Ambitious title I know. Especially since the people that frequent TL are famous for their understanding of the fairer sex. Just look at all the girl blogs. It is known.

But today a friend told me of a man who's understanding of girls puts the collective knowledge of TL to shame. You might not have heard of him since he apparently lives in the land down under (Australia, for you americans, and no its not the same as Austria). Even though we share the same country, I'm not even 1/100 of the girl whisperer that he is. His ability to persuade with words is otherworldly. So without further ado;
[image loading]

Lets spare a few moments and analyze this masterpiece. Notice the chutzpah right out of the gate. He doesn't just try and pickup 1 girl. No. A real man does 3, at the same time. Think about how brilliant this psychological maneuver is. All 3 girls now know that if they don't have a "coffee catchup" with him, 2 other girls would jump at the chance.

[image loading]
You don't want to be the girl at the back with the beachball now do you.....

On to the actual letter.
Notice the humility.
Notice how he uses mystery to arouse the girl's curiosity. (WTF is a pocket square?)
Notice the way he subtly reveals his shiny academic history.

Now that the girls are all warmed up. He hits them with the big guns. He knows the "movers and shakers", but he is not an elitist, he is a man of the people. He knows everyone from grads to MD, from boutique to bulge bracket. He even knows the most revered suited cowboys.
The management consultants.
You know the ones that dual-wielding other people's money and other people's ideas.
Because we all know if you ever want "interesting insights into global markets", management consultant are the ones to speak to.

If Shady Sands was black

Now that the girls are all foaming at the loins, he moves in for the kill under the non threatening title Realisticlly. Thats right girls, Mr Lu is too classy for an orgy, so "large group catchups" are out of the question. But as I said, Mr Lu is a classy guy and he will take one of you out when you are "free solo" and "coffee/lunch" you.
Who knows, if you get really lucky Mr Lu might even let you "grab something better if times allows".

Just seems lazy, bizarre and obnoxious in the extreme. I can't tell what's more ridiculous, the use of subheadings or the fact he mailed it to all 3. Even if it 'worked', I would be surprised if he raised his chances over sending individual emails. And he increased his chance of coming across like an asshole 100%.

Pff terrible email. Totally devoid of humor and the use of subtitles is rediculous, besides it aren't even all girls?

Yeah.

That just seemed really weird.

On the other hand it might just work (based on the assumption he's good on dates or turning a seemingly platonic date into a sexual one)

I really don't know.

I think the point of this is humor, but I do not think it is very funny. It just seems painfully odd.

I don't even. I'm not sure if it would be worse if you were serious or trying to make fun of him.

It's been circulating and I suppose the point of the blog was to make fun of him. That guy is in some deep shit though lol
