What kind of stunt would instantly impress a female?

[BobG]

This question assumes that unlike men who are deep and diverse women obviously are so similar that all of them would be interested in the same things

Not only that, but even when talking about the same woman, there's no stunt that works for all males, making things even more confusing.

I remember this woman I had a crush on was really impressed by how her male cat left a dead mouse on her doorstep one morning. So, I went out into a field with a box of mousetraps and left over half a dozen dead mice on her doorstep.

It just didn't have the same effect at all!

I don't know about stunts, I just use my corny pick-up lines.

I wish I was helicase so I could unzip your genes/jeans.

Are you Jamaican because Jamaican me crazy.

If you were a triangle you'd be acute one.

etc. I can go on for hours.

My personal favourite: "I wish I was your derivative so I could be tangent to all your curves..."

Have yet to try it; doubt it'll have much of a success rate though.

Please, do go on! Reader discretion is strongly advised as lawsuit may be filed.

I once impressed a girl (a friend of mine) by not making any attempt to impress her whatsoever. I was helping her to move some stuff into a new apartment (which can't have hurt either). We had to carry the stuff a much longer way than I had first anticipated, and I made a joke about how my upper body strength was barely up to the task. She remarked that it was refreshing to see a guy who wasn't trying to be all macho and boast about his physical strength. I said that I had nothing to prove in that regard.

DISCLAIMER: a girl reacting positively to this sort of honesty/self-awareness might happen, but I suspect that a girl being attracted to it is probably the exception rather than the rule. So don't go out and expect to pick up a whole bunch of chicks using your lack of confidence, your self-deprecating humour, and your scrawny bod, and then come back and blame me when it doesn't work. You might ask, did I get with this girl? No. She did admit to me later that she did have a bit of a crush on me at the time, but I had no idea of this, and therefore missed any opportunity to do anything about it. Now it's too late, since she has a BF.

How immodest! This is but just a forum you know... no need to prove anything...

I can't tell if you're kidding or not. I admitted to being a physically weak person who lacks self-confidence and who utterly failed to get with a girl in spite of the fact that she actually liked me. What part of that, exactly, was boastful, or constituted an attempt to try to prove something? I would say no part.

The statement of mine that you quoted and labelled as "immodest" was intended to be nothing more than a matter-of-fact recounting of an event that occurred.

Of course I'm joking! And you still refuse to be humble...

Oooh, I'm so weak, oooh, I'm delicate yet girls still like me, ooooh, I think I'm going to be an abercrombie model...

You're a jerk.

This thread is about "stunts" that one could pull to try to impress a woman. The only point of my post (and the only reason I posted it) was to point out that sometimes maybe you don't have to try so hard and jump through hoops, and maybe a better approach is just to be yourself. At the end of the day, she'll either be impressed by who you are, or she won't. But giving her a chance to see what you're all about might work better than changing the way you behave in an obviously fake (and totally transparent) way.

The point of including the stuff in the "disclaimer" was to indicate that, in my case, things didn't really turn out in my favour, and, as it turns out, I've got absolutely no game whatsoever. So the point of being honest and sharing with you guys how it turned out was so as NOT to appear to be too superior in offering the above advice, as though I knew better than anyone else. But now, thanks to you, I'm sorry I even bothered.

If you're looking for something generic to break the ice, I would recommend learning a really awesome magic trick. All you need is one, but you need to really know it well, like do it in your sleep well.

I found that if you can pull one off very well in front of a group of women, it's pretty easy to make smalltalk after that and see if there's any chemistry with the cute one ... you know which one I'm talking about, haha. Make sure you talk to her friends too. Granted this is more for if you're meeting random women at a bar or something. Don't forget to dress nicely, groom, etc... that always helps too.

In order to contribute productively to this thread I have found a list of 30 ways females of different species can be impressed. As the OP specified "females" rather than "women" I assume this is what he desired.

WHOA! Did anyone check out the moonwalking bird?

thoughtfulness?

 

[turbo]

thoughtfulness?

Lots of guys would consider that a stunt. "Gee, how to I pretend to be thoughtful?"

 

[Drakkith]

thoughtfulness?

Hmmm. I must be a stuntman and didn't even realize it then...cuz I keep crashing and burning...

But really, I don't think there is a good answer to this thread. "Stunts" aren't one size fits all.

crazy idea: listen to the woman talk for a while. get to know what she likes and does not like. think of something she would enjoy and do it for her. Take pleasure in her enjoyment of it, independently of what you may gain from it. Sit back, sip a drink and be satisfied.

Yep! What a crazy idea! How could that possibly work?

This must explain why a very good friend of mine adores me and tells me I'm not like other guys. I actually listen to her.

 

[mcknia07]

Pretend to like what she does and go with her and enjoy it. Or pretend to, it will win her over

If you don't enjoy it simply be honest. If you didn't enjoy the activity but enjoyed being with her, then say so.

I just talk to them!

Learn to dance.

Roy Blount Jr.'s favorite country song: "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

and his version:"If I said 'you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?', would you hold it against me?"

Perhaps, I think of it in a different light.

I do my "stunts" because I like to do my "stunts", my "stunts" being more a behavior than a stunt. If it happens to instantly impress a female, well then maybe there's a action-reaction attraction going on and I'll look into it.

Some of my typical "stunts" might be:
1. going out dancing all night.
2. walk up to the prettiest girl in the room and ask her to dance.
3. taking charge on a mountain bike ride.
4. throw out non-sequiturs at a party.
5. wearing camo shorts and a Hawaiian shirt (a la M*A*S*H) to the pub.
6. walk into a room with a flare of confidance and perhaps a tad of arrogance

the greatest way to impress a woman is by not trying to impress her.

I've been trying that one for 20 years...

Needless to say I don't think it works.

Bungee jump. Naked. While coated in ether, which you set afire just as you leap.

Challenge a platoon of drunken marines to hand-to-hand combat, and beat them all. I've impressed the heck out of every chick I've performed this stunt in front of.

It sounds trite and stereotypical, but earning a hundred million on the stock market is a stunt sure to impress most women.

I think this one would impress most guys, too!

By the way, how do you keep the rope from burning up before you reach the bottom?

The rope is a steel cable.

Attached to steel ankles, I hope.

Sounds like an instant rafting guide.

"Oh, shoot, and there I was, footloose and panty free in the back of a raft full of girl scouts, with a set of class 6 rapids immediately in front of us..."
