I think one of the most overlooked tips in the handbook to getting guys is…

have beer in your fridge.

its a simple and sometimes crucial dealmaker/breaker when it comes to courting males. It doesn’t take much, a couple extra bucks and time spend in the beer isle, and it could mean the difference between sitting on your couch laughing with a cute guy, or sitting on your couch choking on a bag of cookies and your own tears. Beer in your fridge is like a really good skirt, it just acts as extra incentive for a guy if he was originally on the fence about you. Its good insurance, so dont be reckless,… get insurance.

I personally dont think it really matters what sort of beer. As long as its beer,…and not wine. I know ladies, we love the wine, it makes us feel fancy,… but a large pink box of alcoholic grape juice with a name he can barely pronounce, can be kinda threatening to a dudes masculinity. But again, not really important what kinda beer. I usually go with Newcastle Brown Ale cuz my older brothers practically breast fed me on the stuff when I got out of high school.

Also, placement within the fridge is important. Usually top shelf is what you wanna go with. Don’t make him dig through pull-out drawers and find something he doesn’t wanna see…(“Is that a nuva ring?!”)

So ladies, if you are having a hard time getting a male to come over, just pick up a six pack. Seriously. I know it will look odd next to your soy milk and pomegranite seeds, but it will pay for itself in the end. And Im not asking you to have a super bowl party-prepped fridge with coors light, salsa, some cold cuts and gatorade…a girl who has that is usually too good to be true… (sociopath.) Just get yourself some booze in that fridge to act as your wingwoman after the bars close and you’re left with not many other choices besides your place, or a friendly trip to dennys for after hours grand slam.

and everybody regrets that 3 am grand slam. It will not only put you in the friend zone, but the-shits-the-next-day-at-work zone.
