advice WTF is this guy talking about?

I can think of plenty of other jobs that chicks would find more boring than domaining, insurance claims adjusters for instance as there's never anything new... besides another accident, of course. There are plenty of new and exciting things to do in domain name investing, and, well, if you can't relay that in an exciting way to a girl (or anyone else for that matter), then don't even try; chances are she'll be less enticed to hear anything else you have to say after that.

>Learn to talk to women (without lying)
>Learn to describe what you do in an interesting fashion, not only to women, but to everyone else as well. You're in sales, after all.
>Profit

But, realistically speaking, you shouldn't be in this for the women or as what it appears, a dating conversation ice breaker. You should be in it for yourself. Develop yourself both personally and professionally, and everything else will naturally fall into place.

"Buy and sell Internet real estate" and deal on a daily basis with cut-throat characters like briguy!

Just say you invest in internet related businesses and your specialty is domain names

You run an investment business. You invest in digital properties/ internet related technologies.

How do you explain to a chick what you do for a living as a domainer without making it sound like the most boring job on earth? How can you spin this to make it look interesting without boasting? Maybe i'll just pretend to be an architect...

Just show them how much you pay in renewals each month ,and let their minds do the rest ,unless they are blonds and you can just tell them your the facebook guy

Funny my day job is in the "boring" insurance field. If domaining was my full time gig, I would simply say "I'm a domain investor. I buy and sell internet domains similar to a real estate broker."

I agree with N-A's post. We are all in sales. Always be closing.

N-A said:

Am I referring to them directly? No. I referred to them as a group, indirectly. And, it's not a discriminatory term, either. But, you think I'd approach a girl, after that advice, and say, "you're a fine chick!"? Heh.

How about you let women AND the dictionary speak? Or you think you know better than women what can or can't be considered offensive for them?

First lesson I learned in my first formal sales training course: The ABC's.

Always Be Closing.

But, if you have a bad opening while prospecting... it's very hard to close. Work on your elevator pitch / 3 second pitch, etc., openers as you would, with girls... and you'll find the ABC's a little bit easier, much like with sales.

Good one ,but to close the deal ,let her know RE brokers make 4-6 percent domainers make 400-600 percent.

Sure, go ahead and push your politically correct agenda.

TOP DEFINITION

chick
The nicest way to refer to any female. Used respectfully like this in Australia. A completely non-derrogatory comment, that in general (most chick's I've talked to) is non-offensive to women and better than most alternative's.

Yes guys...but there are women too on this forum and I think it should be taken into consideration.
I am sure you understand.

Most people don't care about professions of other people unless they're rich or famous.

Why bother? Switch to new conversations that intrigue you both.

Best answer, IMO:

But I also got that "pick up artist" feeling by the way you posted this question.

Age is often asked as well.

Notice that if you personally ask older people 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, etc... years old the answers get more interesting each decade. Typically, they're not lame, and usually, get funnier as age passes.

Learn from that, and apply what I already said.

You'll be fine.

IMO it really doesn't matter what you're saying, it about what and how you tell with gesture and your whole presence.

In absence of a better example:
Mr George Clon.. may not need to say more than "Hi, I'm George" or whatever else nespresso told him to say
