Now that I am married, yes, I am terrified of my wife.  |

Which is why you live hundreds of miles away from her, right?

Yeah, the wife would likely not appreciate it.

I'd definitely say that those of us who are married significantly fear the consequences of asking a woman out!

I think it is easier if you truly knew she was single...instead of asking her out and then she tells you she has a bf or it could be a lie too cause your fat and ugly

I gave always been kinda dorky about approaching and talking to women. Made things really difficult when I was single. Now that I don't have a chance in hell of getting any (I will NOT cheat on my wife), I can talk to just about any woman I run across, and they'll even approach me. I can run my mouth like there's no tomorow.
Sometimes, life's just not fair. |

With some girls I get real tongue tied.
For others, my pimp hand remains strong I wish I could figure out why that is.

Every time I meet a girl I kind of like, or one that seems interested in me, I remember how miserable every girlfriend I have ever had made me, and how I have ALWAYS 100% of the time wished I had never asked them out in the first place. I also think about how virtually every guy I know regrets getting married in the first place. Lastly, I think about how spending money on her will cut into my ammo budget.

it's easy, when they walk up to my car and say "hey babe, wanna party?" I just say sure, then when I give them the $50 bill I say "get the fuck out" and they leave.

I used to be terrible, I'd stutter, get hot and sweaty, basically forget my name, etc., but working in advertising has cured that.
I work with some hotties. Good thing I'm married to one too. |

I am married right now, but if I was single, I would be very hesitant about starting another relationship.
It just seems like a scary jump. |

When you're married it's easier because you just don't care what they think about you. So you can talk, smile, whatever and have a safety net - there's no real risk of failure and a lot less pressure. |

If you're like me, the difference is all about whether you give a damn about what they think of you or not. Girls that I meet casually and hang out with, I am not shy around. A chick that I like and would like to date......turns me into a tongue tied stutterer with a red face and shaking hands.

I have only been toung tied over a woman once and I wasn't even trying to ask her out. She came in to interview for a CAD position I was trying to fill at the time. When I walked into to the reception area, I was stunned by the woman standing there. It was difficult for me to make it through the interview in compete sentences.
 This memory will stick with me forever BC I was shocked at how she tripped me up.She did really well in the verbal portion of the interview but (thank god) she didn't do well on the CAD test. My dept. wouldn't have achieved anything with her working here (mostly males). She was absolutely beautiful.  Edited BC I can't spell while thinking about her. |

I was. It's a miracle I actually managed to meet my wife. Very shy and quiet, and zero self-esteem when it came to women. I felt I was bothering them just by talking to them, and that's not much of an exaggeration. I think I managed to work up the courage to ask someone out about three times in my entire life.

another thing that helped was something a friend told me: "just don't give a shit what other people think of you". for some reason, it really stuck. if you ask someone and they say no, who cares? what's the big deal? just move on. |

That's the only way I can get through presenting anything for business. "You're all idiots, and only I know what the !@#$ I am doing, so lissen up!" (the trick is not letting that come through in my speech!)

I only "date" women if I know them as friends first - so no, I'm not terrified. The whole "dating" concept is usually bound for failure anyway. Especially those with the stupid MTV "winner" mindset of picking up their future wife drunk at a bar.
I easily talk to a woman if she actually interests me - not because of some lame "hot or not" criteria established by morons. |

I have no problem talking with women. I make them laugh, I make them admire my intelligence and confidence. But I can't approach women, because I'm extremely ugly. The only way for me to meet them is for it to happen naturally.

Up until college I used to be very nervous around girls I was attracted to. Then overnight during my Junior year something clicked and I learned to just not care. If they were interested great, if not, who cares? Consequently that's when I started getting a decent amount of play as well. Coincidence, I think not.
Nowadays if I'm interested I usually let them know up front. If they aren't interested in a date, usually it's see you later, unless they have something else to offer, ie- cute/cool lady friends. If they aren't interested and have no lady friends, they are about as useful as a pipe-swinging dude.

I never have a problem talking with them after they're in the pit and I tell'em to put the lotion on its skin. Its the "Getting them in the pit" part I'm having a problem with.

I just go straight to asking them for sex. Then if they're good at it, I take them out for dinner to keep their energy level up.
This avoids any misunderstanding about our relationship. |

It is way easier now to talk with hot women since being married. My wife is hot, my best-friend, and I have the attitude 'IDon't care how hot you are, you have no chance.' when talking to women. Amazing how it feels with the shoe on the other foot. It actually is a turn on for women, I get hit on all the time now when I am somewhere without the wife

So far the secret seems to be:
1. Be confident / don't care 2. Be married 3. Don't be ugly. |

Yes.
I like living in my house, with its ice maker and hot showers and airconditioning. When I was single, I was fearless - I figured out that I wasn't going to die if wimminz said "No!". |

I am terrified to just start talking to a girl. There is this drive up coffee place in my town with a beautiful girl working there. I go there probably everyday thinking "This is the day I will talk to her," but never have the balls to start a conversation. I am spending alot of money on crappy coffee.
All of my past relationships have been with friends or sisters of friends, so I don't have any experience picking up women. |
