Halloween
October 29, 2008
For every guy, this is the greatest night of the year.
The effect of your daily outfit plays a great role on your psych. When you dress to impress you feel better and feel like you’re an impressive person. When you dress like a bum, you feel like a bum and want to lie around all day.
Same thing goes for women. And on Halloween, they dress like they don’t have any clothes. The feeling of being something you’re not, let’s you forget about transgressions easier. And when you feel like a slut, you’re behavior is going to be more slutty, and let’s face it, most of the costumes are such. (My personal Favs: Girl dresses up as Chef with Panties and an Apron. The French Maid, and the Cowgirl). For women this is the perfect opportunity to either : Cheat on that annoying BF, Get over my Ex, Just Fuck, Meet new People, and because they don’t feel like it was actually them going home with said stranger, it makes everything that much easier on them.
So now you’re a guy and how do you take advantage of this golden night where women dress scantly, are drunk and willing? You don’t dress up as a cheerleader, it makes you seem less masculine, and being that most female costumes are extremely feminine, you need to see masculine. Roissy has a great post on Beta Costumes and what to avoid. So now you’ve got your alpha male costume, have no game and see this hot piece of action in front of you, what to do?
I generally prefer being sober to a slight buzz when I approach, as it allows me to think clearer, but on Halloween, being a drunken loud fool may do you more good, especially if you can say witty things that have to do with your costume, and know that the target will be wasted as well. I also advocate strong direct game because you don’t need to be coming from an angle that you’re not as interested. Girls know you’re interested, and because of the costume they don’t feel like it’s actually them being hit on. It’s ok to be a little more direct and bust a quick move. The other advantage to a quick move is because there are a ton of targets around, so you can constantly bounce from one to another. If you tie that together with the DC bar crawls, then you’ve got a bunch of different bars, and they’re all filled to the rim.
