Just a little PSA for the guys, I just want to remind you that nothing good comes out of "being yourself" when it comes to meeting a woman. Especially in a club or party or any social setting where people go to be seen. Please don't have the audacity to think that they will be enamored by the wonder that is the real you. You surf porn...alot...and you like Star Wars a litte bit too much. Its also not fascinating that you like Matthew Broderick movies and that you have every episode of the Simpsons videotaped even before the Season collection dvd's came out. She's not going to want to know that you've only been employed outside of retail for less than a year AND she won't be impressed that you can get her 20% off at the Gap cuz your homie's got the hooks. Don't expect compliments for mentioning that you dabble in poetry or that you keep a journal or captain's log or whatever...cuz no matter what they say, thats still a diary. And guys, diaries are never good except for maybe if you're name is Lewis and you have a buddy named Clark and you're trying to explore the territory west of the Missouri River.
So what's a guy to do? Lie! Yeah, some people will call it softer words like "Embelishment" or "fibbing" or even "fact omission" but whatever it is, its all about selling a fantasy. People in general, not just women, want to be lied to a little bit. If not lied to then EASED into the truth at the very least. If the woman assumes alot of positive things about you that aren't necessarily true or only partially true, then don't correct her so fast. Oh that sportscar you drove isn't yours --its your brothers and you just borrowed it for the night? You keep that info to yourself. After all, she's the one who is assuming its yours. Believe me, there will be plenty of time for her to assess what the hell she got herself into later on. In the meantime, appear to be a go-getter, an into cool shit, in-the-know kind of guy.
Don't be afraid to steal anecdotes and stories that never happened to you. Ignore your friend when he gives you that "What the hell? that happened to ME, not YOU" look...he'll understand. It's all part of the show and at the end of the night, you may have given your new lady friend visions of this amazing person that she knows deep inside couldn't possibly be real. It's OK! How much fun is it to talk about what we will do when we win the lottery? Same thing! Ok maybe NOT the same thing but we all want to believe that it can happen to us. Should she decide to buy into your BS...its fair game buddy, because she's probably put on the same show for you. That busy, jet-setting, independent career girl that you think you're getting to know spends most of her nights watching dramas on the WB in torn up old sweats and occasionally still messes with her loser ex-boyfriend because her self-esteem has been through the wringer.
To be fair, there will be times when its probably ok to be yourself. Say if you happen to meet a girl at the library, the bakery or maybe even at Costco, but even then its best to just stick to the above plan.
Good luck fellas, play the game with no guilt because you're just a player and good players use all their advantages to get (a)head.
