“Winning her over with brutal honesty” … *gag*

I was StumbleUpon-ing this morning, and Stumbled upon this gem of a website – Angel Eyes, Devil Smile (the name alone should set off little alarm bells – “Warning! Pretentious Idiot Alert! Warning!”). For some reason the idiocy of this post got to me. I think I’ve had it with guys trying to understand how to manipulate women into hooking up with them. You shouldn’t need to do anything other than be yourself, and be confident that this is okay! There’s no “secret”, either there’s an attraction or there isn’t. Either something starts, or it doesn’t. The sheer number of guys who don’t get this is amazing. Most guys seem to make an effort not to let you see their true personality. They hide behind dodgy pick-up lines and cliches, and advice from other guys that is apparently “tried and true”. FFS. But maybe I’m being too hard on him? Maybe my own personal prejudices have created a bias in my perception… Anyway, I’ll let you be the judge.

My response (I didn’t expect this comment to be approved for posting on the website. Hehe.) Firstly, it’s “sleight of hand”. This is one of many mistakes that you’ve made in spelling / grammar in this post. If you want people to take you seriously, to listen to this “advice”, then at least make an effort not to sound like a complete idiot!

Secondly, what makes you think that belittling a woman is going to increase her respect for you? (”Wow, I expected a little better from you”) If it does, don’t you wonder about the type of person she is? Also, why do you already have expectations of someone you’ve just met?

This is one of the most superficial, immature posts I’ve ever read in the field of relationships. “I thought you would do better than that… maybe I was wrong (with a sly smile)” Wow… you’re so suave and debonair. I’m here wondering who could be bothered continuing a conversation with you after you’ve drooled out one incoherent mis-pronounced sentence.

A few pointers:

A “pimp” is not known for lies and trickery to land a woman, a “pimp” is an agent for a street-walking prostitute. I think the term you’re looking for here is “asshole”.

“And guess what,” = actually, that’s a question, and the comma here should be replaced with a question mark.

“subconsciencely” = subconsciously, maybe?

“I advice you” = You “advice” me? I ADVISE you to use proper grammar and punctuation!

“Why, you may ask…” Again, a comma in place of a question mark. And actually, this would be better as: “Why?” You may ask…

“Seems strange right.” What? is this a question or a statement? what’s your beef with question marks? What did they ever do to you to deserve you ignoring them?

“If you have a reputation for brutal honesty… you gain instant respect.” = How about just regular honesty? It does the same job, and is less likely to offend people. I don’t believe that respect is gained through acting as though your “truth” just has to be heard. Respect gains respect. Why don’t you try having respect for women, instead of brutally honesty-ing them into submission?

“Brutal honesty DOES NOT mean that you have to be an asshole, though!” = But every one of the examples you’ve given make you look like a pretentious, self-important wanker! I’m confused.

“repoire” = Did you mean rapport?

“when I feel like people are trying to “game” me” = What, like how you’re trying to “game” women?

The ignorance, self-indulgent, sexist crap in this article is simply breathtaking.
