It's important to note that for some people being an asshole in the "right" way is damn near impossible. I'm naturally kind of a dick to all my friends, in a jokey way, but it's never made any of my female friends or acquaintances attracted to me - because it's based on insecurity and not confidence. I started experimenting with doing it on purpose to different degrees, and it just doesn't work for someone like me.

Being stand-offish works for lots of people because it suggests confidence and yeah, people want what they can't have. But if you don't have that natural level of confidence behind it, people will see right through it. So all I wound up with was a bunch of girls who started trying to be a dick right back, just to keep up. You have to work on how you see yourself, not on how you think others see you.

You can manipulate your attractiveness to a degree through your behaviour, but if you aren't at all "attractive" to begin with it isn't going to help you much. Plus, having to think about how I act isn't what I want to do. I just want to be myself.

I think you make some good points on being a "dick". The point however, is initial attraction. Eventually, you have to be you. If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. The point to being a "dick" is attraction. Then you show your cards so to speak. If it works out, it works out, if it doesn't , it doesn't. That is the way it is. Trial and error, just like everything else. It isn't easy.

Heh.

I think it's part luck and part personality and part attractiveness.

Not single female is alike. You know why?

Because none of them know what the **** they want.

Yea no kidding. I actually my notepad out and everything, something I haven't done in any of my college classes so far.

[Above was sarcasm people. But I do want to read what cubsfan has to say.]

Buying a "How to Seduce Women" self help book and quoting it doesn't constitute an outlook on relationships.

You want to look for "How to 69 with yourself" for the real advice.

I came into this topic expecting a topic on being an alpha male and taking leadership roles in life.

Instead I am hit with this dating age nonsense.

Being a "Dominant Male" is one thing. Most women in the world actually like a guy who "Is in Charge". But...and here's the big BIG BUT part of it.... there is a difference between being a "Dominant Male" and just being a "Controlling Prick".

When you're the Dominant Male in the relationship, it doesn't say that you're completely devoid of any kind of rationality in discussion. It doesn't mean that you're beyond being a compassionate individual that loves his wife and kids. Quite the opposite is true. What it does mean is that many of the "demasculating ideals" of the last 30 years aren't in place here with men of this persuasion. They actually harken back to an era of qualities that generations of men & women actually thought very highly of & aspired to attain, whether it was the man becoming like his father before him, or the woman marrying the man who is just like her own father.

In the end, it is what I said earlier: Dominant Male, *not* Controlling Prick. Big differences there.

You can rent it though.

I've always failed to see the point in wasting time with those pick up books. They don't tell you anything you don't already know.

This topic makes me glad I'm gay.

I've always been the alpha type. Can't help it. I intimidate people.
