"Balance out your collection with one CD, any CD, by Eminem and you have no idea how relieved he'll be. It shows you have an open mind and aren't easily offended—and that's music to any man's ears."

Yeah, cause all men like Eminem. whatever



yeah...it's good advice...be fake, basically. like, we know you don't like eminem, but have a cd in your collection and pretend to like him, so that guys will like you. great fucking advice.




it is great, because suppose said guy asks you about your love for Eminem, yet your CD is still shrink wrapped.

him. "i see you have an Eminem CD, what is your favorite song?"

her. " uhhhhhhhh...."

If he was hitting on me and being perfectly respectful, but I was not interested, I would kindly and honestly tell him that I'd love his friendship, but nothng more. I mean... if a grown man can't take that, there's somethng wrong.



You must be quite open and excepting to want to befriend someone you've never met. I don't know, perhaps I'm not a grown man, but I can't picture my mental responce being positive... and I have no idea what one should respond to that with. blackeyed



Well friends are always strangers before they become friends. Besides, whats the difference between going out for a drink with a stranger as just friends, and going out for a drink with a stranger as a date?

Would you prefer a girl lie and tell you sorry, but she's has a boyfriend? What if you overheard her later accepting a date with someone else? If a guy did that to me,. I'd feel like shit and be angry he didn't even have the decency to be honest with me.

That's pretty good of you to do, in my opinion. Do you make lots of lasting friends this way, and does it ever turn out that the guy agreed to be friends just to get closer and hit on you again later?

Hah, well maybe they're still interested, but I think I make it pretty obvious my mind's not changing, and if they'e still around they must want friendship too. smile I mean, I'm never going to be offended by someone hitting on me, so I guess he;s welcome to try again later surreal

But, then, I live in NYC.

Actually it's like something out of "Glamour"...

Amy Spencer writes relationship and lifestyle stories for Glamour, Maxim, Real Simple and other publications. She would like to thank her straight male friend for advising her on some of the essential items she was missing.



Heh. I bet the condom was the thing her straight male friend added to the list.

Man, if I see a girl with the Slim Shady LP, I'm going to be a little disturbed. "'97 Bonnie and Clyde" is not the kind I want a girlfriend of mine to be listening to.



a friend of mine (female) got eaten out for the first time to that, actually. and it was her cd.

I realize I haven't been single in a while, but if I was getting a girl's number, I wouldn't care how she was giving it to me. Pull out a card, write it on a napkin or a scrap of paper. Writing it on someone is kinda cheesy and then they have to not get wet, but I'll take it.

I have an idea. If you're going to write your number on someone, put it somewhere good. Write that shit on the small of his back. If he calls, you know he had to work for it.

You forgot :

5. Savings/investment account/ nest egg that nobody else knows about.

6. Credit card (preferably with good credit rating to match).

7. At least 1 good, true, honest female friend.

8. It helps to know (or know of) a good lawyer.

Ok ok, I'm too practical for this thread..sorry.

No. It's stupider.

Before I clicked on the link I was expecting to see things like "1. A cell phone. 2. Mace," and so forth. Granted, I'm paranoid, but at least that version would have been true.

This one... damn. My brain cells just committed mass suicide to escape the pain.



Hah! Yes!

1. A cell phone
2. Mace
3. Condoms
4. Contact info for Planned Parenthood and a lawyer
5. Friends... any friends are good
6. A job, that affords you your lifestyle and independance
7. A vibrator
8. Soap, tooth bursh, nail clippers, shampoo, somewhat clean clothes and sheets
9. At least one pursuit, outside of your job, that makes you happy
10. The ability to see through commercial bullshit that attempts to persuade you that you have to have a boyfriend, especially a dull, lumbering stereotype of a man, and that in order to get/hold on to/marry said creature, you must BUY BUY BUY and conform to a rigid and ugly stereotype of modern, "metropolitan" feminity.

Edited to add in a vibrator and a lawyer, because those are also excellent cards to have up your sleeve in times of need, that I hadn't thought of.
