the sheer lunacy
the one move that is bound to backfire is trying it on with one girl, FAILING ... then moving onto her friend. being the 2nd most attractive girl in the group of people that i go out with (there are only two girls) i have often fallen victim to these kinds of people. even if you did find that person attractive when they hit on your friend, they'd better have an excellent reason for choosing her over you. (except the actual reason which is that she is more attractive.)

however, my friend has a unique (some might use the word 'slutty') approach to this problem. she will wait until someone is hassling our tall, leggy, blonde friend, check if she is actually interested then wait until he has been turned down and pounce. it has had a high success rate...

I go out on my own...
..that way I'm the most attractive person in my group always!

Probably about the same success rate...
... as pouncing on any guy at any time.

At a conservative estimate, at least 95% of available guys being pounced by anyone not actually toxic are going to succumb.

Agreed
This qotw should have two strands, one for guys, who struggle and work hard to impress girls, the other strand for girls, who show a bit more cleavage, and guarantee that whatever they say will work a charm.
