Doesn't really sound like you're confident.

Lol, then my suggestion would be stop feeling sorry for yourself and hoping some great woman just walks into your life. Go out and find her. If you don't have a problem meeting women, then go meet them.

When you get to the comfort stages, offer to teach her how to play chess. It's a good way to build rapport. But I've noticed you've mentioned chess in other posts. If you really want a girl that plays chess, try going to chess tournaments. Some very attractive women play chess and you'd probably be the most well equipped guy for pick-up in the entire place.

I'm going to give you a name. You can look it up and decide if his methods are right for you or not. Erik von Markovik (aka Mystery).

The silent treatment isn't necessarily a sign she's not interested. It's probably a **** test to see how needy you'll act and how easily you'll give up. But there is always the possibility she's not interested.

My brother used to purposely blow it into my face just to piss me off, lol.

I used to look down on people that smoked because I just didn't understand why they needed to. When I heard stress as an answer, I thought of people as weak willed if they couldn't handle stress. But...then I started smoking 2 months ago, lol. For those who don't smoke, it's really nothing special. Except the light headed feeling you get, but really, you can get that affect by holding your breath. Anyway, back to the point, I still don't understand why some people smoke, but I'd be a hypocrit to look down on them now since I do it too.

You don't have to buy a woman gifts for her to like you. In fact, it'll usually kill any attraction she might've had because it looks like you're trying to buy/pay for her attention.

Man, Spoon is a PUA now. Apparently JDog worked with him after the show was over. JDog introduced him to Ross Jefferies and they got him over his approach anxiety. Spoon makes special guest appreances at bootcamps.

I'd say yes. I have a friend that I'd like to be with, but I'm not going to destroy the friendship over it. I'd rather have her in my ife as a friend than not at all.

That'd be a little unfair, don't you think? You'd have all of these guys that know little to nothing about PUA techniques versus you, who's been studying it for years. And then you'd have Mystery taking you even further. So where do you think Spoon is at now anyway? Joe D. is on getwomentoday.com explaining various PUA things. Last I heard, Brady and Kosmo were working with Mystery running bootcamps.

I liked it until the end when the movie turned into Blade. That was a pretty lame ending.

Lots and lots of sex and baseball, lol.

I'd say the woman then. Unless she makes the first move, the man probably wouldn't even know she was interested.

Who's older, the man or the woman?

You jumped to a conclusion by misenterpreting what I said. I said men's attraction is based on appearance. I never said it had to be fat, skinny, tall, short, black, white, green, blue, etc. Everyone has their own preference. There are men who are attracted to bigger women. There's nothing wrong with that. That's what their perception of what high replication value is. As for other traits you mentioned, that applies more to survival value. I didn't say the only reason men are attracted to women is because of appearance, it's just one of the bigger reasons. I don't think it's fair to call guys jerks because a bigger woman doesn't attract them. Their emotional attraction swithces just aren't flipped by her appearance. The same concept applies to women. So many women complain about not being able to find a "nice guy". "Nice guys" are all over the place, but they don't possess certain alpha male qualities that would increase her survival chances. Therefore, a woman feels no attraction for him. So should the "nice guys" start calling women jerks because she isn't attracted to him?

True, but the same prinicpal still applies today. It's evolutionary and our emotions are pre-wired to feel attraction for these traits.

"Attraction isn't a choice" - David DeAngelo

Men are attracted to women differently than women are attracted to men. The problem is, people tend to assume attraction works the same for the opposite sex as it does for them. It doesn't. Men are generally attracted to women with a high replication value (appearance) while women tend to be attracted towards men with a high survival value.
