"Personal" is the key word, here folks. You know, it means the same thing as individuality, something everyone has.

Strip the outside layers off and we're all the same. Individuality doesn't exist beyond those outside layers. Learn that and you're halfway there.

...Hint? Go research "Sheriff Buck", think how you acted when you were seven years old in the public playground with strange other kids and add subtlety. [/B]

"I was durned skeptical at first, but them folks in Washington told me that this .NET 'enables an unprecedented level of software integration through the use of XML Web services: small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other--as well as to other, larger applications--via the Internet.' Well, I said to my deputy, if that ain't gonna save little Erwin, nothing will."

So sayeth the only Sheriff Buck I can find.

Sure men and women can just be friends.

But wouldn't it be better if we were friends who had a lot of sex, too?

No, not really. Sex is VERY easy to get, and generally speaking, unless the woman is a complete "bull", or you're really ugly, you can have your way with anyone. There are some very simple, almost universal "triggers"... go check out other primate mating rituals and you'll see the key. Make eye contact, be assertive, don't show any weakness (even in jest), don't show interest in what she's saying, and dominate the conversation. Then, don't call them for at least 2 days after you've scored, this keeps up the aire of mystery around you. Back when I was much younger I used to exploit these triggers mercilously. A nasty person I was.

Of course, this isn't the way to make a lasting relationship, it's simply the way you score... also it makes you an asshole, but that's the price you pay.

What MacNStein said... ...but there are also techniques with which you can get the girl and keep her - without the slightest bit of assholeness (is that a word?). It's just most guys don't work these out 'coz they're more interested in getting all they can.

Especially if you're not picky about things like intelligence, character...
