That would be a good start

There's nothing more impressive than JUST BE YOURSELF.....be who you are and what you are. People will like you just the way you are. Don't try harder to impress someone, because it's not gonna show the real you at the end. It should be ACCEPTANCE on both sides, accept yourself and have confidence for being you and in return people will like you for being REAL. Do what is in your heart, act it, speak it and show it in everything that you do for those people who value you will appreciate YOU.

Alternatively, always have a dog as a wingman, and cover story.

I actually gave up a long time ago, trying to figure out how to impress a woman. Positively, anyway. Pretty much everything I tried before, backfired badly.

On the other hand, the women who were impressed positively, always pointed to something I was doing just because I thought it was the logical way to go at the time. So bottom line, I wont add to the list on that side.

On the side of what I've found impresses me from women, it's when they demonstrate that they can see the world and each moment from more than one perspective. That helps especially when I inevitably make a mistake, and instead of looking for a reason to declare me unfit to breath within five thousand miles of her, she actively shows she thinks it WAS a mistake.

In other words, when she shows confidence in her own generally positive appraisal of me.

that's called kindness.

Of all answers ...being yourself, to me, is the most important

don't be too sure..
it all began with God creating man in His image
then tore out a bit from him to create Eve.
then Eve played out her bit & refashioned man..
yep, Adam swallowed it all
now we have all colors of men;


each time a man surrenders to a beauty..
she gets down to improving him..
he opens doors, pulls up chairs,
adores her cleavage, kisses her lipstick
pays the bills..& didn't someone say, holds up his fart(?)
what agony..

oh yeah, moment he forgets to pay up her credit cards..
the game is over.

i bet a man could save up half a million if he never married.

okay, okay; ladies just saying..
2 sides to every issue.

The 2 sides to every issue are....there are naturally tempting women who are who they are and what they are without trying to impress any guy at all. And other women are doing everything they can to impress a man and be tempted. Two different kinds of women.

As for men, there are good and bad. A disciplined and honorable man whose not easily swayed by a woman's schemes and a weak man who loses control when in front of a woman, he forgets to hold his urges and overwhelmed by his desires for flesh.

A man who is forced to do something to please a woman is called PRETENDER.....A trying hard nice man , not true to himself and to the woman he likes. A real man should do things to a woman according to what's inside his heart, no pretensions just be himself , confident enough to get the woman of his dreams for showing who he really is and what he is....That's REAL MAN

A man who uses his money as a bait to get a woman lacks confidence in himself....he will indeed be sorry when his money goes down the drain and fooled by a woman whose after his money only. There are women whom you can't buy with your money. They will love you for being you not your pocket.

As for not marrying to save your half a million .....hmmmnmmn....i wish you will be happy with your life or maybe go to heaven and bring your money in your grave

Nicely countered Dolphin.

On the last point, without a family, Joe
becomes a rogue elephant

Sorry you both might be all that and a bag of cats but I don't do self invites, wine and I sure don't do gatecrashers. You missed the point entirely on how to impress.

OH, well....I tried. Sitting here with a bottle of red and no where to go.

it's ok to become a rogue elephant, a wanderer in the wilderness you'll never know what you will find in the sound of silence, a world apart from the rest......being alone may give you peace and happiness who knows what's in store for you...a rescuer may come and bring you to the zoo....there the wild animals are being tamed and loved

The words of a poet

My tongue does not speak flowery words of a poet I express my thoughts from the heart.......though it sounds like bantering there maybe some truth in all those words spoken

A poet or from the heart. They were wonderful words that meant something to those that read them. Thanks

I hope so I don't intend to insult anyone, but words have the power to touch one's heart that listens if spoken with sincerity A wise man can read between the lines and don't get offended easily but rather take each words as a sign of wisdom

Impression is the only thing I have. Which means I'm myself. If anything, I'll know the feeling may be real.

A person being themself is the most honest way he/she can be.
