A couple of points -

Crothian is busy (as is Alsih2o, Cthulhu's Librarian, Teflon Billy, and PirateCat) all reading books for the Ennie awards.

Secondly, Escort services are legitimiate services. I had a friend (a girl) who did this for a time. Apparently even went to Europe with some guy. Now, most people will tell you that being an escort is just a legitimate way of becoming a prostitute. But I like to think that you can be an escort and not have sex with your client. I'm sure many of them do that. Businessman will sometimes hire them for business dinners, if they are single. So, it's a perfectly legitimate service. No, I've never hired one.

Frukathka, if you wanted to, you could hire an escort, take her out for the evening like a regular date, and then have her give you some candid advice on any vibes she's getting from you. That is, if you don't have any other female friend that can do this for you. Alternatively, it might help you become less anxious around women. I think for a long time I came across as too needy towards, women, and then once I met my wife, and I lost that, I was constantly seeing all these women that I could have gone up to and struck up a conversation with. I would never have thought of doing that before when I was scared. So, I think fear can play a large role in that. You just have to see women as people, and not as women. I can't describe it as any other way.

My psychology professor in college told us a story about his friend in college. He would approach random women and ask "Do you want to f*ck?" His friend swore that 1 out of 10 would say yes. I had a tagline once that read "Nice shoes, wanna f*ck?" And a female friend of mine confessed that that probably would have worked on her at one time.

believe it or not, i met my wife when i finally realized (after banging my head against the wall enough times) that i could be happy without being in a relationship. :)

of course, i decided that being happy in a relationship was better than being happy without one. ;)
Same here. I had come off a relationship and just gotten over it and decided I didn't need anyone in my life. On the day I became an Uncle I was at work and in a great mood. All happy, smiley and jokey. In walks my wife to be a. Some one who I know and comes in to the bar about once a week. She notices me for the first time as more than just a manager and now this October we'll have been married for 3 years. :)

Back in the day, before AIDS was such a scary spectre, I can back this claim up.

Ah but he isn't interested in a physical relationship, he'ld have to go up and say something like "Do you want to have a meaningful relationship?" and considerable less than 1 in 10 women say yes to that.

Yeah, he's one of those guys who try to sound all cool and smart by using big words.

Technically putting a bunch of extra "a"s and "n"s in "and" doesn't make it a big word. :cool:
 

After I got married, I was amazed to finally notice the women who flirted with me. I say finally because, until I met my future wife, I was pretty shy with women. I think it boils down to one thing: confidence. If you have confidence in yourself, women see that and are more likely to pay attention to you. Also, as others have said, if you step back stop looking for relationships, they usually will find you. So when you meet a pretty girl, instead of thinking "I wonder if I could have a relationship with her" you should think "She's nice; I'd like to get to know her better" and let the relationship form naturally.

And while I don't agree with everything ron burgundy has said, I do agree that it shouldn't matter what you look like, shouldn't being the operative word, in order to attract women. I've seen some ugly dudes who some very beautiful women fawned over. :)
 


A woman's needs can be boiled down to three basic things:

Things that smell good
Small bright shiny objects
Shoes
:D
Remember this and you're golden.

I would add things that are soft to this list. Like teddy bears, and bunnies, and kittens... :)
