All joking aside, I have never wanted for female company. I don't think I'm some kind of irresistable sex god or anything; I'm just an average guy. Maybe I'm just lucky.
What I do know is, it helps to be a good talker as well as a good listener. If you're reasonably articulate and can talk about things other than beer, sport and sex, you're on the way. Women - they are human, after all and not some alien species - enjoy a good chat. It also helps if you have several interests and a broad range of subjects outside your personal obsessions. You may find this hard to believe but Poser is not - and never has been - the centre of my universe. It's not something I'd discuss in any detail other than with other 3Ders.
Also, there's a huge difference between confidence and arrogance. A lot of men don't seem to have worked that one out. In my experience, the women I've met tend to like guys who can handle themselves without throwing their weight around and who know what they're talking about.
Maybe my experience isn't so helpful because I've never been on the lookout for a GF and I've never used a line in my life. Whenever I got together with someone it's always been an accident of circumstance, a chance meeting or a friendship that went further than expected. Perhaps that's why I've been so lucky; I never acted like a predator.
My selection process would probably be different from most guys, too. I'm not in the least bit attracted to stupid people. Women who are pretty but dumb are a big no-no for me. Women who are pretty and very smart are a big turn on, though. I have to respect someone as an equal first and foremost.
In any event, just making friends is a lot of fun; it doesn't have to lead to anything more. If it does, that's a plus.
