I’m Back!!!

Ok…

I’m back. I know some of you were probably wondering what I was up to. I just needed time to get settled back in. There are some blogs that I follow. I’m usually upset when I can’t get new info from them as well. Hopefully, you all have been using this time to practice what you know though.

I know there are a few questions that many of you are curious about…so I’ll answer them first.

1. What were you doing in Argentina?

The company I work for employs many Hispanics. They subsidized my trip if I would go practice my Spanish, so I went.

2. What did you do while you were in Argentina?

Study the language and try to get well (I was sick 3 and a half of the 5 weeks I was there).
Sidebar:

They have a pretty good healthcare system there.


3. What are the women like?

They’re cool. Not as exotic as you’d think really. 95% of them look very European (white) with dark brown hair (brunettes). Men are real real aggressive when it comes to women, i.e. excessive grabbing and cat-calling, so the women are real defensive.

4. Did you get with any of the women there?

Yes and no. More no honestly ;) The last week was really my only healthy week…and I went for broke. 8 close calls, but I didn’t fully close any of them. Only one was an Argentine. Colleagues were easier to deal with because we spoke the same language (and I could run my material). The language barrier was hard for me because I depend on it so much on talking to display my value.
Long story short…I haven’t done that much making out since Junior High.

5. What did you learn?

A lot. I realized a lot of things while I was down there about social interactions. How to work a social circle was one of them. There were so many people there who had to deal with each other for a month.

I plan to talk about this more in the future. Don’t worry…I’m not converting or anything. Cold approach is what we’re here for, but expect a post or two about it.

Tonight (Thursday) I’m going out. Expect a report this weekend about it. Also, I’ll share one story from Argentina.

Play The Game Fair,
