I didn't say to proposition the ladies, I said to be honest when speaking to them for the first time. I was aways kind of shy and nervous too, but I told this lady she made me feel like a mosquito at a nudist colony when I met her, and 36 years later we are still together. Honesty and modesty still work and more folks need to try it.
I didn't scroll through all the posts. But the first thing that came to my mind was a Johnny Bravo cartoon where the guy from School House Rock tries to teach Johnny "musically" how to pick-up women by fiegning such things as being considerate.
