Attention all men:

Acting "sexy" a-la The Ladies' Man or Austin Powers DOES NOT WORK. I cannot stress this enough. A friend of mine went to a guy's house to get back some poems she'd written and loaned to him for feedback purposes, and the guy answered the door with all the lights out and his shirt half unbuttoned. He then proceeded to read her her OWN WRITING in this so-called "sexy" voice... and it was a story about a guy who died playing Russian roulette. Meanwhile, she's trying to escape this guy's clutches (he was half sitting in her lap) and making her discomfort quite obvious in the process. He just kept on going until his dad walked in on them. I wish I was there to see it; apparently the ensuing scene was pretty funny.

In conclusion.... men, don't act all debonair and bedroom-y with a girl you want to fuck. Because you won't get to fuck her. Ever. Not legally, anyway. If you want to get in a girl's pants, just act natural and learn to take "no" for an answer. Honestly. This isn't difficult.
