Trick D is closest to the mark in my opinion as he mentions cockiness etc however it is true to say that your approach must be tailored to the type of girl..E.g recently a girl who lives in the apartment above me had a friend stay with her for a night out on the town (she was from a different city)...this girl was a 9.5 minimum...I was throwing a party that night and both of them came down. While every lad present (roughly 20) talked to her at some stage, they all poured on the compliments (love sick puppy syndrome). She was brought over to be introduced to me and instantly I started busting on her...after that she was intrigued and came back for more. During the night I made fun of everything from her hair colour to calling her "mildly attractive", to which she replied "You just can't be nice at all can you"...I couldn't have asked for a better response. This is not an isolated incident although my behaviour was more extreme due to the fact that this girl worked as a model and as a promoter for clubs so was chatted up on average 100+ times per night.There is no magic formula except practice and appearing DIFFERENT...Good luck. For the record I'm of average looks..hasn't stopped me yet..nor should it you
