I reckon theres one characteristic which time and again will get you the females, the dollars and the popularity.... CHARISMA
A friend of mine has it and I havent met too many people in the world that do. He's a good lookin bloke but what I reckon pulls in the chicks is the fact that he is confident in himself, he can hold a conversation and make it interesting and engaging for everyone.
the only other trick that ive seen work is persistance. My cousin is not the best looking bloke in the world but has lots of confidence without being arrogant. We will walk into a club, spot a good looking woman but none of us when we were single would do shit bout it. He on the other hand would walk up all the time and have a chat, I would say 40% of the time he would end up picking them up or a friend, 30% of the time he will end up havin a good chat and maybe become friends with em and the other 30% would be stuck up bitches who would tell him to **** off! but it neva fases him... he always goes back for more knowing that sooner or later the fish will bite.
