Eff you all.

I hate Valentine's Day more than I hate winter.

And not because I'm an old grouch, either.

Because I'm a romantic. And Valentine's day absolutely sucks for anyone who is a romantic *and* single.

I have no doubt that Rourke's system would work to get a date. Indeed, I'm pretty sure it would work to get sex, if that's what you were going for.

But romance?

By the time I asked 20 people out in one day I'd be so exhausted by the no's and the stress leading up to them that I'd end up ....well, the last thing I could imagine ending up would be romantic.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Mrs. D got a dozen roses yesterday (I got a real good deal about a month ago). It's sausage week, so the odds of me getting laid are about as good as Wade's. We do have Mrs. D's Christmas Party on Saturday night, so if I get her really hammered my odds go up exponentially.

Romance is for women and gay men.

It's Valentine's Day today, and there's no reason why any of you guys should be spending the night alone unless you genuinely want to.

So I'm going to make you a deal.

I've made this offer to dozens of guys over the years, but no one has ever taken me up on it. So in honor of Saint Valentine and all he represents, I'm going to sweeten the deal a bit.

Here are my terms.

You agree that between now and, say, 8:00 p.m. your time, you will approach 20 women. Now these must be women you find genuinely attractive, so they should be women that make you feel pretty nervous to talk to. You will make the same proposal to every one of them. It must be simple and, most importantly, direct. In other words, it must state both attraction and intention.

May I suggest walking up to her and saying something like:

You: Excuse me . . . [wait for her to actually pay attention to you, which can take a few seconds!] I just want to tell you that I find you very attractive . . . and I want to take you on a date tonight. What's your name?

Chances are most of them will be flabbergasted and won't know what to say at first -- so they'll laugh in an attempt to break the tension -- but persevere anyway. I guarantee you that at least one of them will be single and will be flattered by the offer.

If you can provide video or audio evidence that you approached 20 attractive women today and not a single one of them accepted your offer of a date (it won't happen, but if it does), I will send you [strike]$20[/strike] $100 in cold, hard cash. That's how confident I am that this works.

All you have to do is agree to post the evidence on a members-only forum that I run.

Now obviously, if you are successful in your quest for a date, you get nothing. If you only proposition 19 women, you get nothing. If you proposition 25 women and nothing pans out, you still only get the $100. I'm not promising you sex or even a makeout session -- you're on your own for that -- I'm just promising you'll get a date with a woman you find genuinely attractive.

As I said, no one has ever taken me up on this challenge, but I know it works because I've never had to proposition remotely close to 20 women to get a date, not even when I was a sickeningly skinny guy who barely weighed 140 lbs.

Courage, not confidence, my brothers.

I'm tempted to throw on my Cosby sweater, aviators, jean cutoffs, flip-flops and gel my hair back before I do this just so I can make sure I get that 100 bucks. However I'm afraid there might be some women that are into that. I do have a video camera so I might have to try this.

So which woman/gay man gave Mrs. D her roses?

The fact that they were cheap doesn't mean you didn't give them. It just shows that you temper your romance with frugality. Because unless you're sending them to a funeral home or your mom, giving roses is still a romantic act.

Not to mention your regular use of [strike]honey[/strike] nectar to...er...well, whatever you and Mrs D use the honey for after the Christmas party. What is that if not the romantic in you. 🙂

A dozen Yellow roses (Her Fav), some ocean mist scented oil burning in the background.. the kids in bed and a homemade Fettuccine Alfredo dinner for her upon returning home from working late.

Dakota's "tough" guy post notwithstanding.. once a year to float a little romance out there isn't overly taxing.

Can't forget the chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert. 🙂

Giving flowers has nothing to do with romance and everything to do with making her feel guilty about treating me, well, kind of like all of you do all year. I got nothing today but I told her I will be collecting on Saturday night.

Well I'm off to make sausage, you pansies can keep talking about what a crock this holdiay is.

Hmmmm. He didn't stipulate that I have to take my wedding ring off or that I had to ask women who weren't wearing a wedding ring of their own...this could work... :icon_smile:

I was going to add in asking 20 women with a man on their arm, but then getting punched out 20 times isn't worth $100 bucks (only $5 per beat down...)
