AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of "stunts" or actions that can impress women, sparked by a personal anecdote about a humorous interaction with a limousine driver. Participants share various experiences and opinions on what might impress women, ranging from humorous pick-up lines to more extravagant gestures. There is a debate about the effectiveness of flashy displays, such as modified cars or extravagant tips at bars, versus genuine behavior like being oneself or showing thoughtfulness. Some contributors emphasize that being authentic and listening to women can be more effective than trying to perform stunts. Others share bizarre or humorous stories of attempts to impress, highlighting the thin line between charming and creepy behavior. Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of light-hearted storytelling and serious reflections on dating dynamics, with a consensus that authenticity often trumps theatrics in making a genuine connection.

Successful stories? Anyone?

I have one, but kinda an accident:

When I was young in high school, there was this limosine slowed down near me and the front-side window were rolled down. The chauffeur lowered his head and yelled, eh kid, know where *** street is?

I smiled back to him and said: I just moved here with my parents.

Then a girl in my neighboring class showed up right beside me, and she found me smiling. So she was like: what are you so happy about? What did you say to that guy in the limo?

I smiled at her evenly and said: I told him I'd rather walk.

I'm not sure that I'd categorize it as a "stunt", but when I was in my 30's my ability to breathe through my ears was for some reason popular with the ladies.

Whaah? Tympanic membrane perforation is nothing to be toyed with?
 
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 :rolleyes:

But... they are :confused:
 
I think any display of remarkable cool under stress would impress any female. It would impress most males, for that matter.
 
Some little kind act.
 
A girl has to impress me for me to be interested.

Could somebody else please explain it to the poor lad. I've already had enough infractions.

Most of my stunts have done the exact opposite of impressing females.

I'm told that Women are blown away by small inexpensive economy cars that have had tens of thousands of dollars of after-market modifications; extra spoilers, exotic tires, flamboyant paint jobs, active hydraulic suspension, multi-kilowatt sound systems, huge engines with illegally loud exhausts, etc.

Is making 6 figures and working out daily a stunt?

Looks like I'll be 'pimping out' my crappy peugot!

Ha! Thats an amazing line! Kudos for you!
As for impressing a female, that is a good question. If you ever find an answer, let me know :)

In a bar once, a guy grabbed the hem of my dress and put his lit cigarette through it. There was no damage to my dress. THAT was impressive, although so bizarre to come up to a strange woman and do that that I got as far away from him as possible.

That's one of the strangest things I've ever heard. I can't begin to sort out what he was thinking.

No classy girl will be impressed by ricer rockets.

Lesson learned: treat a woman like trash or put her in harms way will instantly imprint your characteristics in her read-only-memory.

Very valuable information. Thanks. Will apply it when possible.

He said it was a magic trick, apparently meant to impress me.

I hear women tend to have quite a bit of success in hunting the "deep diverse" prey that is man with the aid of a push up bra and a low cut blouse. Some bold ladies even forgo the bra.

I thought to impress a woman it was to 'take out the trash', and do some other simple fun stuff like washing the dishes, not tracking dirt and mud on the floor, pick up your socks, not putting your feet on the coffee table when watching TV, and of course removing that engine overhaul kit with the pistons, rings and bearings from the corner of the living room to the garage.

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.

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! :cry:

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.

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. :smile: 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! :-p 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.

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

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

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.

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.
