What Suggestions Do You Have About Dating A Woman Who Lives On The Other Side Of The Country?
I've had dates with women who lived 2,500 miles away... no problem.

But most guys screw this up becoming weak and needy. They say things like, “I might be out your way soon for a conference. Do you think afterward you could meet me?”

Instead, say something like, "I'm going to be in the area on Sunday... so get me while the gettin’ is good... and don't screw this up!"

Remember: YOU are the prize… and you’re NOT looking for her approval.
What Should I Do If I’m Trying To Use Your “Cocky & Funny” Technique But I Go Too Far And Say Something Purely Arrogant, But Not Funny?
This is a common mistake guys make when they first start learning Cocky & Funny… and it’s an easy one to correct.

You have a few choices:

1- Say something AFTERWARD that's funny, that makes the original comment funny.

2- Say, "Oh, I'm just teasing" or give her a sly smile to let her know you were kidding.

3- Laugh at your own comment to signal that it was a joke, and not to be taken seriously.

Of course, you don't want to tell a woman that you're just teasing or laugh at your own comments TOO often because you'll look like a schmuck if you do.

The key to recovering is not letting the fact that you went overboard throw YOU off.

If she gets a little upset, just be cool and calm about the situation, and get back on track with more humor.

And don't worry about it.

You're learning a skill that will increase your success with women FOREVER, so it's OK to make a few mistakes here and there while you're learning.

Does being a jerk attract women?Many Of Your Ideas Sound Like You’re Saying A Guy Should Be An A**Hole If He Wants To Attract Women. Is That True?
Remember: There's a difference between being CALLED an a**hole by a woman and actually BEING one.

If you're being Cocky & Funny, teasing and being a challenge while being considerate, kind, physically stimulating (a-hem), and other "nice" things, and a woman calls you an "a**hole," then say, "I'm really glad you like it!"

Turn it into something Cocky & Funny.

The key is to not actually BECOME a mean, abusive guy.

Women love the challenge, but they don't like the abuse from bad guys.

Give them the positive without the negative.
Reader’s Question
Hi Dave,

First off, not to sound like everyone else, but your stuff rocks!!! With that being said, what's the best way to deal with a girl coming out and saying "Oh, you're so cute/funny/etc..."? Should I ignore it and keep the Cocky & Funny going? Should I address it in a cocky way?"

A couple of my favorite lines to use:

She: You’re so cute. Me: If you want cute, buy a puppy.

She: You’re so funny. Me: Yeah, but looks aren't everything.

It works great to downplay her comments. Make fun of yourself, but don't draw too much attention. Act disinterested in her comments and move on with the conversation. It lets her know you really are comfortable in your skin and she should really be closer to that skin!!

My Comments
Man, I don't even like sheep JOKES anymore.

You know, what I'm wondering is why they sell those blowup sheep DOLLS in the adult stores.

What's the deal? Are they for guys that don't even have enough game to pick up a SHEEP?

OK, whatever.

These are great comebacks.

I personally don't use very much humor that makes fun of myself early on... but your stuff is great.
