Date Like A Rock-Star–Even If You Aren’t One

Women love assholes. It’s a fact. Now, sling a guitar over that asshole’s shoulder, and the girls just come running–bras in hand.

Rock-stars get all of the chicks. Those once nerdy son-of-a-bitch marching band boys grow up, start bands, party their pants off, get treated like gods, and then they f*ck the girl you were planning to ask out. So what gives? What’s so attractive about a grungy dude who can’t commit, has a chip on his shoulder, and hardly any money in his wallet?

Let me break this totally illogical process down for you:

Rock stars might have a bunch of slimy qualities that should, if anything, drive the ladies away. But they also have a certain set of qualities that pulls the ladies in. Master these rock star traits, and not only will you get Tommy Lee-attention, but you’ll also have a good chance of keeping the girls you want around. After all, you’re not touring Europe for two months straight or trying to keep up with a girlfriend in each city any time soon, right? RIGHT.

1. Charisma
Musicians have charisma. Having charisma is their job as much as strumming a guitar. They’re always on stage, in the spotlight–and unlike (most) actors, musicians are constantly playing one role: their ‘cool’ selves. The best route to a charismatic you is to make eye-contact. Rock-stars learn to make eye contact with everyone–on-stage and off-stage. If you can really lock eyes with a girl, you’ll be further ahead than you think.

2. Confidence
You can’t play in front of tons of people in skinny jeans and a tight shirt without being confident in yourself. One might almost go as far as to say cocky. Sure, sure, many musicians are actually really insecure messes deep down, but that’s not what draws people toward them. What draws people toward them is their confidence–even if it is just an image. It’s an age-old rule of thumb, but if you can at least act like you’re comfortable in your own skin, you’ll be turning more heads than ever before.

3. Attitude
Musicians are notorious for their ‘I don’t give a f*ck’ attitudes…and a lot of girls who are attracted to them are so because of it. Spill beer all over your jeans? Who gives a sh*t–keep drinking. Someone “influential” or “important” is rude to you? Screw them. Stand up for yourself. Roll with the punches, and don’t let anyone push you around. Know your beliefs and know where you draw the line. Nothing’s more unattractive than a guy who does not know what he wants.

4. Fun
It’s simple, yet a lot of guys overlook this. Sure, girls like intimacy. However, that’s not all girls like. Contrary to what you might think, girls really do enjoy fun–and too many guys think that movie nights or dinners out cut it. I have news for them: THEY DON’T! Girls are going to get tired of your standard bullsh*t date. They’ll want to have some genuine fun. So…be spontaneous. Don’t always worry about money. Don’t always worry about how late it is. Do some things that are dangerous, here and there. Reclaim the passion for fun you had as a teenager–fail that, and the ladies will keep running off with Mr. Rock Star for nights of Jack Daniels and skinny-dipping.

5. Sensitivity–in moderation
Before you go assuming that rock stars are all arrogant one-night-stand kind of fun (yes, girls think one night stands are fun, too), think again. They have devoted their lives to an “art,” after all. A lot of guys in bands are more sensitive than you may think. The difference between musicians and most other guys out there is that the rock-stars know when–and how–to turn their sensitivity on-and off. It’s called being just enough of a dick. For example:

Girl: “Babe, I have no clue what to wear. I feel ugly. Wahhhhh…”

Rock-Star: “If I thought you were ugly, I wouldn’t sleep with you. Lets go.”

Nothing too strong, but it gets the point across: She needs to stop her bullsh*t.

However, they know when to be sweet:

Girl: “I’m stranded at the airport over night, my flight got delayed..and you’re 3 hours away.”

Rock-Star: “I’ll be there in 2 and a half hours.”

That’s the kind of nice that counts. These guys aren’t going to leave a girl hanging when she’s in serious need. However, they aren’t going to cater to her every whining request, either. And, believe it or not…girls love that.

You don’t have to actually be a rock-star to date like one–just take notes from these guys. After all, they hang with different chicks in different cities every night. Let their hard work and sleepless nights in vans do something for your love life…where sex can be had on a real bed, and the shower is readily available. (Girls love that sh*t, too.)
