How to meet women

Improve your odds of hooking up with a great-looking girl with these tips.

You Will Need
* Women-friendly hangouts
* Altruism
* A good spot
* An online dating profile
* A good suit
* A 5 o'clock shadow
* Confidence

Step 1
Hang out where the girls are: farmer’s markets, bookshops, yoga classes, dance lessons, or concerts featuring romantic crooners or solo female artists.

Step 2
When you spot a woman you want to impress, do something noble. Women find do-gooders more exciting than daredevils, according to one study.

Step 3
Know the best place to stand to attract the opposite sex: the center of the room at a party, and at the corner of the bar in a club.

Don’t hug the wall or sit down; it makes you unapproachable.

Step 4
Do sign up for a dating web site, but don’t make any of the top four mistakes guys make on their profile page: Including pictures of ex-girlfriends; posting revealing pictures of themselves; using out-of-date photos; and featuring their own poetry.

Step 5
At speed dating events, don’t boast about yourself. Ask questions and talk about travel. It will increase your chances of being picked for a date.

Step 6
Invest in a good suit. Women love a man in a well-cut suit. Especially if he has a hint of 5 o’clock shadow.

Get into shape, but don’t bulk up too much; women surveyed found “toned” men more attractive than “brawny” ones.

Step 7
Be confident, even if you have to fake it. Women can smell fear a block away, and it’s definitely not a turn-on.

Step 8
When you see someone you want to meet, take a chance and say hello. That and a smile works better on women than any cheesy pickup line.

Fact: Chicago was rated the best city for men to meet women, according to an online men’s magazine.
