No, it only worked when they were drunk or when they were sober; I think....seriously though....you'll meet some ladies, shy or not, you speak quite well on CS
Seriously, I think it would work for you...just be uber-confident! I run around telling people I am cute and adorable and a good 85% of the time they believe me....but that's only until the alcohol wears off!
Actually Bill Cosby was quoting Carol Burnett and yes: it can be quite painful! Emotionally during my first labor and delivery, my thoughts concentrated on wanting the pain to end; killing anyone who asked "How are we doing?", and wanting to walk and no one would let me. After 36 hours of labor and half an hour of extreme pushing, my lovely 9 lb. daughter was born. She was huge! The second child was easier to deliver, six hours of labor and no real pain but even he was huge at 8lbs and six weeks early, the third child was the easiest, a little pain, like a muscle ache, a half hour of labor and boom! the little 7 lb was born. Emotionally during labor all I could concentrate on was the act of pushing the baby out, emotionally after birth all I could concentrate on was my baby and how much I loved them; even after the morning sickness, the weight gain, the swollen feet, the craving for odd foods, yup! They were my babies and they were perfect!
I figure I've bought two houses, did renovations, brought one up to code with brand new wiring, laid flooring in each place, did it all and maintained them, kept a nervous eye on the property values as they fluctuated up and down and the taxes going up and up (never down) and after selling the second house in this market, figured, I can just rent for a while and let someone else handle the maintenance. Maybe in ten years or so, I'll buy another place.
