Flattery will get you everywhere

Pseudoscience of love - Flattery will get you everywhereA lot of men try to lure women into the sack by the liberal use of compliments. However, one thing I've noticed with women over the years is that, for the most part, they are not great at accepting them. Granted, it doesn't help that I'm usually laughing while delivering them! My perceived insincerity aside, you would imagine that they would still like to get a compliment. Sometimes, though, I think that they would prefer an insult!

Having said that, I still think there is some truth in the well known saying, "flattery will get you everywhere". Just try and keep a "George W. Bush"* off your face while issuing them! As shown on the graph above, you more you ply on with that trowel, the better your chances are. This is especially true if you work in a holiday resort abroad. It's amazing the cheesy lines a foreigner can come out with that a holidaying woman will lap up. If we said the same things to them back here, we'd be laughed out of the place!

*A smirk! Why is he always smirking, anyway?!
