You know, one of my favorite movies in the last few years was Hitch, starring Will Smith. It was a lot of fun, and dealt with a matchmaker who taught his clients how to sweep a woman off her feet. Indeed, I don't think I have laughed so hard during a movie in years.

Believe it or not, there are actually guys like that out there who say they can teach you The Rules of Seduction. Now that sounds like an interesting concept to me. Let's set aside the question of ethics for a minute -- but just a minute -- and ask the key question: "Is there a way to guarantee that you can pick up any woman you want?" These guys say that there are, and that they can be learned if you have the motivation.

Now there is the ethical question related to these rules. Are you out to use these women and cast them aside? Or are you looking for romance and love? If the latter is the case, I can’t argue against learning The Rules of Seduction as a way of meeting that special one. If one is into selfish pleasure, definitely not – but then again, could such techniques work for one who was insincere? We’ll find out on December 7 when the UK’s Channel 4 airs a special about these pick up artists.
