I wanted to help a friend get laid. While doing this, we accidentally discovered a hugely successful method to attract women - and it is ridiculous fun!

Get a male friend to wear a skirt. It completely confuses women and it is a great opener. Some women take an instant dislike to the situation. (A strong negative response can be swung around.) Other women are genuinely awed and complimentary to the Amazonian goddess on your arm.

So, how did we discover this?

My friend cross-dresses in private. He also reckons that he's attractive and good at getting women to the extent that he thinks he's a player. Well, he's read some of the more outrageous attraction tips but he wasn't that good until we double dared each other. We both agreed to wear skirts around Central London to see if he had more success. Well, he backed out but he had great success anyhow. With me as his wingtranny, he got the real telephone number of a London Fashion Week Model, two further telephone numbers and ended the evening in bed with an 18 year old. Nothing much happened in the bed - they were just sharing it.

What confused the women most was our relationship. They could see that we were together and they could tell that I was transgendered but they couldn't tell if we were in a relationship or what. However, on some level, they acknowledged me as female - which lent my friend a small reputation of trustworthiness and sexual attractiveness. Of course, it helps that I'm about the same size as Claudia Schiffer with legs like Cindy Crawford. I don't flatter myself too much though because I think they're much better looking. But women disagree. Having slightly masculine features makes me look more attractive to women - and that just made my friend look like a bigger catch.

We were astounded. It shouldn't work but it does.
