Men’s Fitness magazine has been slammed after publishing a guide on how men can turn a “no” into a “yes” when trying to pick up women.
The article was written under the guise of providing dating tips for men by self-styled ‘dating and attraction expert’ Nick Savoy, who apparently sees nothing wrong with telling men that receiving a “no” can still be a green light.
Savoy isolates four broad locations where a “no” can become a “yes”: the bar, the bedroom, on a date and in a relationship. Basically, everywhere you could find yourself when spending time with a man you’re dating.
Savoy writes that if a woman isn’t “into you”, you can try a few different approaches such as:
- “Plow ahead anyway.”
- “Deal with it the same way you would any other test – heighten it to absurdity and make a joke of it.”
He says that one of his clients who approached a “Victoria Secret’s Model” remained persistent after she kept “brushing him off” until she finally relented and was “picked up”.

I actually made a formal complaint on their FB page last week when there was a meme up basically saying that when a woman says no, she might be anything from no to maybe to yes, depending on where she is at in her monthly cycle. No surprises, FB said it was fine, the page kept it up and they didn't respond to the email that I sent them.
I've come to realise that 90% of their FB page is about sex. It sure as heck ain't about health. Very tacky.
Women's magazines publish articles like this all the time. So it's ok as long as it's women not taking no for an answer. As a woman i am offended by the double standard.
I am a 36yo woman and I've never read an article like that in print or online in all my years. I find your statement very hard to believe. Please provide a number of recent examples. Thanks.
