Love Finds a Way

I'm thinking maybe I should have ran this post about "woman attraction systems" last week. It may have helped some hapless schmoe looking for a Valentine's Day date since most of these products are still on the market.

There's no doubt countless products out there to help the loveless, and one could probably devote a whole blog devoted to such materials.  Here's just a few of them...

How to Pick Up Girls! is a pretty famous 1970 book by Eric Weber.  As the 1980 ad below states it was even turned into a 1978 TV movie staring Desi Arnaz Jr..  But wait there's more, the sequel How to Pick Up Women is also available, and if you order both books 100 Best Opening Lines is yours free... 

Not good with the pick up? How about trying hypnosis, or something called S/A Hypnotism to be exact. Here's a 1980 ad (with a 1976 copyright) for book called The Easy Way to get Girls: Through S/A Hypnotism, and be sure to ask for your free "3-D Photo Book' of beautiful girls.  Personally I hope they are more beautiful than the model in the center of the ad.  That's one seriously unflattering shot...

If the "pickup" and hypnosis doesn't work there's always a love potion.  This love potion is "Europe's sexual breakthrough" and a cologne called "SUBMIT." It gets its mojo from"Pheromone Prime." The odd photo of the woman in this 1992 ad looks like she's trying to hide behind her own hair is curious.  I don't think properly conveys how this "SUPER STIMULANT" is supposed to work...

Here's a unique one, a cassette tape that seduces women.  It works through the use of subliminal messages, although obviously one must get a woman someplace to hear it first which may be easier said than done.  From 1992 it's the Mephisto Cassette...

Lastly is a little something from a 1990's Johnson Smith Company catalog.  First get back to the basics with How To Kiss With Confidence.  Going only from the photo, part of the "confidence" must come from kissing someone who looks like you.  Seriously, I thought that guy was kissing a mirror at first. Second is How To Pick-Up Beautiful Girls.  I think I'd buy this over How to Pick Up Girls!  you know, simply because of the "beautiful" part...

All this talk of attracting woman and love potions reminds me of a classic episode of  The Twilight Zone called The Chaser.  This same story was also done later on Tales From the Crypt, but the "Zone" did it the best with much better writing and acting.  I love the Professor A. Daemon character and his surreal library and "glove cleaner."

Just because I can, I've embedded entire episode below...
