Hey guys, welcome to episode 4 of Tripp's Tips. Today we're talking about a very important topic
that I give a lot of advice on. It's about persistence. What I'll be talking about today
is why persistence is so important when it comes to meeting women and socializing. What
is persistence? Persistence, in my eyes, is not giving up and following through with all of your
actions. The thing about acquiring skills to be good at socializing and dating and approaching and
attraction is all about not giving up. It's all about going out, night after night if you have to,
day after day, and keep on failing and failing until you succeed. This is persistence. What I
want to do today is go over two main examples of using persistence when you're trying to get a date
with a woman. Let's say you see this woman at a bar or at a party. Here's your first step – one,
you have to approach. You have to start a conversation with them. But sometimes when you
start conversation, they might not be that excited to talk to you at first. They might be like, who's
this guy? What does he have to say? Because maybe this is a girl that's been approached a million
times by a million other guys. She's waiting for you to prove that you're awesome. A lot of
this comes in the form of persistence. Don't get scared when all of a sudden you approach her and
you say your opening line and she doesn't look impressed. The whole key is to not give up and
keep going. Basically, the only time you should ever be giving up in an approach is when a girl is
giving you terrible body language, that means that her back is turned towards you. Or she literally
says to you, please go away, or goodbye, or get the hell out of here. At that point, I would say,
your chances are probably very slim and she's completely rejecting you. But if you're not
getting those signals yet, stay in conversation, be persistent. I can't tell you how many times
that I've been in a situation where I've been talking to a girl and for the first half of the
conversation, she is totally uninterested in what I'm saying. But for some reason,
I'm still there... and I'm persisting... and I continue to show her that I'm an awesome guy and
that I'm not going to give up. And then by the end of it, I'm taking her out on the date. Next step
chronologically, is if you end up meeting a girl and everything goes great and you end up getting
her number, or you end up getting her email or Facebook, and you throw out your first contact,
whether it's a voicemail or text message, or whatever, and she doesn't respond. A lot of
guys will totally give up at this point because she hasn't responded so that must mean that she's
not interested. That is absolutely not true, at least not yet. What you have to do is you have to
persist. Now, there's a borderline creepy effect here. You don't want to persist in the sense that
you're gonna call her and then call her the next day and then call her the next day and
then send her a text the next day. At this point, she's probably creeped out by you. But there's a
smooth process in order to do this. What you want to do is instead of calling her every single day,
you give it a little bit of time. You call her, she doesn't answer, leave a voicemail. Try texting
her a week later. Doesn't respond, try texting her another week later. And even if then she doesn't
respond, it sounds crazy, but try one more time, maybe even another call. There is a great chance
that she may have lost her phone, there's a chance that she has just been in a terrible
mood and the past couple weeks have been busy so she's been putting you off. But finally, by that
second or third text message or third call that's been spread out week by week, she's ready to talk
to you. But if she's not responding to anything by the third or fourth time, you can pretty much
assume that she has no interest in you. But there has been a million times where I have tried to
call or tried to text a girl and nothing's happened. But by the second or third time,
I've gotten a response. That is persistence. And remember, like I said, the whole thing is about
keeping it smooth, and not being that creep ball. Guys, thanks for checking out episode four talking
