Okay, go up to most beautiful girl you see and grab by the face and be like Hello ladies, all right Hey Ben go think it Sorry, I'm sorry You know what I you know what usually works for me Complementing their like beautiful traits if a girl has like you know a beautiful mustache or like nice sideburns or even like a little bit Arm hair arm pit hair showing just be like hey, I like your armpit hair and it usually works all the time You're not joking. No, no 100% Hey How are you doing? You have like the prettiest armpit hair

4:05well, I Think you don't want to try too hard, you know You don't want to go over the top you don't want to walk down six street with your with your shirt off maybe you have to zero in a little bit on on your type and you know someone or something who you find a You know an innate energetic connection with you can you can communicate with you can be yourself with you can be relaxed with you know without without thinking too much and Being too self-conscious about the whole thing. I like that. So I'm looking for energy I like that end of day three saw some more great live music. Yeah, the love thing didn't work out as well That's okay. Maybe Woody's right. Maybe I'm just looking for energy
