No seduction techniques, but in my pre-married incarnation I would most often score with women I made laugh - not trying to, women can pick up on these things - but if they clicked into my weird sense of humour, I {or she, depending on how you look at it} was half-way there. Forget the cheesy pick-up lines, thereā€™s no magic formula for all women - some you just click with, some you donā€™t. ---

All I can say is that liberal amounts of alcohol make any seduction attempt much easier. ---

hahaha Gum! I gotta try that one sometime! Hey but its not that hard, I think. First you have to make her feel good around you and make her laugh. A lot of guys think that girls fall for guys who show personality and are dark, etc, and sure there may be some masochists around there that want someone to experience their misery with, but most people who like being happy want to be around someone who makes her happy. So, the key is by making her happy. I tend to do this depending on the type of girl Iā€™m with. You gotta know a little bit of her personality and see what it is that she likes. Not rocket scientist. One time I got laid because I invited a girl to come play on a playground made for kids walking home. It worked like a charm because she really likes that kind of spontenaity. Spontenaity can be a really good thing too. I mean if she doesnā€™t know what to expect but it always makes her happy then its really a win/win situation. > [@](#): > > 1. Youā€™re not like other women. > > 2. You really light up the room. > > 3. Iā€™ve never felt this way before. Iā€™ll buy this, but only if the girl is looking for future mate from the start. You can make her know that you feel these things, but not so overtly, or else it may do you harmā€¦ But yeah, you just gotta make her feel good being with you and possibly look forward to talking with and seeing you. But seducing a girl in spite of herself? Thatā€™s very difficult. The girl has to be in a good mood to begin with, but bonus points if you cheer her up somehow without her thinking that you only want sex. But if she just wants someone to want to have sex with her then its good. But I will certainly say that this isnā€™t normally a problem for a girl, as they have people wanting to have sex with them on a daily basis. Thatā€™s one thing that a lot of guys donā€™t realize, I suppose. They pick the girl they like the best and try to win her over, but its not a good way to do it. You pick the girls that look the most open to you and try to see how each respond. Thereā€™s a website called [Fast Seduction](http://www.fastseduction.com) where there is basically a ā€œplayer guideā€ that tells you a lot about this stuff that a lot of guys should know. Of course the goal for these guys is to basically fuck as many girls as possible. It takes a pretty macho approach to the ā€œconquestā€ but I have read a lot of things there that helped me out when I was the most clueless of hopeless dudes. These guys study this like a science, and although a lot of their aims arenā€™t what I would consider mine, I think a lot of thier ā€œfield researchā€ would be helpful if taken into context. But they do have a lot of things I donā€™t agree with like, ā€œone-itisā€ That is being caught up on a single girl, and not wanting someone else. I think thatā€™s called being in love, and is a natural thing that offers more benefits than a soulless quest to bed as many women and inflate your ego. I think a relationship with a special girl is more enriching than a string of pointless sex. ---

Personally, if say, Iā€™m out at a bar, Iā€™ll just be minding my own business, drinking my beer, and Iā€™ll catch the eye of some comely lass, weā€™ll play the cat-and-mouse game for a few minutes, Iā€™ll look at her, and look away.

Humor. Humor. Humor. Women love to be psyched out, too. The first time my current SO came to my apartment (over a year ago), I walked her to the door, opened it and let her walk out first and then quickly said ā€œbye!ā€ and shut the door. When I opened the door after a grueling three seconds and she was staring in shock, then began to laugh, I knew she was mine.
