    Make sure your back is straight and knees are bent

    Rule #1: If you can't lift her, don't shift her.

    Ok so here's the situation me and long term girlfriend broke up about 6months ago and before we were together I pulled more women than Hugh Hefner but since we broke up, on nights out my game is non existent , I still pull one or two on a night out but I'm not working for it , it just happens , I'm not a bad looking lad but I feel I've lost a awful lot of confidence on approaching women that I don't know , so what's your approach on a night out (a girls opinion would also be great!)
    Thanks in advance :D

    That's not enough, no? :confused:

    Use a cart myself. They're easier to push than to lug her around over yer shoulder like.

    I'd suggest not talking,

    that way they won't find out about your childish need to boast until its too late.

    Haha was a joke tbh , point is I was better with women a few years ago than I use to be .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭Hardonraging


    Be you're self ... ahh i'm just kidding,



    Be a complete ****, the cockier the better, show no interest in who she is or where she's from.. just basically tell her out right, you wanna tap it...


    Guaranteed winner or your money back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,584 ✭✭✭PCPhoto


    what exactly do you mean by "pull" ... normally its the woman doing the pulling !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,605 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Maybe after getting to know a woman as a person and not just something to dip parts of your body into, you're finding it psychologically more difficult to treat them as objects

    Don't worry, this will pass.

    My prescription, 2 copies of Nuts magazine (after meals) and a 'weekly sport' before bed. You'll soon be back to your meaningless casual degradation of other human beings (with real feelings)

    Does dancing hard not scream "CREEP" ? Lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,584 ✭✭✭PCPhoto


    Seriously though if you are talking about just kissing - you need to seriously learn about life as an adult - if you are talking about getting a roide (Yes I spelled it like that for effect) then I doubt you are getting one or two in a night out !!

    No no you assume I meant getting the ride , who's to say I'm not a 12 year old ;) (I'm not btw)

    That is actually true :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭SoundFella


    And I think a lot of you are picking me up wrong , my last relationship ended badly and my confidence with women is rock bottom as well as on a personal level so I'm actually asking for some genuine advice on women (and not cocky responses)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭SunnyDub1


    Man up and approach a girl by saying Hi and maybe offer her a drink.

    One thing that really bugs me about Irish men is they feel the need to be sh*t faced to approach a woman and the majority of them make an absolute twat out of them selves :rolleyes:

    I'm sure a lot of other woman will agree with me when I say that a simply "Hi, how are you etc" (small talk) is the simple, best and nicest way to get any ones attention.

    No one wants a messy drunk blabbering pure s*it to you - Big turn off !!

    That may work in whatever 'Sex & the City' world you live in, however, that approach usually ends in something like the following.

    Man: Hi there, nice to meet you etc.
    Woman: ENGAGE PEPPERSPRAY
    Woman: "WHAT A CREEP!"

    You'd be better off being a complete cock.

    I dont mean to be rude but...


    Saying things like: I pulled more women than Hugh Hefner

    That is just so cocky and self centered... So coming from a 26 yr old woman: DROP THAT ATTITUDE!!


    It's just a little tip because I dont know any women that would be attracted to a man who comes out with a statement like that!!

    Good luck on your quest anyways :D

    Edit: Just saw that you were joking PHEW!!! Haha!



    Honestly? Dont use chat up lines, dont be jittery and nervous women can smell fear a mile away!
    Even if you're not a good listener PRETEND you are :D

    I notice you said your confidence is shot to pieces as a result of a previous relationship... stop thinking like that! Get you mojo back even if you have to do a few practice runs first!! ;)

    This is the advice so far and very true , with drink does come confidence and I think that's the problem lol , I'm not a strong drinker so the confidence has to come from somewhere else , thanks for that piece enjoyed it :)

    The last time I tried that approach with a woman I didn't even get a polite hi. I just got a look like I imagine she heard me ask if I could just get the roide right there.

    Fill out your wallet with padding so it's about 2 inches thick and is easily seen in your pocket.

    That's how Hugh Hefner pulled so much, he had a fat wallet, 'cept it was stuffed with $100 notes. And he was (is) verrryyyy generous to the right people. Like, more than a can of bud and a bag of chips.

    Back in the single days I always adopted this attitude - aim to go out to have a bit of craic & look like you are out having fun (women do seem to pick up on this). Dont be looking shifty and serious and out for the sole purpose of picking someone up. Get up and dance (if others are dancing!) and appear chatty and good humoured.

    If you see someone you like, drop in a random observation that is funny or interesting you see in the bar etc. Or you could drop a line in about the song playing in the background. Make a quick fire statement instead of trying to think of a question to ask as its way less scary I found. If shes interested, the conversation should get going. But look confident. Easier said than done but confidence is key.

    If the conversation does get going, ask them questions, yak about light hearted stuff, dream holidays, parachutes jumps, worst birthday present you ever got, funny stories etc etc (keep them fairly brief). Try not too appear to clingy. Dont just drop you mates completely, bounce off them as the night goes on and include her mates also if possible.

    Remember we all get shot down, ive been there a 1000 times. Just gotta roll the sleeves up and plough on.

    Maybe the few that are "rude" are just so use to drunken messy idiots approaching them with ****ty chat up lines and when they refuse to entertain them they get abuse hurled at them :rolleyes:
