Flattery Helps

Flattery, an act of giving excessive compliments. It works surprisingly well against all types of females, especially if they are the feminine kind.

In many ways, flattery works like a heat-seeking missile, only what the missile homes in on is our vanity. And vanity, as the sages tell us, is the most universal human trait. We all want to be liked. We all want to be appreciated. Flattery almost always hits its target because the target — you, me, everybody — rises up to meet it. We have no natural defense system against it. We don't doubt because we want to believe. As John Locke said, we all "find pleasure to be deceived." If it's a lie, it's a lie we don't care or want to question. "Lie to me," sings Sheryl Crow, "and I'll promise to believe."
---- Richard Stengel

I could easily think a few hundred ways how flattery can help anyone, here are some examples:
1) More Discounts
2) Get people to do favours for you
3) Avoid punishment
4) One night stand
I was having a chat with mr.X a few days ago.
mr.X suggest that if I were to go for a girl, use flattery. Use it alot, use it kao kao. Use it till bees fly over and swarm my whole body. No matter how fake it is, flatter only!

I was suspicious of mr.X's advice, until I came to know some unspoken rules about dating for men and women.
Male: Always use flattery done in a tasteful way.
Female: Always pretend to enjoy his flattery, even if it is tasteless and badly delivered.

Flattery and corny cheesy lines like this one,
"My buddies over there said that I wouldn't be able to start a conversation with the most beautiful girl in the bar. Wanna buy some drinks with some of their money? *pause* While we drink, I can look at your eyes for an eternity cause I've never seen such dark eyes with so much light in them. *pause* Speaking of eternity, Most people like to watch the Olympics, because they only happens once every 4 years, but I'd rather talk to you cause the chance of meeting someone so special only happens once in a lifetime."

For guys, whats your favourite flattery line?
For girls, how would you like people to flatter you?
