Casanova's Advice for the First 100 Dates
Song Chang-min, who has just published a book entitled "The Art of Dating," calls himself a Casanova.

"When you find someone you want to go out with, ask for a date. On the day, give her a cheap mobile phone accessory when you meet, go to a movie and give her a book. Before going home, give her a hairpin from your bag. Later send a text message saying, 'What I really wanted to give you from my bag was my love, not a hairpin.'" Smooth.

The rest, apparently, is math. The formula is "Love = Sincerity x (Technique + Courage) + Self-development."

Background colour behind the girl is a bit darker. Was she photoshopped in?

Surely all he had to do as a Korean was force himself on her? And then both would be left with no other option than get married.

I have to wonder about what the other eighty women thought.

(Tears of jubilation are the first things which come to mind.)

So according to this guy, women are basically prostitutes, you have to buy them things if you wanna get jiggy with them.
Wouldn't a trip up the hill be cheaper and easier?

Two things came to mind when I saw this.

First, it reminded me of Dear Abby and Anne Landers, twin sister advice columnists who wouldn't speak for something like 20 years. IOW, you don't have to be personally successful at what you preach.

Second, in spite of his shortcomings, he's had dates with 100 women and he's only 28. He's doing something right.


I smell some sour grapes in the posts.

That's coming on a bit strong.

My advice to this gentleman would be to dispense with all that bollox.

Whether or not it works, half of Korea's single guys are gonna be trying this now. It's just like when Maxim publishes some retarded idea that might work once for one guy, and then suddenly every dumbass frat boy shows up at the bar wearing pyjamas.

And I call myself a poached egg sandwich. It doesn't make me one. If he's so busy with women, how does he have time to write books?
