This is funny stuff.

Talking to a beautiful woman is enough to make the hardest man wilt. Everything he says to her makes him sound like an idiot. You wonder how our parents hooked up.

The 23-year-old documentary filmmaker, who asked his last name not be used for fear of ridicule, suffers from an acute case of "premature ejectulation" -- ejecting himself early from promising conversations with women for fear of rejection.

Obviously, just awful when your tongue can't get you in the groove.

Men have tried everything to win a woman's love. Its the hardest job in the world a man will ever do.

Yea, but once your tongue is in the groove things get easier.

One of the local radio stations interviewed this person yesterday. I emailed the station with this question.

Why should I listen to any supposed male who uses "nuance" and "charisma" in his spiel?

Alcohol. It's the only explanation that makes any sense.

If metrosexuals need help in picking up women, it shows how much they lack in confidence. And the first thing women pick up about men today is that of a man who is unsure of himself. No wonder there are so many lonely guys looking for love.

No it's not. Just talk to her because you're attracted to her and you want to love her.

Most men who go up to women blind are looking to get laid. It's useless to teach men more "lines" or whatever.

Ahhh...Yhea. :^/

I prefer the Beavis and Butthead approach.

"Uh...hey baby. Uh-hu-hu-huh. Wanna like....do it?"

Sheep to the slaughter. Not exactly a representative sample to measure success.

Women have heard all the "canned" lines and as pickup lines, they aren't all that original anyway. A woman wants a guy to talk to her just like they would if sex didn't enter the picture. The best thing a guy can do is engage in small talk and leave the physical stuff for later. If the attraction is there, it will happen in due time. Its a disaster to rush a budding relationship before it has a chance to deepen. There is no such thing as instant love. If there was, there would be no need for "charm school" to teach men how to make contact with the fair sex.

George: She invites me up at twelve o clock at night, for coffee. And I don't go up. "No thank you, I don't want coffee, it keeps me up. Too late for me to drink coffee." I said this to her. People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live. I can't imagine what she must think of me.

Jerry: She thinks you're a guy that doesn't like coffee.

George: She invited me up. Coffee's not coffee, coffee is sex.
