Gina Stewart

Gina Stewart

Reader Question: I’ve developed a crush on the girl where I get my hair cut. My first concern is asking her out where she works, as I don’t want to embarrass her while she’s on the job. Second is I’d like to avoid any awkward tension the next time I get a haircut should she say no. Third is when to ask her out. I got my hair cut recently, so I won’t need another trim for about a month. I’m sure barging into the...

Finding the Receptive Women at the Bar
Robert Rodriguez

Robert Rodriguez

It’s a pretty important skill to be able to identify receptive women at a bar. There have been many times when I have walked into a bar, spotted the most receptive women and ended up making out with them within less than a minute of saying hi to them. There are two aspects to spotting receptive women in a bar. The first is knowing the signs and the second is having the reference experiences to be able to be more...

Elizabeth Cole

As we walked through the men at the casino with my two girlfriends, this cute little Mexican girl stepped in the middle of our path with her camera. “Can you take a picture of me with my guy friends?” she asked. “Sure!” Sonia said. I could feel the intense stares from the men. We snapped the picture and walked away. Then we walked over to the bar and ordered a glass of wine. As I turned around, the little Mexican...

5 Types of Girls You’ll Run Into & How to Get Them
Justin Wayne

Justin Wayne

I want to break down a subject that always seems to be up for debate amongst pickup artists, aka PUAs: Are all girls the same? Men spend years trying to crack the secret code of the female species, but it’s just not that simple. Some guys really believe females are females and all respond the same way. While at face, good game will attract every type of female. In reality, not all of them are the same. That would...

Lose the Pickup Lines
Troy Spry

Troy Spry

"Your feet must be hurting because you've been running through my mind all day!" Or how about this one, "You must be from Tennessee because you're the only 10 I see." Those are two common (and corny) pickup lines that will probably get you laughed at and labeled as lame. It seems like the art of approaching a woman has been lost and has turned into a game of cat and mouse. As confident as men claim to be, one of...

In the last few years, "Mad Men" has been the inspiration for players everywhere.

Reader Question: I met this guy I knew in high school. I told him about the program I was promoting. He acted interested and signed up for the newsletter with his phone number.

I don't want to seem...

How Men Want You to Flirt
Hunt Ethridge

Hunt Ethridge

I love flirting. It’s so much fun! It’s playful and provocative and makes you feel good. But sometimes, as a woman, it can be confusing. You’re getting conflicted reports of “Make Him Come to You” and “It’s the New Millennium. Go Get Him!” If you don’t go flirt with him, he may never get up the courage to come talk to you. If you do go flirt with him, is it going to come across as too forward? So what is the right...

One-night stands are good fun. I personally like them because you take a girl from hello to sex in a couple of hours, and this really makes you feel like you have game. The truth is one-night stands are great for everyone involved because it basically gives two people the opportunity to fulfill their primal urges without any drama. Does it happen a lot?

Man Crush Monday
David Wygant

David Wygant

I read on one of the major search engines about a new social media trend called “Man Crush Monday.” Every Monday, people post about their favorite man crush. When I read it, I thought to myself, “What is wrong with our society?” Man crush was one of the first things Chris Carter and other guys would use as a joke on their radio shows and ESPN. They made jokes about having man crushes and how they wanted to be the...

How to Get Women at Parties
Alex Matlock

Alex Matlock

I always like going to parties because I almost never go home empty-handed. What’s so great about parties is everyone assumes they know each other through common friends. If you’re at a party and are approaching random girls, they won’t be so quick to reject you because you must be at least decent, since you know the same people (hosts). With that in mind, I want to share a couple of things I always do that help me...

How to Make a Guy Want You More
Melany Wynn Berger

Melany Wynn Berger

There are a few answers to the question “How do I make a guy want me more?” and one is to act like you don’t care and have something and someone better to do. I know this seems cliche, but trust me when I tell you that if the chase only lasts for a month, the guy will surely get bored and move on to the next conquest with a better tail. I wish I could say I listened to my own advice. But it is much harder than it...

Why Failure Helps You Succeed with Women
Alex Matlock

Failing at anything in life is not that great. It doesn’t make you feel good, and the only thing you want after you’ve failed is to get rid of that bad feeling inside you. But if we never failed, we would never learn anything. This isn’t just about hooking up with women. Sure, failing is necessary for a guy who wants to get better at scoring, but it transcends that.

What to Do When You Meet Shy Women
Scot McKay

Scot McKay

I spend a fair share of time helping normal guys everywhere combat shyness. After all, when you get down to it, shyness is a certain reticence on someone’s part to be social. For us as guys, shyness really is the proverbial kiss of death when it comes to success with women. Sure, you might hear from certain women here and there that shy men are cute or endearing. But withstanding those rare instances, I think...

What is the Secret of Attraction?
Chris Shepherd

Chris Shepherd

One of the most common questions I get from guys I am teaching is probably the most basic: What are women really attracted to? Let's be honest, what men are attracted to is pretty straightforward. Guys might differ in their particular tastes, but most guys know what qualities in a woman turn them on and what qualities turn them off. With women, attraction is more complex. Some women will find a man attractive from...
