13. Why Women are
ANNOYED by Average Guys
I have a question for you… What do you really want
when it comes to the area of your life called “Women
and Dating?” Could you explain it to me if I called you
up on the phone in 5 minutes and asked you? In other
words, do you really, really know just what it is that
you’re looking for?
If you’re like most guys that I talk to, you probably couldn’t tell me. Or if you did
tell me, it would be clear that you hadn’t taken any real time to think about it before
I asked you. Now, before I tell you why this is a problem, I have to confess something
to you…
It wasn’t very long ago that I used to be in exactly the same boat. I had no idea what
I was looking for. It was only after a lot of trial and error, dating crazy women that
made my life impossible, and chasing my tail that I finally figured out what it was that
I really wanted.
And once I figured it out, I realize that I wasn’t alone.
royal Feb / march’08 13
As it turns out, I think that most guys want what I want when it comes to “women
and dating“, but they just haven’t thought about it long enough to be able to say it. It
is quite obvious that majority of the men in this world crave for a lasting relationship
with a great woman.
What do I mean when I use the term “Great Woman“?
I mean a woman who is naturally beautiful, who takes care of herself physically,
who is emotionally and financially stable… who doesn’t “need” you, but “wants” you,
14. who can take care of herself in every
way.
But guess what? Women like this are
very rare. I mean like one in a thousand
or so. And they are never at a loss for a
date. I digress…but I’ll come back to this
later.
Earlier I mentioned that it is a problem
that men don’t know what they want.
Now I want to talk about why it’s such a
big problem.
There are two main reasons:
1. Not knowing what you want lowers
the chances of getting what you want.
2. In this particular situation, when
it comes to this type of woman, not
understanding what you want makes
your chances of getting her almost zero.
Let’s talk about these two issues.
Not Knowing What You Want
Lowers Your Chances Of Getting
It
If you’ve read any “self help” books
at all, then you know that it’s important
to set goals in your life. Why? Because
setting goals makes your mind work on
getting them.
When you are clear about your goals,
then it is so much easier for you to find
ways to achieve them. If you don’t know
what I’m talking about, go read Think

ondicherry - with grand boulevards and quiet promenades, its well-laid,
wide streets that still carry quaint sounding French names, its vista of
neatly cut fields lush with greenery, historical monuments that narrate
marvelous stories from a bygone era - is a photographers delight. The
city was the capital of French colonies in India and it came back to the Indian union
only in 1954.
The drive from Bangalore, where I live, to Pondicherry is about 280 Kilometers,
and the road is quite decent but not without the omnipresent potholes India is

in its remarkable ability to dictate trends
