Had to give you some shit on that one. :D

Californication...:shake:

there's about 1 or 2 people in this thread that have any idea what they're talking about.

i think dane is about the closest to 100% truth. the rest sound like guys that think they can instantly "turn on" this p**sy getting persona. whatever. the whole "hard to get" shtick works the best on impressionable 18-22 year old girls. if that's what you want, go for it.

here's my recipe for good ole fashioned charm.
1. get yourself some new clothes.
2. shave for gods sake.
3. when a female talks, actually LISTEN.
4. straight from dane - don't talk, think, etc about your ex AT ALL.
5. don't be clingy, that's the kiss of death right there.
6. last one, this is important. be passionate about something other than message boards and comic books. that way when you're pursuing your passion, whether it be golf or NASCAR, odds are you'll meet a woman that will share the same passion.

you can listen to me or not, but i'm not the best looking guy in the world and i've had some SMASHING success, including my current wife. hell yeah, i married WAY up.

I know this to be true! His wife is way hotter than he is :D

I would concur with phish and dane.

If you have a favorite bar that you went to while you were married you are going to have to find a new bar.

I always took the johnny appleseed approach when I was socializing. I would move around the area talking to each group of ladies or single lady I found attractive for a few minutes and then politely excuse myself and move on.
Remember to be a shark and keep moving. the more people you talk to the more seeds you plant. I would always approach it as friendship to begin with
the person you talk to may not be attracted to you but may have a friend that would be. Once you have made the rounds go back in and drop by for more conversation if the first round was positive. Try to remember something from the previous conversation and weave that into the new thread. You are working percentages here if you talk to 10 you may get 5 phone numbers. If you get 5 phone number you might get laid 2 times (if that is all you want).
I prefer the long con, go on 5 dates or social outings and work all five angles.

To do this you have to have confidence (this is coming from a short fat guy)
If you are going to talk to a group of ladies talk to all of them and listen to all of them.

Observe your targets before you approach. Do not stare but look for openings
to conversations. If you are going to compliment leave body parts out of it (including hair and eyes) Earrings, Jewelry and perfume are good ones.

You need to cultivate relationships with 2-3 bartenders at a variety of bars (dive, upscale, dance club) Find a variety of good restaurants (sushi, chinese , mexican(traditional), italian, steakhouse etc.) get to know them and their manager and chefs.

Keep up with what is going on in the local art and theater

I would highly recommend volunteering at a local charity when you have time.

Be passionate about something and know a little bit about everything.

The most important is to listen and respond intelligently.

I would ask them about themselves and not talk about myself unless asked.

It has worked well for me. I have never been afraid to approach anyone because I new I only had friendship on my mind. I have been very fortunate to have shared time with some truly exquisite women.

I've heard that ChiefsPlanet is a great place to meet hot chicks. :shrug:

Any gal worth her salt, or yours for that matter isn't going to go for any "games" or "schtick". Be yourself man. Would you want to hang with a chick that gave you some schtick and then when you started to like her she was someone different? If they dont fall for who you are normally, then they can take a hike. Now, if you just want a good piece of arse, that is a different story. Tell them you are the guy they made the move "breast men" about. You still work, but only on special cases. You'll get laid.

Dude if you are trying to just get laid go to the bar and find the local bar fly and stand in line. If you are wanting to meet someone worth a shit I would suggest going to Bally's specifically in the evening around 7-9 pm. There are a lot of single women there then and obviously they give a shit about themselves. Also they have friends. So make friends with the girls at the gym, make friends with the friends of the girls at the gym and meet someone you might actually like sober. Just my .02.

My wife worked at a bank in a grocery store and I just went up and gave her my number not wanting to bother her. After that just be a man, not a guy and not a dick and things will be okie dokie!

Unless you get some girl you were friends with before you always have to play some sort of game. Woman call that romance. I call it alot of work, but you have to do it.

if you don't know before hand take whatever I say with a grain a salt. I talk to myself
