White Lies

I just came across this this morning. I found it interesting and funny while at the same time stupid. As if men, did not already know that women told these white lies.

1. It's ok, it happens to everyone.
2. Size doesn't matter.
3. Nothing wrong.
4. I got it on sale.
5. I'm cumming.
6. You're my best ever.

The author has good conclusion on why women tell these little lies which I think applies to being social and approaching. Most of the time, when we are sarging we enter set, hook, lock-in, and number close then get flake on. While we probably did several things wrong doing the whole interaction, we still had a god time meeting someone new and improving our skills. Well, at least that has been my experience. As the author points out, "many women are taught to be people pleasers and often use falsities and untruths to make their ride a little smoother". So while our interactions may have been nice and smooth without too many hiccups, the cause for flakiness could be as simple as our target being nice.

Body Language

The Ririan Project has a great post up about body language mistakes.

Here's their top eight:
Mistake #1: Avoiding eye contact.
Mistake #2: Blocking: putting something between you and your listeners.
Mistake #3: Fidgeting, rocking or swaying.
Mistake #4: Keeping your hands in your pockets or clasped together.
Mistake #5: Standing or sitting perfectly still.
Mistake #6: Slouching, leaning back, or being hunched over.
Mistake #7: Using phony gestures.
Mistake #8: Jingling coins, tapping toes & other annoying movements.

Slow but Fun Week

It has been kind of strange for me lately. I spent most of 4th of July partying with no real approaches. I take that back no structured approaches. Mostly opening people at parties or at clubs with I guess situational openers and general banter. I did end up with six numbers, interesting enough.

This week I have been on the road a lot so I have been catching up with the variuos podcasts out there.

I found that this week, I have been talking a lot to various women. I'm not sure if I am just approaching as if it is something I should doing or if it's like some autopilot mode I'm in. But I'm liking it, there's no thinking to random bantering, I have thrown in the ring finger four times and then number closed four times.

Anyway, there's a lot chatter in DC Lair about the following article,

To the pick up artist I punched at the water front 2 weeks ago..
Pulling the "CUBE" on my girl.. are you kidding me. You don't think
she'd tell me. You don't think I'd know whats up... I'm glad I socked
you in the face and AMOG'd.com your world kid. You're lucky the
bouncers are quick on their feet.

Pick up artist's beware .. we're onto your techniques .. A friend of
my GF told me about the book The Game, I did the research and the next
time I smell you pulling lines on my girl my boys and I will go
apeshit on you and beat the "AFC" back into you.

Openers for Women

I personally to do not like the new fade of wearing t-shirts out on town at but they do provide an opportunity for people to start a conversation. Here DC, there is a new company, singletease.com, that specializes in making t-shirts for women to help get the conversation going. They fairly simple and straight forward and cute. They are a tone version of busted tees. Check out the Washingtonian write-up: A Girl’s Gotta Do ...

It’s Not You, It’s Your Apartment (NYT)

It’s Not You, It’s Your Apartment is an article about how your apartment can kill the mood. Badboy has a newsletter out speaking about having your home prepared which kind of hits some of these topics. But as you read through this article, it becomes more apparent that it's not really the bedsheets or the crammed apartment, but people's own little idiosyncrasies that are the deal killer. For me, it might be may undying fanship to Battlestar Galactica.

But what really freaks me out is one of the guys is a dating advice writer. ????
