How to use a hand puppet to meet, attract, and date tons of single women...
By Don Diebel

This is probably the craziest dating tip of the week I've ever written. And please don't think I've lost my mind because of what I'm about to suggest to you as a great way to meet and attract single women for love and romance. So what is it?

Well, did you know you can meet single women like crazy by using a hand puppet? I know you're thinking, "what in the hell is he talking about? A puppet?"

Let me explain - Well, I've got a friend that uses what I call, "The Puppet Method" to meet single women in nightclubs. Here's how he does it:

First, you will need a hand puppet. You can buy them at your major toy stores such as Toys R Us.
Bring your hand puppet with you to a nightclub where there are lots of single ladies.
When you see a girl that you're attracted to, approach her and tap her on the shoulder lightly with your puppet and when she turns around raise your hand puppet towards her face and say something like this with your puppet, "Hi beautiful, would you like to dance with me?" Move your puppet up and down with your hand as you are saying your script just as if the puppet was really talking. And be sure to talk in a real silly voice.
What happens next? She's going to die laughing and think that you are so funny. Plus, you will make a very favorable impression on her because women love a guy with a sense of humor. And, of course, she will most likely dance with you.
I know this method of meeting single women seems a little silly, but try it. It works like a charm for my friend and it can work for you too.

You don't just have to use the "Puppet Method" in nightclubs to meet and attract single women. You can use your hand puppet anywhere to talk to women. Believe me, they will be laughing so hard they can hardly stand it!

So, anybody going to take this guy's advice to heart? Me? I think I'll pass...

sillygirl · 12-22-2004, 10:57 AM

I dunno about in a nightclub... maybe also not so sure about a storebought puppet... but something cheesy like that in the right situation WOULD make me laugh and probably give my number.

stonegrody · 12-22-2004, 11:02 AM

This may work for retired men at a rest home but I don't think any woman would actually consider a guy who uses a puppet to pick up women. The guy would be referred to as the "weird puppet guy". No one wants to dance with the weird puppet guy! He'll be the one standing alone in the corner, bobbing his head with a stupid puppet on his hand.

No way would I ever try this act of desperation. I'll stick to magic and card tricks.

Just kidding. I don't know any card tricks.

silent_jay · 12-22-2004, 11:06 AM

Tap a woman on the shoulder in a nightclub with a puppet. I think that might get you slapped or maced even. Surely there will be a restraining order against you not to go X number of feet near the club.

I think I'll pass on this advice, the guy looks like a porn star from the 70's or something.

sillygirl · 12-22-2004, 11:25 AM

jay, you probably coulda used that puppet to get my number

silent_jay · 12-22-2004, 11:27 AM

now you tell me this. I'm an idiot

Charlatan · 12-22-2004, 11:39 AM

Why does this feel like it was witten by the "nerd" from Saved by the Bell?

silent_jay · 12-22-2004, 11:47 AM

Screech, I could see Screech writing this, trying to get Lisa

sandinista · 12-22-2004, 02:05 PM

This will make the women laugh - but will this make them want to have sex with you? dunno. You've gotta have something else going for you that makes her feel attraction, and therefore you don't need a stupid puppet to get chicks if you have something else going for you.

cyrnel · 12-22-2004, 02:14 PM

If you can make a pickup with a puppet you don't need the puppet.

Redlemon · 12-22-2004, 02:14 PM

"tons of single women". Heh. How much do these women weigh who fall for this crap?

/ couldn't help it, sorry. I don't hate fat people.

El Kaz · 12-22-2004, 02:45 PM

Well yeah.. I try as a general rule to not take myself seriously. This is an example of it. Maybe a bit extreme of an exemple, but an example still

In all honesty, I don't think I'd have the balls to try it.

Vincentt · 12-22-2004, 03:17 PM

They do this in "The Sims".
I have seen it before, they will laugh and you get points. Sometimes though, they will burst out crying at your puppet.
I used to joke with my roommate, pretending I had a puppet, and then he would start crying.

I think it would be hilarious to have a hidden puppet and then randomly bring it out during normal conversations. I have thought of doing such, but not to the point of seeking a puppet.
However, I find such offbeat / unexpected things to be the best comedy in the world.

Zephyr66 · 12-22-2004, 08:59 PM

I would never do that, I respect my eyes too much to put them through the macings.

thed00t · 12-23-2004, 12:04 AM

Not sure I would want to date a girl who would fall for that crap.

Jakes · 12-23-2004, 05:28 AM

i think its kinda funny, if you were talking to two chicks, with a wingman(never leave home without one) you could kinda sneek it onto your hand then have the puppet peak over his back at girls. then you could fumble your words turn red in the face and be right where you were before you started.

I think you take yourself too seriously. Coming up to some random girl in a nightclub with one? No. But doing SOMEthing to make her laugh will get her interest, at least a little of it, and make her think there's something there that might be worth learning a bit more about.

Oh for sure. But use a puppet? Well, I have a pretty good track record of just saying "Hi, what's your name". You don't need a puppet, which you have pointed out. Like I said, if I walked up to a complete stranger and put a puppet on her shoulder followed by me saying something corney, and she busted out laughing... well for some reason the attraction would start to wain for me.

raeanna74 · 12-23-2004, 04:59 PM

Yeah I'd laugh. Might even give a phone number but... that would be AFTER talking to the guy for a while MINUS the hand puppet and ensuring in my mind that he wasn't totally wacked out. I might even be more reserved because the hand puppet would tell me that something WASN'T totally right with the guy. If he can't talk for himself I'm not that interested. Being funny is one thing but not having the guts to talk to me "himself" instead of through a puppet would make me hesitant to trust him. What's he got to hide? What does he think he doesn't have that he'd be so insecure as to need a prop like that?

Go ahead and introduce yourself to girls in person, after you get to talking bring out a small simple sock puppet, tell them how much your nephew or whatever loves it, and then do your best puppet talk and make people laugh. There are ice breakers and then there are ice makers. The difference is mostly in the timing. Puppet for introduction - NOT a good idea.

Fate · 12-23-2004, 09:45 PM

I believe I could really pull this off. The next question is "do I want to?".

longbough · 12-24-2004, 02:35 PM

It ain't about the puppet. It's about having the balls to show that you don't mind looking silly just to break the ice. And that's all it is - an icebreaker that doesn't require a godawful pickup line. Of course, if you don't understand the principle and use the book like a formula I can see how this can backfire and come across as more creepy than anything else.
When (if) the ice is broken then it's up to you to carry the show. And if you don't know how to carry a sincere or normal conversation with another person then all the novelty acts in the world won't carry you.

Stick · 12-24-2004, 06:26 PM

I don't need a puppet to make a girl laugh. I just trip over the nearest inanimate object.

Exactly. I've done that, too.

Squishor · 12-25-2004, 11:34 AM

I can just picture myself rolling my eyes and wondering if he brings his little friend to clubs with him all the time. I'm cringing even now. The puppet guy would probably not be getting my phone number (for the reasons reanna74 described above) and would be getting a wide berth from me. A sense of humor is great and we all need to not take ourselves so seriously but IMHO the pupet thing is just plain creepy.

I just thought of something though. The first time I ever had a conversation with my now ex-boyfriend (6+ years together) was when he pulled out a book on crop circles at a softball game. It was so random, it was intriguing, and we ended up talking for a couple of hours. I guess the difference is he didn't flap the pages open and make it like the book was talking to me.

Catmandu · 01-04-2005, 09:29 AM

I have this vision of the line outside a big club in downtown Chicago or New York. Puppets hanging from the back pocket of each of the single guys. I'm seeing lot's of Cookie Monsters and Oscars. Pepe the Prawn would be a winner. A true classic would be the white sock with that little eye attachment dealybob.

derektor · 01-08-2005, 01:25 PM

it'll never work man. you can't get in the club with that thing. the key to the article is to have something different on you at all times. someting that could spark a conversation. for me... it's cigarettes. i don't smoke but i carry them everywhere. usually ends up with a very odd chat about why i carry them and don't smoke. i have no reason... they usually leave with a weird look on their faces.

zenkat911 · 01-08-2005, 01:32 PM

I dont think the impression of a hand puppet is "funny," I think the word they we're looking for here is "creepy"

snowy · 01-08-2005, 08:54 PM

Yes, creepy, definitely. Ew. If a guy came up to me in a nightclub with a hand puppet, I'd seriously wonder what kind of issues he had.

Fuck yeah . .. i would be laughing . . . laughing AT him and then moving quickly away and warning my friends NOT to go near him . . .

damiandt · 01-10-2005, 02:30 PM

LOL. I actually use a method somewhat similar in the sense that my goal is to make the girl laugh.

If I catch a girls eye, I walk over, crack a big smile and then whip out my pez dispenser and say...

PEZ!?

Best opener I've ever had.

anti fishstick · 01-10-2005, 09:57 PM

I think I would laugh if it was like the fandango puppet. Then it wouldn't be as silly because there'd be a reference to something date-like there. So it makes sense to me.

The mental image here had me laughing out loud.
