Exactly. The problem with a lot of guys on here is that they treat women as if they were fertility goddesses or something. And women hate that. For the secret of women is that they want to be adored, but they despise being worshipped.

So it's more important to treat them as living, breathing human beings. And the more you stress about finding the perfect line or getting her number, the less likely you'll be to accomplish either.

Heck, when I met my wife, I was just telling a funny story at a party to someone else I just me. I wasn't there to meet anyone or go home with anyone.
In my experience, if I talked to a woman just to talk to her, and she didn't shoot me down immediately, the result was the eternal friendzone. Nothing else ever happened. Some guys just are not attractive to women.

Well, at some point you've got to pick up the pace, man. During that conversation, she'll give you the go/no go signal. If you miss it, that's your fault.

I don't know if I've gotten the go. I know I've gotten the no go. Have I missed a go? I have no idea whatsoever.
