Mr Know It All - you've been proven to be a racist fool in one of MY threads that you invaded (and totally changed the subject from what i was talking about) - now you are just more of a fool
I read through that thread you linked to and he didn't say anything racist at all. People are way too quick to call people racist. It's just wrong man.
Back on topic, knowitall's technique CAN work, I've seen it. My impression of it is that it IS a cop out way of asking a chick out and something that mostly pvvssies would be attracted to. (I'm not calling knowitall a pvvssy, but fact is that is who it would appeal most to.)
Personally, I probably have worst approach anxiety in history but I don't like this technique. I would prefer to develop the ability where i see a chick i find hot, bang, i go for her and take the lead. Waiting around for HER to call ME just isn't appealing.
But as I said, this can work. I've seen it work. I remember two occasions of it, two different buddies of mine. Both buff, good looking guys. First one was we were out for pizza and he saw this chick on another table. I'd give her about 7.5 (maybe 8). He wrote his number down on a piece of paper, walked up to her, told her he was attracted to her and to give him a call some time. The other time was the other friend, who is really good looking and he has fvvcked dozens of high quality chicks but, like me, hates approaching (he's backed out of it plenty of times, right in front of me). We were at a nightclub and he gave this chick his card, saying "I know you were checking me out, give me a call". Both of them ended up getting called and these girls became their girlfriends.
Personally, in the first situation (busy restaurant) I think it's not a bad technique at all. What else are you gonna do? Sit down at their table and try to "open their set" with the "g-string" opener or something? Lol, i'd love to be around to see that. (Not saying it couldn't work, just that i've never seen it). I think giving your number in this case could be a good move. You put something into your line about how this time and place isn't convenient for meeting but you'd love to see her.
In the other situation, in the nightclub, it's pretty lame. Still, it worked for my friend, and would probably work for a lot of other guys too, but nightclubs man, if you're already good looking (which is the only people for who giving your number out is gonna work) then nightclubs are the place where you cash in anyway, so giving your number out is just stupid.
All in all, if it works it works. As long as you've got the skill to suggest an isolation date after she calls you (your/her place to "watch a movie", or something like that) and the skill to escalate it, I don't really see a problem with who called who first. But for me, I would prefer to learn how to properly approach girls, rather than just giving them my number and slinking away.
