Pulling Power - A "How-To..." Guide
OMG! How gutted am I?! I just typed out some whole essay, and with the press of a button it all just disappeared!! Hmph... Me and technology just don't go....
So yeah... I was saying (Not that you remember what I was talking about!)... I just had my whole tiny lil non-existant love life ripped apart, analysed, and put back together with a bit of advice from a boy's perspective.... It appears the reason most girls who are out there looking are never approached because we're too formidable and scary....
So, my top 7 list of "how to pull".... (Well, not mine, but you know what I mean, my "agony uncle's" if you will - it's apparently what I should be doing to get some action, ahem....)
1. Don't wander round the club in a pack of girls... Stick with one other (or at absolute most 2) of your bumchums.... Boys get scared of approaching a pack of strange girls... I must agree there... We can get pretty harsh... Is it wrong that we've pointed and laughed at guys before - it's hard to resist when you see the typical Asian rude boy walk past - you know, with the spiky hair, the earring, the peg-leg walk/chicken bop, the Moschino pyjamas, with "seen" and "innit" literally pouring out of them (I see you laughing because you know what I mean!!)
2. Smile a lot... I never stop smiling, but sometimes, it becomes a giggle or a laugh, at them, not to them! Oops! (Remember #1. and you would too)
3. Make eye contact - See now, it's only ever the idiots that keep staring at you... The nice guys keep their eyes to themselves, and chill with the boys.... Our thought as girls has always been that the type of guy who tries it on with girls in clubs isn't the type of guy you could ever get serious with, because he'll always be looking for that type of action... Though there are always exceptions to the rule....
4. Move around the club - you become more accessible... Accessible? Like wtf, are we disabled toilets? Okay, fair enough, don't stay in your little corner (or circle - see 5. lol), but it works both ways, let the guy do some chasing! And I can't see how wandering around will do anything for you other than make guys think you're almost waiting for someone to hit on you, i.e. filled with desperation....
5. Dance with other guys, not in a circle with your girlies.... This one cracked me up! Because it's so truuuue! All the Asian girls dance in a lil circle (with the purses in the middle if the floor is clean), and (I must admit, I've done this) use the circle as a barrier to push out unwanted guys, with a full 360 vision so the girl opposite can keep an eye behind you for the idiot that tries to dance with you without you even knowing they're there! (Yup, you know you've seen it done!) But then apparently, the nice guy that likes you is pushed away by the "circle of trust", so this is a big don't. Ooh, and if you're with guys it makes you seem more approachable, so he says.
6. Don't be shy, it can come across as arrogance. See now this isn't just in guys' imagination.... I mean, I'm not arrogant (or I'd like to think I'm not, and no offence to any of my friends, who I don't think are either), but you can see who the arrogant ones are in a club... And yeah, they're pretty, so yeah, guys go up to them, but they have loads of attitude! And then the guy gets rebuffed and assumes all girls are b*tches.... But why do the guys always pick out the most up-herself girl in the club? Surely there's a limit to how much confidence is attractive?
7. Don't be fooled by the rude boy look... It doesn't necessarily make a guy an idiot... Apparently, most of them are idiots (reassuring!), but the odd specimen here or there is actually decent. Apparently, the guy has no choice or he'd stand out too much at "Asian Invasion"-type nights.... For all you know, he's a complete geek normally! (says the boy buddy with the advice - I'm not so sure about this one).
So, fascinating as this was, I think I'm gonna stick with my nights in, curled up with a good book and a hot water bottle or something.... But hope this brings you luck next time you're out! And while I laughed at him, there are some good points here, so don't mind my 2 cents (I'm planning on ending up old, bitter and alone except for my cats, lol!).
Good night, and fare thee well.

rebuttals on said comments.
2 - i disagree, too much smiling can be negative. more like eye contact and a brief smile is better than just a wide grin, which is just ha-right-whatever.
4 - no girl is accessible with the circle. ever. moving round is also pointless. the trick is to open up yourself within the circle, maybe do a 180 for a song?
5-other guys make it more approachable. but not that much more. circles are just bad. and especially at crowded clubs, they take up too much space which could be used for other ppl to make it onto the floor.
7-a guy who dresses like an idiot is an idiot for that night. there is def a non-idiot way to dress at asian invasion night.
2 and 2 to make 5 cents worth of ideas. wahey.
