hahaha...there is a little more to it than that playa.
But that is a good place to start. Picking up HB in my opinion is a two fold process. First, you must place emphasis on yourself, like you said Playa. You need to emphasize your attractive qualities and improve your pitfalls. THEN, you need to work on your target, or the girl you hope to attract. You need to stir up all of her little crazy emotions and mold them to your liking.
This is why I love being a guy! By virtue of being a guy I am grounded in logic and reality. Therefore, I can learn to make a woman, who is grounded in emotion, go crazy over me while still remaining grounded myself! Remember guys we have the advantage in this dynamic. All of the women just don't want us to know it!
