Five female-approved pick-up tips we recommend every man follow.
Our good friends Em & Lo informed us yesterday that a wedding band is the #1 male power accessory needed to lure in the ladies. The Frisky: 5 Horrifying Things You'll Learn When Moving In With A Guy
Indeed, a recent study at Oklahoma State University confirms what legions of men have sworn since the beginning of time—women are twice as likely to want a relationship with a man who's already taken. The Frisky: 40 Things Every Woman Should Do Before She Turns 40
While we can't speak for all women on those allegations, we've crafted a single guy checklist that we think works as well (if not better!) than a wife or fiancee sleeping at home. Don't forget these must-have items the next time you go out on the town looking for love.
1.) Eye Contact: We're aware of how basic this sounds. Almost in the same league as "say hello" but we cannot stress enough how often this simple social pleasantry is butchered.

2.) A Nice Scent: Please approach cologne like you would flattery. Laying it on thick seems tacky and don't go for cheap and obvious. A light spritz is all it takes to let us know you've entered our space. The Frisky: How to Handle Being The Other Woman
3.) The International Signal For 'Back Off:' We suddenly have to pee. We text and a friend appears. We scoot away, mentioning a purse, bag, bartender, ATM, a slice of pizza that needs to be found/retrieved/eaten. We want to leave. And we're trying to be polite. Please take the hint. Thanks.

4.) An Attentive Ear: We want to know all about why you think Obama's healthcare plan sucks, your musical gripes with the Arctic Monkeys, and how your neighborhood has the best Thai in the whole city. Really. We do. But if we're rattling on about the epiphany we had while backpacking through Greece, PIPE DOWN AND LISTEN. Refer to #1. Wait for a pause, another beat for good measure, and then politely work in your opinions about hostels in Amsterdam. The Frisky: Crush of the Day: Sam Kass, White House Assistant Chef

No point in dating someone who doesn't listen and only talks about himself or herself. Might as well move on.
International signal for back off??? ON THE CONTRARY: these are signs that a girl is PLAYING GAMES!!!!
I know girls that gave me the "cold shoulder" but then we ended up dating soon after!!!!!!!!!!!! They told me that they were just "TESTING ME" in the beginning : )
whoa, buddy. women have been doing things that they'd rather not for less precious things than someone else's feelings. did you really think that because some "undesirable" guys are t in a sea of excuses, lies and alibies that a woman had to have been the one to put them there? some of them may have been taken advantage of, but we have our own issues too.
JUST LIKE YOU. but you do make a valid point about the truth. anytime you don't feel attraction to someone, you should not drag them along for the ride.
RE: The International Signal For 'Back Off'
In situations such as these, this is where once again word play comes in, to counter her games, excuses, lies, smoke screens, and overall typically BS women like to feed the average frustrated chump.
Never fight what she gives you, use it (#1 and #4 :) ). This is where saying:
"I understand completely. You have to go. You would love to continue to explore this conversation/connection further, but for reasons given (suddenly have to pee, a friend appears, mentioning a purse, bag, bartender, ATM, a slice of pizza that needs to be found/retrieved/eaten) you have to go?"
Her reply of course will always be yes, because she's looking for her out... And you're giving it to her...
Then you counter with:
"Great! Since you agreed you would love to continue, and I hate to leave things unfinished myself, when and/or what works best for you?"
And now, you have her. She must either fess up, lie, or be dumbstruck for words.
In either case, she may have been tryin to be and i quote, "polite." But you have just let her know you dont eat female BS. In any case, if she offers a counter offer you know will never happen, you can walk away with your dignity in-tack by saying:
"Why lie? We both know you wanted to go, and you have no intentions of seeing me again. Nevermind anyway I retract my interest... I don't date liars anyhow." Then walk away smiling.
:)
Sometimes.... (often actually) she'll even follow you and give you a phone number and/or counter offer. Women love a man who won't eat her BS.
I don't understand why #3 is on this list. The article is titled "5 Things Single Women Can't Resist
-- Five female-approved pick-up tips we recommend every man follow."
Item #3 seems to say that women find it irresistable when we men understand that they're making a polite attempt to resist us without hurting our feelings. How exactly is this a recommended "pick-up tip" that will make a man irresistable to women?
If putting this item on this list was an attempt at clever humor or irony, It missed the mark. Please try to stick with your premise.
The International Signal For 'Back Off"?????
Uhm excuse me but I cannot relate to the so called, The International Signal For 'Back Off". Unless she is totally uneducated or is not familiar with the English language, what the hell is wrong with just telling the truth? Whats wrong with being up front by saying, Look, I don't want to hurt your feeling but to be honest I am just not interested, but good luck on your search.
And leave it at that. Why do women force undesirable men into a sea of excuses, lies and Alibies? I don't get it? Why do most women expect men to read minds,smoke signals, and cheesy excuses?
Is it because women are so weak that they themselves can't bare to tell the truth to a guy they
just met? Seems to me if she will lie out of the gate, she will surely lie once inside the corral.
Geeez Not only are they totally lacking charactor, morals and words, They even expect men to go along with this evil....... It's really sad the world has come to this....
Men do this all the time when they find out that they cant get what they want in a certian amount of time, but they do it in a more evil way, they just drop the girl with out any word of why. suddenly he wont call, or txt or email you any more, and he wont answer your call, txts, or emails either, he will totally change everyting just so he cant come in contact with you any more.
Wow, this is o basic, as if there are men dumb enough to not know this. Basic hygiene? who needs to be told that?
