MysteryWoman, you're oversimplifying D'Angelo's advice. If you get rejected he wouldn't say its because you weren't ****y/funny, he would say its because you failed to create or amplify any attraction between you and the girl. He may be a salesman, but his advice is pretty good IMO. His strategy is basically to be the best man that you can, and to develop the parts of your personality that women would like. Whether its being ****y/funny, artistic, whatever. I got his book off ***** for curiosity sake, its not bad but it lacks a lot of detail.
