I'm starting to assume that men around this campus are not capable of properly hitting on a woman. Some of their smooth-player tactics include yelling, e-mailing and cat-calling. These attempts are not honorable, nor will they get you positive attention or a civilized woman.

For those of you who just yell "Hey!" at a woman, that will not get you anywhere. If you are going to make the attempt, at least make it a good one. Women want to know they were worth the attempt. A "Hey beautiful" is a step up, but a small one. The reason why this player tactic does not work is simple: what could you possibly know about this girl just from looking at her for five seconds? That she has a great smile or a nice behind? Sounds like a winning relationship to me; you both have so much in common.

Next on my list of men who have no skills are the Facebookers. Wow... what a turn off. This attempt only sends bad messages to the woman. These bad messages are normally along the lines of "Hey Girl, I saw your profile and I was hoping we could get together," then the message is followed up by some sad pick-up line or compliment. Facebook or Myspace messaging says you are too lazy to go out in public and try to meet a woman. Unless you have a broken leg, there should be no excuse for doing this. You clearly are not comfortable talking to a woman in person.

Women want a guy who can talk to a woman. It also says that you don't have $15 to join a dating Web site, where you know girls are looking for someone. In your defense boys, it has been brought to my attention that if a guy goes on Facebook or MySpace and sends out 100 of these messages, chances are one pathetic girl will holler back. If that's all you're looking for, then I give my props for creativity and tactics.

If you are looking for a woman, you should network through friends, or try talking to women during the day at a place you have in common. I don't care what your intentions are, at least treat a woman with respect. She'll appreciate that in the long run. It won't ruin her self-esteem or make her question men for the rest of her life. I blame men with poor etiquette for the reason why women start to become cold and bitter in their early twenties.

#1: If you are going to call a girl, call before midnight. There's only one reason why a guy calls after midnight and according to our mothers, "Nothing good happens after midnight." Treat a girl with respect. After you get to know a girl, then you can call her at 2 a.m. drunk with your buddies.

#2: Don't call more than once in a day. If she calls you back, that resets it and then you can call again. The last thing a girl needs in her life is an impatient man.

#3: Don't get stalker-ific and drive by her house, or go to the bar she's at just because you know she's there. It's cute in the movies, but it's creepy in real life.
