Dear Male Readers,
Here is a word of advice: do not “holla,” under any circumstances. I don’t care if Kanye, Pharell, the Ying Yang Twins or “25 cent” does it. You’re not in a rap video and neither are the girls you “holla” at. Zero times out of 10 will a lady respond to that (unless of course, you are trying to attract Lo-Lo from the street corner). Time and time again have I seen you out in the city, trying to get the attention of women, shouting, “hey!” HEY is for horses. Seriously. Chances are you’re not going to wrangle a girl in off the streets. If you see a potential out and about, try making eye contact, if she looks at you try smiling. If she sticks around after that then she might think you’re cute. Then, and ONLY then do you approach her. At that point you can say “Hi.” If she smiles, you’re IN. If she looks up and turns away you probably don’t have a chance. Get over it.
Read very carefully. In fact, copy and paste this baby to your desktop: 1) a look can say a thousand words. If you’re out somewhere in the “scene,” you see a cute little thing and you’re unsure of what to say, then don’t say anything at all. And don’t linger around her like some creepy fungus that has nowhere to go. Do your own thing. If she likes you, she’ll remain in your vicinity. More often than not your gut will tell you if a girl is interested. Things like body language, eye contact, inquisitive responses – these are signals that she’s digging you. Remember: A look and a smile. Try it a few times, it builds suspense…and then make your way over. 2) Confidence is everything. Be true to yourself, always. Don’t try and be the suave guy if you’re a goofy guy. And don’t force yourself to be funny if you’re shy and reserved. We all have a thing for the strong-silent type as we do for the class clown. Be confident with who you are because it, and lack of, always exudes. 3) Wit and humor can go a long way. All girls adore a sincere guy who can make her smile. But there’s a fine line between funny and obnoxious. One way to refrain from the latter is not to get wasted. Stay composed and aware of the words that are coming out of your mouth. There’s nothing worse than a sloppy, drunk dude trying to kick game. And don't be too cocky; major turnoff.
Oh and one final, very important note: DON’T EVER touch a girl you don’t know. Please don’t try and grab her arm when she walks by. And don’t sneak up behind her on the dance floor either. A defense mechanism immediately triggers in females, which results in automatic failure on your part.
My experiences being single in New York City thus far have been mixed, but mostly positive. Since I’m not inclined to respond kindly to random guys just about anywhere at this point in my life, I’m always the observer. And what an amusing role it is.
Good luck gentlemen. May the force be with you.
