I was taught seduction by the pro's. I answered an ad for Fred Astaire dance studios to be a telemarketer when I was 19 (and a lot skinnier). They told me a good dance instructor makes $40K-$60K a year. Even though it seemed like a totally gay thing to do, I said I would give it a try. 
To get through their basic silver level course costs about $10K. After that there is a Gold and a Platinum level. That was a ton of money back in the 80's. You know how they did it? They went after middle aged women who's husbands were sucessful and not paying attention to their wives. These chicks weren't looking to learn to dance, they wanted attention. Fred Astaire Dance Studios taught me how to seduce women! 
I had several professional sales jobs. I moved to California and decided to work at a video dating service like Great Expectations called Connections. In a way, it was not unlike MySpace because people prepared profiles to share. 
To sell a $5000 membership we had to take customers through a 2 hour emotional roller coaster. They had psychologists analyze dating and we were able to show people what mistakes they were making in dating and teach them how to date successfully. (how to get $%^#, lol).Here is an example. We are taught as children that you shouldn't talk to strangers. This is for the safety of children. However, most of your mental programming occurs in the first 5 years of your life when you have a "clean slate". What else have you heard? Children should be seen and not heard, nice girls don't call guys, etc etc etc.
 
Now fast forward to your present life. You are standing in a bar and you see someone you are really attracted to. You know all you would have to do is walk over and say "hi" but you are nailed to the floor. You keep thinking that "I'll go over and talk to her right after this song is over" or "I'll go talk to her after I finish this drink". By the time you get up the balls to make a move, someone else has asked her to dance or is talking to her or maybe the bar is getting close to closing time and you don't want to seem like you are desparate. Does this sound like you? If it does, you are not alone. It's about 99% of guys 
The reason this happens is because of your mental programming as a child. You are trying to break down things you have been taught by your parents to protect you as a child. Once we exposed this truth, people realized we knew what we were talking about. 
Here are a couple tips if you want to be more successful with women: 
1. Stop *&^%$#@ off so your natural sexual drive builds 
2. Don't go out with your friends when you go out to meet women. They will distract you. You will worry about the women you talk to meeting their, not your expectations. You lose your focus and end up drinking with your buddies and going home alone. 
3. Stick to women in your range. Unless you are Justin Timberlake you don't have a chance with Britney Spears so why invite rejection? 
4. Get dressed up. Maybe you don't feel comfortable in a suit but it will get you laid. If you were a woman would you be more attracted to a guy with Joe's ARCO shirt or a guy in a suit? yeah I know baggy clothes and football jerseys are in but if you are 25 or older, suits make you look like a business person who has a good job and is secure. Take a look at P Diddy when he goes out. He is not wearing rapper clothes. 
5. They don't care about your car or 4X4 truck that has 18" rims and a Blaupunkt stereo. Most guys spend tons of money for a great car because they think it will attract chicks. I have had 3 corvettes, a porsche and a mercedes. None of them helped me get *&%$ other than it did build my confidence a little. For the most part they thought I was a jerk. Whats the difference between a cactus and a corvette owner? with a cactus, the pricks are on the outside. Most women don't even have a clue about cars and you can't get your car in side the bar anyway. I get more leg spending freely in a bar than making a $400/mo car payment and having to watch every dime I spend. They are watching how tight you are with your money. If you can't afford to show them a good time, they wont show you a good time either. 
6. Dance - Chicks love to dance and guys don't. Nobody is looking at you. Don't make wild gestures. Just shift back and forth in time with the music and nobody will even notice you. Chicks love a good dancer but will settle for a guy who WILL dance. If you followed my advice and are out alone, there is nobody to make fun of you anyway. Keep in mind hardly any guys "want" to dance. Every girl in the bar wants to dance. That's why you see so lots of girls dancing with each other and you never see two guys dancing with each other. When you ask a girl to dance, you just increased your chances over the guys who don't dance. Most women wont dance a slow dance with a guy unless they have danced a few fast ones. If you know the club, you know a song or two before they go to a slow set, so always make sure you are on the floor just before the slow song starts. Its a natural to "stay and dance the slow one too" which is your goal. She has to get used to you touching her if you are going to end up in the sack in a few hours.Don't forget if you get real ballsy you can $&#* block a guy who is hitting on a chick you danced with before simply by asking her if she wants to dance, even while he is talking to her. Judge this carefully because it can get you sucker punched, but more often than not she will dump him because you are acting like an alpha male and taking what you want. Women love this.
