: Your Party Playbook
:
: The holiday party season is rife with
: opportunities to scorewhether youre
: playing it naughty or nice. Heres how to
: work the room and have a hot gal sliding
: down your chimney at nights end.
:
: Maxim, December 2002
:
: By Ellen Benson
:
: Ahh, December: Tis the season for holiday
: celebrationsthe chance to let loose, yak
: on the boss shoes, and hit on girls who
: are moved by the season (and spiked eggnog)
: to spread goodwill toward men. But how do
: you ensure that youll exit each soiree
: with a girl in your sleigh
or at least with
: a stocking full of legit phone numbers? By
: being yourselfsort of. Once you know how
: to play your natural wild card (humor,
: charm, chill factor), youll up your odds.
: So read on for your best shot at taking home
: a Christmas bonus.
:
: Player: The Funny Guy
: Strong suit: At parties most guys are trying
: so hard to act smooth that the funny guy is
: a refreshing change. In fact, we girls
: almost always list a sense of humor as one
: of the traits were looking for.
:
: How to play your hand: Make an impression by
: demonstrating your wit right off the bat.
: When you notice a girls drink is almost
: empty, go get two drinks, come back looking
: horrified, and say, Yikes, theres my
: A.A. counselorhold one of these for a
: minute, will ya? Another good trick: Tease
: her in a way thats flattering. If shes
: sipping a cosmopolitan, ask, Why do hot
: girls always drink pink drinks? Did you all
: have a meeting and make a rule? Shell
: giggle at your jokes while being charmed by
: your compliments. Translation: Shell be
: smiling while nudging you toward the
: mistletoe.
:
: But dont get trumped: Funny Guys pitfall
: is self-deprecating humor. Make an
: occasional crack at your own expense and
: youll appear more confident. But nonstop
: riffing on the real-life weaknesses of your
: job, your looks, and your social skills will
: have her laughing with pity
and pity is
: like an ice-cold shower on the flames of
: sexual attraction.
:
: Player: The Laid-Back Guy
: Strong suit: Youre naturally at ease with
: women, so you dont make us feel pressured.
: In other words, you have a way of sneaking
: in under our radarwere already picking
: our underwear up off your floor before
: weve even decided if youre just a
: platonic pal.
:
: How to play your hand: Youre not the type
: who should go for obvious pickup lines or
: awkward conversation starters (Hey, how
: bout that Middle East, huh?), so just
: ask her name and make a comment about the
: party or a mutual acquaintance. Casually
: pinpointing a common interest opens up the
: door for you two to hang out again.
: While the common route is to vaguely ask if
: you can call her sometime, a girl will
: be more excited to give you her digits if
: you offer her a specific good time. We know
: Lets go see that new play next Thursday
: at eight is never going to leave your
: mouth, so instead hook her with something
: simple but specific, like drinks this week
: at an offbeat bar.
:
: But dont get trumped: Your easygoing vibe
: puts you in danger of getting stuck on her
: just a friend list. If you dont set
: off a few sparks with a wink or a light hand
: on her forearm, she might try to set you up
: with her shy friendthe one wearing a
: snowman sweater she knit herself.
:
: Player: The Romantic Guy
: Strong suit: We love a romantic; you can
: deliver compliments sincerely enough to
: butter us up without setting off our
: bullshit detectors, and we assume youre
: the one materialeven if youre just
: the one for tonight.
:
: How to play your hand: Get in the door with
: a complimentbut make it an original,
: noncheesy one. If a girl has pretty eyes,
: shes heard it, oh, 10,000 times before, so
: focus on another asset (not her rack). Try
: something like, I finally tracked down
: that great laugh. (Only works if she
: doesnt sound like a hyena in heat.) Ask
: questions, light her cigarette, shield her
: from that spilled plate of crab saladthen
: step aside to give her a chance to wonder if
: youll be back. Return in 30 minutes for a
: second dose of charm or she might think you
: lost interest. If shes glad to see you
: again, you just might wind up getting a room
: at the Holiday Inn & Out.
:
: But dont get trumped: Dont come on too
: strong. Make the conversation too heavy
: (Id love to meet your family) or spew
: contrived lines (You look like a beautiful
: painting) and shell think youre either
: playing her or a stalker-in-the-making.
:
: Player: The Hot Guy
: Strong suit: Isnt it obvious? Only .001
: percent of guys fall into this category, but
: for those who do
:
: How to play your hand: Itll catch her off
: guard if you march right up and introduce
: yourself. Let her bust you glancing at her
: from across the room so shell anticipate
: your approach. Once you engage her, ask
: questions about her and respond with
: comments that show you relate. As an extra
: touch, accidentally spill a bit of your
: drink on your shirtshell be impressed
: that despite your looks, youre not fussy
: about your appearance. Then prepare for an
: unsilent night.
:
: But dont get trumped: We gals go on playa
: alert around a jaw-dropper, so if we suspect
: were just another conquest, you may get
: shot down. We also assume that hot guys are
: superficial, so before shes over your
: dimples and chiseled features, youll need
: to develop an actual personality.
:
: Player: The Guys Guy
: Strong suit: Believe it or not, your love of
: sports, beer, and hanging out with the boys
: is attractive to us. It broadcasts that you
: need a girl to take care of you, which is
: hard for us to resist.
:
: How to play your hand: Give her the eye as
: you school your buddies at darts or pool.
: Then tell your pal with a girlfriend that
: its time to play partners, and ask her to
: join you. When she says she doesnt know
: how to play, offer to show herwe all get a
: bit weak-kneed when a strong and confident
: guy wants to teach us something. Revealing
: youre not as macho as you seemsay, by
: asking her opinion on what would make a good
: gift for a bossseals the deal. By the end
: of the party, you just might get into her
: Christmas stockings.
:
: But dont get trumped: Do not, repeat, do
: not treat her like one of the guys. Telling
: that great bestiality joke or suggesting a
: shot from the barmaids cleavage will
: convince her youre a brute whos got no
: clue how to treat a girl. Which means Santa
: wont be the only one not stopping by your
: place this holiday season.
