Good advice. I just want to add that I think men get the idea that they can "win over" a woman's heart because they see it happen successfully the moves, but it's simply not true in REAL LIFE.

In fact, I HATE romance moves because they distort reality for men and women. I mean, why in the world do so many women really think there is living, breathing, prince charming? So many women have kicked decent guys to the curb all because he did not live up to their fantasy.

All you can do is be yourself and hope for the best.
The stigma is vastly different. A woman can proudly proclaim that she's a gold digger and she will get approval (at least from other women who are like her) and help to find rich men, on the other hand, men who are genuine creeps are ostracized from society and they are treated like scum.

Really, when is the last time a woman got arrested on the suspicion for being a gold digger?


Books to help women find rich men:

The Art of Gold Digging by Tariq Nasheed

It does help. Long time ago a woman I was interested in flat out told me my teeth needed braces so she turned me down over that.

I got my braces ( and teeth whitened) and my smile is 1000X better! I wish I could meet the lady today and thank her.

But by all means, if a man is being rude then just leave. He's doing himself the disservice.

Your rants are anything but misogynistic. You, along with myself at times display anger which is a legitimate, valid, appropriate response to some form of injustice.

The injustice in this case is being labeled a creep, or being unfairly accused of sexual harassment for simply approaching women that we desire.

The Art of Flirting is really no more than The Art Of Conversation. I'm amazed at how few men are good conversationalists. Most of them know how to talk about business, their golf game, and what they saw on ESPN last night. And that's it. C'mon guys. Read more books. Travel. Try a few different things. Life's a banquet and you poor sons of ******* are starving to death.

lol......

Well of course people talk a lot and well enough about stuff they do and what they are interested in.

I'm mean its just a matter of simple small talk or finding a better circle of people who share the same interest.

I don't think you need to be the worlds most interesting man be good at small talk.

ps. My mother is not a @#$%&

Hahahah.

Your point is well-taken. But, c'mon. Lots of guys on this message board whine all the time about how they can't get a woman interested in them. I bet if we tape recorded their forays, it would likely reveal some boring-assed conversationalists. I mean, I don't care how good looking you are. If all you've got is sports and what you did at the office that day, she's going to lose interest in a hurry. Maybe not after the first date. But soon enough.

And that's because in American culture these are the only avenues were men are able to talk freely about how they truly feel and not have any fear of being reprimanded for saying the wrong thing.

For example, ANY criticism against women (even if it's valid!) and you will be placed in the misogynistic category. Any shots against religion and people will believe you're some devil worshiper and that you're going to hell. Any comments about a specific race and you're thrown into the raciest category.

Americans are just a bunch of people who either can't take a joke, or they take things too seriously, so Americans are only confined to talk about neutral subjects such as the weather, or sports, which pretty much explains why America is such a BORING, depressing, brain dead country.


Oh how I long to move to Europe to get away from this .......
