'We're totally irresistible to women - HONEST!'

 

THESE MEN ALL HAVE TWO THINGS IN COMMON – PHENOMENAL SUCCESS WITH WOMEN AND VERY LITTLE PHYSICAL RESEMBLANCE TO BRAD PITT. SO WHAT’S THE SECRET OF THEIR EXTRAORDINARY SEXUAL PROWESS? AND DO REAL WOMEN AGREE IN THE VIDEO VERDICT?

‘I laugh women into bed’

Comedian Nik Coppin, 35, from London
Notches on bedpost: 200+

I was a late starter with women and didn’t lose my virginity until around my 21st birthday. But since my comedy career took off in my mid-20s, it’s been a very different story.

When I’m onstage lots of women shout ‘Strip! Strip!’ at me, which can be distracting. The other day a woman told me that when she heard my first joke, she said to her friend: ‘I wouldn’t mind having sex with him.’

I’m not blind, I see my reflection in the mirror and I know it’s not my looks that are attracting all these women.

Lots of my mates are jealous and ask me how I do it. The truth is, if you make a woman laugh she lets her guard down and realises you’re worth listening to.

If you’re the funniest man in the room, you’re immediately top dog, and women find that very attractive.

One night recently, I did a charity bike ride and we all stayed in a hotel afterwards. I found myself in a situation where I was having a drink with one girl in a bar and was ‘entertaining’ another in a hotel room upstairs, and neither knew about the other.

I couldn’t believe my luck. In my head I’m still that 20-year-old virgin who can’t believe anyone would have sex with him.

Comedy festivals are notorious for bad behaviour and groupies. The sad thing is that sometimes I really like these girls, but they have no interest in taking it further.

I’m pegged as a ‘good time guy’ and that’s that. But I’d really like to meet someone special who can make me laugh too.

‘My geekiness makes me approachable’

Market researcher Will Goodhand, 28, from Epsom, Surrey

I got used to rejection from the girls at school who called me swot, boff, and geek. By the time I went to university I was confident socially, but sexually I couldn’t imagine who’d want me.

Everything changed in 2005, when I appeared on the TV show Beauty And The Geek, where a mate of mine was working on the production team.

Suddenly I was surrounded by glamour girls, and they actually liked me. I realised then that I had a certain charm, and the programme helped me find the confidence to put that to use.

From then on it was like living somebody else’s life. Girls in the street told me I was the sexiest geek in the world.

I even met Rebecca Loos at a party, who told me she was horny and winked at me. I wish I hadn’t been too dumbfounded to respond.

I now know women do go for geeks like me. I can still wear pastel knitwear, talk about my creative writing and be open about my interest in politics.

I used to think all these were huge turn-offs, but I’ve learned it’s more important to be confident in who you are than to be a bad version of someone else.

Russell Brand has said that lots of women find his campness attractive because it’s unthreatening. That’s exactly why I get away with so much.

I can stroke a girl’s hand or steer her on to the dance floor in a way that a rugby player would never manage to do.

Now I have the confidence, this is the perfect time to find Miss Right.

 

‘It's a power thing - I'm an alpha male’

Club DJ Rich Sloman, 36, from Woking, Surrey
Notches on bedpost: Around 150

When I walk past the club doorman with a model on my arm, I know he’s thinking: ‘Lucky guy! What’s his secret?’

Much as I’d like to believe these women love me for my looks or personality, my job is the only thing I can put it down to.

I used to wonder if there was a hidden camera somewhere when I pulled a woman way out of my league.

Now I accept that being a DJ is a huge draw. It’s a power thing – I’m the alpha male in the room, controlling their enjoyment that night.

Women’s eyes light up immediately when I tell them what I do, but it makes me laugh that all I’ve done to hook this gorgeous girl is mix a couple of tunes together.

Some nights the doorman says: ‘There’s four hen nights here tonight, you lucky thing.’ It’s accepted that if there’s a hen party in, there will be shenanigans.

Sometimes though I can’t be bothered with the attention. At Christmas I had the flu and just wanted to do the gig and go home, but there were endless drunken office workers accosting me.

I never did get that early night with my hot lemon drink.

Saying that, I love my job, and the fact that women love it too is an added benefit.

There’s definitely an element of shallowness in these girls, but for the moment I’m too busy enjoying this fantastic perk to moralise about it.

 

‘I pour women a glass of wine and listen’

Billy Joel tribute artist Graham Nash, 39, from Colchester, Essex
Notches on bedpost: "Hundreds"

As a boy I realised that if I could understand what girls were thinking, I’d get closer to them. So every time a girl was upset I’d listen and try to see things from a female point of view.

‘I feel like I’ve known you for ages’ are the words I hear most, and: ‘I don’t know why I’m telling you this.’ But I’m happy as a counsellor – it’s not an act.

I love chatting to a woman for hours, peeling back her layers to reveal the real person underneath.

Often beautiful women snub more attractive men and turn to me because I’ll pour them a glass of wine and listen.

One night in a hotel I got chatting to a woman who’d come down for some drinks. Five hours later her husband found us still talking.

When I’m at work I find ballads have a potent effect.

After one show, a woman turned up at my flat wearing an overcoat, stockings and suspenders. What did I do? I couldn’t hurt her feelings...

I have lots of female friends. I’ve been married and I’d love to do it again.

Do you find these four men irresistible? What attracts you to a man? Have you ever dated a guy who your friends thought wasn't good looking? So do you think looks are important in a relationship or is beauty only skin deep?
