i knew this girl like a artist named rufus wainwright; a guitar player/singer. so i bought his cd and listened to it for her...but it was a load of crap so i lost interest in her and never even brought it up.

i dont know about you guys but the most sucessful "tactic" i've used is to act like i'm not interested. for whatever reason it seems to work well.

You are asking a computer forum full of nerds about women? Most of the kids here have never even kissed a woman (and no kissing your computer screen doesn't count)

As far as the guys here know, 1.5 Gigs of RAM is a real turn on.

Best way to impress a girl is with two Vykadins and a couple beers.... did I say that?

hmm, my thread on "Let's List What Women Want", http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...readid=127364, turned out better, strangely enough. Just looking for new perspectives, people. I'm not going to follow every single advice I read.

Zim's got it right, actually. Other tips, girls like to talk, in general. I know you guys know how to do that. I see you do it with each other all the time. Girls talk much the same way, and appreciate a non-vacant stare and some happy nodding. Now, note, there's always the chicks looking for an anonymous screw, and none o this is applicable for that, so don't bother reading here if that's what you're lookin' for.

HOLY ****!!! We're in the EXACT same boat. I bought the CD for the same reason and it REALLY SUCKS!!! As I was looking at the CD in the store I thought "anybody named Rufus that sings about cigarettes and chocolate milk has got to suck." But I bought it anyway.

i know this isn't the topic of the thread....but i suffered through a live set of rufus when he opened on tori amos' last tour...awful, just awful...i am very tolerant of music - i enjoy so many varied styles and artists...but this guy....brutal.

When I worked in theatres there was this young surgeon who had the Pierce Brosnan thing going. Model hair. Chiseled jaw.

He drove a red Ferrari.

So this guy is swanning around theatres and all the nurses are gushing their knickers whenever he walks by. Who? Me jealous? One day we had a French patient that the airlock nurse couldn't understand so she asked if anyone on duty spoke French. Guess who could? Fluently.

If I was a woman I would have been impressed. Being a regular bloke I just wanted to smash his ****ing face in.

So there you go. There are perfect people out there, making us all look bad by comparison. Dweebs like us stand the best chance of impressing women by keeping our womenfolk away from those guys.

Seek women with low expectations.

Not sure, I have found out as women get older, they are less attracted to such men.

When I'm around women I try to be casual and curtious. I smile and focus the attention on her. Most of all, I just act like myself (for better or worse... I'm one of those "shy" guys). =)

Anyway, I figure if she doesn't like me for who I really am and isn't interested in the same things then a relationship probably wouldn't work out anyway. I'd rather be myself and just make a new friend rather than go out of my way to impress her by being something I'm not.. ultimatly insulting her intelligence.

I guess I should say I've been single for years so take this with a grain of salt. To my credit I'm not activly seeking a relationship and most of my friends are married... so I'm not exactly opening myself up for lots of opportunites.

That's because she was laughing too hard at you. You forgot to remove the "Made in Singapore" tag.

5. Refer to other women (especially past girlfriends/wives) as b*tches. Eg. "I met that crazy b*tch when I was almost as drunk as I am now" It shows that you've loved and lost.
4) Ask her if she'd get you some cigarettes when she excuses herself to go to the bathroom. BE VERY SPECIFIC about the brand .. women hate indecisiveness
3) Assure her that your "all for that feminist crap"
2) Check out any other hot women that walk by. It shows that you appreciate beauty and really like women in general.
1) Make sure she knows that your herpes is "pretty much in remission right now" if she inquires about your cold sores.

Those pointers should get you on your way ...

Ewww!

I don't mean long eyebrows, I mean a long tounge. Something that would give Gene Simmons feelings of inadequacy.

One trick I do that's raised a few females' eyebrows is to take the stem from a cherry, throw it in my mouth, and moments later, pull it out tied in a knot
Did a different take on that this past weekend with one of those little stirring straws at the bar. My girlfriend says, "See why I love him so much?!?"

Fantastic, Keekeeree !!

Another one that plays to much applause and calls for encores:

You stand. Her butt/lower legs rest on your upper chest/ shoulders and your hands support her in the middle of her back just below her shoulder blades such that she is horizontal 6ft in mid-air (well, 5ft, since she's at shoulder height). When the BIG - O -TRAIN arrives at the station, she is completely out of touch with any sort of reality (nothing to grab on to, no solid ground beneath her at all). I did that to a girlfriend once ... her arms were flailing like she was drowning in a big O-cean.

DISCLAIMER: Do not try this if you are over 30, in particularly bad shape, and/or have a slightly larger girlfriend unless you want a hernia

Since that impresses them so much, I am going to cheat and hide a pre-knotted cherry stem under my tongue when she's not looking.

Yeah, I could see where crashing five feet onto her head might ruin the mood

Just make sure you don't choke as you swallow the un-knotted evidence

You're assuming most men can pick up the clues. It's a lot easier said than done, especially when you're interested in the person. It's always easier when you're not into the girl, but if you're not into the girl, then what use are the clues.
