DATING ADVICE FOR MEN: OBSERVATION

I was at the post office this morning, arranging shipments and business, when I noticed a fairly attractive woman with a young boy in line. Now, I don't think it was her boy (there are certain tell-tale visual cues for this) and I was thinking about saying something to her after I finished at the window.

Then I realized something. I was in Dork Attire. (That's D.A. for short.)

What is Dork attire?

It's when you're wearing something that will either NOT attract a woman, or will repel her.

I realized that I had gone out in my Punisher T-shirt. It's got the skull emblem of the Punisher on the front of it.

Now, while you comic-reading dudes out there know how bad-ass the Punisher is, many people do not.

Especially women.

They would take one look at my t-shirt and go, "ewwww!!"

And rightfully so. It's kind of anti-social to run around with a t-shirt with a skull on it. Even a nice lovey-dovey skull with flowers on it. Or a Grateful Dead skull.

Skulls=BAD

Remember that equation. I will next time.

On the other hand, I have another t-shirt that is only slightly dorky, but it works a lot better. It's got Tintin on it, with Snowy his dog. (If you don't know what Tintin is, I can't help you.)

That one is rather amusing and brings back memories of childhood for a lot of people. And, on the front of this shirt is a little emblem on the left side with Tintin and the word "Adventure" under it.

I liked the message.

Next time, I'll be wearing that one out, or perhaps something more stylish.

The short lesson?

Don't try to make a statement of your dorky interests. Make a statement of presentability.

You'll go much further with the ladies.
