Wednesday night dilemma

Jeez, it's hard to keep up with this thing now a days. Sorry bout that to anyone who actually check my blog in hopes of seeing some story of applebee's lusting and whatnot. For this long overdue installment, I hope to answer a question that has plagued many for some time. The issue I mention is why guys call multiple girls on the same night. It may seem obvious to most guys, but I figure it is worth dissecting to give some logic behind the madness.
  1. In a night where potential is unlimited (bars, girls, nothing to do the next day) you want to have as good of a time as possible, cause these days are numbered.
  2. Finding a new girl at the bar is always great, but remains a gamble. This is all economics.
  3. Calling up girls that you know you are attracted to and vice-versa reduces the search time for a newbie.
  4. Since most girls that are on this "list" of single and interested are not always free to go out whenever and may have other plans, you must call an appropriate number to get one to come out.
  5. IMPORTANT: If there is a girl that you know will come out, why not just call her? The answer is the same reason you don't want to be in a relationship in the first place with her, you want more. Hitting the bars isn't just about hooking up, it's about hooking up with the one you want.
  6. Girls are thinking the same thing, they have options thrown at them left and right, if you get picked, you're doing something right.
  7. In the event that multiple girls decide they're up for hanging out you have a few options
    1. (less preferred) Keep one and tell the others that you changed your mind, have to get up early, feeling sick.
    2. (preferred) Let them all come to the same place, meet each other, get jealous, and sort out who deserves the most attention. Remember they chose you to hang out with, so you have to acknownledge this and make them feel welcome among your other friends.
  8. What is the magic number? If your plans to go out are set early in the day, it's best to start with your priority as early as possible, say 2-3 ish, or even the day before. Wait a few hours before you go to your number two, cause you are waiting for a response from number 1. If you haven't heard back by seven, you should be looking at both 3 and 4. These two are basically interchangeable and would probably hook up with each other anyways if everything went right. After 4, you are hitting your C list, and these are usually the ones you call after you go to the bar and are getting a little drunk.
  9. Four is the magic number, but as noted in #8, timing is important.
  10. What about the idea of ruining what chances you had with say number 1 by having two other girls show up along with her? The answer to this question is simply: if you have a list of four, then number one is a "flavor of the week" to use a nice metaphor. If you truly cared about the number one, then she would be the only one on your list, and this wouldn't apply to you. This list is chronological for the most part;
    1. #1 is either the new smokin' hot girl you met at a party last week, or the girl you've been working for the last two years.
    2. #2 is usually a girl that you have class or work with, and you are looking for that night when alcohol and other spirits may have a favorable effect.
    3. #3 is always that girl you dated once or twice and fooled around with everytime, but innocent around the edges. She isn't the best looking and your friends don't like her that much, but with your hookup stats, she's makes a great spot on your roster.
    4. #4 is nothing but innocent, she's at the bars just as much as you, if not more, and goes home with some foreign guy everytime. #3 and #4 are interchangeable because they are both great plays from the bench, but nothing you'll brag about in the post game press conference. Big difference in this one is that the #4 will always use a condom cause she's knows she's dirty, and the #3 will say she doesn't like them, even though she's probably dirtier (be careful).
In summary, knowing your magic number, the depth and strength and weaknesses of your roster will greatly improve your bar experiences. Now take me out back and slap me in the face.
