If out on the pull,
and you see a couple of pretty ladies, go over and try your luck. However, don't approach the prettiest of the group, go for the second; for several reasons

1. The prettiest girl will expect you to be approaching her and won't make much of an effort thinking she'll get a free drink out of you.

2. The second girl will not be expecting it. At all. You will boost the confidence of someone who has always seen herself as second fiddle. Her gratitude will also make things easier for you.

3. If however, the second girl doesn't bite then the first girl will be more interested as she now thinks she's not automatically the first choice and will want to do something about it.

If all else fails, go home and have a wank.

Or save time, money and effort
by skipping straight to the last step.

This is encapsulated in the expression
If you want to go for the master, you have to go for the hounds first.

However, if your prime aim.....
....is emptying the gloop-bin, then skip all this, down a couple of doubles and head straight for the brick faced lard-arse at the back of the group.

You'll get laid, she'll be so pleased that she'll get the drinks in, and you can brag to your mates about your scoring record (after a morning of sitting in the bath scouring your bell end with Cif, wishing you could do the same to the hideous memories seared forever on your subconscious).

Nash's equilibrium.

In it's film-adaptation form.
