1. Using your hairbrush/shampoo as a microphone: It’s great preparation for the inevitable event of your girlfriend dragging you to karaoke.
2. Practice smiling in a mirror: Practice makes perfect, instead of that weird smirk you usually do.
3. Drinking cocktails: Didn’t your mother ever tell you to try new things? We know they’re fruity and not manly, but they are delicious. You like candy, right? Stop trying to be a man with your whiskey and take a goddamn Cosmo once in awhile.
4. Asking for directions: Self-explanatory. We know you have built-in GPS in your brain, but we’ve been driving for two hours now and that patch of grass is starting to look familiar.
5. Taking photos when you go out: Stop relying on friends’ tagging you on Facebook to keep memories of awesome nights alive.
6. Going on that second date…just because: Look, we don’t always like you after that initial encounter either. But sometimes you just have to say hell with it, because you can’t always tell after one night if someone actually sucks, or was just really drunk when you met.
7. Learning how not to say no (sometimes): Chicks have a hard time telling nice guys off when they’re just not feeling it, or getting roped into favors for their friends because they don’t want to seem like a bitch. Try it sometimes.
8. Watching an episode of Real Housewives: Just give it one episode. You liked Jersey Shore didn’t you?
9. Getting a second (and third) opinion before you buy clothing: Preferably bring a girl along, because those are the people that are going to be judging you on your Ed Hardy shirt and baggy jeans.
10. Adopting a cat: I’ve known guys who swore they hated/were allergic to cats, and now spend all their time talking about their little Mr. Peepers. Truth is, it’s adorable.
11. Crying at the movies: What are you? A robot? We don’t date robots.
12. Learning how to accessorize: Hey, flip through a GQ once in awhile. If we figured out how to put together earrings, necklaces, and makeup, you can be bothered to learn when your tie clashes with your shirt.
13. Gossiping with your coworkers: Okay, not all the time, and not too much mean stuff. But it’s the best way to befriend the people you spend all day with.
14. Update your Facebook picture on the regs: Out-of-date photos mean that girls that met you the night before and are checking you out this morning think they had beer goggles on.
15. Not being “in the mood”: Waiting will totally make her want you more, dude. Why do you think we keep putting it off?
