As men, sometimes we spend so much time thinking up inventive ways, or simply mustering the courage, to approach women, that we can forget that they will sometimes be the aggressors. It's hard to sit tight and expect women to just come up and talk to you. And even when the female is the aggressor, she can have the same hesitations when approaching you. To make her, and your life easier, all you need is a subtle gimmick that serves as a talking point when she is planning to make her move.
What sort of subtle gimmick you say? Well, there are several at your disposal but I've put down the three most successful to use at your leisure.
1. The headband - I know, it sounds effing stupid. What in the hell does a headband have to do with getting women to talk to you? Well I can tell you right now, you're probably not going to look as cool as this guy:
But you'll probably look marginally cooler than this guy:

.
And that's all the start you'll need. The usual rules of douchebaggery apply, so be sure not to be sitting or standing there thinking you're too cool for school; just go about your business as if you aren't wearing a headband at all. The douchebag scheme actually works too but it depends on what you're looking for in a girl and that often involves you doing more of the work yourself.
2. Wear two different colored shoes - Man, I am giving away a major trade secret here. I'd be a little more reserved about doing so, except it's obvious. I actually started doing this with running shoes because I frequently end up looking down at the ground while running and it was a way to keep things kind of interesting. That, and I'm kind of a douchebag. Again, you're treading a fine line, but if you don't carry yourself as a total prick in general, you're cooking with gas here. You would not believe the sheer number of conversations I've had with people solely based on me wearing two different colored shoes.
3. Wear your underwear on the outside - This is a copycat effort straight from the big man himself:
Superman. I don't necessarily recommend the light blue unitard, especially at black tie functions, but if you are looking to get noticed, just put those underwears on the outside. Ever wonder what the big fucking deal is about Superman? It's not that people manage not to recognize him with only a crap pair of glasses on his face; it's not the giant "S" emblazoned on his chest; it's not the superhuman strength, the x-ray vision (that radiation is bad for you), the gift of flight, or even the need for a
kryptonite condom...it's those crazy red undies staring out at us.
What are some of your most successful methods of attracting the attention of the opposite sex?

I usually just try to be real and talk to them.
LOL personally I never thought about the superman part :p
@overly_toasted_bread@xanga - That's the best way.
Superman ....
my bf wears girl socks. but. i didnt really know that as much before i started dating him. but. it IS funny and i guess a convo starter
but. underwear over the pants = probably too bold for me
If anything,
don't make your game noticeable
betta yet,
BE YOURSELF!
start masturbating in public. That usually catches their eye.
umm drop some food on them...drop something soft on them...all else fails... drops something heavy on them...
I wouldn't talk to a guy who wore a headband, wore different color shoes and wore his underwear on his clothes.
Just be yourself.
These are great! I'm a little OCD and the headband or the shoes thing would totally work on me. It says that you aren't afraid of what people might think, and that you've got a sense of humor, which are both important for me.
You could also try wearing two different color socks, like blatantly different colors so that people don't think it's an accident.
These made me laugh, thanks!
the funny thing about this is that the first two will actually work for you if you're in college. douchebaggery is probably the number one way to attract most college chics. and even funnier is that a lot of college chics that will read and respond to this will deny that it works, but when they go to the club on thursday night they'll prove that it does. great post, again.
I have bright red hair. Once, I was at a restaurant with a friend, sitting by the window. The sun was setting just outside, and my hair was picking it all up and lighting the room. This is typical.
What is not typical is that a guy came and picked up my water and threw it on my head. Then, he apologized and claimed that he thought my head was on fire. It was very funny (later), but it didn't really work in him getting a date with me.
So, don't try that, guys. She'll just get mad.
<li class="itemsubmitter">@faustuosa@xanga I agree. Just being yourself is the best way.
#1 might work
#2 is bad for your posture.
#3 I don't see working at all. If you've had success with this, then props to you.
Be yourself. The right one will come along.
The headband thing might work if you're on That 70s Show, different colored shoes are only going to get a bunch of laughs and insults... and the underwear thing has more potential to land you in prison than with a hot date. Honestly, have you visited a shrink lately? Start making an appointment....
You fail- now go home and contemplate how to actually become an interesting person for women to meet rather than faking it.
how can a woman possibly resist the underwear on the outside gimmick?
it baffles me ._.
only luke wilson, jim carrey, david arquette or the sexy david beckham(with no shirt on in his soccer uniform) can wear headbands and get hot chicks to talk to them
some guys just can't wear headbands without getting jumped by rebellious school kids with nothing to do after school
maybe only that skinny jeans guy from the skinny jeans lovelyish article wearing the different colored converse chucks look sexy, but regular guys, wearing rolled up khakis just shouldn't sport the different colored sandals with socks
he'll get laughed at and shunned.
I can see why the spandex underwear outside clothes worked for superman, because you can practically see his entire bulge
it only works if you resemble christopher's youthfully handsome physical features and the same brunette trademark swirl hairstyle, too. otherwise, non-model types just don't look appealing. instead of all these gimmicks, normal guys can probably attract women with their flashy car or rolex watch
my name is alice, not nameless

@Lynnjynh9315@xanga - you just made my day.
Was this supposed to be serious?
The shoes are subtle enough, and the headband could be pulled off by someone who was super cool, but if I saw some dude sporting his undies on the outside I would consider him someone who craves attention=FAIL!
everyone's been saying, "oh, just be yourself.. talk to them and have a nice conversation." that obviously doesn't work, otherwise this person wouldn't have made this entry. or maybe he just got bored of just "being yourself" either way, these methods really aren't that character changing. it's just putting on a different article of clothing. if i go out an put a headband on, that doesn't mean that my favorite color is actually gold now. i still like the same colors, only difference? i have a headband now. and plus, girls are drawn to shiny things. same theory goes for things that stand out.
Headband and underwear on the outside are stupid. Two different colour shoes ? It's just a quirk.
Be yourself. But don't be a jerk. Unless you really are a real jerk.And then you'll someday find the right woman who likes a jerk.
Enjoy! :P
What you do is wear some really exotic smelling aftershave and when a woman tells you,"That smells good,What do you have on?"
Answer with ,"I have a hard on,but I didn't know you could smell it."
Four out of five might call you a pig,but the fifth one could make your night.
