4. Guys Who Read
Seriously, take your book with you on the bus or on the subway, read for a while, then look up: there will be a woman checking you out. Same for at the bar! If it’s a slow night, or you’re waiting for your friends to get there, bring your book and do some reading while you sip your drink. When you look up, a woman will be looking at you, wondering what you’re reading and how intellectual your conversations could be.
Smart is sexy, but pretension is not. Don’t take books you would never read with you to the bar (if you’re not a Whitman fan, you don’t want to get trapped into discussing Leaves of Grass all night), and don’t take a book that’s going to put you up on a high horse (if you know everything about Jack Kerouac ever, maybe take a book you’d be more willing to discuss).
