If I watched those kinds of movies, I'd probably want to kill myself. Just sayin'.

I couldn't get pity sex in college:sick:

I do believe books and movies can help to a certain extent, tho. Well, help some people.

Coming out of semi-LS retirement just to say me neither. I even went to college 5 years instead of the standard 4 and still couldn't get anything.

 

Interestingly enough though, I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood movies and The Duke (John Wayne for those who don't know). I'm one of the more manly men that I know. Just 110% shy around women, particularly single ones.

Men read PUA forums; it's the equivalent of relationship books for women.

 

It is filled with tips how to get women and many guys post topics about how women they slept with and if the last one did anal and swallowed.

 

I'm not kidding. Google "attract women forums" or "pua forums". The main goal is to get laid obviously.

 

So, what resource is available for men who want relationships and not just sex?

Beats me. There's not many men who want real relationships so there aren't any real products marketed for them. Most men want sex. Men in relationships also want sex (but with other women besides their gf or wives). It's all about new conquests for most guys.

 

It was more a rhetorical question, but fair enough. I suppose part of being manly is desiring sex with as many women as possible...(*again rhetorical statement*)

Seriously? Then most of us women must really be wasting our time.

I want a relationship. That is why I don't read Pickup forums.

 

I'm sorry, but I am happy with the way I am. I don't want to be a "more manly" man, I find most men who act that way are creeps. I don't want to be a creep.

 

If I have to compromise who I am, to become something I'm not, I'm never going to be happy. Single or not. I'd rather be single than turn into Clint ver. 2.0.

I am me. That is simply who I am.

 

What would I do? I'd go up to her, say "Hi, I'm [name here], [insert random witty line here that I would think up.]"

 

Then I would wait for her to respond. If she gives me a sneer, she's not interested. If she smiles and responds back, she's interested.

 

The problem isn't having a conversation. Like I've said before, I have no problem with social skills. I have great social skills, when I'm not anxious or having a panic attack.

 

You see, I underlined the important part. I can flirt with and have fun with girls I'm not interested in dating. Put interest there, though, and I start to panic, every single time.

 

I could be Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt, whatever you like. It doesn't matter, though, if Clint Eastwood or Brad Pitt starts stammering and blushing when he goes up to you, though.

There you go judging a book by its cover. I have been watching this thread but I want to inform you of something. You have no concept of the benefits of mastering the art of becoming a pick up artist. The number one goal of working to become a pick up artist is to what? What is the number one thing that women are attracted to in men? Anyone?

 

Its called confidence. Just because you see 17-21 year old kids posting on pua forums doesnt mean there arent older people out there doing it the right way. Contrary to your one sided views, there are women out there that just want to have sex and not be in a relationship.

 

I learned, studying, practiced and found out more about MYSELF by doing this then any book could ever teach me. I turned "The Game" ideals into me and I built a deep inner game better then anything that book has ever seen. I did this for 3 years. It's not about just sex or getting phone numbers. Its about challenging yourself into creating new goals better then old goals and going out and actually accomplishing them. Once you did this with women, you took what you learned and put it into the next level into your business life, your relationship life and your personal life.

 

Not only that, it has helped me learn about the many many many many different types of women there are out there and which ones are the ones that are relationship material, and which ones you should always run from.

I honestly laughed at this. Ok so you want a relationship, good. You have to get from point a to point b... how are you going to do it. In order to do it, you have to chase at some point. Do you know what the best pickup line in the world is? Its actually "Hi" If you have used this before, congratulations, you are on your way to becoming a pickup artist and you just dont even know it.

 

The part I laughed at is you have no concept of what you want. You just want a relationship. With who? what type of person? How are you going to get into this relationship, by reading books? or by going out and "picking up" a girl? Hmmm interesting concept. Thats fine but remember, when you get your heart broken and you come post on my other expertise forum "Breaks and Breaking up" you are going to say I dont want a relationship ever again, it hurts. Guess what thread I am going to link you to ;)

 

While I will admit, I dont have the best relationship track record, I am out there doing it my best to get it right. I am not reading any books. I am using what I have learned from my own experience to one day get this right.

Its not about conquests for guys that get their fill of fast sex. The books are to help guys understand women better so that they can either have fast sex, or get the relationship they want. After a while, and i know about this, fast sex gets old if its with women who you cant relate to.

 

There are guys who SAY they want to improve, but they really dont. Excuses, excuses. It looks pretty pathetic in print. they want to stay blissfully ignorant, and want to make excuses for not wanting to change, but it all comes down to the same thing with them, they are lazy.
