How to get girls if you’re a gamer
Sky One’s Gamezville host gives gamers his top tips for wooing the ladies. It’s all about learning formulas, and nothing about chemistry at all
Apparently, attracting ladies is just as easy as working out how to thrash an end of level boss in a computer game. At least that’s what Adam Lyons, former G-team computer game expert on Sky One’s Gamezville reckons. Now a self-proclaimed ‘pick-up artist,’ Lyons has decided to share his wisdom with the rest of the world to show us how it’s done.
‘We’ve been doing it against those end of level bosses for years,’ said Lyons, ‘all I’ve done is shift the focus from the screen onto the girls!’ Unfortunately, human beings aren’t like end of level bosses, as they have their own personalities and are capable of making their own decisions, but that hasn’t stopped Lyons from releasing his top five tips for wannabe womanisers, which are listed below:
1) Open, Open, Open - If you don't speak to someone your chances of success are almost zero. When you see someone you like, make sure you take the initiative.
2) Try a Direct approach - Here' you lay your heart on the line. Be genuine. "I'm sorry to bother you, it's just... well if I didn't say hi I'd kick myself, Hi I'm (insert name here) then take it from there.
3) ...or try the indirect route - Ask someone for directions, ask them their suggestion on a good meal for lunch. Anything to get the conversation started....just don't ask for the time! It almost always gives the game away.
4) Be Social - One of the most attractive qualities is the ability to be comfortable in a social setting It displays confidence, as well as social etiquette. If you aren't comfortable in new situations with strangers then bring friends, just make sure they aren't going to let the side down.
5) Praise your mates - When we meet someone new one of the first things we do to try and impress the opposite sex is to insult our mates. Don't do it! Instead try saying how cool they are, listing a great ability they have, or something they did that helped you. If you are associated with cool people, (and naturally you get them to return the favour) then you are much more attractive than the person going around telling everyone his best friend has a bad case of flatulence.

Usually i'd rush them, and let my mate take all the aggro

i suppose i just don't like the idea that it's that easy to basically manipulate someone into thinking a certain way and i would show them my 3d mark score but til i get my new pc my willy's much bigger i can't tell which direction that's funny in

It's about creating opportunities to be noticed. If your a complete *$%! after that I think it might shine through. Hasn't anybody seen "Hitch"?

I've never had a problem with girls, I definitely don't need a school for it. All you need is a little confidence, and to be yourself. I played with girls rather than computers for a couple of years, it left me with little knowledge of current technology and games and with even less money.

Lol what a brilliant example of a "non-story"! I particularly enjoyed: [b]‘We’ve been doing it against those end of level bosses for years,’ said Lyons, ‘all I’ve done is shift the focus from the screen onto the girls!’ [/b] Sky TV at it's best!

wegreenall, try readiing cosmo or some other girly mags (no, mags for girls, not those ones), you'll find it's full of the same regular variations on the same theme. Or even the rather famous men are from mars guff. We all do what comes naturally to us, this stuff generally goes out the window when faced with 'the enemy' unless loads of practice is put in. And it is often just a game, like any other, just a result that carries both risk & reward.

I hope that young lady has agreed to have her image used in his advertising campaigns. If not, his new 'business' could be open to all sorts of litigation.

i hate this stuff i don't have a problem with attracting ladies or anything, it's so stupid and if i was a girl i'd hate the idea that i could be "got" by just using a few simple see through techniques it's soooo stupid and the fact that he is acting like you need to go to school to learn how to do it makes "it" seem like some sort of hard to develop skill, when it is actually nothing
