    It looks as if Jon Gosselin does some serious wardrobe shopping at this convention.

    The above quote sounds as though it were ripped from 30 Rock. I think perhaps Dr. Spaceman has given Tracy a new 'scrip.

    Did anyone else notice the one guy who looks like Wolverine? That coupled with his comments was weirding me out. A lot.

    I'm sure most of these guys sat on their hands for a bit before deciding to participate. But then they just chose to take a firm grip on their personal lives, to massage the issue for a while, before really working at it. Sometimes they may even grab life by the balls, or explore the taint of inhibition that's been on their minds. But then it all comes to a head, and there's the rub, you know? These guys are just left sitting there alone with the mess they've made.

    Hey, I'm pretty adventurous, but seeing a woman posed like that would me make pray that she's going to keep that thumb to herself (although for BookishLookish I might make an exception).

    MacRae drove a woman away by saying she had "man hands"

    That bit made me laugh. A lot. I'm imagining this over exaggerated insulted face on some nondescript woman as she picks up her Cuba Libre and storms off

    Just get to the point. And get a good wingman, the kind you can throw a chorus to (caution, the lyrics are NSFW!!).

    Isn't "negging" just, like, "gently teasing someone with whom you have established a rapport"? In my single days, when talking to guys I would just kid them a little. It wasn't strategy - just part of the conversation, and a good way to see if they had a sense of humor about themselves. Besides, if you're going to be friends with me, you're gonna have to take some good-natured ribbing now and then.

    @FattyCatty: It's less teasing and more supposed to be offhandedly insulting them. For example asking a girl if her hair color is natural, so she is forced to admit that it's fake. The whole point is you are supposed to act like you don't know you are insulting her

    Has anyone here actually read Mystery's book? It's so much worse than you imagine. There's a part where he recommends his readers have a bed, so that they have a place to have sex. If you're starting out under the presumption that your readers don't understand why they need a bed, then goddamn. Goddamn!

    As much as I loathe the idea of PUAs, I have to say I really think their techniques would work on me.

    I read "The Game" and I think "negging" is often misconstrued on here. It's not straight up insults - it's more like giving a backhanded compliment. And, if a guy came up to me and said something like, "It's so cute how your nose moves when you speak." I would definitely respond with a "What? It does?" and think "Wait, cute in a good way?" end up engaging him in a conversation to find out more. The guy who comes up just wanting to buy me a drink, not so much. A neg seems perceptive and exhibits self-confidence (he's not one of a million guys who need to tell the pretty girl that she's pretty, he's comfortable teasing you) And negs are supposed to be gentle teasing, if you are ACTUALLY insulting someone you are doing it wrong.

    I hate the idea that this is a learned method, but I believe more of us would fall for it than we would like to think.
