30 Days to a better man<br />

A golf buddy. All it takes to make a potentially lasting connection is<br />

for us to open our mouth.<br />

2. Meet a potential mate. A man’s fear of talking to strangers can potentially<br />

prevent him from finding the love of his life. If you’ve been<br />

lamenting the fact that you can’t find any good women, then you’re<br />

not looking hard enough. Look around you. The woman in the produce<br />

aisle squeezing cantaloupes could be your future wife. That girl<br />

sitting next to you in Economics 101 could be your soulmate.<br />

There are women everywhere. You just need to go out there and<br />

meet them. No need to use creepy pickup lines, just be friendly and<br />

approachable, and you’re bound to meet someone with whom you’ll<br />

feel some sparks. I’m living proof of this benefit of talking to strangers.<br />

Because I was able to man up and strike up a conversation with a<br />

stranger, I met my wonderful and beautiful wife Kate.<br />

3. Expand your business network. You can’t network like a man if the<br />

only people you ever talk to are your mom and your cat, Mr. Peepers.<br />

While the prospect of talking to someone you don’t know from Adam<br />

might seem daunting, getting over this fear can be the difference<br />

between staying in a dead-end 9-5 job or landing your dream gig.<br />

If you can get in the habit of talking to strangers on a daily basis,<br />

you’ll be surprised where you might meet someone who can help you<br />

advance your career.<br />

4. Increase your social skills. If you wish to go far in life, you need to<br />

hone your social skills. This doesn’t mean you have to be the man that<br />

works the room like an insurance salesman. You’ll probably just annoy<br />

people if you do that. But let’s face it, most success in life, whether it’s<br />

in business or love, depends on our ability to interact with other people.<br />

Just like any other skill, our ability to interact with others improves<br />

the more we practice. Talking with strangers on a daily basis, provides<br />

you ample opportunity to fine tune and hone your social skills.<br />
