This article is a follow-up to “How to Seduce a Hot Woman in Thirty Minutes or Less ” as well as a stand-alone article about why it’s sometimes important to look for profundity even when your knee-jerk reaction says its not there.

When, two nights ago, I invited fourteen female friends over to my house decide on a seduction strategy that’d work for the average nice guy in thirty minutes or less…. I was setting them up for failure!
Yes, it’s basically impossible to seduce any woman in thirty minutes or less… unless payment is involved or it’s a certain type of bar. And none of the women I had invited over, as far as I knew, seemed to qualify.
When they started talking, they realized that there was an even bigger obstacle to creating a single seduction strategy: They were all attracted to different types of men!
Sandra couldn’t resist “men who liked romantic comedies”, Jenny couldn’t resist “a bad man in leather,” and Janie preferred men with “big, sizable wallets.” And that was just the beginning…
But my friends – who put up with my crazy ideas for reasons I sometimes don’t understand – didn’t have a choice. They had to come up with an answer… they had to come up with a storyline that, hopefully, made at least some sense! So as the night dragged on, they drank more and more hoping, perhaps, that alcohol – if nothing else – could help them to agree on something.
And finally they did. They agreed on the sequence of events that I posted for you yesterday. Were they all happy with it? No… none of them were. But at least it was something… at least it was an answer… a story.
So why set these women up for failure? Why force them to create a story that didn’t fully satisfy any of them… or me… and likely wouldn’t satisfy you?
Because there was an important life lesson in their attempt to find answers… one that became even stronger and clearer as the comments rolled in (some of which were so negative and vulgar that they couldn’t be posted).
The Lesson
Each of us is trying to make sense of experiences that can’t fit cleanly into any single answer or story. Some of us are wondering how to seduce women, others are wondering whether to make a career change, others are wondering what “God” means to them… the list is endless.
Most of us compromise and achieve temporary satisfactions by choosing imperfect answers or stories. These answers or stories make some sort of sense to us – and allow us to end difficult nights that might otherwise go on forever. But likely, there are at least five billion people to whom they will sound funny or downright stupid!
****
Our merely funny answers or stories – and we all have them – are a big part of how we make sense of a complicated world… And though they don’t hurt others, that doesn’t stop others from taking offense, and then oftentimes going on the offense.
But such knee-jerk reactions create hostilities that need not exist.
If instead of jerking our knees, we, as a community, can look at a hard-to-believe answer about how to seduce a woman in thirty minutes or less, enjoy it for whatever it is, and find that even in its stupidity, there is perhaps something profound… then we’ve found common ground where there previously was none.
Okay… now I get it.
This was a nice idea, especially funny since I believe there actually IS a good way to seduce maybe eight out of ten women. Most of us function in more or less the same way, I think, except for details.
Nevertheless I would have liked to hear those women discussing “The Strategy” over dinner, that must have been a very entertaining evening.
The advice definitely did have the feel of having been designed by committee. I think the lesson here is that when you try to appeal to everyone at once, you wind up appealing to no one.
ummm……i mean……that was very profound. deep. thank you for your clarity.
It takes genius, confidence, and a lot of guts to make a posting like the one you did yesterday, let people give you a beating for it, and then turn it around and offer important real-world, straightforward, advice.
I’ve been reading this blog for the past few months (stumbled upon it by searching on Google for “parallel processing” and “brain”), and I haven’t stopped being impressed — albeit in different ways — by each post.
I’d love to know more about who you are, and I’m waiting to see what you’ve done with Avanoo.
A fan,
Janice
Okay, so I was right.
The only thing you’ve proven is that there is no right answer for all people.
Personally, I’d like to see a responsible approach to seducing women. How will you protect yourself for sexually transmitted disease? How will you prevent an unwanted pregnancy? How will you handle the emotional fallout of having sex with a woman you know nothing about and whom may have had sex with you expecting to actually have a relationship?
There are many sites and books geared to teaching men the tricks, manipulations, and lies that lead to seduction. Yet there is never any talk of sexual responsibility. Women are portrayed often as creatures not worthy of honesty, consideration, and are nothing more than prey.
Why? I have a few ideas but they label me as a man basher. Oh well.
