I wouldn't say I'm a Mack of the Year 2010 candidate, but I have pulled 2 girls who were significantly taller than I this year. According to the other guy that tried to take the first one while I was in set, these girls we're "way out of ny league."

I really respect your writing but this is another instance where the game is played out differently in the flesh.

Another excellent column. Far too many guys overemphasize game and don't give enough attention to low-key confidence, a sense of humor and strong, solid body language. Aloof but with a sense of humor works well for me with just making new friends, let alone meeting women.

Confidence with a sense of humor and solid body language that comes from internal values will beat canned lines and attention-grabbing routines. Most women can see the difference between the confident guy and the 'gaming guy' who struggles internally with his confidence.

Whenever I'm out at a club and I get approached by a guy who is more than just buzzed, it's pretty much a no. The varying factor is how nice I am to him, or how often I slide in my little quips that he can't keep up with because he's fuzz-brained.

"And of course, almost every guy reading this will say that he drinks but doesn't get drunk, he uses lines but they aren't obvious, and that he just speaks his mind but he isn't a douchebag. And there lies the fundamental problem. Of course you don't see it, but what you see doesn't matter. What matters is what women see. Women get approached by enough men to know when one has been drinking too much, is using lines/routines, or is being arrogant."
Exactly.
