I have to say, the one time I successfully tried some of the techniques I learned from these books was on a girl who I met thru eharmony. Of course she was fatter and older than her picture, but I decided to 'play' with her based on the PUA techniques since her personality did interest me.

Well, wouldn't you know it but at the end of our first coffee date, it was SHE who kissed me first! This was the FIRST TIME this had ever happened to me.

Had I been less disgusted with her on the second date, I probably could have played her into sex. But she was fatter than her photo, which turned me off. Obviously her younger years, the ones where players bedded her without her lifting a finger, had been played out and she was now desperately looking for anyone to love her.

Well, I spotted her a year later at a coffeehouse and she looked as alone with her female friend as ever.

So I had helped kill two birds with one stone. Based on the PUA techniques I could have had her. After me, (she admitted I was the only one that interested her on eharmony, which she quit right before meeting me) she probably figured out nobody wants her anymore, so she does not go out at all with any guys.

PERFECT! I leveled the playing field a bit!

Guys, Mystery and his ilk is the PERFECT weapon for snotty entitled chicks, who spurned us better men in their younger years, to learn they are not superior to us men after all and that we men did not forget when these chicks snubbed us for the players who used and abandoned these girls. LOL!

Makes me WANT to go out and play some more, come to think of it.

is considered an insult to most women these days

is not responsible for the erosion of our civil rights, for an illegal and disastrous war, for taking our nation to the brink of bankruptcy, for unprecedented levels of corruption and secrecy, and for rigged (s)elections?

Like the renter who told me she would accuse me of sexual assault if I did not let her stay in the house rent free. Then she said she was "only joking". Yeah, I laughed...

the guy is really pathetic, and I feel for his wife

You have it backwards buddy.

He is doing the best he knows in the best way he knows how- the poor guy would do better, but was never taught to make things happen for him sexually. What is she doing but sitting idly by, knowing the answer to the conundrum and wating to bail on him?

Have some sympathy for YOUR SEX instead of always trying to weasel into some woman's pants by pretending to care about the plight of this woman.

People ARE having sex in this country? I wouldn;t know it from personal experience ;)

she can shave off her hair in empathy.

OK for WOMEN to want a wife, but everytime I ever hear about the issue, men seem to be shamed by women into not wanting a wife. I do not want a wife, too much overhead and grief and you never know when she is finally going to stab you in the back when you are not looking (figuratively, usually).

But I find it funny that women will blame men for some straw man argument, then in short order take on the same objective themselves, almost like they hope men wanting or being something wiol absolve the women's own want for the same thing.

This seems to work regardless of the subject, for instance a recent science article decried WOMEN for actually being the ones to judge men EVEN MORE quickly and superficially than men judge women. Of course all the ample and vociferous femi-rhetoric would have had you believe the opposite was true and that men were the shallower ones.

Just saying. In the end, it seems women cause themselves the majority of their problems and grievances and sorrows because they refuse to 'own' any problem they are faced with.

some women do not count it as a sex partner when they are sex touristing thru Italy or Spain. Or else they do not count lesbian sex as sex. Or else they refuse to count one night stands as sex (this last one would really bring up the average).

Men on the other hand do not have a tendency to count as sex a situation that is not 'all the way' in the first place. Generally, most guys in a relationship WILL get sex out of it, so there is no fudging based on only having gotten to third base for instance before the relationship ends.

Women too have more to 'lose' in their minds by reporting numbers accurately since they regard ANYONE knowing their true number as being a failing of their's socially. Men these days are less likely to exaggerate their numbers, since many men give little regard to such polls in the first place, and have little interest in impressing an acne faced college psych kid actually doing the polling.

Also, I cannot imagine some of the girls I have known, with the 'boyfriend of the night' syndrome EVER reporting anywhere near the hundreds or thousands of men they have actually had over the years. I have little problem imagining many equally slutty men NOT exaggerating their numbers though.

So I think we can skew the average numbers (by averaging the two sexes) up more towards the men's end than we can lower the average towards women.
