I'm listening to Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets on audio right now. It's a good and insightful listen, and a good refresher, though not much different from what you'll already be familiar with if you're well-acquainted with the effects of happenstance on the world around you. Randomness and luck is an important topic when you talk about pick up and how to get lucky; it was the subject of one of the very first posts that ever went up on this blog, all the way back in December 2008: the brief "Randomness and Success," where I talked about another book I was reading at the time and the need for including quantity in your approach to meeting women.
Last night I had a discussion with a business partner of mine about the nature of randomness and its influence on success. "Surely, it isn't all randomness," she said. "Skill has a big part to do with it."
"That's true," I replied, "skill does have a lot to do with it. A lot depends on the time horizon you're looking at, however. If you're looking at how someone performs over the course of a single week, there's going to be a lot more random variation in there compared to how they perform over the course of a month, which will be a lot more random and less skill-based than how they perform over a year, and so on and so forth. The smaller the time horizon, the bigger the part randomness will play."

After the First Time with Her
Chase,
Do you have any advice or articles on how to continue the interaction after taking her to bed the first time? Regardless, if you want an actual relationship or just someone to have fun with - how should you proceed in keeping her around ...for a second, third or fourth round in the bedroom?

Good question! I wanted to
Good question! I wanted to know that too.
New article idea on getting rid of bad luck/dry spell
Hey chase, I think you could make a new article of what I need help with. First I just want to say thanks for all the good stuff Man I really appreciate it. But the problem I'm dealing with is like this black cloud/bad luck/dry spell with women. See I'm very confident and arrogant with my self and have no doubts women find me attractive and i can get them easy, Ive applied all of your techniques and they've helped but I can't get them into the bedroom I only can get attention from them and have them chase me to acknowledge them but that's about it. How can I get rid this bad luck/dry spell and sleep with more women? I know i deserve more than this and can do it. Thank you.
