Hey, guys. Long time, no post. Listen, I want your feedback on what I believe is going to be a great way to approach women. I call it The Rose.

See, a couple hours ago, it was shortly after closing time in the club/bar part of my small, southern Minnesota town when I found a rose. A woman had been going around selling them earlier and apparently someone had bought one for a woman who obviously didn't appreciate it. I picked it up an held it. It wasn't long before women started noticing I was holding it and started asking me why (Peacocking). Unfortunately, after a bit of quick thinking, I decided to say I would give it to a woman who would give me a kiss. I still don't think that was a bad thing to say, but the few women I ended up saying it to were like "*Pffft* Yeah, right." and walked away. On the way home, however, it occurred to me to use it to get women to qualify themselves to me. The next time I go out (and perhaps every night I go out from now on) I will get my hands on a single rose to carry around. When the women ask me who it's for, I will say to them that I will give it to a woman who impresses me with her personality. By that, I mean three things, and this is true; I'm not making this up. Number one, I'm past the point of being impressed with a woman's looks alone. I want a woman who is equally attractive on the inside. Number two, I recognize that most women want to be appreciated for more than their looks. Finally, number three, I honestly meet very few women whose personalities truly resonate with my own. You want this rose? Tell me why I should give it to YOU.

I think this works on many levels. Women like roses. It takes care of Peacocking, which takes care of my opening. It challenges them to live up to my standards, so they have to qualify themselves to me. It's got kind of a sword-in-the-stone angle to it. It makes me look sweet and mature. If other women see the women talking to me, it will help with social proof. Unfortunately, it doesn't arouse sensual thoughts in their minds, but I just thought of this; I'm working on that.

So what do you think? Will it work? Any thoughts on how to improve it? Any thoughts on segways or where I could take the conversation from there? Perhaps I should throw in a story about a flower I once gave to another woman; say, the last woman who won a rose from me. Unfortunately, I thought of this at the end of the night on a Saturday and I work overnight next weekend, so I'm not going to get to try this for myself for two weeks unless I go out on a weeknight, which I think I will. I'm anxious to test this. Feel free to test this one for yourselves and let me know what kind of results you get. If it works as well for you as I hope it will for me, you're welcome.

Simple and beautiful! I am definitely trying this.

For the arousal of the senses part, when she asks you why you're carrying a rose around, you could jokingly say something like "Yeah, I use this instead of cologne. Who doesn't love the smell of a rose?" and let her smell it. (perhaps you could also let her smell your cologne and then ask her which smells better!)

I'm still very new to pickup so I don't know if that's any good but wanted to humbly suggest it anyhow.

Yes indeed I'll be trying that also
