Funnily enough it works just as well for men as it does for girls...

been trying out your C&F routine for a while. Funnily enough
it works just as well for men as it does for girls... I
think
partly because guys are so shocked that a girl would go
about
ball busting them, but also be flirtatious at the same time.
My favorite move is to always refuse any free drink offers,
yet keep up the C&F routine. ("why, do you think you have to
buy me or something?") It seems to send guys into a
tailspin.
Keep up the good work.
>>>MY COMMENTS:
Hm, first you tell me that Cocky and Funny rubs you the
wrong way, then you agree that it works, and even on men...
then encourage me to keep up the good work.
Hey, would you do me a favor and write a book teaching
women how to use your "Don't accept free drinks" technique?
I think it would go over very well!
No, really... I think you should do it. It's just the kind
of wisdom that our women of today need. And you're just the
person to do it. You'd be helping women all over the world.
***COMMENT FROM A WOMAN***
Dear David,
One of my friends wants to slap the sh** out of you!
Your advice to the guy at the gym was totally out of line
and rude. The guy looked at a woman too long. The woman then
told him she had a boyfriend. He then said, "I realize that
is a major accomplishment for you, however, it it quite
normal for a woman to have a boyfriend."
First of all, the comment insinuates that the woman is
a lesbian, or does not deserve a decent guy in her life.
Lesbians in this country are in a minority and their rights
are protected by law. All women have the right to choose
their partner, whether male or female. Women also have the
right to choose the most compatible male available. This
person, in my friends opinion, does not deserve the time of
the day from that particular woman for being so insulting
to her face.
Second, the comment slaps the woman in the face.
The woman at the gym may have problems finding and keeping
a boyfriend. She may be shy. That comment is a good way to
injure a woman's delicate psyche.
I urge you to reconsider the advice given to that
man. I am not the only one to say this. Maybe you should
quit writing this column and give the job to a woman!!!
Thank You,
B.R.
Belleview, Florida.
>>>MY COMMENTS:
Oh, I smiled with joy when I read this one.
This woman has gone on to email me again twice ranting
about my newsletters and materials. The latest one was
a bizarre misinterpretation of a part of my book. It was
great.
But let's stick to the email at hand...
And to be fair, I'll reprint the original section that
you're commenting on (before I mock you in front of many
thousands of male readers who are already biased against
you because they know I'm going to mock you):
***ORIGINAL EMAIL***
Just wanted to share a little bit of what your lessons have
done for me. I read your book and started concentrating on
what I thought was my weak points. I did as your book
recommended and started picturing myself as the cocky funny
person I wanted to be. I even did the whole daydream
practice thing everyday. I work at a fitness center so I
see lots of hot women all the time. My biggest weakness is
that I look away quickly after eye contact is made. I
decided that before I started trying to approach women I
would make it my goal for a couple of weeks to just make
eye contact and hold it until they looked away. Ok, here is
the good part. After practicing eye contact for a couple of
weeks and doing the whole mental exercise thing, I was at
work one day working out after my break and was practicing
my eye contact thing between sets with this really hot girl
near the dumbbell rack.
I knew she noticed but it never bothered me cause I had no
intentions of acting. Well, I had to go over to get a set
of dumbbells for my next exercise and as I got close to
where she was she suddenly turned around and said "I have
a boyfriend" and turned around. Normally I would have kinda
stood there in shock and said nothing but, I guess all that
mental practice paid off. With out even thinking or pausing
the words just came out. I said "Hey that's great I am happy
for you. (Pause - and in a lower tone) I know this is
probably a major accomplishment for you but to the rest a
the world this is kinda normal so you might not want to go
telling every stranger you see." Then I just walked off
with my weights to do my sets. 5 min later she comes over
to me and apologizes and asks for my number. Turns out she
didn't have a boyfriend but was just tired of being picked
up by losers while she was trying to do a workout. Thanks
for the pleasant surprise!

[I didn't include my answer, because it was a few pages
long... as you may remember]
So let's consider your first comment of:
"First of all, the comment insinuates that the woman is
a lesbian, or does not deserve a decent guy in her life.
Lesbians in this country are in a minority and their rights
are protected by law. All women have the right to choose
their partner, whether male or female. Women also have the
right to choose the most compatible male available. This
person, in my friends opinion, does not deserve the time of
the day from that particular woman for being so insulting
to her face."
Lesbians are a minority? The comment insinuates that she's
a lesbian? Women have the RIGHT to choose the "most
compatible male available"?
Can I ask you PLEASE PASS ME THE CRACK PIPE, because it's
obviously some good stuff. I mean, you MUST be high.
My comments are only taking away from the beautiful
comedy that you've already created in this heartfelt
paragraph, so I'll continue with your next...
"Second, the comment slaps the woman in the face.
The woman at the gym may have problems finding and keeping
a boyfriend. She may be shy. That comment is a good way to
injure a woman's delicate psyche."
The only problem that the woman at the gym was having is
the ability to TELL THE TRUTH! Hell, she opened her
mouth and lied to a complete stranger without even being
spoken to.
The reason she might have a problem "finding and keeping a
boy friend" is that she's a liar! I don't know a lot of
people that feel compelled to lie to people they've never
met or spoken to, but this is a little red flag, in my
humble opinion. And it's surely NOT a sign of SHYNESS.
LOL! You're killing me.
Yea, ALL of my shy friends feel compelled to start
conversations with strangers by lying. It's a fundamental
part of the "shyness" complex.
CRACK PIPE PLEASE.
Oh, and this "woman's delicate psyche" B.S. is really
nice. How nice of you to frame all women as "delicate
psychological flowers" who are wrongfully injured by
brutally interesting men who bust on them.
And to wrap up, you go with:
"I urge you to reconsider the advice given to that
man. I am not the only one to say this. Maybe you should
quit writing this column and give the job to a woman!!!"
Yea, you're right...
I'm reconsidering right now.
Oh, already came to a decision... I was right on.
And you know, I really think your idea of me turning over
this "column" to a woman is a great idea. Maybe you could
handle it for me?
Let me guess, you're actually writing this from your laptop
inside the "Carter" building... you know, the one in New
Jack City that was taken over by gangsters and converted
into... what else?
A CRACK HOUSE.
Wow, I could work with this material all day. If I can
stop laughing maybe I'll dig up your other emails that
