Welcome to 2012 Gents!

I am the concierge to the stars in NYC! Well, not quite. Not remotely close actually.

However, I can give you some timely and sound advice for 2012.

1. Do not shop at neither Banana Republic nor J Crew

Every guy in the world owns the Banana Republic slim fit checkered shirt. Believe me your
prospective date will not be impressed. This will be a bad start. You may have noticed that I did
not even mention the ‘teen retailers: American Eagle, Hollister, Et al. Please do not go there. I
beg you.

2. Stay away from the Upper East Side

No NY woman wants to be wined & dined on the Upper East Side. Look Daniel is Tops, but
unless you are 50 it will not fly and where do you go after dinner? You are looking at $30 & 45
minutes to get down to civilization

3. Please Cut your Hair

Look even Tom Brady shed his locks. This is not the time to unearth you inner Beatle

4. Beef is Good

Beef not just on your plate but on your body. I know this is NYC, but girls are not into Waif guys.
Typically big & brawny dudes win. Girls want to be protected and a guy who cannot be seen
behind the pole in the front car of the 6 train is not the answer.

On the plate: Please guys, I love animals, I saw the documentary Food, Inc but order a goddamn
Porterhouse not the Soy burger. This is Turn Off number 1 for most girls.

5. Talk about Ideas

Stay away from any banter regarding other girls, boys, family, colleagues, etc. …. You will sound
like one of her friends not her new guy. Avoid like the plague any discussion of politics & places.
This can only go wrong. Nothing is better than ideas. Girls love creative guys. They see a future
with a guy who is prospective and has perspective.

6. Sit up Tall & wear boots

Sorry to all you short guys. But, even if the girl qualifies as a dwarf or a midget she still wants a
tall guy. Short guys lose. So if you are short or very short or even an Elf, as Buddy (Will Ferrell)

states adamantly to Miles in the movie Elf: “You are an Elf”. Sorry guys, you are what you are,
so where tall shoes and don’t slouch when eating dinner.

7. Listen

If you go through a date and only talk 20% of the time and smile and nod the other 80%, I can
guarantee two outcomes. You will either get laid or get a second date. Not bad odds, so shut up.

8. Please get a taxi

Subway is for going to work not for going out. If you opt out, you are out.

9. Clean your teeth

Probably the most important on the list and I should not even need to include this one. But, if your
daily intake includes a gallon of Starbucks and a ½ pack of Newports, head to the dentist before your
date

10. Look her in the eyes

If you are pulling a Stevie Wonder the entire night, you should just delete this girl from your eye
phone. But, sincerely gaze into her eyes you will be quickly climbing her favorites list on FB. Now,
don’t go Andrew Cunanan on her, just gentle gazes guys!

So, if you do all 10 of these, I guarantee a successful date year in 2012. To speak the truth even if
you outduel Mark Sanchez and complete on >55% you are on your way to surprising most girls and
even yourself.

Good luck in 2012 guys.
