Male dopers, what are your most effective seduction techiques? Spill!

Huh.

I always started out by not trying to seduce them. Instead, I was just myself, and got to know them. Produced mutually pleasing results almost as often as I wanted.

'Course, I’ve been off the market for quite a while, and have no idea how that’d play, any more - I’m crankier and less social these days.

Second only to “It puts the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again.”

Walk up to the most beautiful woman in the bar, stare deeply and soulfully into her eyes, then say, “Baby, you look so good I’d bang you in front of my wife’s attorney.”

Oh, you want effective seduction techniques. Never mind then. That one’s never worked.

Be a musician. It helps. Write songs. Not necessarily about her, but if she thinks you can write about her, she’ll wanna find out.

And people are still confused about how Woody Allen is somehow considered a ladies’ man.

I watched The Front for the first time recently. It’s set in the 1950s and stars Woody as a somewhat opportunistic guy whose blacklisted writer friend proposes that for a cut of the sale Woody claim credit for the writer’s scripts because the writer’s name is verboten in the McCarthyist climate of the time. There’s a scene about halfway through wherein Woody is pitching himself to a representative of the television show buying the scripts; she’s an attractive woman. Watch this scene, and suddenly you realize how Woody is so successful as a seducer: He’s witty, and he’s focused completely on her. He’s making her feel like not just the most important and interesting person in the room, but possibly in the city.

Yeah, it’s just a movie, and he’s playing a scene as written. But it’s clear that he’s brought a lot of himself and his own approach to the character and to the scene, and you suddenly understand why women respond to him. (Or at least did, before he started to resemble a freeze-dried dogfish.)

Ain’t that the truth!

Again, its all about making them feel good. If you are up on a stage singing your own songs and they like them its the same effect of making them feel good through laughter. If you show interest in her, it will let her know that she is special because so many girls like you!

I am not a musician, but I can easily see how they get so many girls.

yep. when they see the passion you put into playing your own songs, especially out in a club or bar or theatre…when there’s other girls watching…they wanna see what makes you tick…and if you can get them to laugh, you’re golden!

Easy: shave them off and keep them in your pocket.

Sit at the bar, and try to look cute.

It helps if you can pull off the whole brooding thing.
:smiley:
Well, thats why I do anyway. I’m shy. I sit there, hoping the girls will come over, unable to resist my magnetic charm. Of course, this has not worked yet. But I remain optimistic…

I usually get drunk and start yelling at women. If that doesn’t work I go home and lick my eyebrows.

In my experience I’ve had way more luck with humor, and acting ‘natural’ than with any canned approach/technique.

There have been a few times when I felt a “wow, this girl is crazy about me” vibe after talking for only a few minutes, and in those cases, in addition to being funny, I was also trying to give mixed messages to her as to whether or not I liked her…in a playful, funny way. That seems to drive them crazy.

Yep. I’d guess having a tongue long enough to reach your eyebrows is a pretty effective seduction technique.

-Wear a wedding ring.
-Have a big fluffy, friendly sheepdog on a leash.
-Have your adorable four-year-old son in you presence.

Any combination of these absolutely guarantees a woman’s interest in me.
All three, and I’ve got to fend them off with a stick.

If I take my son and sheepdog to the pet store, I could be there all day collecting phone numbers.

OK, serious and authentic answer.

I don’t have any seduction techniques. That’s your department, you female folks. You have the edge so you make it happen at times and places that appeal to you. It has never seriously occurred to me that I would be in control of the process.

Getting women to laugh has never been a problem for me. Getting them to stop, however…

I feel oddly stirred by this. :slight_smile:

Heh. If I’d been so inclined, I could have bedded more women in the six months after my marriage than in the two years prior to getting engaged. I wonder what that says about people.

It says you’re safe to flirt with. I’ve noticed this too. When I want 'em, they won’t come near me; when I can’t have 'em, they dangle their forbidden fruit before me with sick, sadistic delight.

Women want our attention. They want our slavish admiration. I’m damn close to saying they expect it, and will actively seek it when it’s not offered on a tray. But wait, you thought all this friendliness might lead to sex or something? Why, you pig!

So, yeah, go pick on the pathetic married guy. Watch him squirm. Fun!
