straddling the border between quality lols and quality AAAAAH MAKE IT STOP.

"Did you know that talking about sex with a woman can be the first step to actually having it?"

quality content.

"Vacuuming? What, are you ovulating or something?" She'll be stunned that you know this, and she'll wonder what else you know about female sexuality.

this guy does this as a career it seems. Alpha Male Movie Scenes by David DeAngelo - Part 1

#2 would've been enough to tip me over into thinking the article was a joke if it wasn't on askmen and written by someone who's seemingly a real person.

this is a top quality find

"Looks like you're on the receiving end today. Do you always receive, or do you like to give at times, too?"

it's the way he tells 'em

we are all agreed that this is 'quality' I have now noticed

xp "Crack a slight smile, and she will know exactly what you're talking about." I'm not so sure, seems a bit subtle to me.

In the same way that someone commented that Tommy Wiseau seems to have learned English only by watching soaps, the writer of this seems to have only encountered women by reading about them on the internet.
just so bizarre

that 'ovulating' thing just gets better: "Vacuuming? What, are you ovulating or something?" She'll be stunned that you know this, and she'll wonder what else you know about female sexuality. Of course, if she doesn't know what you mean, fill her in. Women love it when you teach them something new, especially about themselves.

PROTIP: never ever use the phrase "What, are you ovulating or something?" under any circumstances

Self-annointed experts of this sort base their advice on personal experience, anecdotal evidence and reductive thinking. They reason that if it worked once between a particular man and a particular woman, then it must contain some important germ of truth that they can tease out and pass along as wisdom. If it doesn't work for you, he'd probably find some reason why he's still right and you just did it wrong, rather than admit he's just making it all up as he goes.

the english language is literally packed with words you can twist around to create sexual meanings

this shit belongs on the PUA thread btw

Women love it when you teach them something new, especially about themselves./

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was just going to say pretty much exactly that.

In Defence of Mansplaining.

Quite right gr8080, I forgot about the PUA thread :(.

very alpha 11 second pause while he looks at a dvd case

most men find marlon brando distasteful?

The cough in the audience during his 11-second pause is some Simpsons-level shit. <3

but wait, there's more! http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/dating_top_ten_100/131b_dating_list_a.html

What makes this interesting and different is that it's the opposite of what most women would expect you to say.

For example, if she says she doesn't like Tic Tacs because they don't work, you tell her, "Of course they don't work for you. I mean, I don't know exactly how to say this, but, you know you have a big, huge problem with bad breath, right? I mean, you know that, right?".

"i don't like mints because they don't work"
"that is because you have halitosis"
"actually i have no sense of smell and it is congenital"
"more like you smell bad"
"by your hint of a smile i can tell you are joking"
"that was my intent now on to the sexting"

if i had a mint for everytime someone told me a mint "doesn't work" i would have no mints

If they're not laughing at all, you have some improvements to make, or you need to choose women who are more fun and more secure in themselves to spend your time with.

I feel like these are written by an 11-year-old French exchange kid or something

low hanging fruit but: http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Manly

"Look to Paul Bunyan, John Wayne, or Men’s Journal for appropriate dress, then stop caring what people think of your looks."
"If married, please your partner."
"Join a debate team."
"Roam the wild, and save an entire eco-system from destruction."
"Be self-possessed and assured in your interpersonal relationships, now invigorated by manliness."
"Buy a gun."

guys I bring bad news from the PUA borads http://www.puaforums.com/how-pick-up-women/7064-mystery-david-deangelo-juggler-all-frauds.html

There is no proof that any of their techniques work on HB9s or HB10s.

Hot Babe (HB) | Pick Up Artist and PUA Lingo
...
Dec 22, 2008 - Quick Definition: A beautiful woman, or any woman, rated on a scale of beauty from 1-10. (HB can also stand for "Hunny Bunny.

I got as far as some pictures of women approximately seventy billion times more attractive than I've ever been being rated as 6/10 and then 3/10 (I assume that is what HB3 means? xp) and I felt it might not be good for my mental health to continue, but perhaps if the lulz are strong and I feel brave I'll take a look with images off

Well, I did scroll down a bit, and the other posters do seem to think he's a jackass, so that's ... something. I guess the 1-10 scale assumes a level of "hotness" from the get-go. So 1 is still "hot", just not Aphrodite-hot. God knows. I don't want to know more about this scene that what I get through this thread. Pick-up Artists make me feel unwell.

i think it's fine to lol from a safe distance but when i'm in the thick of them like on that forum it all gets a bit much for me. such a complex network of thought processes that i wasn't aware existed.

justdudethings

hb1 in dog years

hot babe and honey bunny both sound like phrases a 50 year old with a corvette would use. kind of feel like young pua enthusiasts sound like middle aged divorcees pretty often.

i wonder what the median age of PUAs is. wouldn't be surprised if its closer to 40 than 20.

So you mean.... over 30?

yeah that's not old enough to say honey bunny i guess

i was thinking more like 40s and 50s i guess. i don't think being a PUA is a young man's thing. reading those posts on that messageboard, they don't really sound like twentysomethings.

I see twentysomethings negging and shit at bars, they're not fully fledged PUAs but it's definitely not just old men.

the PUA culture seems mostly to be 20-30-something nerdy guys, who would be at their local Libertarian Party meeting if they weren't busy trying to peacock and bag HB10s brah.

yeah, i guess that's right. for some reason the MRA contingent slipped my mind and i was just thinking of like bald dudes with convertibles trolling for chicks.

the PUA thing wouldn't be anywhere near as gross as it is if it wasn't also used by young perfectly confident perfectly charismatic guys as a shortcut to getting what they want without having to actually engage in any serious way. No one really minds pathetic dorks being pathetic dorks.

Seeing 'HS2 benefits dwindling, says MPs' on the BBC website my mind translated that into 'Hot [B]abe 2'. Agreed, gimme a scientifically determined HB4 or give me nothing.

stfu everyone about puas, that shit is so 5 years ago

this thread is for artisanal curated masculinity and courage, plz

otm I thought that was on our classic pua thread for a bit
