With Zach and Adam before hitting up the Pickle Barrel, where I got pickled.Could you hand me the ibuprofen? Because I am seriously sore in weird places (e.g. my hip flexors, you perverts) after a weekend of snowboarding in Vermont. I had an awesome time - the scenery was unreal, I made significant progress on my technique and - most importantly - I got to spend a lot of quality time with some of my closest friends. I've never done a ski vacation and was surprised at how much partying goes down. On Saturday night we went to a bar called the Pickle Barrel that was as crazy as the liveliest club in NYC. Pretty much everyone was looking for a late-nite hot tub buddy and weren't shy about it. At one point I took a break from the action to observe my male brethren in action. I was watching a pack of unfortunately-attired muscleheads pounce on a pack of unsuspecting ski bunnies when it hit me like a brick of Cabot cheddar - all guys fall into four categories when it comes to picking up women:
Kamikaze Guy - He lives by the One-In-Ten Rule: if I hit on ten women, odds are at least one of them is on the rebound, depressed about her best friend's surprise engagement or simply looking to make a mistake. I'm too scared of rejection to be this guy, but I respect his tenacity.
Do you know the 7 things men say when they're just…about…to…
Sneaky Guy - He's hitting on you but doesn't want you to know it. Instead of asking for your name or inviting you to dance, he'll complain about how long the bartender is taking and hope you'll take the bait. I pull this move on occasion, but usually if I'm interested I'll just introduce myself.
Passive Guy - He's either shy or confident that he's so damn sexy you'll hit on him. Sometimes this guy is me - on account of shyness, not self-confidence - but after a few drinks I become more assertive. Check out these 8 tips to get him to notice you in 10 days!
Scavenger Guy - He opens up shop right around closing time, preying on girls who have had a little (or a lot) too much to drink. These guys suck.
Am I missing a type? Do you have a good story about any of these guys?
