"Conquering" a woman? Seems like a 21st century atitude adjustment may be the rX for you.

"conquer a woman?"

Beyond my disbelief at that comment, I would say if you ask a question then listen more than lip service to the answer. I think men and women want the same things. To be respected, listened to, receive courtesy and be honest in your feelings and be there in the moment.

Personally I would much rather hear a compliment about my intelligence or humor than beauty. Physical beauty means squat. Inner beauty is everything.

I hate fake people. If you can't be real, then please stay away from me. And if your real is a obnoxious narcisstic ass, then stay away from me.

Trust me, the majority of women (and men) can tell if you're trying to "conquer" them.

Don't lie to her. Ever. That's the classiest thing you can do.
If you like the way she thinks, tell her.

OMG. That is so wrong on so many levels. The very best thing you can do for women islock yourself inside and stay away from any and all interactions with anyone, especially women.

ffs! you've got no chance of being classy or a gentleman as long as you still view women as something to be conquered.
I think the sweetest thing you could say to any woman is 'I'm sorry Ive been such a knob!'

After reading these comments I think I have it down. Compliment their brain, compliment their brain, ok.... "Wow, you have an enormous head. You must have a big brain in there.".

lol...

Given you say you are a political scientist and a philosopher I would have thought not coming off like a failed Machiavelli would have been a no brainer. While witty banter is always appreciated, given the example above, thinking before you speak or type would be a good start

Assuming that we already know each other or are dating, my suggestion is "That's a good idea / I hadn't thought of that / Looked at it that way, etc."

That said, in terms of pick-up lines for the sole sake of conquering or anything of the sort, nothing. It will all seem fake.

I'm with KK Gator--don't lie. Talk about her character. Does she have a kind heart? Is she compassionate? Does she do goot things for others? If so...when you SEE these things happening, tell her! "You know, that's something I REALLY LIKE about you! You're always kind to others." Etc. Of course...there's always this one...."You should see how the light shines on your hair tonight." Then SMILE!

Say something sincere that is real, not based on sex appeal or appearance..notice things about her, compliment her outfit, or something she did herself, etc. For example; I loved that piece you wrote for the country news section. It had some great ideas."

Or compliment her appearance without sexualizing it, such as, "That color brings out the blue in your eyes."

Conquering? It is your thinking that needs to be adjusted--not your grammar

Why don't you get to know the woman first. That way you don't have to invent a compliment, you could actually just give her one.

You are attempting to manipulate perhaps?

"You're the loveliest thing God ever shovelled guts into" - preferably delivered with a drunken slur. Works every time.

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

No use that --- Conquerer.

I have spoken to 2 men in the past two months that I got warm and fuzzy over after talking on the phone once, then poof! They disappeared on me. But the crazy, creepy, overly religious guys won't get a clue and take a hike. I swear. If a nice, sweet, real guy finds me... it won't matter what he says to me, I will find a way to drive him away.

An amazing array of Politically correct comments. Civilization as we know it, is only 4,000 years old. A blink whan compared to evolution. When it comes to romance our wirings are still early homo sapiens, but our cultural approach has developed to a level of absurdity. It is not reduced to an absurd, but rather grown into an absurd. Attraction is instictual and premordial and our stupid ettiquette is diametically opposed to it.

If you want to "conquer" a woman (and your instincts are revealed in your question), just be yourself.Being funny and intelligent helps.

Yes conquering a woman is pretty backward thinking. A guy I knew opened a hair salon and named it Head Hunters. The logo had a caveman dragging a woman behind him by her hair. That set off an uproar.

You don't sweat much for a fat chick.

Well I have to be atracted as do they ive found. once thats happened just be yourself and have a laugh.

All gentlemen are patient wolf
