    Date like a dude

    WOMEN -- HOW TO DATE LIKE A MAN

    (Marie Claire)

    OWN THE ROOM: When you walk into a place, act like you know where the hell you're going, even if you don't. Everyone will wonder who you are and why you're there, but they'll never think you're useless and confused.
    EYE YOUR PREY: Got your eye on someone? Good. Don't shy away. Look him straight in the eye and think, "You should be attached to my lips by now, why aren't you?" Trust me, he'll read your thoughts like they're projected above your head on a widescreen.
    FAKE INTEREST: Look. No one cares about what anyone else has to say. They just don't. But what you have to do is pretend that you do. Ask about their life, their job, their parents, anything to keep them talking. Because the more fake interest you show in them, the easier it is to disarm them. Guys are used to talking about themselves, as are we all, but if you actually fake an interest, they kind of don't know what to do.
    TAKE CONTROL: You're at the bar, you're talking with him, it's been hours, and still nothing has happened. Do us all a favor. Kiss the idiot. For one thing, he's not going to not appreciate it. For another, if you don't do it, someone else will.
    SEX IS ALWAYS ON THE MENU: Do you want sex? Because men do. And that's pretty much all they want from you until they get to know you and your sense of humor and how you put on your shoes in that cute way that no one else does.
    NEVER EXCHANGE ALL YOUR INFORMATION: This is so incredibly important. Give him your name. Give him a fake cell number. In this age of the Internet, anyone can find you if they want to, but, that being said, it doesn't mean you should hand out your cell phone number to every last guy you happen to sleep with. Tell him what you do for a living, but don't tell him where you work.
    CALLING IS OPTIONAL: So you've had sex. Good for you! Guess what? You never have to talk to each other ever again if you don't want to. Know why? It's not required to talk after sex. If you had a good time but you don't want to date him, don't call him.


    Like they say, "what's good for the goose is also good for the gander."
