"Ma'am, are you smuggling pencil erasers in your blouse from aisle 10 or are you just happy to see me?"

That's REALLY funny!
You would be amazed at what some women will do to get noticed at a grocery store.

This crap you see in movies of women eventually falling for the sensitive male friend because she realized he is a great guy is crap! Be yourself, be confident and chicks will be attracted to you. I know it is easier said than done.
This is very true...
there was an article in last weeks Maxim about this sort of thing. About how guys need to stop being so sensitive and start being dominant male figures again. It was mostly, actually I think 100%, talking about sex, but it might fit here. It basically said women are tired of sensitive guys that want to be in touch with their feelings. They referenced a craglisting from a lady who was tired of pansy guys and the title read "Just f-ing f me already!"

So, I agree to an extent. You always hear about how women (and I apologize in advance for the generalization) tend to be drawn to a-holes. And, I think a lot of it has to do with a-holes come off as self-assured and not v-j's. Not to say sensitve guys are v-j's by any stretch of the imagination.

I blame Dave Mathews and Jack Johnson for all of this.

I think women want a combination of both. My wife loves my sensitive side, but also likes it when I am an a**hole sometimes.

This was when I was living in Birmingham Alabama, and most of the women who did this were the trophy wives of the rich business men who lived int he area. Some of the sights I saw were glorious, others turned my stomach.

Both definately. They love my sensitive and emotional side, but really love the, uh... more dominant side. When you make a move, make a fing move.
