Here's Feynman's account:

  On the way to the bar I was working up nerve to try the
  master’s lesson on an ordinary girl. After all, you don’t 
  feel so bad disrespecting a bar girl who’s trying to get 
  you to buy her drinks — but a nice, ordinary, Southern girl?

  We went into the bar, and before I sat down, I said, 
  “Listen, before I buy you a drink, I want to know one 
  thing: Will you sleep with me tonight?”

  “Yes.”

  So it worked even with an ordinary girl! But no matter how 
  effective the lesson was, I never really used it after 
  that. I didn’t enjoy doing it that way. But it was 
  interesting to know that things worked much differently 
  from how I was brought up.
