TOTP - Top Ten Myths About Chatting Up Girls

Roger Smalls from Guildford has sent us his list of myths about chatting up girls for todays show, apparently these ten bits of advice are complete rubbish:-

  • 10 - A girl who says call me anytime is really keen on you
  • 9 - Always remember to dress smartly
  • 8 - Always talk about them, not yourself
  • 7 - Always maintain eye contact
  • 6 - Women will look like their mothers in 30 years time
  • 5 - You can choose your friends but you cant choose your family
  • 4 - When walking with a girl, walk next to her
  • 3 - Do not take rejection personally
  • 2 - Never sleep with a girl on the first date
  • 1 - Yes means no and no means yes

Keep those lists coming in to topofthepods@gmail.com. The audio comment site we mentioned is at Evoca - record your comments straight onto the web site and we'll play them on our show.
