How To Land A One-Night Stand

"The possibility of having sex ultimately depends on the woman."

Looking to get intimate but don't know where to begin? Finding a girlfriend is one thing, but for many guys our needs are more, how do you say, immediate. Men love sex, especially when there are no strings attached. And what really makes a player a capital-P Player is his ability to secure sex within hours of meeting a woman.

While most of my articles contain at least an element of that goal, I've decided to give you a straightforward, step-by-step account of what you have to do to go from complete stranger to knocking boots with a woman in the space of an evening.

These tips may apply at a nightclub or a house party -- or anywhere bed-able babes can be found. Allow me to illustrate what I mean with one of my own adventures.

A recent encounter

I recently found myself at an art opening wine and cheese (a great place to meet women, incidentally: free wine, food, and mostly women who like to socialize), and as I was mingling and discussing the art and all sorts of things with both women and men, I spotted a woman who looked ripe for what I, as The Player, often have in mind.

There was a certain elegance to her tanned skin under her spaghetti strap dress -- but not so much that she looked like a long-term project rather than a possible one-night conquest. More a pretty woman than a photogenic knockout, I could see she had a fun spirit about her as she laughed and chatted with a couple of other ladies.

Grabbing some food at a table beside her, I listened in on their conversation for 30 seconds, then joined in with an opinion opposite to the one she had just expressed to her friends, to get a little tension going. My target, Valerie, who looked about 30, and her two friends welcomed me into their conversation, which continued amiably enough for about five minutes before I excused myself.

1- Spot your prey

Opt for women who wear little clothing
No, not just because you can better inspect "the goods." When women ovulate, they often dress provocatively, as they subconsciously want to attract potential mates -- the equivalent of animals being in heat. The animalistic element is quite present in the primordial one-night stand process. Use it to your advantage.

Approach experienced women
The older ladies who seem fun-loving are generally more adventurous, and are therefore a good choice.

Hit up women in all combinations
With a group of women, don't necessarily approach the most attractive one. Instead, use game theory: opt for the second-most attractive to increase your chances of success, since she probably doesn't get hit on as much. This, in turn, might make the alpha female jealous, which could create a bidding war that works to your advantage.

You could always opt for the least attractive woman to optimize your chances, since she probably rarely gets any attention at all when she goes out with her girlfriends. But if you're a real player, surely you'll be setting your sights higher than the ugly duckling.

Note: If you plan on buying your prey a drink, then you should buy one for all her friends as well.

Move in on women who are alone
If she's alone, on the other hand, you won't face resistance from her friends. She's likely to want to talk to interesting fellows who can entertain her.

Remember, even if your pick-up skills are excellent, if you select the wrong woman who's in a bad mood and/or not into one-night stands, then you have no chance. The possibility of having sex ultimately depends on the woman.
