching, or making excuses why I shouldn’t go approach her.

I break out the “corny” shit.

And it works.

This just went down yesterday:

In line, at Whole Foods, saw this AMAZING brunette in the line right next to mine. Prime-time Santa Monica Yoga hottie. 28-ish, perfect face, bangin body and an ass that don’t quit.

We caught eachothers eye and smiled but she was in the “10 Items or Less” line and I was behind a woman with about 4000 items in her cart.

No way I’d be able to catch her after checking out.

But she was either walking slow on purpose or some other force acted

“my friends are probably in the car laughing at me now, but whatever - I had to come and say hi to you or I’d be kicking myself all day…”

She ate it up, we chatted for about 2 minutes then I excused myself… and got her number on the way.

I went back to the car, told my friends what I said, and indeed, they laughed at me.

Until I showed them her number.

Haters Gonna Hate. Ballers Gonna Ball.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there are no bad “lines.” (or openers - whatever you’d like to call them.)

Only bad DELIVERY.

So don’t worry about the lines.

When a pre-written/canned line “works,” it wasn’t the line that did it.

It was what the line did to you.

You found it interesting and sticky, so when you delivered it, it was interesting and sticky.

You owned it.

Understand that. And you will rule all.
