I saw this on a Reddit post today and love the concept. I think something that hinders a lot of guys with girls is the ability to put them selves out there, whether it be AA or opening up on a date. The Ulysses Bucket List is created by asking the following question:
“Tell me something you have done, or want to do, that you think I should do? It can be anything, as challenging as you want it to be, or as easy. As long as you give me the rest of my life to complete it, I promise I will do it..” The girl that prompted the question to him have him the task of reading the book Ulysses, apparently one of the hardest novels in the world to finish.
Some of the things it led to were the following:
"- I met a man in India 9 years ago who told me to, for a week or a month, cook/buy twice as much food as I intend on eating, and give the other half to a stranger in need. I completed that mission 8 years ago, and thought about that man and the time we had all the way through.
- I met a girl on a cruise 6 years ago, who told me to jump into a body of water on a slightly cold day, without touching or feeling the temperature of the water first. I did that the very same year.
- I met a couple at an outdoor music festival a few years ago that told me to wear the most bizarre outfit imaginable and walk through a public place, completely oblivious to the fact that you aren’t looking normal. I did that task the very next day, at the same festival.
- Some have been difficult, to say the least: three guys I met in Amsterdam and smoked all night with, told me to go to a mall and give 10 strangers 10 presents. -
- That one took a lot of courage, but I did it a year or so after I met them. It was nerve racking, but at the same time exhilerating leaving my comfort zone.
- A girl I met on a plane told me to sky dive; Im still in the process of getting that done.
- A couple I met in Cali on the beach told me to tell the 5 people I hated the most, that I love them and respect them. That one was very difficult because of my stubborness, but ive come close to completing that list many a times(still in the process, 2 more people to go)."
Not only do these kind of experiences take you out of your comfort zone, they also give you endless stories and that make for a great and interesting conversation. For me, if I had to answer that for someone it would be the following: Take an improv class.
Anyway, thought this might give the motivation to some people on here to start doing the same thing. I know I am going to.
