And the whiniest one is actually a nurse. Yeah, guys hate nurses.

What really struck me though is that there is a whole bunch of them that have decided to move to the States to "find a man". That sets off all sorts of alarm bells.

A crowd of decent lookin' chicks in their 20's and not one of them can get a boyfriend? There is something wrong here with these people.

If I knew of a crew of 27-year-old guys who felt they had to leave the country to find a girlfriend I'd think they were a bunch of losers.

It must be done....



HELLLLLLL-OOOOOOO NURSE !!!!!!!!!

But, just doesn't do it for me.
So, how many white dudes go for black chicks? Do many? Wiould that ever be a reason of fewer dates? Any black people here that date mostly white guy? Or only Black guys? Equal of each?

I think you raise a fair point here. People in general are more attracted to members of the opposite sex who are of the same race. So it makes a certain amount of sense that she would have more success in the dating scene where there are a larger proportion of black males, then in a city like Calgary with a pretty small black population.

Not that I care, it's just the natural attraction. Kinda like red-heads don't do much for me. Or guys

I think a class on dating in school might be lost on the kids, I'm just thinking about the social dance classes we were forced to take up until grade 10 or so, and those never went over well.

Like in all things, some are better than others. Certainly understanding seduction and giving guys some workable skills is better than having them learn nothing and continue to never even approach because of their anxiety?

A couple of my friends a few years ago got into learning the mystery method, I have to be honest my early reactions when I heard what they were doing were all bad. I thought it was pathetic to be honest.

2 years later, I'm stunned at how far those 2 have come, they used to both be deathly afraid to walk up to a group of women, or even a group of people. Now when I hang out with them, its pretty amazing how well they do it and especially how its a lot more to do with socializing and having fun rather than 'picking up chicks'..

Mind you we're in our 30's, I can see young guys with these books and taking these courses not truly appreciating what its all about, but I still think after seeing how well its worked for 2 guys with zero game becoming absolute players... The worst it could do is teach men about seduction, if they fail at everything else there is a lot of information taught that would benefit them.

every time I see someone try to do that it is the most pathetic thing ever, I feel embarrassed for them.

Hey at least they are trying, that can't be said about 95% of men in the bar scene

What I hate the most is how the whole concept is on being the alpha and there are I guess tactics on making other men look stupid. It just seems so fake and really in every other setting you aren't going to act like that.

Though I could see the angle where it would help with being able to approach the opposite sex.

Women love confidence, but the Game and all that mystery teaches is a lot more in depth than that. Approach, openings, etc.. Its 1000 times better than getting drunk and walking up to a hot girl with cheesy pick up lines.

I was the one mocking this when I heard my friends involved, but after reading the book the Game, being given the mystery method by my friends, and more importantly seeing the results; I am a believer.

I honestly see it as more of a tool on how to socialize better in social situations. In Calgary the standard is people hang with their friends, closed groups; you learn how to open those groups and have fun with them; the picking up women is just part of it... there is so much more to all of this besides knowing what women want

Thats why my wife came to the states to get me!!!!!!

LOL im happy cause i love calgary more than the states, i just wish it wasnt so damned expensive cause if it was cheaper i would move there!!!

of course i guess i would have free housing and thats the biggie, i would just have to find a decent job ( that isnt in the food buisness) lol

Can someone post a pic of these chicks from the article, I gotta see this.

Yup, I don't know the book your talking about, but I imagine it's about projecting confidence and knowing how to form relationships (with anyone, not just females).

Part of the reason I got into sales was because I noticed I was an introvert when I was younger and I wanted to become more extroverted, have an easier time approaching people, asking for what I want, making new friends, etc. Constantly putting yourself through that and learning new things ,and without it sounding subversive, 'tricks', did wonders for my social and love life.

It could be because people here are wealthier, and maybe are holding out for a supermodel? I mean, why settle for someone you don't think is worthy when you have enough for hookers and blow?

This woman accepted my Facebook request. should I ask her out?

[Dion]

The comments in this ad speak for themselves

[algernon]

Ha! I totally thought this thread was about caring,decent, obedient wives buying for their husbands in Great Falls or Billings...
Hmm, I'm not sure what to think after reading the thread... Good luck to the desperate women of Edmonton in your searches, I guess. Nothing against Plumbers, but BRAGGING about meeting a ing Plumber? reminds of that MadTV bit 'Lowered Expectations'.

There's a huge difference.

Yeah. That's it. I'm confused. I don't understand men. Duh.

Well, we weren't discussing advertising in programming, but the feminine ads that you notice obviously give you the opinion that men have an ideal image of what a woman should be like and that you do not fit into that ideal. To me 'liking' and 'attracted to' are interchangable.

About being confused.. just one man's opinion on your 'voice' in these types of threads.
