Sorry about all the random posts, but people are throwing a lot of ideas at me...
My writers group and I were talking about all the Get Laid Fast books and what that scene is all about. I have to admit I'd never read one, but they do seem to be hot sellers. The premise of all these books is to be social and have fun with women without trying to get them into bed.
They are all pep-talk books and will teach the very shy to be LESS shy and get out there and have fun. Women don't always need to have sex, but they enjoy talking to guys and having fun over drinks. If you can be very comfortable and smooth with women during happy hour, when they do want to take someone home, you'll be one of their options.
I don't think most guys need these little advice books. If you keep yourself clean and well-groomed - and keep your weight at a normal/average level, you won't have trouble finding sex out there. Be friendly, work out all your psychological baggage, look for drunk girls or girls who want to get drunk. Go for the easy sex first, then you can work on getting sober girls, or good girls later on.
