So here we are again, looking for a woman. It seems like the bar we tried last time didn’t work out so well, so you might as well go to that party with some friends and might just find someone there.

The nice thing about parties is that you already know a few people there and if not, they should all usually be within your age range. As far as atmosphere goes, I think house parties or just parties in general are a bit more relaxed then the local bar. Also if you’ve already been in the house before, then you’ll probably be used to the environment and should not feel out of place.

Back to looking for that woman… First off, this article is for the most part, going to deal with sparking a conversation with a woman. This might be quite easy for some guys, but for the rest of us, we don’t even know where to start.

You notice the girl in the corner, talking to a few friends, and she darts a glance over at you. She seems interested, but you have to make the first move- you have to start a conversation. But what do you say?

Well here are a few approaches:

A Friend

If you notice that a friend is nearby, you could walk over and start talking to that friend. This at least gets you within a few feet of her, and now you can easily lean over and say something. As opposed to making eye contact and walking directly towards her.

Clothing or Accessory

This might sound somewhat strange, but you can always start a conversation if you notice something unique that she is wearing. If you do this though, it is best to sound original or at least funny with your comment. Otherwise, just saying something general such as, “Nice striped shirt,” sounds a bit odd and might not even get her attention.

Some Connection

This is always a good approach if you don’t have anything else to say or are just drawing a blank. Basically all you do is walk over to her and act as though you know her from somewhere. Perhaps you do, and then again, maybe you don’t. The fact of the matter is that you are just trying to make conversation. Here is an example of this approach:

“Hey, aren’t you Jean’s friend- The one who works with her?”
You ask.

“Umm, No…”
She replies.

And so you reply, “Oh, well I’m _____. I’m just here with a few friends. What was your name again?”

And she will probably tell you her name. That is unless you do something creepy… But notice how you don’t just have to take “No” to end the conversation. You can immediately reply with your name and ask hers afterward. Then all you have to do is say something at least marginally interesting and you have yourself the start of a conversation.

You might find it funny how many women consider certain men acquaintances, “stalkers”.So in your efforts to avoid becoming the guy in the shower with a large knife, here are a few tips and tricks to becoming less creepy to our female counterparts:

Don’t be clingy.  It might be difficult if you really like a woman to avoid calling her every waking moment, but most women consider this a bit too much.  I have seen this destroy a relationship before it every gets started.  So before you pick up the phone again, try something to show her that you care…  Roses never hurt.

Don’t be jealous.  St. Augustine once said, “He that is not jealous is not in love,” but women in general see jealousy as a turn off.  If you just started dating a woman, and she is still interested in other men, then maybe you should do try a different approach.  That is to say, if you are going on a date every now and again, try doing something out of the ordinary to let her know that you really care.  Before you go on a testosterone driven rampage after the other guy, try to figure out what she is getting from him, that you don’t have or aren’t doing.

Don’t hide in bushes, or dark alley ways.  The best way to get that label again is to fit the part.  If you want a woman to think you are not a stalker, then you might want to avoid dark places where you can observe or grab any passerby.

Be yourself.  There is nothing more endearing then a man who can always be himself in any situation.  If you start off a relationship with the previous traits, why shouldn’t this woman expect the same from you in the future?  You may just be trying to show that you care, but maybe you are trying a bit too hard.

Here is the first in a series of posts to help you, a man, find a woman. Today we are going to look at meeting women in a bar…

So you find yourself at the local pub or bar looking again for your sole mate. There are in fact a couple of questions you should ask yourself when trying to pick up women in the bar:

• What type of woman is this?
• Why is she in this bar?
• Does she come here all the time?
• Will you answer these questions the same way after a few drinks?

Men and women undoubtedly go to the bar for a common reason- to drink in a social atmosphere. Perhaps your friend pulled you along, or you might have gone by free will. Keeping this in mind, you might want to figure out why the girl you have in mind is at this bar… Does she come here nightly? I’m not going to tell you how to think, but some guys might see that as a turn off.

Another thing to consider when meeting women in a bar is that whether or not you’d like to admit, your senses will be impaired by the alcohol. This is why meeting women in a bar is usually a bad idea. Yes, you may be able to engage in conversation fairly easily in a bar, but when you leave the bar, you have no idea what that person is really like.

In conclusion, it might be best to stick with sober women if you are looking for a lasting relationship.

Today as I was searching around the net for some interesting facts, I came across something I had never pondered before. According to an unconfirmed source, “85% of men don’t use the slit in their underwear.” Now this is odd to me, because I had almost forgotten entirely about the slit in my own underwear. It is like one of those cool features in a new car that you don’t notice for a month or two after buying it. When you actually do find it, you either feel like a complete idiot, or a genius.

This leads me to my next question, Why is the slit still there if nobody is using it?- An interesting question indeed. Perhaps the underwear companies leave the slit there so that you have an alternative to the way you piss.

With these words of wisdom in mind, you can take your next trip to the toilet with a choice. A choice that could very well determine how you live the rest of your life. A choice that fundamentally determines what type of man you are- a Slit-man, or and over-the-Top-man. You don’t’ have too much pressure, because you are the only one that really knows.
