Did you get her a mum for the game?

Of course. But I didn't know I needed one until I saw everyone else with one. But they sold those things everywhere so it didn't take long for me to get one.

---

There were different conditions for just accepting a date to the game. Girls had to think about kissing the guy after a score. So a few bucks for a mum and a couple of cokes seemed a fair trade.

Same calculation went into asking a girl to Midnight Yell.

"Do you have a date to Yell?" = "Do you want to make out with me at a specific time tomorrow?"

LOL, that one I knew about. And she did to, though I don't know if she knew it when some rando came up and asked her to the game without even introducing himself.

I failed that one. Didn't ask here to midnight yell. Never entered my mind at the time. I knew the band participated but didn't realize what it was. I missed out on that one.

Well, date to Yell AND the game warranted a double mum and some beers at the Chicken afterwards.

My fish year in the band, we fish were "advised" that it would be beneficial for us to have a date. Great. Few days before the game.

So, my genius plan was to go to the MSC and start asking random girls if they would go on a date with me. Said I'd get them a ticket, they would have great seats in the band, and if she wanted I'd also take her out after the game for a bite/drink, (night game). So, time is of the essence here. Was looking for a nice looking girl that looked like a fish.

And yes, I was prepared to be told no alot. No hurt feelings here. And, if I got slapped a few times, fine. I needed a date in a few days for an event that everyone knew was happening for quite some time.

So, I saw a girl and walked up and gave her my speech. She said yes. My shaved head and all.

After she said yes, she asked me what my name was. LOL, forgot introduction in my speech (fish are stupid).

My introduction to college. Random girl in a random place, bam. And, she wasn't some dog. Not a 10 but certainly a 7-8.

Dating and sales have a lot in common. Back when my son was in cub scouts, we got permission from a food trailer court to set up a table and sell popcorn. Few people came by the table, and my son didn't want to leave the table.

So I bribed him.

I told him to go walk up to some of the tables and ask them if they would support scouts by buying popcorn. I told him that if five people said NO I would get him a Happy Meal at McDonalds. He never got to five NOs, but he sold about $100 worth of popcorn.

Once you get over the hump of knowing there is no shame in being turned down, it gets a lot easier.

---

Exactly. No is just a word.

Today, it seems chicks get offended if someone out of their league even approached them. Seen it on Youtube quite often. If I were single and saw some chick melting down over a guy approaching them, I'd go up to them just for the entertainment value of watching them melt down.

---

That fear of rejection many possess works in the favor of those who are not afraid to hear someone say no to them. I'm an average looking guy, but I consistently date 9s, way out of my league. Most common reason given why they're single is people are too intimidated to talk to them. If you see a drop dead gorgeous woman in a bar or club, the majority of people hitting on her are creeps, because they're not self-conscious about being a creep, and everyone else is too scared to be told no.

What are guys asking them? In a bar, just ask to buy them a drink. Same for a club. Drink first then ask them to dance after the drink while making small talk. Who knows? She might be a complete airhead and the guy loses interest. Less commitment than an immediate dance unless she brings it up.

I am grateful to not have to look for dates.

Met my wife at the Chicken. Married in 1988. 37 years and several children later things are still great.

Meeting her was easy. I was the manager and I hired her to work in the kitchen. I was, however, meek, shy, humble, and timid. It took a little bit of time for me to muster the courage to ask her on a date. Glad I did.

I knew a Cowboy that would ask just about every girl at Harry's to dance and he got shot down 90% of the time. When we asked him why he said " if you turn over every single stone sooner or later your gonna find a crawdad."

Anyone want some unsolicited advice?:

Do not date/marry a girl in law school/lawyer who grew up wealthy, went to private high school, and especially if she went to SMU for undergrad. Not that all female lawyers are bad, but whatever their "crazy" score is on the hot/crazy matrix, law school adds at least one point to the crazy score. (sorry Hawg, but it's true.)

Do not date/marry a girl based on looks/career potential and just think that "minor" character flaws will get better over time. They get worse.

If a girl you date has no idea whatsoever how to do laundry (like at all), run for the hills. She's had people do it for her all her life and she will never learn to do it.

Do not date/marry a woman who is super jealous and controlling.

Let me correct this one. Walking across campus from the Chicken to Yell Practice at 11:30 on Friday night:

"Do you want to make out with me at a specific time tomorrow in about 45 minutes?"

Aggie engineer Dad who instilled the value of a dollar. He was not from a very poor family but he had to get a student loan to attend A&M whereas both of his older brothers went to A&M on their parents dime. He was soo keen to not being in debt, he made my Mom wait for nearly two years after he graduated and paid off his loan before they could get married.

I never dated any frat guys because having money to show off was not impressive to me. Just the way I was raised.

Not completely sure but think it had to do with his parents having a change in their financial situation between when his older brother went (ten years before) and the middle brother was 8 years before. It was also wartime.

Dad's first day at A&M was June 6, 1944. he was on the drill field with his unit in sweltering heat when a guy came through asking if anyone could play an instrument and that the FTAB drilled in the early morning hours when it was cooler. He could play trumpet and signed up on the spot.

I met my wife on Match.com. Why is that "sad?" You can screen out the incompatible ones and not even bother dating them.

I am 6'3" and, to tell you the truth, chicks dig me. Any of you guys struggling to find someone online, hit me up, I can provide a wealth of information. Just don't overthink it. Odds are it isn't going to work anyway.

OK. Got it.

But, how tall are you without these?

Thankfully I have been married for almost twenty years. When I want to attract my mate I need only make some type of general repair to our house, that's what really drives her wild.

I take note of the things that break and her annoyance level and spend plenty of prep time describing how difficult the repair will be in order to maximize the kudos.

One example, the French doors leading into the master bath wouldn't stay shut they kept popping open which annoys her particularly when showering. I of course had no issue with it as it allowed me to peek over and watch her shower while I remained in bed but it was really bothering her so eventually I took a look. The doors were secured with a weird spring and ball bearing latch that I had never seen before and the ball bearings were missing and only the springs sticking out. I described to her in detail the difficulty of such a project and then spent three minutes on Google identifying the type of latch then did an Amazon search finding replacement parts for $4.68 each and placed my order. When parts arrived next day I took my tool box and ladder upstairs then laid on the bed and watched an episode of The Son on AMC and then spent about 2 minutes popping in the new latches. Called her up to show her my handiwork and accepted the rewards.

So glad the single dating life is in my rear view.

It definitely makes the incompatibility easy.


Females:

Short, fat, ugly, etc but funny, smart = incompatible, eww don't talk to me you creep, I hate how all men harass me and don't leave me alone, where are the good guys at?!?!

Rich or tall/handsome (doesnt matter which), but I say that all I want is for him to make me laugh (which doesnt actually matter unless he meets the first requirement) = compatible!


Men:

Are you a woman? Yes = compatible!


Online ftw!

Ah that's nonsense. Maybe it's true for the shorts and fats, but the talls rich and handsome get to filter out the riff raff and find a bad *****. Online FTW indeed.
