View Full Version : 24 ways to impress a girl
Fragz

Found this
1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better" this will keep her on her toes, and girls love that.
2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness (or if she grabs your hand squeeze hers really, really hard until she cries. This will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are.)
3. Once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Girls are like dogs. They love to be roughed up.
4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is say "you better be" , repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. This will show her you care.
5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement, and every girl needs some improvement.
6. Recognize the small things, they usually mean the most. Then when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them. Because jewellery is for pussy's and Asian ladies.
7. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When she is, stare into her eyes mouth the words fcuk you and grab the other girls arse. Girls love competition.
8. Tell her you're taking her out to dinner. Drive for miles so she thinks it's going to be really special. Then take her to a burning tire yard. When she starts to get upset tell her you were just kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. Then drive her home. When she starts crying and asks why you would do something like that lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because I can."
9. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick". Women love those special nicknames.
10. Play with her hair. Play with it HARD.
11. Warm her up when she's cold...and not by giving her your jacket... then you might get cold. Rather, look her in the eye and say "if you don't stop b*tching about the cold right now you're going to be b*tching about a black eye." The best way to get warm is with fear.
12. Take her to a party. When you get there she'll have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the party's dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you at the party.
13. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet. Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny. Why shouldn't girls
14. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR Repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for more important things. Like basketball.
15. Spit often. I hear girls like guys that spit.
16. If you care about her never ever tell her. This will only give her self confidence. Then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.
17. Every time you're in her house steal one of the following: shoes, earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way she'll go crazy.
18. Take her out to dinner. Right when she's about to order interrupt and say NO" she's not hungry". Make her watch you eat. Girls love a guy that speaks for her.
19. Look her in the eyes and smile . Then clock her one. Girls love a spontaneous guy.
20. Give her one of your t-shirts... and make sure it has your smell on it. But not a sexy cologne smell. A bad smell. You know what I'm talking about.
21. If you're listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her no. This way she'll think you're mysterious.
22. Remember her birthday but don't get her something. Teach her rial objects aren't important. The only thing that's important is that she keeps you happy. And your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.
23. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just whenever, take it and tell her you love it. Then next time you know she's coming over on a trash day leave the trash can open and have the present visibly sticking out of the can. Girls actually don't like this one that much but I think it's funny.
24. If she's mad at you for not calling her when you say you will, promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This will make sure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call you're going to tell her a special surprise. now she'll be really excited. now don't call. That's also quite funny.

02-27-2007, 12:35 AM
lol theyre all funny but is this real i mean itll piss the girls off
look ill try to make 5 :
1.never do what fragz said!
2.if shes looking at your stuff, lock the doors and exits out of your room(note: do this only late in relationship)this will get the romance going
3.make sure your family doesnt meet her until you do this one:
get one of youre friends that can kinda do a voice like youre dad(if you dont have any dont try) and make it seem like youre family doesnt like her(with friend) this always gets a girl in the mood(most do what theyre not allowed) then say yor family wont reveal it in public so she understands why theyre nice most of the time
4.when she gives you a present say you love it and then when she calls say youre using it(if it can be used): example:
that new video game you got me is exciting!
5.if she says shes a fan of something say you are to and hope that she doesnt talk about it off the bat then learn about it ex:
one piece fan=watch one piece

You know, there's this guy I know who's my friend's friend and he's just like that to his gf...I don't know why..he's so weird but his gf's another pathetic woman..because after all the shit he does to her, she still won't dump him. Instead she talks about how hard it was to make him fall in love with her etc etc and she won't give up..
I think it's plain stupidity ~sigh~

ROTFLMSAOLOLAWLOMFGWTFBBQPANCAKES!
That's hilarious. Especially the last ones. LMAO!
I got a few:
1. If your girlfriend ever asks you if the dress she's wearing makes her butt look big, reply, "No, you just have a really huge ass." I hear that most girls would take that as a compliment.
2. If she cons you into watching a chick flick, don't pretend to cry. Girls hate pansies. Instead, laugh your ass off whenever someone dies in the movie. Girls love a guy who laughs at the face of death.
3. When your girlfriend asks you to go shopping with her, decline her offer. Later, when she brings up how much fun she had shopping with her friends, tell her you didn't go with her because you knew she'd have a better time with them than she would with you. She will think you actually care about her feelings, instead of you not going because you didn't want to spend a lot of money on her.
4. When you come to a corner on the street with a puddle under it. Don't take off your jacket for her to step on. She will think that you are fast to throw away your belongings. Instead, find the nearest hobo, and throw them infront of her to step on. This way, she'll see that you not only care about her, but that you're willing to give filthy hobos free baths.

This would be a one way ticket to death for me....all the girls I know, and the one I like, would kill me and anyone else who came within 50 feet of them if this happened. Sadly, most of the girls at my school are state weightlifting champions....so yea.....they would team up........and kill us.......

If I met a guy who was like that (refers to 1st post) to a woman. I wouldn't hesitate in killing him. That's how a stupid idiotic dickhead would act and that's a surefire way of breaking the woman's heart and ruining a relationship.
I'm gonna get burned by someone now but it's worth it. Proves that the truth hurts.

well, i guess these are made for people with nothing to lose. who knows, one of the girls might have a peculiar taste in men.
Here is my best:
Whenever she welcomes you home in a "Honey welcome back" tone.
scream this:
"Shut up *****, make me some pie."
or
"Go back to the kitchen woman, and make me a sandwich"
women love to be in kitchen related activities, encourage them.

Wouldn't it be easier for you to chain her to the stove, forcing her to yell "Honey welcome back" while she's baking the pie. Personally installing the chain would impress her with your wonderful skills in using power tools.
And yes I'm female and I think it's pretty funny.

ive followed those steps before and u'll be amazed at how well they work but i have to add a few.
25. If u actually get her to sleep with you, throw he out the second you're finished, and while she is gathering her things to leave call an old GF. That way she'll know ur a busy man with a lot of things to do.
26. If she ever invites you to see her parents, act like a totaly different person. So the next time you beat her...you got allies!

I can relate to this one right here
I think you just killed a few care-bears.
ignore the gaiafag for greater justice.
28: Remember, women are emphatic creatures, make yourself the same and you will understand how they feel, put on your lion suit and make her hunt for the food, shopping for grocery, clean the house, when done, never appreciate and eat first, always do your thing to show who is the man of the house.

Yes you've said that over and over again. There's no need to say the same thing in more than one post. It's merely a joke that people find funny. Not every joke is centered around a harmless/non-cruel act. I'm asking that you just let it go.
This is so funny and cruel, I can't do this stuff it's to mean.

Girls are not happy if you buy them stuff. They will be like.. WTF. Instead buy them things on occasion. and in spontanious.
Also, pulling the hair is golden! YOu only do it when you are buying tempo, i.e. building attraction, intercourse, ect. its a primal way of doing it. You only do it once, and have no regrets. What you do is pull her hair from the back of her head, run your hands on the back of her skull, up the roots and pull. Dont yank or jerk, its a pleasing feeling, i love it. Once you pull, look her in the eyes and say 'i want to kiss you so bad, but you been a bad girl.' pull away and act as if it never happened.

No, they dont like it if they dont know you or have built a connection to you. There are two types of men in every womens lives. the 1st group would be those who are 'just friends' and nothing more. Then there are those who built an emotional connection to her. Those men who built a connection can do this.
Pulling the hair releases feelings in her, primal feelings. you only do it once, not like 565406540 times. I done it before and it works like a charm. But you cant just come from a goffy mind set, you do it from a mindset of a charmer, someoen who is different from most men in her life. Simple no?

haha.
These are funny.
No doubt the creator is crazy? lol. J/k... or am I?
My personal fave is:
8. Tell her you're taking her out to dinner. Drive for miles so she thinks it's going to be really special. Then take her to a burning tire yard. When she starts to get upset tell her you were just kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. Then drive her home. When she starts crying and asks why you would do something like that lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because I can."
