Whatever your opinions are of what Beaver Phillips espouses, one thing that can’t be denied: he has the confidence necessary in any good salesman. That doesn’t necessarily mean that what he’s selling is snake oil, however. While I have not read the book, what I’ve been able to ascertain so far is that he suggests some tried and true communication methods – and as I’ve said, he’s also not deceptive. He steers relationship-starter conversation toward what he’s looking for. I’m reminded of Bill Clinton. I believe he once told an interviewer that the secret to getting to know and develop relationships with women is listening. Anyone will respond if the other person takes a genuine interest in them. Listening (as opposed to guiding or suggesting ways to fix things) is at the heart of this. A man who cares enough about the woman he’s with to listen well will inevitably make a good impression. If the woman is looking for the same thing and both parties cut out the pretenses, the odds are good that that will be the result.

Almost makes it sound easy

But it isn’t. It takes time and dedication. Phillips puts it this way:

Guys, picking up a woman that you know nothing about is hard. Rejection is inevitable and that gets really old really fast. Enter a club or bar and chances are there will be women in there. No matter how good you might become at “picking up chicks” in bars ultimately what do you know about who you are picking up? Nothing! Going out to bars should be reserved for hanging out with friends, grabbing some drinks, and watching the game. Forget about subjecting yourself to rejection from average chicks and bar flies. Life is too short and can be a lot more fun!

Fear of rejection kills opportunity

That is what holds most people back in life. Beaver Phillips knows this, too, which is why he suggests certain communication tools to streamline the process. It won’t work with all women, that’s for sure. But it is focused and targeted, while also being honest. Honing the approach, using humor and recognizing the signs that it’s time to move on are his stock in trade.

The book retails for $30. That’s more expensive than this kind of information should be, I believe. Common sense and being a good listener go a long way. There are no payday loans or cash advance for that kind of thing. Be confident in who you are without being conceited, work to be well-rounded, add dashes of humor to your conversation style and don’t be afraid. That’s a tall order for some, but it’s worth the work. Beaver Phillips would tell you the same, but he’d charge you $30 first.

Everyone wants to meet that special someone. Sometimes, that someone is Mr. Right. Other times, that someone is Mr. Right Now. Substitute Ms. depending as suits your proclivities. Balancing your needs, desires and goals is the only true way for you to find out exactly what kind of a relationship is best for you. Whatever the answer, it definitely takes work (and money – payday loans or cash advance, anyone?)

Even then, it can be a daunting challenge. What would you think of someone who sums up his day’s work as follows: “I copy and paste E-mails to women on the Internet and I bang them.” Would you find it insensitive? Disgusting? Unbelievable? Admirable? That depends upon your perspective, standards and values. For Beaver Phillips, it’s a calling.

And he’s written a book about it

“Copy, Paste & Bang: A Man’s Guide To Meeting Women On the Internet and Having Sex With Them” is the title of the 37-year-old single guy’s book. It is billed as a “no fluff” guide to helping men achieve exactly what the title describes. Ignore the societal stigma for a moment and look at things from the perspective of having the greatest amount of safe, healthy fun in the shortest amount of time (the days we have to live). Then you’ll understand where Beaver Phillips is coming from, at least.

What kind of man does this? He has to be an alpha male, right? Not at all. Beaver Phillips describes himself as an “average guy” with “average looks, income and intelligence.” A guy who hangs with his buddies and appreciates everyday manly things, so to speak. A guy who knows how to find women and have sex with them.

He’s done the bar scene

Phillips knows what he wants and he isn’t deceptive about it. In the disclaimer to his book, he tells readers looking for advice on how to build a long-term relationship that this isn’t the place to find it. There are certain principles that will work in that arena, but his purpose is to guide readers toward quick results. His opinion is that online dating sites are the way to go, over the traditional bar scene. That’s too expensive and the chance for rejection is much higher. Phillips feels that online dating is more focused and the pool of potential matches is much larger. Reading profiles, exchanging a few important E-mails, making telephone contact then arranging to meet is a path that’s easier to navigate – and once you get the hang of it, you learn not how to manipulate the opposite sex, but how to be honest with yourself, let loose and have fun. Phillips’ intent is to help you find like-minded individuals.

George Clooney had the right idea when he dated a waitress. That could just be the way to end poverty.

A few days ago, as I was reading about one very wealthy person getting engaged to another very wealthy person, I came up with a solution to poverty. Unfortunately, it is a solution that only works mathematically, not realistically.

My idea is this: if rich people married poor people, the distribution of wealth would all even out. Of course, I am not saying that this should be mandated in any way, but it seems logical, doesn’t it. Unfortunately, it is not logical at all. But a girl can dream.

Running in different circles

Now, I must clarify that I am not advocating people should marry only for money, or for lack thereof. People should always marry for love. I am just saying that if the different “classes” of people intermingled a little more, there wouldn’t be so much poverty. If only people could turn to their significant others instead of personal loan companies, debt could be a thing of the past.

For instance, if Oprah were to magically fall in love with a homeless man, that would be one fewer person in the “poverty” category. Also, instead of growing her fortune by combing it with another rich person’s, Oprah would remain super wealthy and not become super-uber-mega wealthy.

Of course, real estate prices ensure that people of a certain income level are surrounded by their own kind. That’s the reason my grand scheme will never work. But there are other reasons, too.

Social stigma

In general, rich people and poor people tend to have different ideals. Rich people are often rich because they are willing to work at it. Some of them see poor people as lazy. Of course, these are pretty old-fashioned stereotypes.

Some people want to keep their incomes moderate to avoid becoming materialistic and the corruption they believe comes along with power. Some rich people simply don’t want to spend their money on supporting people who don’t make their own money. But, I think I have a solution to this.

Idea for online dating sites

Listen up, all of you entrepreneurs out there. I can see a cross-section out there of groups of people who might be interested in meeting each other. How about trust fund babies and lazy poor people? Match up the people who didn’t work for their money with people who just don’t want to work.

Then, of course, the inverse of that idea would be to match up people who worked hard for their money with hard workers who just couldn’t catch a break.

The tough thing about making this idea work is figuring out how to market it and orchestrate it so that you’d end up with the best results. But that’s for you to figure out. If you use my idea, though, you’d better give me a cut of your profits.
