Here's part of a documentary from the British biologist Dr. Robert Winston:

I'm in a rush to go out just now, so have only watched the first few minutes, but it seems pretty interesting. From about 3.30 mins - 6.30 mins there is footage from an experiment which was first tried in Florida a few years ago.
Two things struck me about this footage:
1) Not one of the girls approached agreed to sleep with the guy when he asked them. The guy was by no means the ugliest man in the world, and some of the girls he approached were probably further down the looks scale than him. In other words, it reinforced the fact that game can in most cases get you more than looks, cash etc.
2) Despite the ultra-direct way he approached them, there was not one reaction that was particularly bad. OK, maybe some of them thought it was just a joke/dare, but even so they could have been much nastier to him. Now that I've started to approach after years of being a pussy, this pretty much matches my experience. I've come out with some lame shit and got negative reactions, but NOTHING to cry yourself to sleep over. Guys reading this who used to be as scared as I was to approach girls, pay attention - apart from the occasional crazy exception, THIS is as bad as it gets.
I'm going to watch the rest of this tomorrow. Any thoughts?
