Comments on: Manslations Reader Request: No Fat Chicks! (And probably no chicks at all) http://manslations.com/2007/07/23/manslations-reader-request-no-fat-chicks-and-probably-no-chicks-at-all/ Ask for Jeff Mac's advice on what men think -- about relationships, dating, sex, love, squirrels, whatever.

If a guy gets too over-excited that you are planning to play Halo 3 online, and then it turns out you have no info to back it up...he might feel a little ripped off. Honestly, if you just mention Halo 3 (it's coming out in September, so it's, you know, topical) it'll probably be just fine. Or you said you like guitar hero and sexy cellphones -- stick to your strengths. That stuff'll get you there.

Honestly, if you just mention Halo 3 (it’s coming out in September, so it’s, you know, topical) it’ll probably be just fine.

WHAT IF I GET A FOLLOW UP QUESTION?! (I think it means when a bunch of nerds get together online and have a video game nerdfest. Perhaps I can wing it).

And if you can work in a comment about how "If Halo 3 doesn't have online Co-op, I'm not buying it," you might receive a proposal of marriage. Sweet.

I can also pretend to like sports for like one minute if you give me enough booze. Lucky for me, I like Guitar Hero and fancy cell phones.

Regarding the fake Grey's Anatomy enjoyment -- Interesting. Yeah, I guess some of us know that one. Never tried it with Grey's Anatomy specifically, but I have faked an appreciation for "Sex and the City," and that seemed to work. Men have a similar thing with sports, electronics, video games, etc. We don't need you to actually like them. We are pretty sure you don't give a shit. But we are THRILLED when you pretend you do. (We would even accept you not making fun of us too hard for liking them.)

JUST DON'T DO IT. Also, you'd be amazed by how many points men can earn with me by pretending you enjoy a drama like Grey's Anatomy. If you go so far as to watch it with me, I will probably sleep with you. Don’t ever call me irrational, even if I’m being irrational. JUST DON’T DO IT.
