Don’t be a hunter. Be an attractor.

So work on your attractors. You make a nice salary. Do you have a good position? Do you have social capital? Are you a leader? Do you volunteer?

Do you work out? Do you read?

How’s your confidence? Are you a good conversationalist? Do you ask interesting questions? Are you well traveled?

Do you have a house? Nice car?

If you can improve on only some of these things you will naturally attract women as a side effect of your improvement.

Do not push to meet women. Push to be better at everything you do. Like Scarface said… first you get the money, then you get the power. Then you get the women. Build your power(s).

Lastly, don’t make yourself too available. Turn women down. Tell them no from time to time. Regain your power as to what happens and when. It drives them nuts. They aren’t used to it and can’t handle it. Especially in this day and age.


All this is true.

Learn all the wines and their appropriate pairings, learn cigars, learn at least three couples dances (I recommend Salsa, Cowboy Swing/2step, ballroom waltz), learn one crazy tasty drink no one else makes, work out, do three hobbies (one that earns, one that keeps you fit, one that will help you interact with women), learn to shoot (shooters shoot), get good at one female tv show (bridgeton, etc)...learn to take manageable risk. Learn to play poker, have an exceptional charity that you never discuss (disappear to the home building or VFW a few hours on a set day), visit a foreign country 2 times a year.

Now, if you're doing all that solely for the purpose of getting puss and not because you want to grow then its not gonna work. women (at least women who aren't whores) can smell that a mile away.


True, but good habits become a lifestyle, whatever motivates positive change, use that shite

That’s great and all, but what kind of personality do you have? Are you fun, loving, like to laugh, optimistic, happy? Money and looks aren’t everything.

Just be confident. I don’t care what you say just say it confidently. Girls like a guy that commands a room. Money shouldn’t play into it and $70K isn’t a lot to be bragging about so don’t bring it up. Dress to impress. Whatever your style is dress nicely. A little tip; girls love a guy in good jeans and cowboy boots so go get you a pair if you don’t already have some.

Skills. Girls only want guys with skills. Nunchuck skills. Bow hunting skills.

Jeezus fricking Christ maybe this is why it's so easy for a normal guy to get a 2nd date these days. Commanding a room and dressing nice? Do you really want that kind of woman?

All you need to do is be fricking nice. And pay attention to everything she says. Remembering her dog's ailment or little sister's birthday she invited you to goes much farther than the jeans or boots you wear. And if they don't, you don't want her.

Even in this day and age, women like men.

That's my advice.

We should all aspire to be decent people.

But nice is pejorative. It means you’re weak.

I agree, have some solid kicks for day to day like Merrils...and some good gym sneaks, some shite kickers, and probably 2 pair of fly dress shoes, for funerals and weddings...

Get two decent suits and 1 room killer

Get at least a Hamilton or Shinola, eventually get that Rolex or omega.

Have a daily style for casual life that is identifiable, but be flexible.

Use fricking deodorant and brush your teeth 2x daily...you young fricks can be slouches about this shite...shave the neck beard too...if you rock a beard keep it clean unless you're trying to frick biker hags.

Stop wasting time on shite that won't increase your gravitas...strangely some things help immensely that you wouldn't think. Know/own two to three good party board games...Just One is perfect, Ultimate Werewolf is good, etc. Being good at video games won't help you, but owning the shite will, cause all kinda chicks claim to be gamers but don't know how to beat the fricking carrot on Cuphead.

Be tenacious on self improvement...read Outliers for campy tidbits, Think Fast/Think Slow to learn your own stupidity, and anything by a self help guru...like Leoncini

Yes.

Ignore everything you see in popular culture.

Best advice I can give is to get comfortable talking to all women. Don’t wait until you see one you’re interested in and try to figure out at that moment how to talk to her.

Learn to small talk to everyone. Start casual conversations with any woman you’re near in an elevator, checkout line etc. there’s no pressure when you’re not really interested and you’ll get more comfortable.


This is great advice. Let me give you a few other pointers:

1. Forget about money as long as you have a job and pay your bills.

2. Look a bit put together - always have clean nice shoes, no stains on your shirt, modern jeans or khakis, no cargo shorts. This means some western boots, loafers, or chukkas with no tears, scuffs, and sure as heck not "athletic" shoes. Find some Tecovas on sale or Clarks. No square toes unless they are western boots.

3. See above about small talk, etc... practice on everybody with small talk. Really this means small-listen, IE get others talking about their small talk hot buttons while you listen. Even guys - women love a guy at the center of the room. I can't stress the listen part enough. People will think you are the smartest/nicest man in the world and all you do is listen to them chatter.

4. Go on dates even if they're not your true love. Put up some numbers, see what people are into, it's like basketball. You have to take a lot of shots.

5. Clean car, clean house, pictures in frames, clean bed sheets, ask "would my mom/sister be comfortable here?". Women do not like a guy with a pigsty. Also have some stuff in your fridge other than bbq sauce and beer.

6. Learn to cook a bit. You don't have to be Emeril, but think "Sam the Cooking Guy" level on youtube.

7. Get out there. Join a gym, join a car club, a book club, alumni association, go to bars, download bumble... you can't meet people at work and your basement in West Monroe or wherever.

8. Have a modicum of taste in the arts - get into some classic movies (Hitchcock, not Caddyshack, but that's good too) and some good taste in music. Classic country, british invasion rock (stones, zepplin), 80's rock, russian masters (Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, etc), bebop jazz (miles, coltrane, etc). Many of the coolest women I know listened to great jams and watched great movies with their dad on a sunday afternoon. They like that stuff, it brings back good memories.

9. Be a gentleman but don't be a dope/too nice. That will sink your ship every time.

Long story short, be well-rounded, well-liked, well groomed, and well-traveled and your chances go way up.

Women do like men who command a room.

He got that part right.

I showed up to my last first date in a dune buggy for no other reason than to see if the now wife was easily put off.

She didn't even acknowledge it.

That's the type of woman I need... One who isn't surprised by all the weird shite I do and who goes with the flow because it's fun.
