One just never knows. I once told a much younger woman that I thought she was funny. It was a sincere comment, with no sexual intent, as it never crossed my mind that she would ever want to sleep with someone 16 years her senior. Boy, was I wrong. ---

For most women, it would have to be “After 10pm, I magically change into a much more attractive individual”. ---

This line would probably work on me from others (although by far it’d be more important who says it): “You are attractive, funny, smart, and incredible. I have to let you see me naked.” This line seems to work for me on others: “I’m sorry; I have a girlfriend.” ---

It’s not what you say, it’s who you say it to. There are women who seek the exact same situation you do, so instead of wasting your time trying to convince anyone, try to identify them. ---
