What a bunch of nonsense. I hope nobody falls for this tripe.

There is only ONE mistake that men make when it comes to women. Okay, men. Here is a freebie from Pukin Dog. Do you want to do better with women?

Okay, here it is.

Shut the F&%K up! Stop talking. Let her talk and keep your mouth shut until she invites you to say something. Say it quick, make sure whatever you say is about her; preferably a question about her, then shut up again until the next time she stops talking long enough for you to say something else about her.

Do not talk about yourself at all. It is not about you. Do this, and you cannot fail with women. And pick up the check, you loser.

Hmmmm.....no wonder I'm single. I never talk much at all.....I am naturally very quiet....so this certainly wouldn't work with me.

Don't oversimplify it - a lot of very men who are unsuccessful with women who have overdone the 'let her talk' advice and have just been percieved as girlfriends with a penis - nonthreatening sounding boards that seldom if ever get rewarded with sexual affection.

Without some sexual tension, a good listener becomes the last thing a horny male wants to be: 'a friend.'

Your analysis has some truth; however, there comes a time when a woman WANTS a man to initiate good conversation. This will show her you can initiate OTHER things correctly as well.

I've also noticed that this works. To expand a little: be interested in her. Do not try to be interesting, be interestED.

And try to pick one that you CAN be genuinely interested in. The sex will NOT be worth it if you have to sit thru verbal diarrhea for hours.

That's the lesson I learned in my 20's. It works to this day. However, it limits you to shallow narcissistic emotional vampires.

But if they have big boobs, then so what ...

Well said! Couldn't agree more.

"Do not talk about yourself at all"

Clearly, you didn't learn this in the Navy, least of all the flying Navy......

Pukin' Dog is 99% right. I'm a member of Mensa, and have had the privilege of being hit on by lots of card-carrying smart men, and watching other women being hit upon by the same. The number one mistake they make is in fact a social mistake, which is that they think if they talk about themselves nonstop, it will fascinate the woman and show her their manly prowess.

The tiny part that PD does not have right is the fact that the conversation should NOT be 100% about the woman, since that too is a tip-off that you're following a formula. Just hold a conversation, a reasonably normal conversation, about subjects the woman seems to be *interested* in. (Which may or may not be herself and her life.) I met the man who became my husband (14 years now!) at a Mensa party, and we talked for most of the evening about Heinlein's novels -- a subject we were *both* interested in. Then he followed up at the end of the evening by actually asking me out. Slam dunk!

Here's three totally safe comments: How do you feel about that? Tell me more. That's interesting.

All you losers out there should forget about buying the book and just do what Pukin Dog says to do.

He is a wise man.

[rwfromkansas]

true.

[xsrdx]

Do this, and you cannot fail with women.

Or, you can just wear a flight suit, re-enact your last successful engagement and say "on the deck" and "mach" a lot.

Chicks dig it.
