Doesn’t it feel better to see the light? But we wont be “sending” anyone, you still gotta go out and find them. I hate to give up all my “how to meet women” tricks because knowledge is power, but I guess it wont hurt, here are my favorites:

1) get a wingman or a posse, make sure there is at least one fairly dumb, good looking guy in it. We call him the “bait” and you can be the hook. He brings em in, but he’ll fail to keep their interest. In my posse, we actually call him “bait” as his nickname. It helps if he is marginally employed as well.

2) Roll with your possee to places that other posse’s don’t roll. Avoid sporting events and bars. Groups of dudes do that, you need to be where groups of women go and dudes don’t go. Women travel in packs, it’s primal, single women never go anywhere alone. Wineries, festivals, cruises (the 3 day ones), palm springs. Find a single female friend and ask her where she would take a girlfriend to be supportive after a break up, then go there.

3) The gym, especially in January or February. But stay away from the weight stacks, go with the cardio and the classes. Pilates, yoga, spin, and kickboxing. go between 5 and 7 pm, go during monday night football, it’s a chick fest. When in the classes and at the cardio, don’t strike up a conversation or take a spot next to the hot chick, just play it cool for a while, after a few classes, and after she says hello, then it’s time to talk, don’t look like you are a player just be in the right place and always offer to open doors, put away equipment but in a gentlemanly way. Think Bond, not Bluto.

4) Stores- grocery and clothing. Shop after 5 p.m., smaller markets, gourmet places, department stores, etc. Time of day is key, after work and weekends, don’t be James Bond here, self depricating jokes are acceptable here, asking innocent questions is fine in this environment. Don;t be cheesy, be real.

5) Big parties, weddings, street fairs, block parties, these are all good. I especially like cooking and/or dance classes. You end up meeting them and learn to cook or dance the tango at the same time, you don’t just have to meet them, you have to be an interesting guy in order to keep them.

That’s all I can think of right now, CAR and Ricechex, you guys are right, some criteria are fine but too many can be restrictive. There isn’t a woman out there that doesn’t have something that is beautiful or wonderful about here and there isn’t a woman out there that doesn’t have something wrong with her either. Since you can;t have it all, have what is important to you and compatability is weird, it cannot always be predicted.

I feel I should chime in but I am not sure where to start. Is the problem meeting women or meeting the right women? The problem isn’t about being nice or dominant or funny, it’s about the criteria itself.

I’ve been away for a bit, so you can all tolerate a lengthy post, here goes. Don’t try and analyze why women seek what they seek, just realize they all have a dash of crazy in them, that’s why we love them. Find a tolerable amount of crazy, ignore your criteria and throw away the charts and graphs, this is one part of your life where have to trust your gut.

Criteria works for everything but a mate, pick one or two things that are important and shitcan the rest of the list. Let’s use me as an example, I have some attributes and some drawbacks, but I never fail to meet or charm most womenfolk, yet I find it rare that I become inspired by a woman. Where I have failed is making lists like you are now doing, the ironic thing is, when you find the one that fits your criteria, you will also find something is missing that you cannot identify, what looks good on paper rarely works in reality. Trust me, I’ve travelled that road, the ones that will keep you awake at night and doing things out of character won’t fit on your list, it’s not car shopping. Everything else requires you to supress your emotions, this requires you tap into them.

We can teach you how to meet women, but we can’t teach you how to become entranced by one. I’ll be willing to bet that the one that entrances you will meet less that 75% of your criteria, that’s the world’s little joke, perfect rarely is perfect for you, there is beauty in imperfection. Want to find a woman who thinks you are the most handsome man in the world when you really aren’t, you are going to have to look for the women you think is the most beautiful woman in the world when she really isn’t.

So let’s take you through the Tg checklist, you only get to make a few picks, the rest has to be left open, wide open.

Body- Be honest, if you are staring at a porn website, which category do you click on first. If you click on the gals with a little extra junk in the truck, the one’s with bolt-ons, the skinny ones, the thick ones, the cougars, whatever it is, just do a self assessment and realize that you are turned on by something, be honest about it. If you get caught, blame me, tell them it was homework.

Mind- Pedigree’s be damned, forget about her education, what kind of mind turns you on and makes you want to spend time talking to, not the ones you are hitting on but the married ones that are your friends that you enjoy the company of. At a party, who do you spend too much time with, what kind of mind does she have, identify it and be honest about it. Do you like the simple ones, the sarcastic ones, the ecclectic, the spiritual, the conservative, pick your type and be honest. This isnlt about who you would like to work with, what kind of a mind makes you want to take your clothes off.

Life- This is the most worthless category, if she has kids, is divorced, has bad credit, what type of job, what her past includes, does she have all her limbs, where she lives and with who, her race or cultural experiences. This whole category sucks, I say ignore it. Not one thing cannot be dealt with, sometimes adversity is a blessing.

Be smart, protect yourself, get a prenup, don’t marry them, whatever floats your boat but be honest and do what makes you not worry. For god’s sake, do not ignore a women that does not fit your criteria, because the universe will hide your perfect women behind the curtain of circumstance or attribute and it’s your job to see through it.

Or you can keep making your lists and weeding out potential mates for a variety fo reasons but don’t come complaining when it blows up in your face. When you are ready to look past the stuff on the surface, it will happen.

I’ve been doing a little research in this area and I like that costco doubles the warranty and has the concierge service. My sister just told me about having to use the concierge service from costco, they pretty much act like your lawyer when dealing with a warranty issue, making sure you are happy and not having to make tons of calls. I’ve also found that the tv’s in the ads at many stores or online are the 60hz models or do not look very sharp when you see them in person.

One thing to look for is energy use, some models can use 2x to 4x the elecrictiy of others, some of the older big plasmas gobble up air conditioning amounts of juice.

The lowest energy use ones appear to be LED, but they are new and expensive at the moment, in two years, it’s likely plasma and lcd will be extinct, the LED’s look better and use less energy, significantly less.

My sister just told me about having to use the concierge service from costco, they pretty much act like your lawyer when dealing with a warranty issue, making sure you are happy and not having to make tons of calls. I’ve also found that the tv’s in the ads at many stores or online are the 60hz models or do not look very sharp when you see them in person.

One thing to look for is energy use, some models can use 2x to 4x the elecrictiy of others, some of the older big plasmas gobble up air conditioning amounts of juice.

The lowest energy use ones appear to be LED, but they are new and expensive at the moment, in two years, it’s likely plasma and lcd will be extinct, the LED’s look better and use less energy, significantly less.

[quote=Ricechex][quote=Aecetia]Go buy the biggest television they have and enjoy it. No one I know deserves it more. You need to do this. [/quote]

Aecetia–were you being sarcastic? I have never quite understood this “you deserve it” mantra. Who says a person “deserves” anything? My basic philosophy is: if you can’t afford to pay in cash, then you don’t deserve it.[/quote]

She wasn’t being sarcastic, she actually has known me in the real world long before piggington existed and knows my quirks, one of them being that I am overly conservative financially. It’s a personality flaw, she knows it and her advice only applies to me, it is far from what she was taken to task as ecouraging a consumerism mentality. Without boring you with the details of my financial situation, I suffer from buyers remorse, I’m afraid that if i buy big tv’s, they will become cheaper, even though I’d benefit from one, even though I can easily afford to pay cash, even though that cash has no other purpose, I have no debts, no cc bills, no car payments and a 401k that I’ll never live long enough to spend, yet I still can’t bring myself to spending money on something I can live without. I’m an inverted shopaholic, I find happiness in eating hot dogs on a steak budget, she knows this and thinks I would benefit from letting loose a little and buying something I want, not just need. At some point I’ll realize I can’t take it with me, but black friday came and went and I didn’t buy anything for myself, still have the little cheapo t.v., still can’t read the score of the laker game on it.

We all have our issues, that one is mine, it could be worse. I did pretty good, I went to three stores, measured the space where it would go, compared prices, looked at the screens, but ended up wussing out. My daughter teased me in the store as i toiled with the decision, she remarked that I’ve spent more on picking up the tab for a birthday party, buying cars or college funds for my kids, but $600 for a t.v. and I almost have a seizure. Who says we have to make sense all the time? Who on these boards can say that they don’t have at least one personality flaw that they rationalize?
