Women, beware. There are men willing to pay $1,600 for a crash course on how to do better at picking you up in bars, learning how to give up on the "canned lines" and "think on their feet" instead, picking up on your "subtle cues."
Ben had a rough Friday night picking up women on the Hotel Gansevoort's balcony after being coldly rejected by two attractive blonds.
The 23-year-old documentary filmmaker, who asked his last name not be used for fear of ridicule, suffers from an acute case of "premature ejectulation" -- ejecting himself early from promising conversations with women for fear of rejection.
Such was the diagnosis from the coaches of "Charm School Boot Camp," a three-day crash course on seducing women that Ben and five other men paid $1,600 apiece for in early August.
"If I were to look at it objectively, I would feel really good about it, and then just leave," Ben said.
Ben is not the only man with crippling fears when it comes to chatting up women. That's why Charm School, run by an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company called Charisma Arts, has no problem finding men who need intense guidance and fieldwork approaching women at places like bookstores and bars.
If your goal in life is to "approach women" in places like bars and bookstores and try to make them warm up to you in a few minutes, you'll generally get the relationships you deserve. And if you need to spend $1,600 to give up on the one-liners . . .
