Back when I was 18 I started doing PUA stuff, researching it and going out in the field and trying it. Well it worked! I met one girl who clicked with me so well that we dated for 2 years...my relationship just ended. For the past 2 months, things have been looking up for me. I got a new job working IT at a university (lots of girls to talk to) and life has been great single. I've tried going to bars and stuff so I can get back in with some liquid courage and have failed very badly and succeeded wonderfully. But to my point. Today I had to go get a balloon filled with helium for a conference we're having tomorrow. It's a large shark balloon like this.. So on my way back into the building and to my office up 2 flights of stairs and after class just got out. I was stopped by every single female I saw because they loved my balloon. I gave him a name and played along like I just felt like carrying him around all day because he's awesome. In a span of two flights of stairs and about 7-10 minutes of conversation total, I managed to get not 1, not 2 but 3 numbers just for carrying a huge shark balloon. Don't know if you guys would care about this story or not, but this is definitely a record for me and it feels great. I also did this all in front of my co-worker who now thinks I'm awesome.

TL;DR: Girls love shark balloons.
