I have a habit of comparing humans to wild animals.
Most animals act on instinct, so when I see similarities between us and them, it's easy to see which types of human behavior is inherit, and which is brought on by our artificial environment. 
We're different, but we're not.  We do everything we can to be on top of the food chain, and ultimately draw a line between us and them.  It's gotten to the point where there are people who truly believe we are not animals, and in no way affected by the laws of nature, until and unless we get hit by some sort of weather pattern that fucks with our way of living.  Shit, we're even trying to get the upper hand and control that too.
We haven't yet found a way to productively reproduce without the majority of people doing it the old fashioned way - fucking.  Sure we have test tube babies, and if you don't want to push 8 pounds out of your vagina, but still want kids, you can adopt, or have your eggs implanted and impregnated into someone elses body.  Either way, the easiest and most feasible way is through intercourse. We, like all species of every living plant and animal, share the same goal.  Ensure the existence of our species through reproduction. 
What we also share with most animals is sexual attraction.  Finding a suitable mate and convincing them that they are suitable.  Few animals have sex for the sole purpose of pleasure - the ones that do are often considered to be more intelligent.  I don't think this is why they're intelligent, I just think it's one of the perks.   Because we are such a species, we fuck because it feels good.  The reward of an orgasm is enough to make us people do some weird ass shit. 
Now let's talk about a guy I work with. We'll call him Banana Man. You'll see why in a moment.  Mr.BM has gained such a nickname after a few of us learned about his "genius" way of "picking up women".   He, self admittedly, used to buy plastic bananas (like the ones old people keep in bowls in their kitchen as decoration) from the dollar store, write his name and number on them, and hand them out at bars. He said that "the bananas reminded them of penises", and further that he got laid as a result. But as a woman, I do not advise you try this at home.  
I don't want to get into the "girls have feelings too" thing.  But I will say that women absolutely have sexual desires no less than men do.  I believe there is this natural connection to this idea that men have to seduce the women, and the women just have to chose the best one to fuck.  That's why it's traditional for men to pay for dinner, and do shit like that, and girls just have to try and look good.  I want to make it known that there is no validity to this massively accepted idea of "the game", and how most men see sexual prowess as an artform which requires skills and technique.  If you've ever googled "how to pick up women" you need to stop.  You're doing it wrong.
Step one - Acknowledgement beyond your own boner.  Like I said - women love sex.  Some of them will even try to get it when it's not already offered.  (I know rite?!?!)  The problem is, and this has been scientifically proven, that women do not want to be seen as sluts.  Studies have been conducted that prove that both men and women lie about the amount of partners they have had, but in different ways. Women will claim less than actual, while men tend to exaggerate.  When asked to be honest under the comfort of confidentiality, it turns out that men and women have the same average amount of partners in the course of their lives.   Otherwise, who are all of these women, men claim to have "had".  
Step two - Stop trying to come up with tricks.  Women are not stupid. We know that men will often say shit they don't mean in order to get sex.  Truth is, the only way you're getting that pussy, is if that pussy wants your dick... or you rape her.  You are hurting your fellow man by lying, and doing stupid things like handing out bananas.  Not only have we caught on to your bullshit, we have defended ourselves against it to the point where legitimately good guys end up being friendzoned, because we're always paranoid about being duped.  We only buy in when we want to - not because you gave us a plastic banana.
Step three - Be upfront.  Like I keep saying, you'd be surprised how easy it is to get laid.  Nobody is going to be offended if you say "I don't want a relationship, just a friend to fuck".... unless of course you already engaged with her under false pretenses.   Girls do this too - men call them gold diggers.   A girl will pretend to love a man, but all she wants is a lifestyle he can provide.  

I know there are plenty of men and women who would rather masturbate than play the game.  Most men want what they think all women want - a relationship. And there's a lot of women out there that just want to have sex and not play house afterwards.  Regardless of what you want, or who you are, you can have and be without all the bullshit.  If you approach shit in a way where you automatically assume... like handing out bananas, thinking all women will respond,  you're going to find yourself associating with the wrong people, and will be putting in far too much effort in doing so.   Everyone's got to stop calling women sluts. They're the only ones who think it's ok to fuck guys they're not married to.
