Money Can’t Buy You Love
The other night I saw a young man buy a flower on the street and give it to a random girl. The girl looked at the flower, said, “Thank you!”
He tried talking to her, and she gave him a little attention, and then passed the flower to her girlfriend. The girlfriend shrieked and put the flower in her hair. Then the girlfriend grabbed the first girl and dragged her away from the player and took her into the club. He was left standing there, five dollars poorer and not even a phone number to show for it.
I pointed this out to my students and we had a good laugh. Then I took them to a tree, grabbed a branch, pulled it down and plucked three browning, ragged, hole-covered leaves.
“This is a beautiful flower. Go give it to a girl.” I told them. And off they went.
The first student walked up to a girl and held out the leaf. She laughed, took the ugly leaf and said, “Oh my gawd! Thank you! You’re so sweet!”
My student, like I taught him, turned his face and pointed at his cheek, she leaned in and kissed it.
The other student went up to a group of girls and offered one his ugly ass leaf. All the girls went, “Awwwwww!!!! Hahahahaha!” And of course, they loved it.
Once I was in a bar watching a live band. Across the room were five women. In order to meet them I would have to approach in front of the entire room. The bartender advised me to buy them a round of shots.
“Well that’s expensive.” I said.
So I walked across the bar, approached their table and said, “Ladies, a round of shots, compliments of the house.”
I then “mimed” pouring shots for every girl. The girls laughed. We then improve acted cheersing and drinking the shots. They loved it and I was in.
Sometimes a little creativity will get you further than a lot of money.
Your mind, your ability to make something out of nothing, says more about who you are than your possessions, your muscles, and your status.
If something is in your way, or you have a problem, instead of buying your solution, use your environment to solve it. This is what separates you from the common Muggle. This is the path to wealth.

Lol this is sooo ironic. I bought this babe a rose last weekend, outside the bar, worked great for me but i messed up real bad! Ill give u details this weekend.
One time I had a dinner with a girl and thought it went great (in my mind), since she worked at the place we got it for free. So I had the idea of buying a necklace for her, not cheap. Turns out she started flaking and making excuses for a second date and I never had the chance to give the thing to her. Now I keep it in a drawer, as a reminder of my beta past, of how much I improved.
I must try that sometime, doing something nice for a woman & then turning my head & tapping on my cheek! By the way Tony there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you for months. A few months ago you & Ryan had us all meet at the bar. “Relish” on Nelson st. Anyways, you sat with a very cute blonde, 8.5 – 10, maybe a 10 for sure , as I recall , I would definately say “I do” to her. You sat with her a long time in that noisy bar. What did you talk about ? How did you keep her interested for such a long time? Truly, if you can keep a woman you just met in a noisy bar happily sitting close to you hrs. on end than you definately have some answers! That was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my life. It befuddles me how it’s possible to do such a thing. Like, what do you talk about with someone , never mind a women (way harder ),you just met ?! Loud noise factor included pls.
Gift of the gab? A talent I’ll never have? I should mail order bride (if I had money)? Women over 48 only? I’m totally perplexed how you did it. You two were talking , a pleasant engaging convo. Thank you, Tony.
Wow, I’m a 10? You’re really sweet 😉
