Yep...all he had to do was just get up the guts to TALK...GOD knows he was told that endless times here. Apparently he wanted someone to script him a success story. As if.

I just saying, when a woman does those things like putting on makeup and doing their hair or wearing a push-up bra or revealing clothes, they are, as you said "put[ting] them or [themselves] in a position to be seen as something else."

A woman at 9 PM is not the same woman at 9 AM.

Girls/women's magazines are loaded with tonnes of articles on how to attract men or to get what they want out of a relationship, even if it's not necessarily beneficial to the man.

Why is it wrong for a man to learn the same?

Well, we've discussed that method before. It does have some valid points.

Duh. Have you ever picked up a MEN'S magazine?? Are you for freakin' real? Cuz I just have a hard time believing that anyone is this stupid.

A train wreck doesn't even last THIS long.

Why can't people just be themselves? What is there to gain, by being something like a facade?
How can one get what they want by being the very thing they don't want?

When you say things "don't work"...what is your goal?

The only 21 year olds who will want you at 41 are the ones who want your wallet.

Once again, I was never told I had to talk to a girl Over the Shoulder (body facing 45 degrees away from her with my face turned towards her) or that I should use False Time Constraints, or use Opinion Openers, or Neg (tease) the girl, or win the trust of her friends before I even talk to the one I'm interested. I was never told how to effectively and gracefully Demonstrate Higher Value (convey your qualities WITHOUT bragging).

I was told to waste money on dance classes and drinks.

I am a woman, and I wouldn't go to dance classes!
One of my friends, who is married, went to a dance class when single, and she said they had to partner up women with women, because there weren't enough men there!

Can't say I've read any girl's/women's mags.

You're comparing true manipulation tactics on psychology to giving completely physical characteristics a touch-up to physically appear better.

Men do this as well. Think I look the same as I do now layin' mah chubby butt on my couch as I do once I've showered, shaved, groomed and dressed myself?

Gleaning why something is successful, recognizing aspects of it, is a far cry from using tactics to get someone in the sack, then eventually them finding out what you're saying/doing isn't actually you.

I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm not saying it doesn't have some weird merit. I am saying I find it sad that it would work, for them and you. You might get a more normal sex life from it, but I doubt the women that are taken in will be better off for it, or you're warped sense of how you then identify with them due to it working.

What is really sad here is how ridiculous you sound.
