i dont see how thats supposed to work... pay an attractive *woman* to make connection with other attractive women? 😕

I think this is a repost. But it's definitely a neat idea. I've had hot female friends that would go hang out with me, but they were mostly cock blockers. :|

It works. If women see you with women, they get interested.

i thought the women would just think "he's taken, off limits, go find someone else"

Nope.

I've known single guys that wear wedding rings to attract women.


Women are STRANGE creatures.

(I still like them though 🙂 )

It goes something closer to: "He's taken, I wonder what he's got. It can be mine."

They think:

The more you learn about them, the more you don't understand.

Those weren't blanket statements, but accurate generalizations. Women are competitive and curious creatures. Use it to your advantage. 😉

Hang out with people, especially women. Always look like you're having fun. Ooze confidence. And remember that women are just people. 😉

Nope 🙂 They all want what they think they can't have 😀

Women can see a butt ugly guy with a beautiful woman, and it stirs their curiosity.

Some have different motives...

Some see it as....well, the guy obviously has $$$$
or
The guy might be great in bed
or
The guy is just a really nice guy

It really depends on how she acts around the guy. A woman who is paid to be his companion
is obviously going to pretend that he is God's gift and she is good at her job and also well worth the money.

His self esteem will get a big boost out of it
high self esteem = profit!
attracting other women = profit!

Win win situation all around

Amaazing

 

[nageov3t]

it raises a good point.

it seems like whenever I'm involved with someone, women start coming out of the woodwork to try and hook up :/ if only they were there when I was single too. heh.

This is why the scheme will not work.

Hell yeah. I've hooked up with women while outside NY on vacation about as often as I have in NY, and I'm outside of NY like 1/100th of the time.

Edit: And yes, this number is > 0. 🙂
