Flight Attendant Interview

Yesterday, I went to an interview for flight attendants. There were more than 300 interviewees spread into 3 time slots (0915, 1000, and 1045). My god, the last time I've been surrounded with so many beautiful women was back in 2005 at Toronto BR! I was in the 1000 time slot (100+ interviewees), whether there were more groups of women was beyond me.

The first round consisted of a short video and arm reach test. You had to be able to reach 208 cm with one arm without shoes. Standing on tip toes was allowed. Only one person was disqualified in my time slot. The second round consisted of 3 parts. The first part was a 1-minute introduction of the person beside you. The second part was a small group discussion and presentation of for some stupid 5-star hotel. The third part was a large group discussion about the same lame topic.

I was knocked-out after the third part of the second round, as was 90-95% of the others. But it was all right, I talked with 4 women during the interview, 3 women while waiting for the bus, and 1 woman on the bus ride. A total of 8 pretty flight attendant wannabes and I initiated conversation with 5 them. What a record. Now if I keep that up with 2 of the women down at my clubhouse, that'll be sweet.

In My Mind

Yesterday, I made a bold move. After watching a movie with a friend, I was riding the elevator up to the podium of my apartment. When the elevator opened, I literally bumped into a female clubhouse worker, the one I had a crush on for about half a year. Her co-workers just stared at us for a couple of seconds. I just stood there too, not knowing what to say to her cool facial expression. Then she went into the elevator by herself and the door started to close. Before it could close all the way though, I stuck my forearm into the gap and the elevator jammed open. I couldn't believe I did that, but I used the momentum to walk inside and to close the door. Now it was her turn to drop her jaw. It was always tough talking with her. Knowing that this was pretty much the best chance available, I tried my best. I told her to smile more from now on if she sees me in the clubhouse because that'll make it easier for me to talk to her. I said I was attracted to her, but that I wanted to know her more too. Then she smiled and kissed me. I slid my tongue over. She didn't reject it. So I stuck it down her throat. Of course, that whole event happened in my mind.

Taking The Plunge

Almost three months of blogging and I still haven't went anywhere, with women or anything. But I have realized two important things: always have a positive mental attitude (PMA) and use the low threshold approach (LTA). What's LTA? The LTA states that you should never compare today's performance regarding women with yesterday's performance. In fact, you should state an easily achievable goal. For example, if you talked with 3 random women yesterday, don't push yourself to talk with 5 today. Not only is it too much stress, but more importantly, you'll feel bad if you can't achieve the threshold. This will lower your PMA, which will directly lower your success or confidence with women. So, whenever you approach women, don't expect anything good to come out of it, always stay positive, and be ready to take the plunge, like marines who jump out of the V-22 Osprey (pictured).

I Wanna Ride Like A Silver Dove

I've been watching another Japanese television show every Saturday night at 11pm. Aren't there a lot of those lately? It's called Good Luck!! and it shows the adventures of a new co-pilot on All Nippon Airways, the up's and down's of being a pilot on-the-job. After some research, I think I'll probably book a Trial Introductory Flight aboard the C152 for $2471. Not bad for one hour of flying experience. At least I can see if I want to pilot or be a passenger of a plane. Now, the only downside of this is that the C152 can only carry two people, the flight instructor and I. There's no room for female guests.

Never Doubt Your Ability

This is the phrase I'll chant to myself every time I approach a woman. My lack of experience in the dating department is no excuse for me to get scared anymore.

P.S. "Never doubt your ability," is a line from a love movie I watched yesterday.

Won't Go On Vicariously Again

I watched quite a bit of DVDs this week: Zombieland, The Ugly Truth, and some other Japanese television show called Operation Love. Let me talk about Zombieland first. It's a fun movie, but let me focus on the most important thing here. Emma Stone, the lead actress, was absolutely the sexiest woman I've ever seen! Her personality, reflected in her body language, was mesmerizing. Her green eyes, the twitch in her hips, and the way she bends her neck enabled her to score a perfect 10 on the sex-o-meter! It would be nice if there were women like that in Hong Kong. Sadly, there aren't, and I'll have to deal with it.

Now let me talk a bit about the first date scene in The Ugly Truth. When the man asked the waiter for some bottled water, the woman immediately insisted that he get tap water instead because it's filtered and just as clean and that he could save seven dollars. The man, obviously annoyed, insisted with the bottled water and ordered an extra Scotch on the rocks. He got so annoyed, he needed some whiskey to cool off. The woman then took out a printed copy of his online profile and said she thought he liked to drink red wine. Then she said, "Kudos to your insurance plan. Nope, it's not on your profile, but it's on your background check." The man had nothing to say, he wanted to leave on the spot but, being a gentlemen, waited a bit longer until the food arrived. He then grabbed the same waiter, handed him his credit card, and told him that if he could have his bill and car ready in 30 seconds, that he'll give him a 40 percent tip. In the next scene, the man jumped into his convertible, but the woman was right behind him. As if she hadn't been crazy enough, she accidentally spilled the ravioli over his lap. But the guy was actually the one with the last laugh as he caught her dress in his door and ripped her dress apart as he drove away. This movie shows us exactly what to avoid on a first date.

Operation Love revolves around a guy who's attending his former lover's wedding. For 14 years, he wanted to ask her out on a date but never had the courage to. But during the wedding, a ghost appeared and allowed the guy to go back in time to rectify certain key events, so that he might turn out to be the one marrying her. So far, he's traveled back seven times, sometimes being able to change things around, sometimes not. The eighth episode will show on Sunday, March 21, 2010.

Is Physical Attraction Important?

I finally saw some additional photos of the online girl and discovered that her looks aren't what I originally expected. I don't want to seem shallow, but shouldn't there be at least some physical attraction if I am to progress further? Or are all women the same and that the only determining factor for their looks is their skill with makeup? Part of me tells me to continue trying to date her in order to gain experience and confidence with women. But the other part of me tells me not to hurt her anymore than I already have. I stood her up once and argued with her thrice. I don't think a future inevitable breakup will do her any good. I'm not saying that I'll abandon all future contact with her. I'll continue having her as a good friend, it's just that the feeling might not be there anymore.

Butterflies In The Stomach?

I just sent out the SOS SMS. What is this feeling? Could it be butterflies in the stomach?

It's Great Being A Guy

I finally realized the super advantage of being a guy. It's that I can actively choose which girls to approach and how to approach. For a woman, all she can do is wait and hope that someone will fall for her. She's at a super disadvantage if her looks are below par. But even during the dating process, a man can call it off anytime, while the woman can only sit there, watching as the man leaves, not being able to initiate a phone call. That's not a good feeling, I think. Only if they're willing to bend the dating guidelines will they have a chance.

Being a man is great. Not only do you get a stick instead of a hole, but you can also actively control your destiny.

P.S. I think I know the reason why not many people are commenting on this blog. Because guys aren't comfortable letting other people know that they're looking into this topic. Well, if that's you, I just wanted to mention that you can post a comment anonymously. The reason why I want you guys to comment is because I don't have a counter on this page and I'm not sure if I have that many readers. If there aren't enough, I'll try to improve the quality of my content.

The Day Before Yesterday

On the day before yesterday, I screwed up big time on an MSN conversation with the online girl. I asked her if she's free to come out sometime this week. She said her schedule's packed. I thought that was some sort of polite rejection and knowing that I was rejected, I said that I didn't HAVE to meet her, that she looked like a hippo anyways. Then a volley of negative comments enraged. But the thing is... I still want to meet up with her. I'm not sure why, I just know. Now I'm comtemplating on an SOS SMS. Hope it'll work out.
