The Purpose Of Your Dating Practice Squad

In this episode of Coach Corey Wayne's podcast, the host addresses a listener named Bob who struggles with the concept of a 'practice squad' in dating—specifically, the idea of dating women he's not deeply interested in to build experience. Corey dismantles Bob's self-imposed narrative that he's only capable of dating 'ordinary' or unattractive women, exposing it as a self-fulfilling story born from inaction and social withdrawal. Drawing from his own vibrant past—where he was constantly social, working full-time, bartending, and attending events—Corey emphasizes that a rich dating life stems from an active, social lifestyle, not passive waiting. He argues that the practice squad isn't about settling for less, but about having multiple prospects to practice the skills from his book, 'Winning the Heart of the Woman of Your Dreams.' The real issue isn't the practice squad concept—it's Bob's lack of social engagement. Corey urges listeners to get out of their homes, join target-rich environments like Pilates classes or yacht clubs, and create momentum through consistent social participation. The episode culminates in a powerful call to action: you must participate in your own rescue, because no woman will come knock on your door if you're not even in the game.
