How to attract Females

This weekend I had the opportunity to catch up a diverse group of friends for lunch at Saravanaa Bhavan in New York City. Since it was a nice day we proceeded to the Boat House at Central Park to laze over alcohol. The conversation somehow drifted to dating and how to make a single guy more attractive, or in lay man's terms become a chick magnet.

This is list we came up with:

a. A child - preferably not yours. This shows paternal instinct. Make sure the kid calls you "Uncle" and not "Papa"
b. A dog - same reason as A but shows you can take care of a living being full time not part time. Guys avoid poodle type animals.
c. Mac Air - The artist/non mainstream career comes out with mac
d. iPhone - You like the finer things in life and this along with the Mac Air book shows you are not a bum
e. Books in your open bag - Should be of intellectual variety. Maxim/Playboy are magazines and not books and they show signs of desperation. No paper backs otherwise all points c and d come undone rapidly.
f. Shades - Not the RayBan (If you do not own a plane you should not be allowed to wear those) and not the $5 pair you bought at 7-11. Get yourself a decent shade that shows your eyes but yet protects you from sun. If you are indoors casual have then on the table or hanging from your shirts. Never put them on top/behind your head/or dangling from a cord.

Pulling this off take a bit of planning.

Accessories:

Bag: Now take all these in smart messenger type bag which looks a bit of a worn and beat up look (need to show you are well travelled). Briefcases are for the wall street types and Backpacks are for adolescents.

Watch: Nothing made of gold or too much blink blink. Used car salesman look is not a great way to attract girls.

Clothes: Make sure to wear a something that is trendy and casual. There is fine line between that and being dressed for church. No cuff links !!! Shirt should be sightly crumbled and not tucked. Loafers are the best.

Place:

Brunch Places
Coffee Shops

If you find yourself in the suburbs it is then OK to go Starbucks. But if you are in a city and you go to Starbuck all I can do is shrug my shoulders.

Now I am not saying this will work or I have tried it. OK have tried it and it failed miserably. But go ahead give it a shot. What have you to loose other than $5000 at the minimum.

PS: I do not own a Mac book or an iPhone. I use a backpack. I have an iPOD. I tend to wear loafers/jeans/jacket when I got out.
