I recommend the Casanova method: Praise the smart ones for their looks, and the pretty ones for their brains.

And if you find one who's both smart and pretty, marry her. That's what I did. :D

I think any man who told a lady nowadays that she had "legs as stately and firm as marble pillars" would probably find himself firmly kicked by one of the pillars.

Here's a more modern variation ;) : Darling, your botox-stiffened face is as serenely beautiful as the Venus de Milo's

"Her breasts are soft and tender as the Pelican's."


Was feeling up pelicans a common practice back then?

"You got my interest, wanna have a drink?".

This is the shortcut way.

Nothing beats compliments when they least expect them.

I got to go find a pelican. I really doubt they are that soft. Now chinchillas I can believe those little buggers are soft.

"Her breasts are the soft Pillows of love."

WAT? If someone tried to court me in that way, I would probably send them on their way :lol: Creepy!

we're out there.
you are right most people are rude and self centered now adays, but it is the ME generation after all :(

my compliments are about their looks, clothes, and personality.

like " you're so playful and fun"
or "you have gorgeous eyes"

LOL.

How to give a compliment: Give the compliment, then back it up with a (decent) reason. Otherwise it's without meaning - empty and insincere.

Since it appears to be replacing compliments lately(its based on showing a girl that she got your attention somehow)

OK, confessions time, how I met my girlfriend.

I was at the gym and whilst I was working my way around the machines I noticed one of the trainers working with a pretty pony-tailed*** woman. For some reason this guy ALWAYS seemed to train the good looking women so I went up and asked him, "Klaus, how come you always get to train the pretty girls?"

She was in earshot, heard what I said, we got talking, and we've been together ever since.

If I wasn't an aspie I probably wouldn't have gone up and asked such a blunt question, so, sometimes, having AS can work in our favor.


*** So shoot me, I have a weakness for women with a pony tail
