10 Better Ways To Flirt With Women

We just came across a well-done DateDaily piece called "Top 10 Ways To Flirt With Women." Out of the seven million or so stories floating around the internet claiming, "No, guys, seriously... this is how to pick up women," this might be one of the better ones...

First, let's look at the Top 10 itself:

Give her the eye

Speak soft & seductive

Ask if she’s coming on to you

Make her laugh

Compliment something about her

Allude to sex

Buy her a drink

Touch her

Tease her a bit

Lick your lips

On the surface, this looks like a load of (cliche-ridden) crap. But Naya Hunter's piece actually expands on these tried-and-true points with some well-written explanations that actually made us rethink our whole "Game." For example:

What do we think of these suggestions? Is this the right mix of forwardness-creativity men need to stand out... or totally offputting?

Totally off-putting! Reminds me of the two club-going brothers in that SNL skit from the 90s. I'm surprised "Wear lots of Drakkar Noir" is not on the list.

Absolutely NOT! The licking the lips does draw our attention there, but makes us wonder what in the hell this person is trying to pull - WAY to obvious. ALSO -- the "Ask if she's coming on to you" bit is SO ANNOYING. You can't trick or guilt a woman into being with you guys. The best is eye contact, interest and humor w/i a great conversation. And yes, touching helps -- but not too early on, or flags go up.

Allfathersdotter has it exactly right. The touching, later on, is best when done naturally and in the context of interesst, humor and great convo. Alas, none of this can be faked, which is the best (or worst) part, depending on your personal talents or lack thereof.

How could they forget "giant handfuls of hair gel" and "a single rose wrapped in cellophane"? Brian's messing with my brain!

uuhh, women are already insecure, why don't you try a sincere compliment for a change.

"What kind of art do you like?" gets me interested every time! "You look like a nerd" just overstates the obvious.

Cosign on the comments of Allfathersdotter and Michael- Please don't ask that "are you coming onto me line?" It sounds smug and cocky. And depending on what kind of ladies you are hitting on, one with a little spunk/feminism in her blood (a-hem, a-hem), thinks that question begs for the response, "NOPE."
