A long time ago I had a friend, ye that was b4 the aids thing; who slept with +1000 woman (and he kept a record of it) by the age of 18. He got married by the age of 21; haven't heard from him since...
Now that was some real record. Of course he was higher than average, but he wasn't even looking hot (IMHO).
I don't know if he had the magic stick; but I know one thing for sure: he could talk woman into bed within 5 minutes.
My conclusion is that woman fall over and over for the same "chatting up" tricks; like we fall for their looks.
