BUSTED BOUNCER
After having a few beers with friends while watching a KU basketball game, Matt Sager, Shawnee junior, decided to join his friends at It's Brothers! on Massachusetts Street. Even though the night is still a little blurry to Sager, he recalls running into a guy he had gone to high school with at the bar. The guy held a grudge against Sager and threw him out. Sager couldn't find his friends and had to walk 13 blocks back home. After recapting the night with his friends the next day, he realized that the guy who threw him out did not, in fact, even work at Brother's.

IT SEEMS ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE NO PROBLEM FINDING A GUY WHO ACTUALLY TAKES INTEREST, BUT I NEVER SEEM TO LAND THE PERFECT GUY, OR ANY GUY. THEY ALL TELL ME I'M THE PERFECT GIRL: NOT TOO TALL, NICE AND SLIM, EVERYTHING A GUY COULD WANT. BUT FOR SOME REASON NO ONE SHOWS INTEREST. I WILL ADMIT I CAN SEEM EXTREMELY SHY, BUT I TRY NOT TO BE. IS THERE ANYTHING I COULD DO IN THE HOPES OF HAVING SOMEONE GAIN INTEREST? —BAILEY. SOPHOMORE

Chris: So your friends tell you that you're "the perfect girl," huh? That's funny, that's exactly what how my second stepmom used to describe me — at least when she was sober. Newsflash, hon: your friends are lying. You're not perfect, neither are they and neither were any of my stepmothers. If you want to attract a man, you should set the bar lower. Maybe aim for "kind of cute,"""sorta funny" or, if you're feeling ambitious, "not too annoying."You could always take the easy route and go for "slutty," but honestly, there's enough of that in this town already. And I assume you'd like to maintain at least the veneer
of integrity. Plus, you'd have to compete with your friends, and it sounds like they have a sizable edge in experience on you. And about your goal of landing the "perfect" guy? That's a good one. See, you're being "sorta funny" already.
Niloofar: Yeah, there is. It involves a miniskirt, a pushup bra and a lack of dignity. But you said you "can seem extremely shy," so I'm guessing this isn't an option for you. The truth is, I'm a bit concerned with what sounds like desperation. Just hoping that "someone" will gain interest is not good enough. Men are the pursuers and women are the selectors. That's a powerful position
to be in, so use it. No one to select from? Once again, that might have a lot to do with your shyness. While in your head, you think you're just coming off as a wallflower, to men you might be coming off as disinterested. The men are pursuing, so if you don't give them any green lights, how are they supposed to pass go? They won't. A woman who truly believes she is a prize isn't afraid to flirt. It shows she's comfortable about who she is and that she is interested. So my assignment to you is to be very conscious of the types of signals you're sending out. Work up the courage to crack some jokes, bat your eyelashes and be sexy... sans a pushup bra.
