OK, well it doesn't sound like too much of a
problem to me.
You have two girls that like you, what's the
issue?!
You're going to have to decide if you'd like:
1) A relationship with one of them.
2) To be single and date both of them.
If you want a relationship, then pick the one
you like and go out with her more than once a
week.
If you DON'T want a relationship right now,
then don't see EITHER of them more than about once
a week (twice once in awhile is OK, but any more
than that and a woman will start to go into
relationship mode AUTOMATICALLY).
There is no problem with more than one woman
liking you, the problem comes if you start being
dishonest and not-up-front in your dealings with
them.
These are great problems to have, really... as
long as you don't screw it up by being a jackass.
***COMMENT FROM A READER***
There is a lot of guys that says:
"I want a woman to like me for "who I am"... "I
don't want to be pretending like I'm someone
else..." "I want to "be myself"... I don't like
the idea of pretending to be someone that I'm
not..."
I was the typical Nice-Guy-Wussy-Clingy, but I
have read your newsletter and I have downloaded
your book six months ago, and in six month I have
date more women than in six years, first I didn't
believe in being Cocky & Funny, but after trying
again and again, I have a lot of success and the
best of all is that I FEEL that Cocky & Funny is a
part of my personality, I ENJOY a lot being Cocky
& Funny, but I'm not only C&F with the girls that
I meet, I'm C&F with my brother, sister, my
friends and with everyone !!! Thanks David, for
all, It's like a dream , Thanks Again. Some Day I
will shake your hand..

Congratulations. You've figured something out
that a lot of guys NEVER get their entire lives...
You've realized that you can actually enjoy
yourself and make Cocky and Funny, as well as the
other techniques, a part of your personality.
I'm glad things are working out for you, and it
would be great to shake your hand one day (no
kissing, though).
***QUESTION***
Hello,
I recently downloaded your e-book, and that
combined with your email newsletters have helped
me land more email addresses/phone #s in the last
several months than the rest of my 24 year life
combined. I now see some of the stuff I have been
doing wrong over the years and some things to do
to correct my behavior and attitudes towards
women. The cocky/funny attitude definitely works,
when used in the right context. I still feel
awkward since I'm fairly new at these new
"techniques" but I know I am on the right track.
However, I have some challenging questions for
you. Getting a phone number or email address for
me obviously hasn't been enough, and I'll explain
why:
When I call a girl's phone number, I often don't
get through (yes, I remember your figure of
something like 1 in 3 times on average).
Obviously if I want a date, I'll have to try again
later, or leave a message if she has voice mail.
That leads me to the first question, should I
leave a (cocky/funny) message, or just try again
later? I am afraid that leaving a message for
someone I hardly know might make me come off as
too desperate (so far I have NEVER gotten a
response after leaving a message), but then when I
call again and again (within reason, I give it
some time between calls, and I won't try more than
a couple times in a day) attempting to reach a
girl in person, I'm afraid that she might have
caller ID and figure out that I kept calling her,
which would also make me come across as needy and
desperate. Or, should I just give up, and move on
to somebody else, even with the possibility that
the girl I tried calling really likes me and
simply wasn't there to answer my call?
My second question is an even tougher one. Over
the summer I've emailed about 12 different girls
asking for dates. I will provide the text of a
typical message in a minute here. However, I have
to date gotten ONE response back (there goes your
60% theory...). I originally thought there must be
something wrong with my account, but then I
realized my emails get prompt responses from other
friends and family members, so I don't think this
is the case (only once did I get a "delivery
failure" notification). So...what is going on
here--am I just having an incredibly bad streak of
luck, or am I doing something drastically wrong?
And if the latter, what is it--am I coming off as
a wuss, does my email address turn them off, or
what? Now, here is what I said in one of my
messages (this is a typical example):
(Girl's name), It was nice meeting you at the
meteorology picnic, and welcome to the department.
I'm curious to know what you're taking as an
undergrad, as I came here straight for the
graduate program.
I'll have a lot of things to do over the next
couple of days, but let's try and get together
later this weekend--and we can have some fun and
get to know each other better. (My name)
I think that was a pretty good email, although I
wonder if maybe I should have asked for her number
too... anyway I'll leave it up to you to analyze.
One final question: Should I always get a girl's
phone number or email address in the first
meeting, if I am sure I will see her again? For
example, at the picnic aformentioned in my email
example, I met another cute girl at the end of the
evening (she's in my academic department, so I
know I'll see her again eventually), but she was
leaving, I was already on my way to my car, and my
hands were completely full with food. Thus it
would have been totally inconvenient and awkward
to stop and write down an email address or phone
number. Is it better just to hold off in certain
situations like this one?
Anyways...thanks for any help and advice you can
give me.

>>>MY COMMENTS:
Well, let's start with the good...
Great job getting more email addresses and
numbers lately than in the last 24 YEARS!... lol.
You mention above that you've read my book, but
what you've said above leads me to believe that
you didn't really pay much attention when you did.
I'm not even going to address your issue of
calling women, as you should probably be focusing
on emailing first.
I guess I'm confused, because you ask for
advice about what to do when calling, then you
send me a sample EMAIL to critique. OK, about
the email...
Let's start with "It was nice meeting you at
the METEOROLOGY picnic, and welcome to the
department..."
What kind of lame opening is this?
Then we have, "I'm curious to know what you're
taking as an undergrad, as I came straight for the
graduate program..."
Oh, lord help me.
Next we roll into, "...let's try to get
together later this weekend--and we can have some
fun and get to know each other better..."
DON'T MAKE ME SLAP MY OWN HEAD, PLEASE.
You sound like you can't decide whether to ask
her to be your study partner, become her school
counselor, or subtly imply that you're a perv on a
mission.
No no no.
You want to touch base, keep it light, and get
to the next step.
No school stuff, no interview questions, no
"fun".
Try this when following up:
"Hey, it was nice meeting you last night...
what are you up to this week? Would you like to
join me for a cup of something wonderful and some
stimulating conversation? Talk to me."
...you know, just like it says word-for-word on
page 130 of Double Your Dating.
No interviews, no "fun", no lame questions
about what she's doing as an undergrad.
OK, I realize that I'm being a little harsh
here, and that you're just getting started...
lol... but I have to pick on someone!
Remember, no boring, average talk. And until
you have something that you KNOW works better, use
the materials that you paid for in my book!
As your final assignment, keep me posted on how
much better women respond to this new, improved
follow-up message.
(Hint: if you still aren't getting responses,
then you're doing something when you meet them to
give them the creeps. Think about it, and make
some modifications if you have to.)
***QUESTION***
Dear Jedi Master
I have written several times but my letters were
never published. This time I think I have great
material to contribute, which can help in your
newsletter (one of them is this little face, women
love them even if you insert them in the first e-
mail you exchange, right after a c & f comment).
First, my success story. I met a girl on-line on
one of those dating sites. I didn't expect
anything out of it. She had told me she was tall
and cute, I didn't believe so but actually, she
turned out to be very pretty. We went out on a
date at night (she proposed it herself thanks to
my c & f e-mails), though I told her I thought it
was kind of hasty, I accepted. The whole date I
kept composure, I set up a relaxed and calm
atmosphere, I just sat, laid back and chatted. The
only c & f comment I needed to send in was this
one. We were talking about the people we had met
on-line. When she asked about my experience, I
said I only met a nice girl, pretty and
everything, but she was too needy and forward so I
had to tell her "let's just be friends". She told
me about hers, she went out with a nerd, a geek
who kept her the whole night talking about
computers and mathematics. I told her that "you
don't get everyday such a lucky chance to meet
such a cute guy like me". Result, in the end of
the date she asked me if she could kiss me, now
she is my girlfriend and everything is great so
far.
The non verbal cocky and funny examples are many.
Once, in a disco I saw a stunning blond walking
in. She was very poshy and nose-up. As she passed
by me (all the attention was obviously focused on
her) I had this genius idea. I followed her
imitating her wiggling hips and I squeezed my nose
(up) with two fingers (as if to say everybody
stinks here, except for me). As a result,
everybody around us noticed the slapstick comedy
scene and was laughing out loud, even her when she
caught me.
Another example is still in a disco scene. I was
enjoying my beer with my friends sitting on a
table. On the other end of the place there were
these two beauties, they were all the time
surrounded by loosers and sharks. Another idea
flashed in my mind, as our eyes met, I show her my
tongue and I gave her a raspberry. Her expression
went from surprise (I can't believe you just did
that) to smile and then she cracked up in
laughter. I kept this up with other strange
gestures, like shaking my head as if to say
"you're no good", then with other gestures I told
her she was a drunkard. Needless to say, I went
way further than everybody else. Another gesture
you can add after you got her attention, is to
raise your eyebrows. This approach is very good
from far away cause you can keep it up for a few
minutes without even uttering a word without
approaching her directly walking towards her. You
don't even have to worry about the loud music.
Another gesture you can do is shaking your hand
with your fingers held together (a very Italian
gesture), as if to say "what do you want from
me?". And yes, it is a very good idea to imitate
and tease them when they dance. It is so nice and
fun to tease them, and they love it too.
My question is this one. I noticed that my
girlfriend, when I come out with a cocky and funny
statement, still laughs and enjoys it, but at the
same time she gets frustrated and tells me to stop
it as if she doesn't like it. What does this mean?
I keep it up anyhow.
I would like to address also the issue of body
language. There are loads of girls who are too shy
to look at you straight in the eye. They give you
only a side-look. I advise to keep a friend around
you so that you can catch these shy birds as well.
Message to everyone, get a book about body
language, it can save your self-esteem and a lot
of time too!
Thanks again, I still have a lot of issues to
address but I realize I am making this letter too
long
Thanks again man, keep up the good work

>>>MY COMMENTS:
Very nice, I'm glad you wrote in, because I was
just working on some "non-verbal" ways of being
cocky and funny and you have figured some of them
out yourself.
NICE!
One great technique you mentioned is IMITATING
a woman who is obviously very hot and/or stuck up.
You can pull your shoulders back, stick out
your butt, and put your nose in the air... then
look over at her... then laugh at yourself.
If a woman gives you a compliment, you can
purse your lips and put on an exaggerated "James
Bond" Mr. Cool look and say "she wants me" right
to her face.
There are a million ways... great stuff.
To answer your question, I think it's a good
idea to always keep doing what worked in the
beginning.
If a woman was attracted to you because you
were Cocky and Funny, then keep doing it later as
well. If she puts up a fuss, just say, "I'm glad
you like it."
The best way to keep a woman's interest is to
KEEP DOING WHAT WORKED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
***QUESTION***
Dave,
I read your newsletters religiously and they have
come in quite handy, I gotta say.
A two mos. ago, a friend and I were in a coffee
shop when he spotted a female acquaintance of his.
He talked to her a bit and said, "This is my
friend...". I look at her and say, "What's up? I'm
D." This girl gives me the bitchiest look I've
ever seen and in her most appalled tone of voice
she says, "Ummmmmm, WHAT'S UP?" ....as if I should
address her, "Your Highness". "What do you want me
to do [her name], bow down and kiss your hand,
your Highness?"...when I said this, she was in
shock b/c I just tore down her brat barrier and
she tried to regain composure. Well sometime
later, we fooled around some and got along pretty
well. The catch is, after we fool around she gets
clingy (like some wussy guy would do). Dave, have
I dug a hole for myself with this? I'd rather give
up the action than have some brat getting all
emotional and clingy for me...what do you say?
Cheers, D. Indiana
>>>MY COMMENTS:
Yeah, this is a funny thing. If you bust a
stuck-up woman's chops enough to break through the
"Brat Barrier", as you call it, she'll often
become VERY attached to you.
It's almost as if attractive women have been
walking around challenging every man they meet,
and when you meet the challenge she rolls over.
And I'll tell you what, I'd rather give up a
woman than have her be emotionally needy and
clingy myself.
You just have to figure out why she's being
clingy... is it because she's a damaged person on
the inside, because you led her to believe that
you wanted a relationship, or some other reason,
and do what makes sense.
Good job busting through the "Brat Barrier". I
might just steal that name...
***QUESTION***
Hey Dave,
First off, mad props for taking the time to
write a book that everyone can read and use. I
have yet to buy it (next week I will though -
payday), but I have been receiving your
newsletters and enjoying the material in there.
Now after receiving your emails for a few weeks,
I decided to try using the cocky and funny
approach on every girl I came across (I've always
been too shy to do this consistently.. only
situationally). So I did this at work, at coffee
shops, at the bar, you name it. I hadn't tried the
email/number techniques yet though. And I had
only been doing this for a week when I happened to
meet a girl that was incredibly attractive, smart,
and just the complete package. So she received my
largest C&F effort yet. It worked like a charm!
We talked for only a few minutes the first time we
met but I left an impression. The second time we
met, we chatted and joked around for a few hours
and I asked her on a date, which she readily
accepted. So we went on that date, and things went
great.
I was nervous about going out with her, but from
the start I made the decision that I wanted to use
her for practise. I know that sounds bad to alot
of people, but it's more of a frame of mind than
anything else. So anyhow, we went to dinner first
(yeah - I know), we talked, we joked, we had a
good time. Then we went to a movie (which was
originally the plan, to just go see this movie we
both wanted to see, and that was all.. the dinner
was tacked on by her really), and I tried a form
of a kiss test.
Since we had already reached a level of
comfort/friendliness through conversation, it was
time to check out physical playfulness. So during
the movie (comedy), there were a lot of funny
moments as expected. Well, one of them was
hilarious and we both went nuts laughing, so I did
the laugh and slap your own leg thing.. except I
used her leg. And I did it lightly enough so that
it won't leave a mark, but stung a bit. Which is
what I wanted actually. She responded by saying
"hey, that hurt!" while smiling at me, so I said
"oh, poor baby, want me to kiss it better?". She
got off on my playfulness and raised her leg up so
I could kiss it. So I kissed her leg, and I said
"There you go kid, all better!", and I followed
that up with "I hope I don't have to hit you in
the face to get a kiss!":) I still laugh when I
think of that one. She thought that was so funny
she just cracked right up, it was great! A little
off the wall, but great! Then I just waited for
the next funny part, which was like, 10 seconds
later, and I looked into her eyes, down to her
lips, and back to her eyes, and kissed her. She
was incredibly responsive. Now, I'm talking in
slow motion here because that portion setup what
has been a great thing between myself and this
girl since that date. But I need to fast forward
to the problem part. So to fill in the gaps in a
rather boring fashion, the date led to a next day
hot-tub at her place (she called me), and sex the
day after that. She was completely into me. We
had spent almost every single day together for the
next 3 weeks. Anytime I tried to take a day off,
she wouldn't have any of that. The sex was
amazing, and got better and better each time. And
that all led to the problem:
She through me a wicked wicked curv ball that I
didn't expect or see coming, and I didn't react
the way I should have. She not only came out and
said 'I love you', she followed that up with 'I
think you are the one '!!! That is some deep,
serious shit right there. That through me off my
game big time. It was like being at the plate
with no bat while Randy Johnson throws fastballs
at me. 'Holy s***!'
I ended up having a day (the next day), where I
really needed to be alone, and quiet, to
contemplate this whole scene. Unfortunately, she
said those words while we were on a camping
trip... so when I was acting quiet and distant,
she didn't know what to do. She hadn't seen me
like that. So I played it off like I was grumpy.
That wasn't really the best move, but I was
feeling confused. Here I have this amazing chick
who has just said some incredibly huge words to
me. I was stuck, and it turned me into a wuss
again:( That day of the camping trip sucked, and
it was a short camping trip (arrived friday night,
left sunday morning), so it wasn't a very good
one. The friday night was amazing, but what she
said setup the confusion for the rest of it.
So on the Monday after we got back, we sat down
and talked, and decided that it was much too early
for that and we should take a step back and hold
the 'I love you' stuff for another time. Well,
that lasted until that friday when she came over
and said "I've been thinking about this alot, and
I am SO in love with you. I know we said we
didn't want to go there, but you are just so
amazing I can't picture my life without you."
Another curv ball. Another wussifying statement.
And once again, I felt confused and a little
overwhelmed. She has everything I want in a
woman, and she's telling me that I'm what she
wants in a man. Well, that changed all too
quickly. I turned into a wuss. For some dumb
reason, I felt that her confessions of love
required me to be more sentimental, caring, and
lubby dubby. What the hell was I thinking!!!
Exactly one week after that and about 4 days of me
being completely off my game and catering to her
needs, she decides that she has lost the
attraction. She didn't say exactly that, but it
was obvious by our sex life which all of a sudden
disappeared. So we discussed it, and she felt like
being with me was like "training a puppy" because
I lacked confidence in my actions. At that point,
I knew she was right because lately, I wasn't
acting confident in my actions. I let all of my
actions and decisions take her feelings into
consideration first, which ends up making me
hesitate and appear to lack confidence. At the
same time, during the 3 or 4 days prior to that
talk, she had stopped liking my jokes and taking
things offensively. I was not impressed with that.
So I brought that up after her "training a puppy"
comment, and I followed it up with a "you know
what... we're done."
And that was it, I broke up with her. Now I'm
sitting here thinking about how amazing this girl
is, and how the only reason we aren't together is
because I acted like a wuss after the "I love
you"'s came out. The thing is, everyone around us
seen a stronge love between myself and this girl,
and nobody can believe it turned out like this.
Neither can I, but at least I know why.
Problem now, is that I know that we had a
strong love (as early as it was), and I want that
back. I know how wussy that sounds, but I feel
like this ended prematurely. I feel confident that
I can go out and get numbers and get dates, etc...
but it doesn't feel right at this point.
I am tempted to call her and at least say
"It's too bad things didn't work out between us,
but I would like to remain friends, blaw blaw
blaw...". It has only been a little over a day
since we broke up (sunday now, and we broke up
friday night), so I don't know if I should even
bother calling her, or if I should wait a couple
days to see if she calls me, or whatever. I don't
want to wait to be honest. Despite what happened
this past week, she is still someone that is
incredibly special. No other girl I've met has
had her qualities. Which is what makes this so
damn tough. So any advice you can throw me is more
than appreciated. What should I do here Dave?
Thanks, J.
>>>MY COMMENTS:
Your letter was long, but I had to include it.
Let this be a lesson to you...
DON'T TURN INTO A WUSSY.
Don't do it.
And the most important reason is the one you've
demonstrated with your situation: Because you'll
screw up the one situation that really matters,
when and if it comes.
Women are NOT attracted to WUSSIES.
And men tend to start acting like wussies when
they really like a girl.
Here's what to do:
1) Don't call her.
2) Go date other women, IMMEDIATELY.
3) If you talk to her again because you ran into
her or she calls you, MENTION THAT YOU'RE DATING
OTHER WOMEN, AND DO THE THINGS YOU DID WHEN YOU
FIRST MET HER THAT ATTRACTED HER TO YOU IN THE
FIRST PLACE. (If you don't hear from her for a few
weeks or a month, you may call her ONCE.)
4) Write, "I will not act like a WUSS-BAG again."
1,000 times.
5) Read this RIGHT NOW:

Now, go and be a Wussy no more.
***QUESTION***
Hey there David. Great work! I love your mailbags
and tips. They are very informative and useful and
have worked wonders for my dating life. Anyways,
to the point. I wanted to share a good C+F line
that has worked more than I expected it to... And
yes, I thought of it. It works good for guys who
have to overcome shyness as well. Okay it goes
something like this.
The girl you are talking to knows you are shy. So
you bust on her with C+F a bit then you mention
that you are kind of different when you get to
know people better. Then you say I guess I'm like
M&M's. You got to get past that hard candy shell
and get to the sweet, sweet, chocolatty center
(And say sweet, sweet, chocolatty center in a
Homer Simpson voice if you want. I find it makes
it funnier). They nearly always laugh at this one.
Then you say something to the effect of I'm not
even going to get into how else I'm like M&M's.
95% of chicks get this... And it's got me to my
final destination many a time. ;Þ ... You can even
follow up if they make a comment that I hate how
women see me as some type of sexual object; a
piece of meat if you will. (And in a sorta whiney
but funny voice), ITS SO DEGRADING! They love that
:P Thanks for everything Dave and keep up the
great work... I'm saving up for your book but I'm
hella poor so it might take a couple of weeks.
LOL.

>>>MY COMMENTS:
Nice! I love comments that turn typical female
ideas around and make fun of them...
Like saying, "I hate that women only see me as
some type of sexual object... like a piece of
meat" etc.
And the M&M comment is subtle, but nice.
Good work, keep it up!
***QUESTION***
Hey Dave,
I've read your book and been reading your
letters for months, and it all makes an awful lot
of sense. Though coming from someone that has had
as much experience as I have I don't know how much
that means. I'm 19 and never been in a
relationship, well never actually gone out with a
girl unless it was purely as 'friends'. And that's
where my problem kicks in. I am the prodigal nice
guy, basically reverse all your advise and you'd
have me.
That's not to say I don't have what it takes, I'm
funny when I'm with friends, and pretty carefree
and even a bit cocky when I'm with girls that I'm
not at all interested in (I'm not naturally
cocky). I've even been told I'm cute by several
different girls, so I guess I'm not hideous. The
thing is I just can't bring myself to make an
approach. If a girl approached me first I'd be
able to get her number (hypothetically, no real
world experience here). Whenever I have had the
guts to ask a girl out in the past it's always the
same, you're nice and all, can we JBF?. I now know
that was because I was in complete wuss mode while
asking these girls out. And I guess I'm finding
this act hard to break, I just can't seem to break
away from Mr. Nice Guy. I've tried the
visualisation techniques you mention, though I
guess I just loose motivation, not because I don't
want a date, but because I guess I believe I can't
get a date.
So if there are any pearls of wisdom you can dish
out in regards to getting over this first hurdle
it would be greatly appreciated. Think of me as a
project you can mould into the ultimate man,
Funny, Cocky and Charming.
Thanks for your help in advance

>>>MY COMMENTS:
OK, I have two things for you to do:
1) Get online and start chatting with random
women. I don't care what service you use, but I
like AOL. Just start conversations and tease them.
Instant message a woman who's obviously young
and ask, "Are you 50 years old?" Mess with them.
Have fun. This will sharpen up your game, and it
will show you how well women respond when you
tease them.
2) Go out to a place where there are a LOT of
women and put yourself in a location that is IN
THEIR WAY.
Here in Los Angeles we have night clubs for
people over the age of 18. Find one of these
clubs, and go stand by the bar, right where
there's the MOST traffic, so a lot of women bump
into you.
This will create all kinds of opportunities to
talk to women, and many of them will start talking
to you.
You'll get a lot of "excuse me" while they try
to get to the bar, etc.
Think of a few other ways to put yourself in
the paths of a lot of women, and go practice. Just
do it.
Your problem is all in your mind. You need to
get out there and see that this stuff works, so
you can believe in it.
***QUESTION FROM A WOMAN***
I need your advice:
I just recently met a guy (while he was going to a
business meeting) and I was just leaving my gym.
He asked me to have coffee, but I kind of
hesitated. I didn't go, however, I took his
business card.
A few days later I decided to email him...just to
say "hi."
We have been communicating via the net for a
couple weeks now. I also have had the opportunity
to meet him briefly for the first time to have
coffee. Then at another time I was with my
girlfriend...and he was also with us.
He seems like a nice guy, but I don't like the way
we met. It seemed like he was trying to pick me up
or something. What I am trying to say is that, had
the situation been different, like if we met
through friends or at work, I wouldn't have this
much negative thoughts about him.
Anyway, we were supposed to meet for dinner and a
movie, but then he called to tell me that he had a
migraine. He seems really interested in having me
go over to his place. Not knowing him well, I am
very afraid to do something of this nature... so I
declined his invitations without responding.
Furthermore, he'd called again and said that he
would love to see me. Again he asked me to go to
his place. He said that he would even come to pick
me up or have a taxi pick me up. This is very
insulting to me. I mean If I wanted to see
someone, I would drive to see him. Why did he have
to offer a taxi. I can't figure this guy out, but
I am very suspicious about the whole situation.
It seemed to me like the whole thing is bogus.
Please respond. I am in desperate need to find
out this guy's true intentions. Do I have the
right to feel this way, or am I just being too
cautios and paranoid?
Hope to hear from you soon.

>>>MY COMMENTS:
OK, I've included this email because I want to
show you something...
Namely, a great example of what's going on in
the mind of a "typical" woman.
Notice all of the suspicion, insecurity,
reading into the situation, attempts to decipher
intentions, etc.
One of the things I say is that women don't
take anything you say or do LITERALLY. They always
want to know what it "means".
I basically NEVER see emails like this from
guys.
Guys just want to know: Is she into me or not?
That's it.
Guys don't care if the woman was trying to
"pick them up" or whether they met at work or on
the street, or if she wants him to come over to
her house... EVER.
But women... women are completely different.
They are ALWAYS thinking about motives, details,
and "meaning".
What's my point?
Well, a lot of guys do things that make women
suspicious.
Or they do things that women read into and
instantly run from...
Or they do predictable, average things and say
predictable, average things that BORE women
because the woman interprets the man's actions as
AVERAGE AND UNINTERESTING.
You need to keep this stuff in mind.
This guy should have asked for her email FIRST
(asking her to coffee right on the spot was OK,
but since she didn't go for it, email would be the
right next step). Then he should have emailed a
day or two later and suggested a cup of tea. After
the tea, he should have invited her over to
continue the conversation, etc.
But he's not really paying attention to how a
woman might see his actions, and he's coming
across a little strange.
He's trying to get a woman who doesn't trust
him yet to come straight to his house... and it's
freaking her out.
Of course, there's a way to do this (I talk
about it in my book, of course), but he's not
doing it correctly.
This is another reason why I recommend that
guys avoid talking about work, family, school,
etc. If you talk about those things, you'll be
likely to come off as qualifying her for
marriage... which is a no-no early on.
If you tease, have fun, make fun, and stay
mysterious, then you'll create curiosity,
challenge, and mystery.
Every woman is different, and there is often a
fine line between being suspicious and being
interesting. But you need to know the difference,
and behave in a way that gets you the outcome you
want.
***QUESTION***
I have a few questions on the cocky + funny bit.
Ill get strait to the point, is it a good idea to
use sarcasm a lot? is it a bad idea to bust on
yourself in a sarcastic way? ex. you trip and
almost fall, then you say, "wow, im sure smooth
today" while laughing about it
does the Cocky in cocky + funny mean to brag about
yourself, or things youve done in a funny way? as
you can see Ive been having some trouble on this
approach. I have your book but still cant grasp
the whole attitude about it. oh and can you give
us a good C&F line when a woman says "shush" or
"shut up" while laughing. if yo have any more
advice man, id love to hear it, if i can get this
down, i will have greater succe ss then you have
given me
your awsome Dave, genius
>>>MY COMMENTS:
OK, Yes on the sarcasm. I love it.
I don't really make fun of myself a lot. I
think that it's better to accuse her of being the
cause of any mistakes you make, etc. If you trip,
say "You know, this doesn't happen when you're not
around... I think you're causing it" etc.
You can brag about yourself in a funny way...
that's great. If she likes your shirt, say "Yeah,
women are always trying to pick me up with those
cheesy lines."
If she says, "Shut up" while laughing, that's a
PERFECT opportunity to dial it up a notch and come
back with something even funnier... maybe, "You
love me" with a serious face.
You must remember that it HAS TO BE FUNNY.
You can say ANYTHING, as long as it's FUNNY.
Practice if you have to. Write things down... I
did. I still do, in fact.
Watch comedy on TV and in the movies. Notice
what's funny and what's not. Imitate others until
you get the hang of it.
You're doing fine... you'll have it soon!
***QUESTION***
David:
Your book has helped me live life in a great new
way- I went from not going to my senior prom to
getting e-mails from some of the most beautiful
girls on my campus (and I've only been here 3
days!) Thanks a ton.
I do have a question about two ideas in your book
that, at least in the manner in which I have
applied them, seem to contradict each other. You
say guys that argue a lot seem insecure, which I
certainly agree with. You then say that when a
woman says something you are doing is bothering
her, to instead of stopping to comply with her as
most guys would, to keep doing whatever bothers
her, and in fact "turn it up a notch". How do you
do this without the situation resulting in an
argument? I'd imagine humor would help, but could
take me through exactly how to make this work?
Thanks,
R.
>>>MY COMMENTS:
OK, arguing is when she says, "You know,
divorce is wrong", and you say, "No, it's not. In
fact, divorce is a very healthy thing for adults
to decide to do. There was a study in a recent
issue of Psychology Today that suggests that
children from divorced families make more money
than those that don't..."
Turning up something she just told you she
doesn't like is when you put on some Metallica and
she says, "Turn that off, I hate heavy metal" and
you turn it up a little and say, "Well you'd
better learn to like it, because I do"... then
turn it down a minute or so later.
Are you with me?
The first example (arguing) is insecure WUSSY
behavior, the second example is spanking her for
being bossy.
Get it?
Nice!
And great job with the babes on campus. It's
going to be a fun year for some women in your
area!

Hi dave, I dont have many success stories because
the first girl I met after I started using your
stuff is gorgeous, and we have been dating for 5
months now, she's a keeper. anyway, I am still
putting your techniques into practise and this
girl is buying me gifts every other week and she
still say she can't figure me out. I love keeping
her on her toes.
My question is this, what if a girl does something
to piss you off, how should you handle it and
still keep true to your priciples. On one hand if
i just say "thats ok, I don't mind" I am being
wussy, but if I get mad and give her sh** I am no
longer being indifferent. I think maybe teasing
her about it without actually showing that I am
displeased would be the right course of action,
please elaborate.

>>> MY COMMENTS:
DON'T BE A WUSSY.
I hate to say this, but women often do things
to piss you off JUST TO TEST YOU AND SEE IF YOU'LL
STAND UP AND BE A MAN.
Really.
Now, DON'T put on your wife beater, get drunk,
drive over to her trailer park and start hitting
her hat...
But, I think you catch my meaning.
Don't accept things that aren't acceptable.
Wow, profound. I know, I'm brilliant with the
obvious.
Be a man about it, don't be a little girl. Just
tell her to not do it anymore... don't whine and
complain.
You're in a relationship right now, but this
happens all the time with women that you've just
met. It's important to set your boundaries early,
because if you don't they'll turn into problems,
resentments, etc.
That dork, 'Dr. Phil' says, "Men don't get it,
but they can be trained".
Oh, I just love that kind of talk. Let's see...
a man who makes his money by saying things that
Oprah's audience of 50 million married overweight
WOMEN (who have nothing better to do than sit
around the house in the middle of the day watching
T.V.) will agree with... Hmm.
(I actually kind of like 'Dr. Phil'... don't
get me wrong... lol)
The truth is that A TRAINED MAN IS A WUSSY, AND
HE MIGHT AS WELL GET A RING PUT IN HIS NOSE AND
BUY HIS WOMAN A LEASH TO LEAD HIM AROUND.
Like I always say, you can be attractive
without being ABUSIVE. Be strong, fellow dude.
Avoid the temptation, when the tests come, to turn
into a WUSSY.
You know, it's difficult for me to get along in
this world with this problem I have of not saying
how I REALLY feel.
Great job finding a great gal... now do the
right things, and keep her.
Let me tell you something...
I spent YEARS trying to figure out how to be
successful with women and dating.
YEARS.
I read books, listened to tapes, went to
seminars... and tried all KINDS of things. I mean,
if you knew half of the stuff that I tried, you'd
laugh your ass off at me.
Most of it didn't work... and the stuff that
did work actually worked IN SPITE of the fact that
it was lame.
I mean, if you do ANYTHING it will work SOME of
the time.
I'm going to tell you something that is both
simple and profound at the same time.
If you will learn how to be a MAN, then most of
the "other stuff" will take care of ITSELF.
Really.
In fact, after spending years and years of my
life learning how to attract women, I finally
realized that most men have never learned what it
means to "be a man".
It's crazy, actually.
The kicker is that a mature, interesting,
attractive woman knows INSTANTLY if she's dealing
with a "real man"... or if she's dealing with a
"WussBoy".
So my question to you is: What are YOU
communicating to the women you're interacting
with?
Man?
WussBoy?
Ass-kisser who's beyond all help?
I hope not.
If this is making sense to you, and you'd like
to learn how to develop the MAN side of
yourself... so you project this amazing POWER to
women... then you MUST get your hands on a copy of
my "On Being A Man... Who Naturally Attracts
Women" program.
Inside, I face this problem of "missing
manhood" HEAD ON.
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that
this program is all fun and games. And it's also
not full of techniques for "picking up chicks".
In fact, this program is ALL about YOU.
It's all about understanding the reasons why we
have NOT grown into MEN... and how to FIX the
problem for yourself.
I'd love to sit here and tell you all about it,
but it's better if you go read about it for
yourself, and watch some video clips of the
program. You can go check it out here:

If you'd like to get a broad introduction to my
most powerful concepts, PLUS get some great
techiques for overcoming fear, approaching women,
getting dates, and taking things to a "physical"
level, then you need to check out my Advanced
Dating Techniques DVD/CD program.
The thing that makes my Advanced Program
different from all the other stuff out there is
that it's BASED on watching and learning from guys
who are "naturally" good with women.
The experience that REALLY took my success to a
high level was watching, learning from, imitating,
testing and refining what I learned from these
guys.
In fact, I invited several of my friends who
were the MOST influential on me to participate in
the live seminar that was edited into the Advanced
Dating Techniques program. And when you listen to
it, you'll watch and/or hear me interviewing five
of them LIVE.
You know, one of the funniest experiences I've
had is looking back on all the various techniques
that I tried before I "got it" with women... and
laughing to myself at how stupid most of it was.
Fortunately, by doing those things, I learned a
lot... and I developed a ton of fantastic
theories, methods, and systems that get RESULTS.
I've worked hard to create a great set of tools
and techniques, and a logical way to learn them,
understand them, and start using them.
If you want to check out some great free
samples of this program, go here:

my online eBook, you need to do that RIGHT NOW.
You can download it to your computer and be
