The Art of Wooing
I'm just curious, for all the lovely ladies reading this (how YOU doin'?), what exactly would it take for a guy to pick you up? I mean, starting from scratch, what could a guy do to make a girl find him more attractive, short of wearing ridiculous amounts of cologne and working out (yeah right)?
On the flip side, guys? Things that you look for when you meet a girl?
My short list of things that aren't obvious (eyes, smile, breasts, etc.) is:
- sense of humor (which is also pretty obvious)
- sense of humor resembling mine (not as easy to find)
- sympathetic towards others
- liberal minded
- no high maintenance
That's not too hard to find, I guess.

Similar sense of humor is key. If a guy can't make me laugh, it'll never work. I also think it's important to be nice without being creepy. Some guys come on too strong and start touching you and stuff waaay before it's appropriate and that's just gross. So basically, be friendly, try to find common things to talk about and don't be a molester.
Oh, and if alcohol is involved in the wooing of a woman - just keep in mind that you're not as cool as you think you are. ;c)

Steve, I think I know what you are getting at here, and yes I will go out with you, but I will have to ask my girlfriend if it is ok.
By the way, Kathleen and Brad are getting married!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm pretty shallow, so I'm going to have to go with "hot glasses and a skateboard." Also, if you say seemingly deep, but actually vacuous expressions like, "emotion is dead," I like that as well. My first boyfriend told me my eyes were like the ocean. Considering my eyes are brown, and last time I checked, the ocean was blue to blue-green, maybe brown on a really dirty day or near the bottom or something, but that statement led to a full two week relationship in the 9th grade. What can I say, I'm a chump. Those are my prerequisites. That's it. If you work for the Daily Show also, that seems to help. If you work for the Daily Show and have hot glasses and a skateboard, I'm probably stalking you.

I like a well-endowed mute, but I have yet to meet one, so.
If a guy can make me laugh without trying, if he reads, and if he knows how to party (i.e., is still standing when I am not), then I'll overlook pretty much anything else. That last one is partially an attraction thing, and partially a survival technique; somebody's gotta carry me home if need be. I also have little weaknesses for tattoos, white T-shirts, and guys who take their coffee black. And don't touch my neck unless you want me to marry you.
But if you're looking for applicable advice, I wouldn't go by me. I would read Laura's post instead.

Hey Couch, I went to the Daily Show TWICE.
Also, here's my list of things I'm looking for in a girl:
1. 100 pounds of steel.
2. A gigantasaurus rex of fun.
3. Last name also a piece of furniture.
Anyone have any leads?

Say "Dan," you sound hot. Can we meet? I recently broke off a relationship with this bimbo whose name rhymes with "harly," but that's in the past. In the future, all I see is you + me.

Hey Steve,
My name is on Bill's comment, I feel like a celebrity! That list sounds reasonable but just remember a low maintenance girl will look low maintenance....that can possibly include sweatpants with holes in them, oversized t-shirts, lack of shower taking, lack of leg and underarm shaving...but hey some liberally minded women don't shave! rock on ladies, don't be slaves to your razors!
OK that's it, this is my first time making a comment on one of these journals so I feel the need for closure. Good bye.

Kathleen! I feel honored to have a celebrity such as yourself commenting on my website. Check out the other sites I link to, quite a few of them are fellow N+I'ers.
