"Sentimental" Men Who Say Cute Things to Make Women Go "Aww!"

They're everywhere and it makes me want to throw up in my mouth, swallow it back down, and feel the sting of internal hatred as it burns slowly down my stomach and leaks into the esophagus like acid reflux, but more vile. If baby-punching were legal, it would be the catalyst to a furious fit of rage within nursery walls. I'd go world-wide and spread the glorious, thick crimson paint of my wrath across the Equator just to watch it sizzle and dry under solar rays. All will know that Communism = suck-up, and nobody likes a suck-up.I'm not really angry at you guys, don't worry. I just wanted to be dramatic and light a fire up your asses.
To be more specific, I'm referring to guys who say incredibly cheesy, sweet things in the hopes that a girl will fall for them, sort of like laying a mouse trap with cheese and eventually getting your own dick caught and snapped while poking around it. It's akin to giving the homeless cash instead of food; you never know what they're going to do with your money, but you damn well know they're going to eat up a sandwich and give you nothing in return for it even if they'd much rather have a beer or some drugs. While in reality you would want the second outcome, it works favorably in reverse with women.
You WANT to take a gamble with women when it comes to the things you say. Be bold. Don't be afraid to bust her non-existent balls or tell her what you really like and prefer doing. Instead of feeding her what you think she wants to hear and getting nada for it, throw a wrench into the equation by being being the potential drug. You may not get the results you hope for all the time, but it puts you a step ahead of most men who play it safe and sappy.
Is it as easy as it sounds? No, it's not. It takes a bit of "soul-searching" and practice to wipe the slate clean and re-learn your manner of interaction with the opposite sex. You don't want to be a kitten or an oversized Pomeranian, that's what women really "Aww" over. When a girl reacts in the same way she would towards a cute animal with you, it's generally a sign that you've been friend-zoned or put on a leash just like the aforementioned Pomeranian.
For the untrained male, this may seem like a sure sign of romantic interest. However, they couldn't be more wrong in their assumptions. She likes you, sure... just not in the way you want her to, and it leads to self-loathing and crying at night, usually to a pillow, wondering where you went wrong and why she chooses to date an asshole jock over you, the sweet, sensitive kitten who feeds her gigantic ego.
Truth is, while both extremes are bad, women will normally go for the asshole over the nice guy because he gives her a sense of excitement, and doesn't constantly compliment her like every other guy walking down the street or playing the wrong game at a bar. It's not that assholes are any better, it's just that they have a slight edge. You don't want to be either of these people, though. You want to be the well-balanced man; confident in what he does, says, and able to move on when it's necessary.
Some will advocate faking confidence until you actually become confident, but I don't suggest this method. Faking confidence leads to inconsistencies, and being inconsistent will eventually get you dumped and labeled a wanker. Another point to take into consideration is that sometimes faking confidence will lead you to rely on the method, which stunts the self-improvement needed to truly become confident in who you are as a man, and most importantly, as a person.
The road to becoming more successful with women is one that'll make you a happier person, and help you succeed in other aspects of life. You'll learn a lot about yourself, what you want, and who you want to be. Don't simply look at it as a way to get laid, because that isn't the main point.
How do you distinguish between being balanced and being an asshole?
I'll give you some examples:
A friend of yours who you think is really attractive asks if you can help her with some homework.
Nice Guy - "Sure! I'll do your homework for you." (He's quick to accept or even offers to do it all for her.)
Asshole - "Fuck off, I'm not helping you with shit." (A rather rude way of saying no, but hey! Gotta keep that reputation.)
Balanced Man - "Hm, I could help you, but first you're going to go out for a drink with me." (He tells her what she's going to do in order to receive his help, and creates a fair exchange while exuding confidence.)You're out on a date, and she compliments you on your look / compliments in general.
Nice Guy - Constantly compliments the woman and feeds her ego, thus giving the compliment less impact because she's consistently hearing it. (This actually gives you less credibility and some women will think you're bullshitting them.)
Asshole - "Yup, I know." (This one is kind of tricky. Some guys can pull it off if they do it with a playful tone of voice.)
Balanced Man - "Thank you." (It's really that simple. You don't have to say anything else, you acknowledge her compliment, and you don't come off as a conceited jerk.)You see a cute girl walking by.
Nice guy - Does nothing.
Asshole - "Damn girl, you lookin' good!" (Come on, she hears this every other block. Do you honestly think it's going to get you anywhere?)
Balanced Man - "Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice you. (Compliment accessory, article of clothing, usage of colors, etc... if you want.) My name's (insert name). Nice to meet you, I'm going to steal a little of your time because if I don't, I'll regret it later tonight and have to tell some of my close girlfriends a sob story while pigging out on ice cream." (Notice how you're not only being a gentleman, but you're also being humorous, and showing some value and honesty by being open about having several friends of the opposite sex who actively speak to you.)With some of these you have to make sure you utilize different tones of voice to specify when you're joking around and when you're being serious. You're not trying to guilt a woman into talking with you, you're being funny, sarcastic and honest. I prefer an honest, more direct approach over making up fake stories to tell or performing shitty magic tricks. I don't want men to fall into the dishonest side of pick-up, I want them to realize their inner value, have some self-worth, and succeed in relationships.
Pick-up can be a dirty game, but you don't have to play it by those rules.
What are your thoughts on sappy men and what kind of an approach would you be more receptive towards?

This made me LOL.
On a related note, though, I'm generally...very upfront with people so if someone else isn't up front with me (&& yes, I can tell) it pisses me off.
This post reminds me of mancouch.
I like it when posts remind me of mancouch.
Actually, those are pretty good pointers. I'd only add that I prefer honesty and simple tact to BS of any kind, even if it's flattering. I detest liars and fakers. Anyway, we're all just people after all. We should be able to honestly relate to each other that way without doing a whole song and dance through showing interest and getting to know each other.
this is the first post you've written in a while that i didn't know was yours from the title alone.
i never hit on girls if they're walking in the opposite direction. that's a great way to look like a salesman or otherwise a total fucking creep.
in general, i'm told that i come across as kind of a dick, but i'm secretly a big softie inside (for the people close to me). so as much as i would LOVE to be really, really nice to a girl, it kind of doesn't really work. thank god the other half of my personality is okay with it.
@QuantumStorm@xanga - Me too, Mancouch was the best.
if a guy constantly compliments me, then it does give the fake nice guy impression that he's a player and memorized lines to tell me and plenty of other females. it doesn't make it that special. in my experiences, the guys that gave me the smoothest lines turned out to be the biggest manipulative assholes. the guys that gave the rude asshole impression often just put on a macho front but when I talked to them and got to know them, some were actually nice
so the guys with a reputation or general impression of the badboy/ahole might or might not be true until you get to personally know the individual. if I spotted the guy that I'm interested in before he noticed me and he decided to talk to me, so I'm expecting it, then his arrogant lines with sarcastic tone will often work to make me laugh. if I'm just not that into him, not even the balanced man will work. so my body language often gives away my level of interest; eyeroll means "omg you're full of shit" cross my arms while looking at him with disgust means "you're creepy/ugly.fuck off, twerp!" dreamy giggle means "oh stop!
why thank you, cutie" so if he sees my eyeroll/standoffish signals, get the hint and don't ask for my number.
"Hm, I could help you, but first you're going to go out for a drink with me."
I would totally go out for a drink with a guy who said that. It wins.
I mostly agree with this post. I just don't find myself attracted to guys who are too nice to me, or compliment me too often. It gets to the point where the compliments become really uncomfortable to hear. I just want to say, "You can stop talking about me now dude, I'm not THAT into myself." Seriously.
I've got a fairly pushy/bossy personality, and I know it, but I'm not looking for the sort of guy that I can just order around 24/7. I don't want a slave, I want a significant other.
I always explain it like this, I don't want the guy who will just go get me ice cream if I tell him I want some. It's attractive if he tells me to stop being lazy and get it myself. But then if I've had a bad day or I'm sick, it's nice if he surprises me with some.
So yeah, balance is good.
"this is the first post you've written in a while that ididn't know was yours from the title alone."
You pay attention to the titles of people, too? I knew I wasn't alone in that department! Heh!
It's a drag when guys suck up to you. Srsly, do they not understand how infuriatingly annoying they are.
A guy needs to hold himself, his inner self and his values together when he attempts to speak to another woman. Men can say things that make us go "awww" but that can be made in such a way where it doesn't seem so cheesy.not a fan of sappy, ESPECIALLY if i don't know the guy. once when i worked at a coffee shop a guy came in and was being kinda cutesy flirty, but he was asking me for drink recommendations and i said "well, it depends what you're looking for. are you looking for something sweeter or not so sweet?" and he was all like "sweet, just like my personality" and i was like oh el-oh-el -__- and then he awkwardly hung around while i was on my break. not a fan. i was more into the customer who told me i looked like i could be tom dwan's sister. yeah.
i usually get hit on by much older women...they behave much like desperate men in that case
insincere flattery
sucking up
creepy hovering and such.
I don't understand. everyone hated mancouch for its sex sex sex sleaziness and constant megan fox posts and super shallow horniness and talk about women as objects and sex sex sex... now that its gone, everyone wants it back? of course the occasional decent post like this too. but this does belong to datingish too.
xanga confuses me. everyones a hypocrite here.
I prefer girls with real balls.
this was a great article, especially the first half.
bring back mancouch if this is the kind of content in it~!
balanced man talks like gay man...
Haha, i personally saw this as your ingenious way of picking up girls. :D
But it's okay, I respect that you respect the women you're picking up.
Dishonesty is never the way to go.
Your "nice guy, asshole, balanced man" is a nice way to portray the most basic 3 types of guys. *keyword: most basic*
Point is, I agree and support your way of introducing yourself playfully while being authentic. Goodjob.
Finally, a post by you that isn't saturated in brain-hurting jargon!
Nice Guy doesn't exist. Either that or he makes up like 1% of the male population. It's a figment of heartless-bitches imagination and a massive extrapolation on their part.
Truth is, I have something in common with all three of these personality types.
The homework example... I'm much much closer to 'balanced man' than I am the other two. Although maybe not quite as charismatic as balanced man is in this example.
The compliment example... I either say thank you, or I'll jokingly say "yup, I know" or the opposite "no way, I'm atrocious" or whatever. So basically, that falls under balanced man and asshole.
The cute girl example... I'm generally the nice guy in that situation. Unless I'm drunk and horny.
The kicker... I was a virgin until the age of 23. Hadn't even been in a relationship or even kissed a girl until that age.
And I think most dudes that struggle getting into relationships like I did are not your classic 'Nice Guy' that everyone blogs about. Like everyone, they have different aspects of their personality.
LOL. I loved this. T'was excellent advice.
Awesome post :) It's so true. A balance is super important. I love nice guys, but not pushovers (big difference in my opinion). And while I'm all about sweet compliments and guys who do/say sweet things to me, people who do it too soon make me suspicious, and I tend to question their intentions and/or wonder how many other girls they say these things to within a few minutes of meeting her. After awhile, though, when I know they're sincere, I like lots of compliments :)
I think you have "nice guy" mixed up with "doormat" guy. But other than disagreeing with your terminology, I agree with your ideas on good and bad approaches, with the examples, I mean. But I was recently talking to my girlfriend and another girl I know about how being a cheesy dork is sometimes the best approach.
Edit: clarification.
