Jim bob, i honestly don't think these technique are used that much by men who can't afford their own drinks and secondly, you state 'no its not fun there are plenty more things i would rather be doing on a night out', that should really written as an opinion to save aggressive arguments, in my opinion lol.

I honestly cannot blame any guy for trying, whether its for sex or for friendship, its fucking nature baby, we evolved from monkeys, we're all this part animal.

Sales. How rewarding.

You know what else helps you be a money maker? Learning to spell accurately.

what exactly is threatening about this?

the thing about these techniques is that they are meant to open people up to you; what you do with that is your decision. i know lots of guys who aren't able to talk to strangers, because they're not good at the social thing. if you go up to someone you don't know, and play a game with them, it's fun. your goal may be to get laid, or it may be to meet someone interesting.

and if it's to get laid, there's no problem, because the woman gets to decide too. or are women too stupid to handle their own lives?

seriously, people. let go, and have some fun. if you don't suffer from crippling social anxiety, you have no basis for judgment. and if you do, stop criticizing people who are willing to work on their problems.
