Default almost UNBELIEVABLE but still possible headlines


"Attract And Sleep With TWO Women By The End Of The Week!"




So I came across this headline, while I know it's not impossible, I'd really appreciate feedback from the more experienced copywriters on this BOLD as heck headline.

What are your thoughts about these almost unbelievable headlines? I'd really like to know because while it's still possible it's more than likely not going to happen.

It is a great headline but your subhead better qualify it or back it up or you'll lose them. I'm doing one similar right now.

Well the thing that really gets me is the product is over 200 pages. How the heck is someone supposed to read, reread, practice and get laid by two females by the end of the week. I'm just wondering what kind of buyers remorse this might trigger.

Hey Ross,

It's perfectly possible, if you are dealing with 1 out of 10 quality women.

The headline doesn't mention this, so it's wide open to interpretation.

All the best,
Ewen

I think this headline would be much more believable ...

"Who Else Wants To Sleep With TWO Women
In The Next 72 Hours... Without Taking A Bath,
Combing Your Hair, Or Brushing Your Teeth?"

LOL

Two hundred whole pages? That's a deal breaker, alright.

It saddens me that this niche actually exists. The only way that headline will work is for it to include a flight to a brothel.

LOL, it doesn't say you can't pay for it.

Hookers are legal in this country... not sure about elsewhere.

Having said that... we all know jumping into bed with a girl you've just met is pretty easy...

...so long as you're willing to be flexible in your standards.

Three secrets:

1. Pick someone who is really drunk
2. Lie a lot
3. Compliment her a lot

You do this on someone who's needy and insecure you're bound to hit the jackpot.

So to me... hardly a bold promise.

Now if it's two women AT ONCE... that's a little more difficult.

@Ken: Agreed. It's sad people think this kind of shallow relationship is actually enjoyable... or maybe I'm just not as manly as I should be :P

Honestly, it's not all that ballsy really, considering the niche I mean. I wrote one just last week that's converting like nuts:

"I cracked the "female language code" for online dating. Now I'm getting laid and you're not."

A good smack in the ego is like Megan Fox dipped in fondue sauce when it comes to the men's dating/seduction niche. You almost can't overdo it.

If you are married and have a girlfriend on the side, it should not be a problem at all.

Alex, I hope that I'm not breaking any copywriting laws here, but I confess I printed out your headline and put it on the board next to my computer. I'll make me laugh for the next three incarnations
