Nathan Blades shares his tips for successful Christmas shopping
James Tompkinson shares his experience of the all important Christmas shopping.
1. You’re too argumentative and attached to your opinions. Yeah, you can have opinions but don’t attach your ego to being right. It shows insecurity. If someone says something you disagree with, you don’t always have to argue with them. You can just respond with “yeah... maybe” then move on.
2. You spend too much time thinking and don’t take enough action.
3. You don’t have the delusional sense of confidence that dumb guys often have.
4. You try too hard to impress that girl with that clever comment you have. Even saying things that are clever and funny can sometimes be a bad thing if it’s obvious you’re trying to get a reaction out of the girl.
5. You make it too calculated. You decide you like a girl, then think about what you’re going to say to her, you work out how you’re going to ask her out etc. Don’t do this. Let life play on spontaneously. Make sure you’re having fun and meeting new people and then just see where the moment takes you.
6. You care too much about what people think about you. You know that guy who acts like an idiot and you and your friends always laugh at. But he’s too dumb to lose confidence about it. Be that guy.
7. You’re too pre-occupied with social rules and stuff. Act purely through your own intentions and not through what others think you ‘should’ do.
8. You have to clarify every bloody point. Like the people who will comment on this article with “lots of intelligent people get laid as well you know”.
9. You’re too good at rationalising. Your brain loves to find reasons why you shouldn’t take action. (It’s to do with protecting your ego and the image you’ve built up of yourself in your head.) Smart people are just too good at this.
10. You find all the reasons that you can't live that rockstar life. Your story of how your childhood went and caused your crappy personality and poor belief systems, sure, it’s accurate. You are correct. It is very accurate. You're lame because your parents...blah blah blah. Or because someone has blah blah blah expectations you have to uphold. Well, you're right. Nobody is going to argue with you. But if you want to get laid with hot girls, don't focus on being right. Focus on the hot girls instead.
I would never sleep with a guy who didn't have something interesting to say. I would instantly deem boring a guy who just responded weakly, 'Yeah... maybe' when he actually had an opinion of his own. This whole article couldn't be further off the mark, at least for me.
I think this is more a case of similar intellects attract. I want someone who is on an intellectual par with me, or is more intelligent. It's hugely attractive. If you're a hot girl that isn't that intelligent, or rather, doesn't care as much about intellectual topics or whatever, then this article will be perfect for 'getting' those sorts of girls. This article just can't apply to all hot girls; it's impossible to do that. Not all hot girls are dumb.
Totally agree with the above post. For me, intelligence is actually one of the biggest turn-ons.
over-intelligent, arrogant and argumentative though..... not so much. so, some fair points 
love this. love you.

What planet are you on and how can I get there?
this is very true.
I have a few issues with this article. Although, this tactic may have worked for you I think I speak for many when I say that I think it is possible to get with, or ideally get together with, a nice and hot girl without sacrificing your dignity and acting like a twat. There is merit here and in all your articles, but I personally think you should be careful as your wording can sound preachy and a little lecherous at times.
The thing about attraction and relationships is that it is not an exact science so representing your opinons as factual assertions can be dangerous and result in the, rightfully, angry replies from the girls that you sometimes seem to disparage in your articles by deeming them as statistics in a scientific experiment. Obviously there is place for everyones personal philosophies and there are many that will appreciate your tips wholeheartedly. However, ideally you should probably try not to annoy those who have different ideals by representing such strong views as fact.
Overall, keep up the good work, but please, for yourself as much as anything, stay away from the male chauvinism.
All the best.
Bless you. Someone's got a chip on their shoulder...
