Offer them your hand or touch them on the back in a friendly nonthreatening yet familiar manner. At leat 3 out of 10 women will be willing to dance(usually). When you are dancing try to make eye contact to gage interest. If there is eye contact, make a compliment to them and a joke. They should have smiled at least twice by then. It's your choice what to do in the interim. Too close the deal. Tell them that the club is too noisy too really talk and you want too get to know them better. Phone number time. This works. Make sure that you always approach strangers. Also remember that there are girls in the club that want you to approach them. You just have too find them.


That's just downright creepy.

How is it creepy? It's just approaching women with a strategy for success. it's not stalking. It's more like the opposite of stalking because if the woman is uninterested you move on quickly.
Remeber to smile when you speak. That shows confidence or warmth.

It sounds like good practical stuff to me, Rogan J.

I have not come across the idea of seeking an exchange of phone numbers because you did not have a chance to talk to someone and it sounds like a winner.

If I still went to clubs I'd be giving it a try, anyway.

The "It's too noisy to talk in here" line is also excellent.

And if she gives you her number she is going to say yes when you ask her out.

So what if you aren't "good looking"... not all women are good looking either. Don't aim too high if you have confidence problems. The plainer looking girls are probably feeling as lonely as you are as they watch their beautiful friends get all the guys... they will appreciate the attention.

You might be surprised at how great some of the plainer looking girls can be... looks aren't everything.

This is the order I use.
1. Women that look interested in me
2. When that I am interested in.
3. Women that are acceptable to my physical standards.
I find that the ugliest girls will reject me faster than the prettiest girls. So why bother settling.

The other thing is what's this about getting shot. there are lots of nice places to live in Philly. Try historiclandmarks.com. Women like a cool apartment vs an apartment in the gutter. Think romantic setting when choosing location. If you want to stay around blacks then I recommend a mixed neighborhood with a variety of people. Like a greenwich village/little five points eccentric community.

I didn't say ugly
There are many average and slghtly above average looking woman out there. Many people ignore them as they try to go after their dream lady... you know, the ones that get their pick of who they want.

And the odds are, it won't be an average type of guy. Many guys and women fail because they set their goals too high... based solely on looks. And as anybody can tell you, looks is only part of the deal.

Granted, if a person's looks turn you off, I wouldn't recommend trying to start a relationship... But I will say, even an average looking girl could become much better in your mind if you hit it off and truely like each other.

I used to use the what i liked to call the " Hot or Not" method. Guess we're all familiar with the site and it's basic premises. Find out what rating you are, and go through a bunch of the female pictures to determine what the general perception of attractiveness is. Then aim for someone your rating or slightly lower and it'll probably work.

But really i don't think this your problem as much as a self image problem. If you don't believe in yourself, why would anyone else? Be a bit more cocky, if it helps give yourself little pep talks in your head just building yourself up. In a way women are like dogs in that they smell fear. It's probably an evolutionary thing...

Don't worry, life ain't that kind. It will first give you love, then rip from you, then kick you around for a while until are all you are left with are memories of how it use to be, a bottle of cheap gin, and a pet rat named bobo whose abode you are invading because the woman took the house, the kids, the IRA, and has you stuck paying an alimony which is 3x what you earn... That's how life works.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I am not so sure that beautiful women get to pick and choose in quite the way suggested. Beauty can be intimidating and I suspect some beautiful women are rather lonely. I have certainly noticed that there are a disproportionate number of such women married to men who have two qualities - they look like toads and they have compensated by developing an overweaning confidence. Now maybe all these guys are about to turn into princes, or maybe there is some other reason beautiful women like toads but what I actually think is that the toad-like but very confidant guys are almost the only ones who approached the lovely women. The rest of us just assumed they were not for the likes of humble us.

It may also be worth saying that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. The first girl friend I had at university I thought was very pretty. One or two friends agreed but a number of others thought she was positively plain.

So I say don't be put off by beauty. In a way you owe it to your fellow men to pay proper homage by at least asking a beautiful girl out. And if she is disdainful, well that should be easy to bear. A beutiful woman can do no wrong.

Lastly I will say this - the things that catch your eye when you first meet are somehow never the things that come to endear a woman to you if a relationship develops. I first noticed my wife's laugh, and I guess I always liked that. But after 11 years together, and for many of those years, it was her complexion which I thought a marvel.

If you go off someone I notice it is then sometimes exactly those things which did first catch your attention which come to grate upon you.

My friend went through a huge battle over the cat when he broke up with his fiancee of several years. It was very sad, that break up. Both have since married, and both have kids, and the kids are more adorable than the cat was.

IE, Life goes on. (though if this is not the time to hear that, Im sorry)

He's, what, 19y/o?

I'm 34, and I remember quite unfondly of being 19, starting my Freshman year at Eastern Mich., and feeling like a complete dork incapable of being with anyone (and desperately alone because of it).

The best thing I did was simply to LET GO. When I learn to simply let go and enjoy life moment by moment with myself and friends, regardless of my bleak romantic prospects, there were women aplenty.

You're obviously quite intelligent and probably more attractive than you think. Enjoy the life you have, with all its quirks and challenges. It WILL get better. There is almost a natural law that suffering does not, and cannot, last forever . Anyway, that's my advice.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

To you Pax it is creepy. It reminds me a bit of a slimy car salesman trying to as you put it "close the deal". Newsflash....while you might be getting the women in the club, trust me they all know what your doing and what your up to and believe me. And they do talk about you when you've moved on to your next conquest Guys that do that are a dime a dozen. And it's a very old rotuine as well as you come across as to well rehearsed. That's why it's creepy. To know that someone doesn't have enough confidence to initiate personal conversation without it sounding rehearsed.

Albieeeeee ~ Above all be yourself. Not the gansta rap crap, not the hard shell on the ouside, but yourself. Be Ramsey not Albert. It isn't important to impress them with your knowledge or intellect. What is important and will always...always impress a woman is your heart. If you are speaking to a woman your interested in as stated before find out what she is interested in. Nothing shows more interest to a woman then someone who cares about what she likes or cares about. But get through all the bull crap and the psudo physco crap and just talk normal. Not the stuff you spout here and on IM. And I'm not trying to come across mean but I've talked to you when you are talking normal and your really cool and you are sweet and nice and smart.

Everyone wants and needs to be loved. It will happen for you trust me. I does happen to everyone, but you have to have to have to have to be yourself!!! Not this image you've created. Can't remember where the quote is from but "above all be true to yourself." Trust me as I said before to Pax above.....women see through the fakness and can tell when they are being played. Be yourself, take it slow and show interest in the things she likes and you will be just fine. You know where to find me if you need to talk.

Ming is totally right in this. I used to be the type that would only go after the pretty boys but they wind up being to high maintence. As well as they really weren't concerned with my interest and as I have said so many times on this forum beauty fades but ugly is forever. When you are sitting on your front porch with the person you've chosen and hair is gone, boobs are saging, teeth are gone and you can't get it up anymore without viagra.....you'd better be able to talk to them and enjoy their intellect and your common interest because beauty does fade.

The man I wound up marrying was my best friend for years and we have alot in common but it took 13 years for him to pull his head out of his a$$ and realize what a wonderful woman I was. And he has a bit of a belly, hair is going and he's getting those awful hairy ears but he's mine and I love him and I know that when I'm sitting on my front porch in years to come he will be there with me and we can talk and enjoy it. And I won't have to worry about my looks nor his.
