why did he say 'this is gonna be easy' about the librarian?

in the movie, when he is in the library, he wants to pick up the first woman he sees.
he sees a shy-looking librarian girl and says "this is gonna be easy"

what did he mean?
how did he think she'd be easy?
what was it about her?

i am not a guy so i dont know.....

why did he think it'd be easy to pick up that girl in particular?
her shyness? wouldnt that make it harder? like she'd be too shy to go on a date with him?

i know some shy people who wouldnt be "easy" in fact they might be hard...they reject a lot of people and dont go past a certain point....

Okay I'm a girl but I believe he thought she'd be easy because she looks like a nerdy girl who wouldn't go out on any dates. So she would be totally thrilled to go out with a good looking guy like (Jerry). In other words is desperate to go out with a guy. So she would be easier to sweet talk and she would believe him.

i'm a guy and from our point of view that's exactly why he said it was gonna be easy because librarian's are stereotypically nerdy to-themselves people

i thought that it was easy, 'cause she was hot.
it's not going to be hard to "be with her".
but i may be incorrect

I don't think it's about being nerdy. He's assuming s he'll be naive and easily manipulated. He even said in the bathroom before coming out that he was going to manipulate the first girl he meets.

It's a joke that's about 50 years out of date. The idea of librarians being so geeky and bookish that no guy would give them the time of day went out of date around the time pornos started doing "sexy librarian" stuff back in the 1970s. These days the sexy librarian fetish is even a cliche.
