Take a risk, Nick!

I don’t think enough people ask this question. Thank you for posing it. When it comes to food, I’m all about “when in Rome,” but when it comes to a mate, I think it’s so important to know what you like, and not stray or settle just because you don’t see it on the buffet table.

In college, my little sister and I lived together. We often talked about why we did things. After realizing we were each going through boys cyclically, somewhat in time with the semester course schedules, we developed what we called our ‘Relative 10′ theory. Every time we got a new batch of classes, a new batch of guys, we’d survey, find the best candidate, and focus in. Like I said, not a conscious strategy, but fairly obvious upon reflection.

After the revelation, we’d always ask each other before a date, “Is he a 10, or a relative 10?” It’s surprising how often, if you’re honest, the answer is the latter. And that’s not fair to either party.

But I could be wrong. I’ve been known to be, relatively speaking.

Thanks, Seth. Rockin’ post.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand.

Seth, you were on the money. Take the risk, make the effort and spark desire. We miss EVERY shot we don’t take.

Good luck.
