Man meeting Monday... Sorry again for the nonsense, as I missed last week, but have since ironed out the technical difficulties. Now on to our topic...
I have spent a lot of time lately in bars (just people watching I swear...) watching the social interactions between people, and I've noticed a few things that I wanna share with you all. There are ways to go about interacting with the fairer sex. So for the youngsters out there I'm going to tell you what NOT to do.
1. Don't stare. An over abundance of eye contact hurts more than it helps. And don't mistake her multiple glances as her being interested. What she is really doing is trying figure out why the creepy guy is looking at her still.
2. No rear access. If you see a young attractive girl dancing and want to join in, don't approach her from behind. For some strange reason, girls don't like being pounced on like an antelope on the African plains. Do yourself a favor and either approach from the front, or tap her on the shoulder.
3. Move fast. My gang has a saying, "If you're winning, then we're winning." Basically what it means is that in a group there is usually one to two attractive girls surrounded by several shields (aka unattractive friends). As your wingman, we will occupy the the shields allowing you space to move in and line her in your sights. But you gotta pull the trigger once you get that green tone, as no guy wants to hear her talk about her job. Especially if she is the the shield.
4. Be flexible. There may come a time where you called dibs on the hottie, but she is clearly interested in your friend. So you immediately have to switch gears and chat up the nottie. It's a difficult transition to be sure... But if you can master it, it will benefit you in the long run.
5. Don't linger. This is the most important. If things don't go well and you all end up striking out, its quite alright. Do yourself a favor, and leave immediately. Don't hang out hoping she will change her mind, because she won't. So camping out like you're waiting for star wars tickets to go on sale, is definitely a bad idea. Because not only is she getting creeped out, every other girl in the bar is watching you either getting creeped out or laughing at you. So just thank her for the time and excuse yourself. But as you walk away don't be discouraged. Even Barry Bonds didn't hit a home run every time.
Sorry for the length, but you should know I left a few out. If you would like to add anything, please shoot me a comment.
6. Get yourself a good perch. Hunters spend hours searching out and preparing a good perch. Although standing in a walkway may seem like a good idea as a result of the occasional "brush in" by the hotties as they walk by going to and from the bar, in the long run you end up just getting a bunch of AMF's and Long Island Iced Teas spilled on you. Hoping for that brush in doesn't always pan out because most hotties don't buy their own drinks, a beef that I have to pick with my fellow gender a little later.
ReplyDeleteI like to pick a spot, and there's always a couple of these available, that's close to the dance floor and has a good view of the door. This is like McDonald's real estate, for the investment savvy, and gives you access to the girls dancing for you on the dance floor while maintaing first sight opportunities for new prospects walking through the door without being creepy.
