Gents if you need a confidence boost, go out on the pull in Texas.

I have family there and every time I visited before I was married it was so easy to pick up Texas women.

They loved my accent - “you sound like Loki”. And they must be used to being treated like cattle, because if you ask them a couple of questions and listen briefly to the answers, they will remark how amazing your manners are. Within a short while she’ll be taking your boxers off with her teeth and soon after you’ll going like a barn door in a storm.

There are two downsides however, firstly while the women will love you, the men will hate you on sight and they all have bigger weapons spending than the defence budget of an African nation.

The second is that according to the US department of statistics, 1 in every 5 American females from the age of 14 upwards (yes I kid you not) has some variation of STI. So afterwards you may need to give your John Thomas a good old scrub with bleach.
