Trying To Win A Girl Is Like Selling A Car - Well, Almost

Trying to win a girl is like selling a car. You have to offer something that is in demand, and make it easy for her to say "yes". But just how do you do that?

While much depends on who you are and who she is, there are a few ground rules that you need to follow. I'll continue with the car analogy to show you what they are.

First, are you a shining new top-of-the-range model with all the latest gadgets, a powerful engine that does 0 to 60 in 5 seconds and a luxurious interior that oozes charm and sophistication?

Or are you more down market, a more economical type with an emphasis on safety features, sporting a ten-year anti-corrosion warranty and impressive fuel-consumption figures?

If you have a few miles on the clock perhaps you make up for it with proven low maintenance costs, a full service history and just one previous, careful owner.

Let's hope you don't have much to hide; no worn tyres, concealed accident damage or a battery about to give up the ghost.

What are you like on a test run? Do you live up to the expectation generated by your gleaming exterior and welcoming aroma? Or are there one or two worrying noises coming from the gearbox? And does the exhaust smell offensive?

This analogy isn't quite as flippant as it sounds. If you're going to win a girl then you have to make at least as great an effort as the seller of a car. And the first thing most successful car sellers take into account is what kind of person is likely to be attracted by the kind of car they are selling.

So what kind of girl do you think would be attracted to you? Someone who loves the excitement of racing through the gears and driving at top speed? Or a quieter girl, who would be happy to travel in the slow lane as long as she doesn't suffer a breakdown? Establish this and you're half way to knowing how to get a girlfriend.

The important point is that if you don't seem to be having success in attracting the kind of girl who you would feel happiest with then you will have to do something to make yourself attractive to that kind of girl.

Just as the seller of a car that has a defect would probably have to fix it before he can sell it for the price he wants.

Let's look at what your kind of girl wants in a guy. While this will vary from one girl to another, there is one thing that almost any girl craves.

And that is to be made to feel good about herself.

It's not about how wonderful you are. It's about how wonderful she is. And in what way you let her know she's wonderful.

If you can provide that then you have the vital quality required to win a girl.
