Hey, long time lurker, first\-time poster.
I was recently reading "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!", which is a personal anecdotal memoir about the great physicist Richard Feynman. It is an absolutely amazing read, and sheds great insight into the amazing mind of a genius. However, towards the middle of the book, I spot a chapter called "You Jusk Ask Them?" I won't include the relevant parts because it would take the entire chapter, instead, I'll summarize and explain Feynman taking the pill, and his personal philosophy.
So, Feynman is a professor at Cornell, and he spends some time at this bar, attempting to get women to sleep with him without much luck. He describes a story I'm sure we are all familiar with; He'd be talking to this girl, he buy her drinks and sweet talk her half the night, then when the bar closed, they'd say "I'd love to have you over ... blah blah excuse." Feynman is getting pissed because he buys these drinks and doesn't get any ass. However, he is friends with the couple that own the bar, most importantly, the husband who is the "Master of Ceremonies" but just referred to as the Master. He can't read, he can't write, yet his wife is stunning. His job is just to introduce the bands or whoever is playing.
So, Feynman is talking to these two, describe his unhappy situation that seems all too common, and unsurprisingly, the Master knows the answer \(total ladies man\). Before the Master tells Feynman how to get some girls, the Master's wife \(Gloria\) tells him that she'll get a guy to buy Feynman a drink. Feynman is wondering how she'll get a straight dude to buy HIM a drink.
Gloria tells him to sit a distance away from her and some unlucky chap, and when she gives a sign, to walk by slowly. Feynman does this, and when Gloria gives the sign, he walks by slowly. As he passes, Gloria suddenly exclaims "Hi Dick!" \(Feynman's nickname\). The guy she's sitting with has two emotions cross his face quickly. The first is: This Dick guy is competition. However, Gloria introduces Dick as an old friend, and the man's face changes to an expression of relief. Trying to show\-off, the man offers to buy Dick a drink, and Dick accepts.
The Master tells Dick to straight up ask a woman if she'll sleep with him if he buys her a drink. Dick is confused but is also told to adopt the mindset that all women are bitches. So, the day bfore he returns to the bar, he repeats the mantra "Women ain't shit." At the bar, his friend introduces him to a very pretty girl he's chatting with, Dick says "Hi" then ignores him. A few minutes later she invites him to her table, and Dick pretty much considers her a bitch, yet chats with her a bit, doesn't buy her a drink Though. Later, an army lieutenant walks in, and she's talking to him, begins dancing, yet when he's not looking, she smiles at Dick. Dick is immune to THOT gaze.
Later, she says how she wants someone to walk with her. Seizing his chance he gets up, and they begin walking. They stop by a 24 hour coffee shop and weirdly buy three coffees and sandwiches. Then, she says "bye! I need to meet the Army dude!" Feynman calls her worse than a whore and demands his money back. Surprised, she pays him, and he walks back to the bar, miserable in his failure. He decides to walk with Master and Gloria to their home, and Dick apologizes for not following Master's advice. Master says it's fine, that since he made her pay him back, she'll sleep with him. Then, as he's walking across the street with them, the girl runs up, and takes Feynman home.
Feynman adds a later anecdote about AWALT. While in Cornell, he's chatting with a girl. \(One would assume she's different than the ones seen floating around a bar\). Dick invites her to a bar, and before he buys her a drink, asks her "Will you sleep with me if I do?" She says "Yes." While Feynman admits AWALT and this tactic works, he enjoys a more complex way.
Thank you for reading. The book is amazing, like the man himself. It's really funny too. There is more examples of the pill in his life, but this is him swallowing it. Please read it. 10/10.","selftext_html":"
