My friend sent me this link and told me it made her think of me. Although it's from the Oprah site :roll: , I think it's got a lot of good info and it might as well have been written by an Aspie.

"Damn, I'm Hot!" (stupid name, but just ignore that)

I think so. It's good advice regardless of whether you're trying to attract someone or not: know what you're attracted to, be a good listener, have your own interests and don't focus on someone else to fulfill you.

It just happens to mimic the "games" most people play of acting interested and then backing off so they can chase you. Actually, what's probably happening is that the "games" are a way to mimic how you'd act if you're living a healthy life.

The difference is that by being healthy, you're not purposely trying to manipulate someone (which I personally find reprehensible).

Oh yes, great advice. "Show cleavage to get what you want." Just what every women needs to do to become a valued person.

lol. You know, maybe women need to up their visual standards regarding men. I think males should start having butt corsets and showing butt cleavage....oh wait...plumbers do that already and it doesn't look sexy at all :cry:

Hmmm... I read the article. Very humorous writing, but I missed that part, unless you're ordering Mexican food.

What do you think a girl is showing when she unbuttens the top button on her blouse (which would actually be the second button down as its uncouth to have your blouse fully buttoned in the first place)

Did you get past page one of the article and see what Beck was actually advising, unless you're ordering Mexican food?

Great article! I can relate, because I am a lot like the author. I would never pretend interest in someone that I didn't actually find interesting. I never understood all the how-to manuals out there, which gave you a whole list of instructions for pretending to be somebody you are not. The advice I find really annoying, is when they list all the places to find single men, and then advice you to frequent those places. If I don't find those places interesting, I'm certainly not going to waste my time there! Or when they say to pretend an interest in sports, to get some guys attention.

ppl read the full article please. It was useful advice. It was never about showing cleavage to get what you want; it was about the exact opposite.

Kalister1, Sedaka, poopylungstuffing- what are you talking about?
