I spent this past weekend meeting up with friends I hardly get to see (damn you real life and your jobs). We all met up in NYC from our respective cities for a few days of catching up and craziness. Of course, when you stick a bunch of guys in the City, there’s bound to be some Y-chromo tendencies. So many hotties around it kind of makes you goofy. Obviously, for the single guys this is no thing; for the rest of us, it is a nut kick waiting to happen.

Every time you see something, there’s that tiny to overwhelming ‘what if’ that pops into you mind. Momentary lapse of judgment, or just complete stupidity, but these moments have broken many a man.

I catch myself during these situations and have to give myself a mental bitchslap. This gives me a little bit to think about it with more than my shortsword and to see wtf is going on. For me, comparing the current mind stupefying woman with mine helps me convince myself it’s not worth it to do something overly stupid. They may be hot and have great assets, but they usually have meh jobs, or can’t hold a conversation to save their Minolos. This has definitely kept me out of trouble many a times.

So what do you do? I’m interested to know your tricks and tactics. Assuming you have tactics. Maybe you are the mad player and think this is all superfluous. Otherwise please comment.
