How did I pull? I bought her a drink, we talked, I asked her to dance, got her number, started dating and - the crucial part this - did not stop.

There is absolutely no way a woman can throw off the interest of a man short of shooting him.
Unless you're into that kind of thing.
Though I seem to attract women of a similar nature. Hmm.
One would also think that this is a way to get the woman you love to think you would rather love men. I mean, I know that some women are turned on by the idea of two men getting it on, but don't you wander innto left-field "Twin Peaks"-Land when one of the men then turns to the woman and says, "I just did that so he'd lose interest in you because I want you all to myself." Who would buy that line?

Which leads us to the (women's) eternal question: Why aren't they prowling after me? I know that in my case it's because I stand tall and walk with strength and semi-instinctively do other things security experts say to do to project that you are not to be victimized. (Mind you, this is probably why I attract lunatics; they more or less literally are the only people who don't pick up on that body language.)
Yet then when I'm trying to attract a man I relax my posture and smile and try to chat, and I still get the glazed eye. Each man is an individual, so I know better than to condemn the male gender as a class, but still...

Personally, I had that very problem (interpreting signals) when a woman came onto me at a bar so gangbusters that the gay guys I was hanging out with could tell. (Now, why was she hitting on me if I was hanging out with gay guys? Well, that's another question.)
Of course, she persisted, and turned out to be a complete nutjob. (We won't discuss my mental togetherness in this forum at this juncture.) I go to bars to see obscure bands & drink cider nowadays, and that's all. Fucking meat markets.
Any fellas in the audience experience similar success / failure? When desperate, no play? When disinterested, mucho play? What about when seriously involved? I'd think that women, seeing someone with a guy, might think highly of a guy (more so than usual) because of his ability to "pull" a girl (assuming the girl isn't some sort of skanky ho bitch-ass mofo). (And assuming the guy isn't some skanky dumb shit-ass mofo.)
I think, with guys, interest only comes when seriously involved. Regardless of interest / disinterest, women know enough to stay away. (Unless women are obviously smart enough to know when a guy is feigning disinterest, which most guys are, since ALL guys are on the make 24-7-365.)

One could infer from this that the best way to pull someone is to pick a single friend of the sex you're interested in, dress as if you were a couple, then go out on the town as if you were together.
I used to assume I wasn't good-looking enough, but I got over that. I think I'm okay-looking...now I just assume women won't like my personality, and then maybe my looks also.
I think Ally should just say "Get lost." Have you done that yet, just "Get lost, get lost, get lost" repeatedly?
― Chris, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
No, I'm really bad at being that nasty. As unbelievable as it seems.
Anyhow, I don't think that being "weird" or whatever in your opinions is a bad thing. In fact it can be good, really good. It'll make you much more memorable to girls, assuming said opinions are "All women should be shot" or something like that.
Him: Do I make you uncomfortable? Me: Yes! Him: Oh. What can I do to fix that? Me: I have no idea. Him, like 3 minutes later: (insert trying to rub my back or kiss my hand or something here)
What am I meant to do, you know? It'll be alright, it's just weird to be nearly yelled at by a guy you barely know because you didn't call him while you were so sick you could barely speak.

One truly bizarro period in my life was when I was being stalked by a psychiatrist. You'd think that of all people he'd have been able to read my seriously negative inflections and body language. (I was too nice to tell him "You creep me out big-time, don't ever talk to me again.")
