How to Get a Girl in Class


Let’s say it’s a seminar style class. These kinds of classes put you a little closer to the On-The-Floor awkwardness, but it has the benefit of only lasting a semester.

1. At first, you want to argue with your girl of choice. In class discussions always argue the opposite of her point. I mean, don’t be a super dick about it. Don’t try and fish a conflict out of your ass because then you just seem like a fool.

2. About two weeks into the course, after you’ve already intelligently argued with her at least 3 times, you’ve got to get ready to come to her rescue. (So do your f*cking homework this week.) See, wait till she’s debating with someone else and starting to struggle, then jump in on her side. Say slightly aggressively to the opponent, “No, I don’t think you understand what she’s saying. She is completely right about (what she’s right about here. Make sure you know what she was trying to say).” As you finish, give her a slightly embarrassed, I-didn’t-mean-to-get-so-caught-up smile and ask if that’s what she meant. It is. Now you’re on a team.

3. In any class you have two main deal-sealing windows: midterms and finals. There is no way you or your girl have stayed up to date on the reading, so when big tests roll around you’ll be flustered and desperate and willing to invite anyone to your bedroom. In a 10×10 room where the only place to sit is a bed the awkwardness can go on forever if you let it. I do, however, have a solution. It is my final Getting-the-Girl tip: just go for it. Be a man! Step up! The worst that can happen is she won’t reciprocate and you’ll be embarrassed for a minute, but I promise you if you just laugh off the rejection, might even start to like you. So stick around ‘cause girls are f*cking weird.

You Don't Stutter

A number of years ago I thought it would be nice to take my martial arts class outside to the park to train. We had been there for a little over an hour when it began to get dark. It was then a Police cruiser drover over the curb and straight into the park, flashing his lights and turned on his roof spotlight; aiming it at us. I quickly, but calmly walked over to the cruiser... Read More » to ask what the issue was. The officer in the drivers seat started asking me questions about what we were doing in the park and I responded with the truth. Sadly I have a stutter, though not too bad it is noticeable. The officer then started badgering me, asking why I was so nervous, what am I hiding, etc.. I then became insulted and told him I stuttered to which he replied "Suuuuuure you do buddy" and started exiting his vehicle with his nightstick in hand. He then stopped, got back in the car and told me I was lucky and drove off. I thought he must have thought better of arresting me without cause and smiled. I turned around to resume class and all 32 of my students were less than 10 feet behind me, standing cross armed and looking very annoyed at the car driving away. Guess he figured it wasn't worth it.
