Tips #8-9!

You guys are getting a ton of tips today! Don't take them lightly...or maybe you should just so you can laugh a little. ;o)

#8) LEAVE THE PRESENTS AT HOME! Wanna impress the guys? You'll have to figure that out on your own, but I can tell you what NOT to do. DO NOT bring presents for the guys' wives and girlfriends. It's creepy. Besides, I really don't think Barrett plans on using the bar soap you bought her from Walmart. If you happen to see her, tell her you appreciate that she supports her hubby. DON'T give her gifts she does not want or need. ESPECIALLY do not gift her if she is walking around with GRIFFIN. She's a small gal, do you really think it's comfortable for her to hold Grif in one arm, walk Duncan, AND carry around your gift bag to her full of home knitted scarves? No. No, no, no, no, NO. You might say "it's the thought that counts", but really, she'll probably just think you're crazy. In reality, you don't know her at all, and you shouldn't be gifting her with nonsense items.

#9) DON'T USE YOUR KIDS! I understand that you are desperate for a NK to notice you, to hug you, to hold your hand. And there is NOTHING wrong with that. But seriously people, QUIT using your kids to get the guys' attention! It really only makes you appear trashy when the guys' see your 10 year old daughter holding a sign that says "Donnie, watch me Dirty Dance!". Um...she's 10. Clearly not dating material for Edub.The guys are WELL AWARE of the fact that women have been using their children to get facetime, and they really aren't impressed. Bottom line, it probably won't get you that picture you've been craving since you were 9. So save your kid some stress, let them be a kid and not an attention striving whore!
