Well now we can officially say it . . . Woman . . . they make no freakin sense.

[mikey_the_redneck]

Well.......I would say that being too nice and complimenting women are obvious big no-no's.....

[Suzles]

Ha! Made me laugh that men read these sort of things and actually believe them ...........

This article doesn't surprise me in any way. I would say we've all seen many examples of these.

1. Talking a lot can be annoying.

2. Every nice guy who has been through high school knows the girl always finds the guy who isn't head-over-heels in love with her more attractive.

3. If you can't dance well, it may be best to just not try.

4. Complimenting her is one thing, but an attractive girl at a bar is going to hear how sexy she is repeatedly throughout and evening and it's going to probably get annoying or creepy.

5. There's nice, and then there's nice. You hear so many stories of guys who are diabetes-inducing nice and it's just not appealing. A happy medium must be found.

6. Having a strange name is probably an odd thing to discriminate against, but you know what they say about first impressions.

Do the Fonzie thing where you just plant your feet in one place and snap your fingers once in a while.

"Hey baby, your stunningly average, but I'll be blunt, I've totally had sex with hotter woman then you."

That whole "too nice" thing is so true, and depending on your personality, takes awhile to figure out. When I was in HS and even a year or so removed I was definitely in this category. Tried to work my way out of it and I think went too far the other way, was too much of a dick for awhile. I finally found my groove around 21 or 22. It definitely takes a lot of practice. Girls are a whole different animal, that's for sure. I'm so glad I'm done with that whole bar pick-up scene.

[GreenLantern]

There is no good response to that statement, I think that is why girls don't like it.

Ya I know. -Wow what a bitch.

Oh well I am all done up its... you know... - Low self esteem, buy her another shot then ITS PLOWING TIME.

Really? You think so? -Sweet Jesus what is wrong with this girl.. she must have herpes, hit the eject button.

Sounds like the time I saw my buddy standing with three hot chicks and then point at me. The three girls proceeded to walk up to me and tell me that my buddy had told them I would buy them shots to which I replied "I don't buy shooters for average looking girls". They stormed away but ten minutes later we were at the bar and they were buying ME rounds of shots.

According to a study of 6,000 people, men named Michael, James and David are the clear winners, with all three placing in the top ten for Most Successful, Luckiest, and yes, Most Attractive names.

Well looks like I'll be using my middle name from now on. Boo yeah!

Haha wow, ballsy. That could've easily backfired, that's funny they were still on board after that. Talk about low self esteem. Back in my balls out clubbing days if a girl asked me to buy her a drink, I'd tell them that just because they asked, they're buying ME a shot. Usually they'd get huffy and walk away(which was awesome), but one chick just loved me for stonewalling her haha. She bought me a few drinks that night.

Girls that ask for shots are trash. Seriously, just wait for like a couple minutes and I'm sure the guy will offer to buy you a drink. I feel bad for the 18 year olds that get preyed on by chicks like that.

Sounds like the time a guy from my soccer team and I were at a bar in the states, and some hot girls were giving him attitude when he approached them. He told the 3 hottest women in the bar that they were fataing ugly, and walked away, leaving me in stitches. An hour or so later the 3 of them came up to us with some drinks as an apology for the attitude, and proceeded to be funny and enjoyable for the rest of the night.....

Doesn't work everytime, but it doesn't fail everytime either.

I've had some spectacular crash and burn situations that were unintentional. But back in the day, me and three of my friends would go to the bar and have a competition to see who could get rejected the most in the most spectacular and creative way. You could also only use a successful failure approach once.

going up to a woman and calling her a fat hog and getting slapped would get you zero points. Offering to buy her a drink and then bringing her a diet soda because she really should be worried about her cankles was worth points.

Acting like a loser was zero points. Introducing yourself as a semi successful independant aluminum siding sales person from Intercourse, NS was worth points.

Extra points were given for props and custumes. One friend of mine was actually really charming this girl, but when he went to pay for her drink he "Accidentallly" dropped a ball gag and a tube of KY jelly on the floor where everyone could see it.

It was a fun game, but you could never do it in the same bar twice.
