Never Leave a Good Thing

How many times have you had a good thing going, and then decided to switch gears,
invite a few friends, or do anything that interrupts the wonderful momentum you
created? The lesson: never leave a good thing.
I met a nice girl at a restaurant who had to leave to meet other girlfriends at a sushi bar
about a mile away. I qualified, listened to her long story about why she hates her
roommate, and asked about her reservation at the sushi bar. We got to know each other
and I told her it was a pleasure meeting you, have a great time with your friendsbut I
made a mental note.
She had a nine oclock table at the sushi bar. Perfect. I returned to my buddies who were
arguing over whether or not Ginger and Mary Ann over did each other. I casually
mentioned that I had an early morning and felt the flu coming on. They were happy to
get rid of me because no one wanted to catch my cold. I paid my check and was at her
sushi bar around 9:45. There they were.
I surprised her and her friends. There was room for me at the large booth so I sat down,
flagged a waiter, ordered a round for the table and continued to qualify. I had them
talked into cocktails and music at my house. They seemed sincere and ready to rock.
Then my ego got in the way.
I wanted to get home before them so I could set the stage, adjust the lighting, and take a
shower. I gave her directions to my place, which was only 2 miles away. She gave me her
cell phone number. I ran around my house like a nervous Hollywood producer and
waited for the doorbell to ring. No dice. I waited as long as I could, and then I called:
Voice mail. I hung up, waited ten minutes: Voice mail. I waited another ten and called
from my home line to hide my caller ID. Her phone rang ten times and then went to
voice mail. I had been given the dodge by a few girls who had time to think about it and,
for whatever reason, changed their minds.
When you have a good thing going--a bird in the hand--never jeopardize it by leaving the
scene, splitting up, or letter her ride with one of your buddies to the next place. Closing
the deal is all about momentum and advancing the game. When you take steps
backwards or to the side, logic replaces emotion and youre screwed. I should have
waited with them for a few more minutes, and told one of them to go with me and the
others can follow.

Maintain Control
Nothing is worse than leaving a message for a babe and living with the hope that shell
return the call. The only way to maintain control is to leave a message that tells her
youre interested, but youll have to catch up with her later. Sometimes I dont mind
leaving a message and asking her to call me back because if she doesnt, thats one way to
qualify if shes at all interested. But if I just gotta go out with her, I maintain control.
Heres what to do:
Call her and leave a messagebut do it from a private line
Call her and leave a message that tells her that youre sorry you missed her;
youre going to be out with coworkers, and youll have to try her tomorrow
Send her a text or email that wishes her a great weekend with no sign of when
youll try again
If you say, Hi Christine, calling to see if youd like to get together this week . . . give me a
call, and three days lapse, youre on defense.

If you call again, youre panicking

If you call a second time youre desperate
If you call again youre drunk
If you call a fourth time, youre stalking
If you call a fifth, expect a restraining order in your mailbox

Stay in control as long as you can. Remember that the one who is interested the least,
rules the relationship. Control is the key to power and the Holy Grail in any relationship.

Captain Obvious
If you are driving and notice a guy on a camel juggling swords, you can point it out, but
dont run a narrative on the obvious.
A Player makes life seem like an adventure. Adventures are fun, spontaneous and
carefree. If you stress about the traffic signal that turned yellow, freak when a bug hits
your windshield, or lunge at the revolving door to jump in your designated section, shes
going to leave you. Dont marvel about the commonplace, the expected or the obvious.
I had a buddy who commented on the obvious every time we drove somewhere. Id be in
the middle of a conversation and hed say Luckys Cleaners as we passed them by.
Worse, every time I signaled to the right hand lane, hed hang his arm out the window as
if to block the truck rolling along at 80 miles an hour.
When A Player drives, he doesnt say 3 Billion served? every time he passes a
McDonalds; or Hi Dad when he passes a bum taking a leak in a crosswalk. The ride is
to observe and converse. Use this time to soak in your surroundings, people watch, or
discuss the days events. Its not a time to honk your horn every time you pass somebody
in the same kind of car you own. If you see something noteworthy, talk about it, but
avoid making the mundane seem marvelous.

Subliminal Selling
This is a wonderful skill but one that needs to be carefully developed. The subliminal
seduction involves planting ideas in a persons mind that make them think about sex
without overtly blurting silly puns.
An amateur will jump on an opportunity anytime he hears a woman say keep me
abreast of the events. Hell ask, Did you say breast? Id be happy to keep one of your
breasts, heh, heh . . . An amateur says this with the excitement of a schoolboy who sees a
cartoon vagina in sex education class. A Player plants seeds in her head until shes so
preoccupied by sex that she excuses herself to the ladies room.
If you place the following words and phrases into the right conversational context, she
will subconsciously blush at the reference and try to remain cool.

Thats gonna be a great party on Friday; can you come?

I know Dick Butterfield; I met Dick about a year ago.
I waxed my car yesterday.
I got screwed in the stock market.
The climax at the end of the movie comes as a real surprise.
My friend had $5,000 in Vegas and blew his wad in the first twenty minutes.
The guy who sold pain killers was stripped of his medical license.
I was playing my guitar and snapped my G string.
My shortcut takes balls but you can shave fifteen minutes of the drive.
Im flirting with a new business idea; my accountant told me to sleep on it.
Did you vote for Bush?
My boss plays hard but hes really a pussycat.
Most big ideas originate in the shower.
Ever read Burroughss Naked Lunch?
Hard to believe the Eiffel Tower was erected so long ago
The hunt for the bald eagle has spread across the pacific northwest
The snapper appetizer makes my mouth water.
That song was written in 69.
When I saw the antique suitcase for sale, I snatched it.
I was thrust into a meeting and pumped for information

These cues plant subliminal seeds that are difficult to ignore. She wont jump your bones
because you said it, but they are sweeteners that grease the wheel and make her crave
the company of a man. They are, in fact, verbal Spanish Flies. However, if you use these,
never, ever let her know that youre in on the pun! These are only titillating if you say
them with the obliviousness of a child and the seriousness of a news anchorman.
She Runs with It
If you make a comment and she piggy-backs on the pun, youre golden. If you say, A
friend of mine had two glasses of wine last night and was half-cocked and she says,
Half-cocked? What happened to the other half of his cock? CONGRATULATIONS!
Youve identified a naughty girl whose mind jumps to sex if you use the word margarine.
The body is the servant of the mind and her mind is d-i-r-t-y. Shes ready for more so
dont goof it up by doing the happy dance.

The Hangover
If you make plans with someone, beware of the woman who reluctantly accepts the
invitation because shes hung over. When she qualifies your evening with details of her
previous nights tequila-slammer contest with the football team, youre asking for
trouble.
She ran ten miles with her friends, and now she want to walk it off with you. She wont
have wine with her meal; shes going to release deep sighs every ten minutes; shes going
to drink glass after glass of water until she falls asleep on your couch watching a cooking
show. If you feel like Florence Nightingale, feel free to accept the injured and unwashed
into your home. If you feel like Johnny Cosmo, iron your shirt, fix your hair and call
someone who is at least semi-conscious.

The Two Times I Call

Its important to make a good impression when youre with your girlfriends, and maybe
more so when youre not with them. When youre together, they know what youre doing:
If they suspect youre A Player, they have fewer worries about you when theyre with you,
than when shes at church and youre at the Friday happy hourso call them on one of
two occasions.
Call When Youre Out
Call your girlfriend when youre out because shell know that youre thinking about her.
If she hates any of your friends, dont tell her youre with them. Mention the one friend
she does like and leave it at that. If she thinks youre watching a local band with your
friend that likes to fight, and another thats been to strip clubs more times than the gym,
youll catch heat.
If youre at a bookstore, definitely call. Call her from any place that looks like an adult
event. Call from

Antique shops
Fundraisers
Movie theaters
The Philharmonic Concert
Or your homeowners meeting

Call her from a museum even if you only bought a ticket to run inside and use the mens
room--they like to know that youre there and not at the bar famous for its tequila
selection.
Calling When Youre Home
Call your girlfriend when youre home because shell know that youre thinking about
her. If you want to be really effective, call here when shes whooping it up at a
bachelorette party in Vegas. The dichotomy between her behavior and yours will make
you look even better. When shes tossing her bra across the ceiling fan at a pub and she
thinks youre reading The Grapes of Wrath beside the fireplace, shell think youre the
greatest. Anytime you need to get some rest, catch up on laundry, or edit your
manuscript about Foreign Policy, call her. This balances how she perceives you. If
youre always out, shell know shes with a party guy. If half the time she talks to you,
youre at home wearing your bunny rabbit slippers, you earn points.

The Long Distance Player

When youre on the road, the change in scenery affects your attitude and gives you
confidence. More people get laid during a four-day spring break than the entire month
before it. You can create that same spring break mentality in others if you know how to
manage a long distance relationship.
Ive never seen a long distance relationship work. If you need to book a flight to see your
woman, it aint gonna last. Ive been there myself, and watched others give it a college
try, but it always fails. The relationship fails because
the man and the woman are on their best behavior
they focus on making it very romantic
they both feel like theyre on vacation
It works temporarily because its new. New brooms sweep clean. But long distance
relationships are for married people.
Best Behavior
When you visit for the weekend, you avoid arguments because youre not with each other
long enough for her to get on your nerves. Time is limited, so why pick a fight? You
want to go to dinner, sleep in, and play a little slap and tickle. You never get to know the
real person because you both say please and thank you; you refer to her by her pet name;
you hold every door open and she has had everything on her body waxed and buffed.
Unless she gets drunk and punches a cop, you never see her true colors.
Making it Romantic
There are more romantic gestures exchanged during a weekend away than in a twomonth local relationship. You bring her flowers, she buys champagne. You buy her a
sexy blouse, she cooks a breakfast complete with lox, mimosas, and rose petals sprinkled
on the bed. You call the john the restroom, and nobody takes a crap for three days. If
you both lived in town, you would say things like, get it yourself, its in the fridge. If
you think every bath you take with her for the rest of your life will include floating
candles, you watch too much TV.
On Vacation
Its fun to go on vacation. Its fun to live out of a suitcase and chase all new adventures.
When she comes to town to visit you, it has the same effect; youll go to dinner, play tour
guide, and you stay out later than usual. As a result, you spend more, laugh more and
live more. We attribute this to the person were with, but the reality is, we feel that way if
were alone on a business trip in Cleveland.
Maintenance
In order to sustain a long distance sweetie-pie, call periodically. Call to say hello, and
call when you know she cant answer. You can leave a thoughtful message and get credit
for the gesture without having to listen to her tell you about Aunt Margarets bursitis. I
call on dumb occasions to give the illusion that Im always thinking about her.

Happy National Handwriting Day, gorgeous.

Its raining cats and dogs . . . wish you were here.
Hi sweetheart, its Presidents Day and Im wondering how you are.
Hi Lisa, just calling to say that I hope you adjusted to daylight savings time okay.
Hey babe, its Flag Day and Im a little depressed without you. Give me a call.
Hi hot stuff, I met you four months and three days ago . . . happy anniversary!

You can be as sweet or as mushy as you like because shes too far away to be a clingy
danger.
The difficult part about managing a long distance relationship is when they decide to
visit you in your home town. A visitor puts the kibosh on your dating for four days.
Youd better send emails to your other girlfriends that announce youre either out of
town, or quarantined with a rare strain of shingles. Nothing is more nerve-wracking
than a woman at your house while you get ten text messages an hour plus phone calls
and a doorbell ring that you cant explain. Get the hell out of town! Take her to another
suburb and tell her the locals are famous for making the best cheese bread in the state.
Lay real low so you dont get a drive-by visitor, or she doesnt find the French Tickler
hidden in the silverware drawer.

Nicknames
This chapter isnt about finding the right nickname for your girlfriends; its about
avoiding nicknames for women you just met. A nickname pigeon holes people to a
certain story or characteristic, and might touch a nerve if you pick the wrong one.
Here are a few nicknames Ive used that worked fine:
Blue eyes: she had beautiful blue eyes and she was proud of them
Dimples: she had sexy dimples
Curly locks: she had curly blond hair and knew it was striking
Here are a few nicknames that can get you into trouble:
Barbie-Doll: she was about 5 feet and adorablea sweet face and a push-up bra.
She was self-conscious about her height so she hated the nickname.
Miss Monroe: she had a beauty mark above her lip I thought was sexy. She
thought it looked like a booger and wanted it removed.
Windy: her name was Wendy and one night she was changing out of her bikini
and she ripped a fart at a barbequeit sounded like she tore 3 feet of carpet in
half. I called her Windy for about a week until she boycotted all forms of sex.
And finally
Barfy: Ill skip this story
Do a little qualifying, before you yell, Hey Sheila Tequila, pass the salt across the
holiday dinner table. Whether their nickname refers to a physical trait or a past event,
they may not want it memorialized.

Mickey the Dunce

Nothing makes people more nervous, envious and jealous than having a player in their
presence. The guy who has all the marbles is a target. People may pretend to rejoice in
your success, but there is something in peoples genetic code that makes them equally
delighted in your failure. Its okay to watch a friend approach a woman and then head to
her hotel room, but fun to watch a friend walk over to a hot chick, step on his shoelace
and hit his head on a table. Never let on to your winning streak, in fact, openly advertise
your failures around your buddies.
Apply your tactics quietly, even awkwardly, if it makes you look more authentic. If youre
at home with a woman and snap your fingers and the curtains lower, the fireplace
ignites, and a plasma screen TV raises from the floor, shell think you may have done this
beforebetter to pretend youre not sure if you have ice or a stereo that works. Dumb it
down whenever possible.
Men hate male Players. Youre the guy that takes their women. Youre the guy that
enjoys more victories than defeats. Youre the guy that spends the same money in the
bar they do, and yet at the end of the evening they pile in the backseat with their drunken
friends while you get whisked away in her car. The quickest way to turn drinking
buddies into arch rivals is to share your victories every time you have one.
I listened to two guys talking about their weekend. Sounded like this.
Guy 1: Did you get laid?
Guy 2: Oh, hell yeah. Remember the girl from Starbucks? She called, we had sushi
and the next thing you know where playing slap and tickle at my house.
Guy 1: You dick. What about the yoga instructor? You ever hear from her?
Guy2: I went out with her last Wednesday.
Guy 1: And?
Guy2: Score.
Guy 1: Up yours.
Guy 2: (Laughing) You think thats funny, remember the insurance chick from Boston?
Shes coming here for one of those sales retreats, and she wants me to show her the best
strip clubs in town . . . she told me shes been horny since the eight grade!
Guy 1: I hate you!
Admiration and resentment are close cousins. The I hate you statement was a true
statement in that he hates to see you on a streak while hes watching the game.
Resist the temptation to share all of your victories with your buddies. Unless you can
provide the nude photos, they dont want to hear it. They ask, but they dont like to feel
compared to a guy like you on a winning streak. Your friends will soon find ways to cock
block you in front of other women because theyll be damned if they have to witness you
scoop another victory. Act like Mickey the Dunce and you will survive the social circle
longer.

12

Chivalry
A little chivalry goes a long way. Chivalry isnt dead, but it does have the bird flu. If you
pay attention to the little things, they will believe you are capable of the big things.
Most guys take care of the big picture. Players have the big picture and further accent it
with little details that make a big difference. Ordering the meal and holding a door for
her is basic stuff. Your grandfather did that. A single guy like you needs to distinguish
yourself from your grandfather and the other would-be Players.
Here are the key words: thoughtful and considerate; keep these two words a close third
and forth behind tits and ass and youll do fine. Choose your opportunities carefully; be
mindful of the choices you make in terms of gesture and frequency. If you overdo the
size of the gesture or the frequency of gestures, it will create an uneasy, acid-reflux
sensation in your date.
Its thoughtful to hand her a book of matches from the restaurant you visited
Its thoughtful to offer her a cold bottle of water for the ride home
Its thoughtful to return from Starbucks with a CD you know shed love
I realize this isnt handing her they keys to new BMW, but how many times can you pull
that stunt? This isnt effective because of dollars spent; its effective because of your
attention to thinking on her behalf. Many women save keepsakes from men theyve loved
and it isnt only the keys to a car. They save short poems, a wine cork from the night she
and her ex drank and role-played the naughty student, and an espresso spoon from the
quaint bed and breakfast. Keepsakes not, sweepstakes are effective.
Cover the basics and then add these sweeteners:

When you bring wine to her house, bring a dog bone for the dog
Have her brand of green tea at the house
Walk her to the elevator when she leaves in the morning
Hail her the taxi and give the driver the money to get her home
If she has a child, bring something simple and appropriate

Dont make a big deal about these little gifts; dont wait for approval and dont sing, Tada! when you hand it over. Downplay your efforts, give a little wink, but dont lean
forward to accept a kiss.

13

Shes Got Kids

Relationships that develop with a woman with kids will soon entail hanging out with her
and her kids. If you dont mind, I dont mind, but this is what happened to me.
I met a hottie who was thirty-three and had two kids. It began with us going out for
happy hour and dinner, and then she started coming over to my house. This worked well
for a few months, until she asked me to a Christmas party at her house. She promised
me plenty of eggnogwhich is like trying to get drunk on rum and cream of wheat.
After five minutes at the party I wanted guzzle the eggnog, and throw myself on the
chestnuts roasting on the open fire. Too many toys, Bing Crosbys ballads, and one of
the kids kept calling me buster. When her friends joined, it was worse. I have very
little to say to married women and their husbands. What could Herbert Pinfold possibly
have in common with Johnny Cosmo? Eugene ONeil nailed it when he wrote to A long
days journey into night.
Then it really got bad. She has a single neighbor who was so smoking hot, the fireplace
took two steps backwards. She bared swinging cleavage and great skin. She smelled like
vanilla and cotton candy and I was in deep trouble. Heres a single girl who showed up
frisky enough to go home with an elf, and Im on a date with a woman whos in her kids
bedroom singing Mr. Sandman.
If you date a woman with kids, assuming you dont have any yourself, plan on a change
in scenery. At her place youll see more toys, DVDs scattered on the floor, bicycles on
the lawn, and stick figures on the refrigerator door. Itll look like Captain Kangaroos
pad. Most women I meet keep concert tickets, Victoria Secret bags and lipstick on their
kitchen counter. On the other hand, you might like a woman with kids--when else can
you ride shotgun in a minivan that smells like handy wipes?

14

The Pull System

The toughest part about being A Player is keeping someone happy. Its not easy to
accommodate the needs of different women. Its not easy to remember individual
preferences. Who likes sushi? Which one is allergic to peanuts? Which one likes Jack
and cokeor was it Captain and coke? Sometimes the safest thing to do is ask what they
want to do, or where they want to go.
Planning an evening is fun because youre in control, you know things will work out in
your favor, and you eliminate the risk of a bad time. Remember something: we think its
great because its our idea; we have no idea how they truly feel. Yes, its our job to make
the plans, but occasionally I like to leave the ball in their court.
The push system means we create the night and tell them whats going to happen; the
pull system is where we ask them about their hearts desire, and then we fulfill their
every wish. After we pick a night to go out, I leave them with a homework assignment:
Friday sounds great, now I need your help with something: you pick the restaurant and
Ill take care of it from there, okay? And then I practically hang up the phone.
Im always surprised with their suggestion.

Id be okay just hanging out at your house and ordering some food in.
Lets go to that place you like with the great lasagna.
I hear theres a new Indian restaurant thats got amazing food.
Wanna go to this trendy Ethiopian place?
Lets go to Burger King and order from the drive-through naked!

The benefit of leaving the ball in their court follows: you look chivalrous accommodating
their schedule; you broaden your horizons; you get to make a special request later and
theyre more likely to accommodate your needs.

15

The Doggy Bag

I understand how much you enjoyed the dinner. I realize you paid $42 for your lamb
chop. I know the restaurant you chose is family style, and theres enough left over food
to feed a family for three days. Leave it at the restaurant.
How the hell can you be A Player if you leave a restaurant with a tinfoil doggy bag in the
shape of a swan? If you see people holding doggy bags or doggy boxes, Ive got a dollar
that says theyre marriedanother dollar that says they are racing home to catch the ten
oclock news.
If youre entertaining a woman and plan to visit another establishment after dinner,
never keep food in your car for the evening, it only smells good in the restaurant. If she
asks to take her food back to your place, its a different story. This means two things:
shes broke and plans to go straight to your house. Hopefully she doesnt plan to keep
the food in your car as your cruise the city. I let a girl do this a few years ago; we went to
another place for a nightcap, and when we got back to the car I was overwhelmed by the
smell of garlic broccoli. I had my car detailed.
What is the root word in Doggy Bag? Dog. If you want to save the bone from your rib
eye steak and swear its for your Alaskan Husky, its cool. If you load a Doggy Bag with
whats left of your burrito and continue to dump bread, pats of butter, and steal a bottle
of Tabasco, you will give herand the restaurant--the impression that you live in a box
or a tent.

16

The Open Tab

Its tough to finance the lifestyle of A Player. Between the lunches, dinners, drinks and
morning-after-brunches, my credit card is processed more than bologna meat. Be
careful giving the bartender your credit card and opening a tab. When women see an
open tab, their tail starts to wag. An open tab is like leaving your front door open all
night during a street riot: you may get some unwanted traffic.
I was at The Waldorf Astoria in New York City having cocktails with my date and
suddenly two of her friends arrive and we all began to chat. They order drinks and the
pleasant bartender delivered them with grace and flair. When they finished, they each
kissed me on the cheek and ran off to meet their friends at another bar downtown. This
wasnt unusual. But when another one of her friends arrived and introduced herself, I
wondered if this was more than a coincidence.
She ordered a split of Champagne and told us about her new shoes. She was sweet and
downed her drink like she was chasing down a mouthful of vitamins. She got a text
message, then quickly gave me a kiss on the cheek and disappeared.
A half an hour later my date and I ordered appetizers. Yet another one of her friends
approached us with the fervor of long-lost friends. She ordered a drink and then said,
Oh my God, you guys, Im starving! We ordered her an appetizer, she paid me a few
compliments, and the fun continued. After the plates were cleared, my Italian date was
ready for a new adventure, and her friend said shes late for her date. They went to the
ladies room and I settled with the bartender.
I later realized that she called her friends earlier, told them where wed be, and they all
showed for drinks on me. I got hit with a $200 tab andnow that it was seven-thirty
realized my evening hadnt even started. Cash machine, anyone?
Women dont pay, they contribute to the evening with expensive perfume and little, pink
g-strings that peek just above their belt loops. This presents us with a dilemma: you
cant ask for money during or after, so you absorb your dates check and anybody shes
known since the third grade. If you print money in your basement, you dont have to
worry, but if you hate being suckered into a cocktail free-for-all, pay with cash each time.
When the bartender makes a cocktail for your dates extended family, you have the
option of paying or letting them reach for their wallet.
Im a generous guy; but if my date were paying, I would never consider having my
buddies arrive to drain her checking account. Keep expenditures in check or the next
time you order dinner, the person on the intercom will ask you to pull forward.

A Bird in the Hand

Ever walk into so many opportunities in one night you look like youre trying to herd
chickens? It happens. Every now and then, the stars, planets and the moon conspire in
your favor, and every broad in the joints batting her eyes at you. You chat with one girl
and suddenly an even hotter girl flirts with you. Men believe the grass is always greener
in the other girls panties, so we screw it up by investing ten minutes in all the girls and
then, eight beers latertry to make the correct decision.
3 reasons why this is a bad idea:
The girls see you running around as if youre on a scavenger hunt; they find this
pathetic and theyll reject you for not speaking with them first, and only.
When you abandon what looks like a good thing, the women are targets for other
guys; if guys meet them and stick around, you lose.
If you failed to completely qualify the girl(s), you may discover the one you finally
select is the wrong choice; now its a desperate scramble to find a replacement.
I follow my instincts when Im out but I stick with a good thing when Ive got it. A bird in
the hand means you have a chance to apply the rules of the game and build some
rapport. Subtlety rules when circling the bar.

18

Ask for a Card

When the time is right and you think you should ask for her number, ask for a card
instead. Hey, can I get your number makes cheese whiz look like real food. You not
only sound bad to her, you make others around you grimace at your transparent motives.
If you ask for a card, she may think youre interested in her line of work--sounds like you
want company and email information. Asking for a card is professional, not
promiscuous. However, once you get her card, youre free to call or email. If you call or
email, do it during the day because it shows you think about her in the glowing light of
sunshine and not in the wine-induced din of a piano bar.
When you get her card, look at it, read it, nod approvingly at its content, and then put it
in your pocket. Dont snatch the card and stuff it in your sport coat like a pick-pocket.
This new woman has shown you where she works, what she does, her company website,
email, fax, cell phone, and the quirky spelling of her last name. Dont compromise that
trust by shoving it in your pocket and ordering yourself another Jack Daniels. She may
not remember things you said, but she will remember how you made her feel.
If she doesnt have a card, ask for the best way to get a hold of her. Let her provide what
ever contact information shes comfortable with. Wait a day or two and give her a buzz.
Now youre ready to use your new skills to delight your women. As always, read this
ebook, and then hide this ebook. See you out on the town and well talk again in an
issue of The Rake Letter.
