No argument there, at least when you're dealing with high-school or college-aged girls. It's more difficult for most men with most women when they're further along in years.young_gun said:In my experience, the difference between the girls I haven't gotten with (been "just friends" with) and the girls I have gotten with, has been the kino (playful touching) I used with them.
That's the best way to get yourself out of friendzone IMO. If you aren't at least a little touchy-feely with her (or her with you) then you most likely will be LJBF'ed.
I think, DJ, you may be missing the point after all? For instance, this has NOTHING to do with 'Picking Up' anyone; it entirely relates to women with whom you have a legitimate ongoing friendship. ('Pick Up' is about 'salesmanship' - "Customer Acquisition". My focus is on "Customer Satisfaction, Loyalty, and Retention" and I have ongoing non-exclusive relationships going back 15 years with some lovers - through various marriages and relationships on both sides!)DJDamage said:I see what you were trying to do in this thread JS, but this stuff is too much of a PUA mentality for my taste.
Of course - me too! That's why I express the fundamentals of the OP to them, and help them appreciate that we can be bed-buddies as well as friends. I have sex with basically all my female friends, and I have for many years.DJDamage said:I have better things to do then be just "another joe or mike" she talks too when she feels bored.
I also can't relate to the notion of there being only "one woman I'd want to fvck with" - Sexual exclusivity isn't something I offer to any of my girlfriends, nor do they expect it or suggest it, so the time I spend with them has value on many levels, both as a comrade and confident, as well as a playmate. I have no problem taking on a 'boyfriend role' for a female friend with whom I'm sexually intimate; I just won't take on the 'Boyfriend title'.DJDamage said:In order to be close to a woman, you have to be almost like a surrogate boyfriend to her and I believe that time you are spending with a woman be better served with the one you want to fvck with.
They are not less valulable, its just that its nearly impossible to find women in their 20's who make good friends. From my own experience women tend to make lousy friends because they tend to be more self absorbing and self serving creatures then men (maybe it changes with women as they age who knows) and use men for attention purposes. Heck women can't even be good friends to other women! go to any woman you meet and close to 100% of them will tell you that a former close female friends of their's has backstab them in the back somewhere in the past.Johnny Soporno said:Since you don't have such friendships, it won't have an application in your world. I can't relate to the notion that "real friendships" with women are less valuable or less valid than "real friendships" with guys, since the only real difference I can find between the two is that I don't have sex with my male friends.
If you found those women attractive then why didn't you just go for the lay right away?! I mean you did say in your post that this tip will only work for guys who befriend women for real, how can you then say that you genuinely wanted to be a woman's friend if you end up fvcking her?! I mean you had to be attracted to her when you first met her right?! so I don't believe you can be attracted to a woman physically and genuinely be her friend. You like her company because you found her physically attractive.Johnny Soporno said:Of course - me too!

I probably should have said "the one's you want to fvck with" cause I didn't mean to sound if I am suggesting exclusively. It sounds to me like even though you offer advice on ways you can attempt to have sex with your female friends (because you found them attractive to begin with), I on the other hand suggest to not even get in this kind of jam to begin with and just go for it, without entertaining the idea of friendship first and creating dishonesty with the women and yourself.Johnny Soporno said:I also can't relate to the notion of there being only "one woman I'd want to fvck with" - Sexual exclusivity isn't something I offer to any of my girlfriends, nor do they expect it or suggest it, so the time I spend with them has value on many levels, both as a comrade and confident, as well as a playmate.
Certainly - but 90% or more of my female friends are in completely unrelated fields from me, and there is no cross-over of any sort between their work and mine. We are simply FRIENDS, and I have absolutely no power of any sort over them.Jitterbug said:Johnny, if the female friends you have are in the same industry you're in, it means that you're a very very valuable friend to them and sleeping with you every now and then is the least they could do.
That is a SEVERELY limiting belief, Jitterbug - one which you should endeavor to overcome ASAPJitterbug said:I don't think most guys could ever get into such a position of power to their female friends, nor could they surround themselves with females who are so open-minded to such approach.
Seriously, Jitterbug - think if you have any genuine friendships with desirable girls; it doesn't matter if they are involved with other guys or not - speak with them about the things I detail in the OP, and see what happens!Jitterbug said:That's my thought for now, but I'll keep this in mind. Thanks for the posts. Maybe one day, I'll understand it better. Right now I don't believe I have enough life experience with women to comprehend this.
We have very different experiences here - perhaps the observer affects the experiment (ie, you're generating a self-fulfilling prophecy?) in this case?DJDamage said:They are not less valuable, its just that its nearly impossible to find women in their 20's who make good friends.
I suppose it depends, I would say it's about the same, regardless of gender.DJDamage said:From my own experience women tend to make lousy friends because they tend to be more self absorbing and self serving creatures then men (maybe it changes with women as they age who knows) and use men for attention purposes.
Oh, indeed! In fact, if you want a good place to begin a conversation with any women or mixed-set, simply say "I heard someone say something interesting today - 'If there's one thing all men and women can agree upon, it's that you can't trust women!'" and see how all the girls will agree.DJDamage said:Heck women can't even be good friends to other women! Go to any woman you meet and close to 100% of them will tell you that a former close female friends of their's has backstab them in the back somewhere in the past.
Sigh.... have you never met a girl who was either engaged to be married, just married recently, or involved with someone whom you knew (a friend or friend's family-member, etc) and you felt it would be pointless or inappropriate to make a seductive move?DJDamage said:If you found those women attractive then why didn't you just go for the lay right away?!

No question - I am not one who suffers from this, however I am SO direct, it's disarming... as I always say, I treat EVERY GIRL as though she were my lover... and soon enough, she will be.DJDamage said:Majority of men who enter friendships with attractive women are in delusion and denial in terms of their own true intentions and would have saved themsleves alot of time and anguish if they went for what they desired first instead of waiting it out.
I am never dishonest with anyone. I am COMPLETELY CLEAR up front about my nature (Hell, check out my myspace page! http://www.Myspace.com/JohnnySoporno) even with girls whom I know I will not be pursuing, such as I described aboveDJDamage said:I probably should have said "the one's you want to fvck with" cause I didn't mean to sound if I am suggesting exclusively.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a girls boytoy to be played with, especially if you are everyone's favorite toy. Besides, once she gets used to it then initiating sex will be seamless regardless of who does it. The point is to get the process startedSXS said:the Ideas this guy have are in the least interesting, but what I dislike in them is that it seems to put too value on the women in question. In the end, you offer yourself to her whenever she needs too, but she will be there to you when YOU need her ? Knowing women, I think that if you start with this kind of aproach, you are accepting to be her toy.
What do you think, Soporno ?
I disagree - I find you establish yourself as her DESPERATELY NEEDED friend and confidant. Women DON'T TRUST OTHER WOMEN, because they know better - but they WILL trust an honorable man, and confide in him with the deepest, darkest secrets.SXS said:In the end, you offer yourself to her whenever she needs too, but she will be there to you when YOU need her ?

Whenever I have needed ANYTHING there have been women who've loved me anxious and enthusiastic to help in every way. To be honest, I think I have had consistently better genuine friendships with women I've slept with, than with men I've merely considered friends.

Sorry, Deuce...2.0 said:This isn't how to get a girl friend to be your girlfriend. This is how to get your girl friend to sleep with you, a very different thing. Very useful information, but you got my hopes up.
Thanks2.0 said:In any case, the advice is good!
Please go back over the OP a couple of times - I cover both your questions pretty well in the original post, I believe?2.0 said:How do you go about bringing up the topic to her? And also, if she says no will that make things awkward or will you be able to keep on being friends?
Women don't trust other women because when they tell their girlfriends about stupid things they do, the girlfriend will be honest and tell them the truth, even though she does not want to hear it, while a man will most of the time be nice with them.Women DON'T TRUST OTHER WOMEN, because they know better - but they WILL trust an honorable man, and confide in him with the deepest, darkest secrets.
What I was saying is, when YOU want sex, they will be there for you ? Because I have slept with many friends, but is usually when they want to.Whenever I have needed ANYTHING there have been women who've loved me anxious and enthusiastic to help in every way. To be honest, I think I have had consistently better genuine friendships with women I've slept with, than with men I've merely considered friends.

I can't think of an situations where I've made an advance and not been well-received by any of my female friends not currently in the throes of an exclusive relationship at the time... But honestly, I'm not 'needy' for sex, and I don't really recall ever having 'asked' for sex, I just put the suggestions out and waited to hear back.Johnny Soporno said:What I was saying is, when YOU want sex, they will be there for you?SXS said:Whenever I have needed ANYTHING there have been women who've loved me anxious and enthusiastic to help in every way.
