God Bless Cosmopolitan Magazine. Hell-bent on helping the single gal land her man.

So I thought it’d be fun if I took the liberty to uh - amend - these rules to a Single Women Rule liking.
Go out in groups of at least six. Maybe sixteen. Larger groups of women may intimidate men and you want to make sure you weed out the weak yellow-bellied ones - so the more of your girls the merrier. You don’t want a guy who’s going to prey on you like an injured wilderbeast that’s fallen behind the herd. If he’s ballsy enough to brave the front-line, then you best believe he can handle Aunt Erma at Thanksgiving dinner.
Okay there was no number two on the version of the article I read, so here’s my own: Repeat number 1.
And Lord Be, if the guy across the room is too gorgeous you can’t look him in the eye, imagine what being with him on a regular basis would do for your self-esteem! Nothing says loving like a big ol’ cup of you’re-so-fine-why-are-you-with-me in the morning. (Not to mention the free pass you’ll give him for doing super ignoramus stuff just because you’re happy such a fine guy chose you. And don’t forget you never know if he’s lying because you can’t look him in the eye.)
But if you still gotta have him, you can fake it by focusing on the big zit right between his eyes. He won’t be able to tell the difference, unless of course, your eyes start to cross and you pass out.
Pretending to be positive only tricks him and yourself into thinking you’re someone you’re not.
At SWR, we want you to land a man, if that’s want you want, but we want you to get yourself right first. Yes, Griffin’s right: be positive and be genuine. But don’t do it to catch a man. Do it first for yourself.
Before long that natural positive energy will be all the man-magnet you need.

Griffin / Cosmo says:SWR Dating Tip #1:
“Dating tip #1: Go out in groups of no bigger than three.Larger groups of girls are supertough (read: intimidating) to approach. Three is a good number because your two friends can keep each other company when a guy walks up to chat with you.”

Griffin / Cosmo says:SWR Dating Tip #3: Snarl. Squint your eyes and utter a guttural growl. If he doesn’t yelp and run back to the cave, and you find his man-sight pleasing, lick your lips five times and clap once. Men like it when you act excited to see them.
“Dating tip #3: Smile genuinely. So obvious, right? But I can’t stress it enough — and I can’t believe I ever acted aloof in an attempt to seem more cool. Now I know that women smile all the time naturally (when we’re nervous, when we’re trying to be polite, etc.), so if you don’t do it at all, you look unapproachable.”
“Dating tip #4: Work the eye contact. To reel him in from across the room, tilt your chin down a bit and flash him a couple of sultry glances. (Guys love it when you look up at them — it makes them feel manly.) If the guy across the room is so gorgeous you have a hard time looking straight at him and are simply too nervous, fake it by focusing on the tiny area right between his eyes. He won’t be able to tell the difference.”SWR Dating Tip #4: Work the eye contact. To reel him in, stare him down with a wide-eyed what’d you say about my momma stare for at least five minutes. (The key is not to blink to get maximum eye contact.) Once you have his attention cover your eyes with your hands and play a coy game of peek-a-boo. (Guys love it when you play hard to get.)

“Dating tip #5: Don’t immediately ask him what he does. Some men think all women are gold diggers. A lot of my clients hated being asked what their job is. It’s that fear-of-being-used thing again.”SWR Dating Tip #5: Immediately ask him what he doesn’t do. Ramble off a list of things including drug dealer, pimp, white-collar criminal, pathological liar, and priest of Satan to get things started. He’ll get so tired of it, he’ll come out and say what he really does, then you don’t have to ask! For us, it’s that fear of dating the “music producer” who actually lives in his momma’s basement with a Casio keyboard and Sony tapedeck thing again. Yes, a tapedeck.
“Dating tip #6: Make positive small talk. Once I started studying other women, I couldn’t believe how negative some of us appear. When you’re out on the town, you’re supposed to be having fun, and any complaint (”It’s hot in here!”), pessimism (”There will definitely be another terrorist attack”), or snarky quip (”Look at that chick’s belt — so 2002!”) pretty much pokes a hole in the fun-girl aura you should be projecting. Some better small-talk topics: recent vacations, favorite bands, hilarious movies. You can hit him with your deep, dark world-view some other time.”Griffin’s got some merit to this one. No one wants to be around an ho-hum Eor (well, Eor did always have Pooh, but that’s not the point). If the negative talk is oozing out of you naturally that’s a problem! Following a rule to mentally edit is not going to solve the root issue: Why are you always blurting out the first negative thing? Why are you picking apart other women? Why are you pessimistic and stressed out?
