How to Talk to Women

Comments (26)
March 6, 2009

How to talk to women is a question that most men face at one time or another.  ”Just be yourself,” they tell us.  ”Just talk to us,” they say.  Well, we still have to speak actual words, right?  

In my ongoing search for vlog material, I remembered my ol’ friend Keith’s tactic for approaching women at a bar.  He had it down to a science.  But even when he got rejected, he was one of those guys who could just smile and walk away.  It was truly impressive.  His confidence never took a hit.  Of course, to be honest, I was terrible at talking to girls in bars.  It was way too awkward (or maybe I was way too awkward).

By the way, my beautiful co-star was made from a Trader Joe’s shopping bag, and a leftover gift-box from Christmas.

    I left this comment on the video…then I realized it was comment 1867 (or something). So when I came here to read more, I thought I’d leave it here, so it could be read. I mostly just wanted to mentioned the cliick-timing. Cheers

    …Great video. I can’t even remember why I subscribed to you because I haven’t seen anything in a while. Obviously I made a good choice. Good advice. Oh, and when you encourage women to click away, it timed perfectly with the google ad pop-up thing that I automatically click close. Intentional? brilliant. Either way, nice timing.

    HAHA I loved this one. By far my favourite out of all the videos I’ve watched. These videos are all pretty hilarious.

  15. EffE

    right on man! you bet us!!

  16. Roxanne

    This could also work for the ladies out there. Awesome and simple. I’ll tell my single female friends to try it and I’ll report back if it works for them. Matt, how is the next Fuplers coming. Those are priceless! Thanks!!!!

    I can see you do actually know women quite well due to you insisting on us looking away ! Well that alone would ensure we could not be left out on a boys secret and would in fact make us watch more, furthermoore I am extreamly glad I did surcome to my womanly urge to be in on all secrets, as to see your amazing green eyes were totally worth the 2 mins of my afternoon xxbev

  19. Eric

    Ha! (Yeah. You knew women were watching anyway. As soon as you say “for the guys”, women are like “Oh yeah? Tell me all about it!” “For the guys” means “something my girl friends and I can laugh about later”.)

    The gum trick works on guys, too. I know. If you’re into that kind of thing… not that there’s anything wrong with it.

    Someone told me that you can make an embarrassing announcement better by adding “not that there’s anything wrong with it.”

    Then again, I could just delete that before hitting the [SUBMIT] button, but then, I couldn’t repeat this advice I heard. Probably also works when you mess up with approaching women, not that I would know anything about that.

    That’s another one: “… not that I would know anything about that.”

    corny pick up line
    step 1, write your phone number on a piece of paper and fold it up. make it neat so it doesn’t look like a piece of trash
    step 2, wait for a girl you think is good looking to walk by and drop it behind her. make sure this isn’t during happy hour or some loud club, she would hear you for step 3
    step 3, get her attention and say that she dropped “this” pick it up for her because you are a gentlemen and hand it to her.
    step 4, just as she takes it say something along the lines of “you no sorry that’s my phone number but you can keep it”

    at the very least she’ll laugh if she isn’t a snob and be interested

    use at you own risk…. 40% fail rate

    you’ll know if it really worked if she does the same thing to you

    someone’s been using Garageband music loops!

    funny video

  22. Ryan

    Hilarious, simple, genius, but their needs to be a part II, III, IV..etc.

  23. Mel

    I don’t know if the gum trick worked in Hungary, but in Brazil that would never work in a bar or a nigthclub. “Hi” works better ;)

  24. very funny. got a talent there man, all u’re videos are good material…Keep it going

  25. Linda

    Oh… Hey You wanna a piece of gum?
    Hahahaha….

  26. AngeLa

    What ever happened to the good ol buy a girl a drink from across the bar…if she accepts the drink she should make her way to you to say thank you..amd thats the perfect way to make your move……..if not your out of a few bucks!!
    P.S Matt, you r so damn cute!!!!
