Guy passes out 'girlfriend wanted' fliers, succeeds. (mad DJ skillz)

Date stall man's 'life changed'
A man who set up a stall on a busy high street to advertise for a girlfriend says his faith in human nature has been restored by the experience.

Self-confessed cynic Jeremy Butler, 32, did not get a negative comment during his 18 hours on Crouch End High Street in north London at the weekend.

He says he was congratulated on his courage by members of both sexes.

Mr Butler got a whopping 93 phone numbers, and has already gone out on a date with one woman.

The 32-year-old has not had a serious girlfriend since moving to London four years ago and said he found people in the city unapproachable.

So he decided to take a more direct approach, handing out fliers and standing next to a 3m-tall banner reading: "Girlfriend wanted, apply here".

He told BBC News: "I had got to the point, not just with women, where I was so disappointed with people's reactions when I spoke to them but the experience just shattered them.

"People went out of their way to talk to me, and seemed genuinely interested in it.

"It really has changed my outlook on life."

On his list of telephone numbers he said: "It definitely beats going down the pub".

Mr Butler says his confidence has been boosted and he even managed to get one number when he went to the pub on the Saturday night.

I think it's a novel approach to getting women. I've been to London, and generally you can't just walk up to women and do cold approaches like you can here in the states. It's a different culture, and I think this guy had the balls to try something different.

Definitely a DJ move.

That's what being a DJ is about bro. Doing what it takes (and not being scared to try everything).

I wish I had the balls that guy has.

peace

Being a seducer (or a DJ / PUA / etc) is not just about getting a girl. It's about pushing her right buttons, and having her fall in love, become infatuated, and obsessed with you. It's about always being in her head to the point where she can't think about other things. It's when she wants you so badly that whenever she's not with you she feels empty. In sosuave terms, it means having her have oneitis for you.

That's what seduction is about.

Do I think this guy is a seducer? No I don't. These girls are with him because they feel sorry for him. By giving him a chance, they feel better about themselves, and that's why they are doing this. Is it gonna last? I doubt it. Relationship that are built on weak foundations (such as pity) will never be strong enough to support two people.

Did he go out and approach a chick? No!
Did he take her on a date? No!
Did he create attraction remain mysterious? No!

All he did is he set up a stall saying "I'm desperate"

To call him an AFC would be an understatement.

 

[ARK]

Well it sounds like we will take them on a date now and then he could use DJ skillz. I couldnt imagine going through 93 phone numbers though and trying to remember what they looked like, etc.

 

[MixMaxster]

ARK,

now you know how an attractive woman feels.

 

[Jake-inator]

I'd like to point out to all of you, that this guy made women fill out applications inorder to get with him!

That means women lined up FOR HIM!!
I wouldn't fill out a form to get with some chick i felt sorry for. Now a total bombshell... guys would be lining up for 20 blocks.

I don't see anything desperate in that.
If a hot girl decided to do the same would you think it was desperate

This guy has major cajones. He got 93 numbers!

I bet all the women in town are gossiping right now over which girl he's gonna chose.

I'm not sure about DJ skillz, but to do something like this takes ballz.
This guy saw something that wasn't right, and decided to change it.

So you're dissing him an calling him an AFC... i bet one of those 93 women that filled out his application is hopeing to get a chance with him.
Everyone knows his name, he's like a celebrity now for at least a week.. until the whole thing blows over and everyone forgets about him.

cough *
look everyone saw this dudes sign and said hey lets do that

they got all into it, just because everyone was getting all into it.

betcha , none of those chicks work out.

however, by doing this even if it terrified him, he has now built up confidence and scored some dates.
he can now feel free to approach anyone he wants.

and there will be a few chicks saying , hey i have a date with the dude with that sign on tv!! yay me !! (aw's)

 

[Ricky]

You know what. I give him points for balls.

He's just playing a numbers game.

And you are right if he was a DJ he wouldn't have to resort to this necesarily.

Then again what do I know. I haven't had sex in 4 months and in my new town I'm just finally starting to get to know some people.

 

[penkitten]

he does have balls.
2...

I live in the UK and have been to London many times.

Approaching girls is fine. Sometimes they do get embarressed, but at the end of the day, whether a girls from the states, the UK or Zimbabwe, human nature will always be the same.

 

[soupa]

the ****... hahahahahhahahaha

i had a teacher named jeremy butler and hes about that age now...

damn...

 

[McKindley]

Sitting under a "girlfriend wanted" banner may be a little AFC, but the man has balls of steel. Which counts for a lot, if you ask me.

 

[So pimp its scary]

You know what... Whoever fvcking bashed this guy fvcking sucks... you can take your finger and pull it out of your ass because this guy did everything that this site stands for.

He was an AFC, and always had problems with women, making him very negative and CYNICAL, and thus UNNAPPROACHABLE. So the guy goes 4 years of this silent despair, he likely just continued on his life as usual. Finally, he said to himself, "I gotta do SOMETHING to fix this situation NO MATTER WHAT!!!"

He grabbed his balls, and he went full tilt to get what he wanted. He was mysterious, he was confident, he had a RESTORATION IN HIS FAITH in humanity. If any of you that bashed him had half the balls to actually get sh!t handled NO MATTER WHAT. You would quickyl find that things are ALOT easier than you make it out to be.

This site tells all of us, do something original, be confident, be mysterious, don't be clingy/needy. This guy accomplished all of the above, and with 96 numbers, and I bet 90 of them are real. When was the last time you went out and got 96 fvcking numbers in one day... and fvck off if you try and tell me otherwise without a detailed story as to how it was accomplished. My record has been 7 numbers and brought number 8 home with me or 11 numbers (whichever counts for more), which isn't all that incredible, especially side by side.

The guy made out an APPLICATION FORM to qualify the girls. That says alot about him, he is selective, ONLY THOSE SELECTED WILL BE CONTACTED, he knows what he wants, and he'll do anything to get it.

Props to the guy.

I forget if I got this off of the DJ Bible or some post, but this reminds me of went I read about taking risks and relating it to male peacocks. The bird's out there with a giant mass of feathers and noticable as all hell. A predator comes along, he'd be hard pressed for a way to escape. Yet this method attracts a mate.

It is putting you're self apart from the crowd and taking a risk of some sort that just recently worked for me. I think what this guy did is along the same lines.

In folly or wisdom, what he did does take a lot of guts tho (at least, i'd think so).

 

[jprjrjr]

I don't think many of these women felt "sorry" for the guy. By putting up his little sign, he became somewhat of a celebrity.(And we know women like celebrities) Whether any of the dates works out, who knows? But that's the same with any relationship.

I think the guy definitely pulled a DJ move.
