Welcome to Good Mythical More. There was an article written about how girls should flirt with guys. Yep. Written by this guy. Yep. We can figure out who it is, but the thing is, we’re gonna analyze this guy’s advice, and then see if we agree with it. And let’s see if you agree with it. But first, let’s tell a 10-word story. Why don’t you go first? Arms. Bend. Because. Shallots. Can’t. Touch. Your. Little. Curlies. There’s one more word. And you left me with curlies. Do you just wanna say curly, or do you wanna say… Curly. Universe. That’s why arms bend? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Arms bend because shallots can’t touch your little curly universe. Yeah. I’m disappointed. All right. Can’t hide it. Am I right though? Who wrote this article? Do you want credit this guy? Okay, so this is a list that comes from an article on hackspirit.com. Hacks? Of course. I love the site. Know nothing about it. It tells you various ways to get a guy to like you, and it has a bunch of different options. But we’re gonna focus on the flirting segment of the article, specifically. So I’m gonna tell you the headline and a one-liner from this guy’s tips. It was written in 2020. Outdated. This dude is not, he’s not an old guy either. Over it. So it’s- He’s not a what? He’s not old, so it’s interesting. Okay. What’s his name? His name is, bring it towards me? Bring it? How do you say that? Lachlan? Lachlan Brown. Oh gosh, that’s tough. Lachlan? ‘Ol Lachlan Brown, huh? Lachlan Brown. Lachlan. I don’t like anyone with Lachlan in their name. Okay, how to get a guy to like you. Draw attention to your lips. Yep, this does actually work. Keep ChapStick or lip gloss in your bag, and get pouty. This is to get a guy to like a woman? Well, it says to get a guy to like you, but yeah I would assume Okay, whoever you are. I would assume. And you wanna know if this works on me? Oh, I’m sorry. It’s under the section “Advice for Single Women.” So yes, I guess, definitively, this is for women to get a guy to like you. Oh, gosh. Well, I can say it definitively doesn’t work when Link does it, for me. Oh, now there’s hair on my ChapStick. This is good. But I think that I gotta say- This is a winner. I think that this is good advice. I’m just gonna be honest with you. My wife has very notable lips, and I noted them very early on. And it’s been an adventure ever since. Yeah, this is solid advice. I guess the- I like it. question is though, to get a guy to like you, like- I think it’s just to get- what’s the definition of like? It just means to get a guy a little bit more interested. Now obviously, if the guy Flirty. is not attracted to you, It’s flirt. lip action is not gonna do anything. It may even be a turn off. I think it could if you’re on a fence, though. Drawing attention to… It could bring you over the fence. It could teeter you towards attraction. Uh huh. Yeah. So- I’m definitely on team Team Work the Lips. Team Attention on the Lips. Big thumbs up. If you’re in a group of people- When they do this after putting on stuff, I love that too. Okay. I’m ready to move on. Okay. Can you make a noise? If you’re in a group of people, say hi while looking at everyone but him. He’ll feel left out. Then include him in the conversation slightly later. It’ll make his day. So the old playing hard to get. I don’t like, I’m not a big fan of games. You know? I’m a heart on my sleeve kind of guy. It’d be tough to win. Like, I’m not good at interpretation, you know? It’s like, if you’re ignored, it’s just kinda like, “Oh, there’s no interest here.” You know? It’s like… David is saying that he’s done this purposefully before. Did you read, are you a fan of Lachlan Brown? He’s a game player. You’re a fan of Lachlan Brown? You’ve taken this advice on the reg? I just didn’t know. It was a thing that I did. Oh, you did it instinctually? No. Yeah. You didn’t do it strategically. No. Oh, I thought you said you did it purposefully. But I didn’t know it was a… Well then why didn’t you You purposefully talk to them? did it in order to get this type of reaction, but you didn’t mean to be mean about it? I guess so, yeah. Did it work? Yes. Yeah. See it worked. This is the thing- You eventually talked to them a little bit later? Yeah? Yeah? Yes. David doesn’t wanna go into any more details and they were ripe and I’m not going to for conversation. press him. This works, depending on the personality of the person that you are trying to manipulate. Okay? Let’s just be honest, right? Yeah. Manipulate. That’s a good word. The fact is that some form of playing hard to get is strategic for people with certain personalities, because, especially someone who gets a lot of attention and someone who has a lot of people who are trying to get their attention. Sometimes somebody who doesn’t, who suddenly seems like, “Oh they don’t seem to care about me.” Well, that person instantly becomes more interesting to those people. So I just think you gotta think about who you’re trying to go after. If it’s somebody who is attention-starved then a little bit of attention is gonna go a long way. But if it’s somebody who’s attention-overloaded then depriving them of that- anything that creates a little bit of an expectation or is a little bit against the grain is, in my mind, is gonna be a positive thing. You heard it here, David. That’s sounds good. I guess it’s, well, because it says, “Say hi while looking at everyone, but him.” Hi, hi, hi. But I think I read it as like, say hi to everyone but him which just seems mean and rude. Yeah. It it’s kind of reductionist. But this is like, this is a subtler Yeah. situation. Yeah. You gotta be more sub-tle than that. Yeah, you’re not saying hi to everyone but him. Are you saying that you did that? You’re saying- Hi, hi, not you, hi. I’ll talk to you later. Oh, Mikayla. Mikayla was making that noise. Is it me? They’re having their own show over there. Oh, okay so Mikayla is making a noise. Mikayla’s on this Team Say Hi To Everyone But Someone Individually and that it’s not mean. I think it’s super rude. And Caitlin thinks it’s super mean. Here’s the thing, it is mean- It’s mean, Mikayla! but sometimes it might be the spark that’s like, “Hold on, you were just mean to me.” And next thing you know, you’re having a conversation. Rhett’s right. That’s a level of intimacy that you expect. It has to be, you have to do it to someone who doesn’t interpret it as mean, but interprets it as a challenge. Exactly. So it’s really about assessing your target. You can’t use the same bait for all the fish. Y’all know what I’m saying? Yeah, man! Some of them like the worm, some of them like that stink bait. Yeah, if you wanna make love to a wide mouth bass that’s your business. That’s right. Do the “Bump and Flatter”. Bump and flatter. Accidentally run into him in a crowd or at a party, and laugh and say, “Oh, sorry. I become a total kultz around cute people.” Okay. Well- They’ll be immediately flattered, and will want to get to know you. Lachlan. Come on, bro. You’re given all us Lachlans a bad name. Lachlan. ‘Cause I’m technically a McLaughlin. If you do it by accident, if you like run into somebody by accident, you gotta have a good one liner, and it could be, yeah. That’s a good flirtatious line to make up for being clumsy. But you can’t fake clumsy. It just has to happen. Trust me. I mean, I will say, to some degree anything, and, again, very generalizing here, any attention from a woman to a man who likes women Yeah. Is gonna work. I’m just gonna be honest with you. Like should I smile at him? Should I not smile at him? Should I wink at him? Should I just face away from him? It will all work. If he likes you, it doesn’t matter. You know what I’m saying? Should I accidentally hit him with my car? Right. He’ll love it. Oh, he’ll love that. He’ll love it. He’ll love that. Oh my God. The way she Because hit me with that car- most guys, if a woman- My eyes rolled back in my head. If a woman, I have to tell my wife this on a regular basis because she’s so friendly and she smiles at a lot of people. I’m like, just so you know, the average dude, when a woman smiles at him in any setting, he’s like, “She’s into me.” Grocery store, “She smiled at me. She’s into me.” That’s what guys think. That’s where their mind goes. So I’m just like, sometimes you just gotta look like a meanie if you don’t want guys to think that they’re, I mean, I’m sorry, guys are stupid. This is like, you prep Jessie before she goes to the grocery store that she cannot look Yeah. at anyone. Well, ’cause she’ll come back from the grocery store, and she’ll be like, “Well there was this guy that…”, and then she tells me the story and I’m like, “Did you like smile at him before?” And she’s like, “Maybe. I’m just nice.” You know? “And then I got into a conversation that I didn’t wanna be in with a guy that I didn’t wanna be in a conversation with.” Cassie went to Trader Joe’s the other day, and one of the workers there was like, she was looking at, the end cap display area where there were multiple items. End cap. You know what I’m saying? Yep. And the guy who worked there came up by behind her, and was like, “I see you looking at them, and they’re really good. Trust me.” And she was like, “Oh, I wasn’t looking at anything in particular.” And he grabbed these cookies, and he is like, “These. trust me. They’re really good.” And so she brought them home, and I opened the pantry and they’re like, strawberry lemonade cookies. I’m seeing some nodding- She couldn’t not buy them though, right? No! She bought them because she was afraid because it was a small Trader Joe’s that he would point at her in the checkout aisle and be like, “You got those cookies, right?” So she was like, “I didn’t want them, but I felt really bad about not buying them.” And so that’s what happened. “Oh, I see you looking.” “Oh yeah.” I thought you were gonna say she was at the gift card section. “Oh yeah. Best Buy.” “Yeah.” You know the end caps a lot of times it’s just like- She said Trader Joe’s. Yeah. Trader Joe’s, though. Yes. This one’s not bad. Get eye contact with your crush. Instead of looking away like most people, usually. Good. Look at them directly. Look at him, sorry, directly, smile, and link. Wink! Smile and link. Okay, nevermind. It will show you’re incredibly confident. And if he has any balls, then he’ll come talk to you. I… So making eye contact, is that the general thing we’re talking about? No, winking! Yeah, get eye contact. Winking is the big move. He slips in “Smile and wink.” He added smile and wink. Yeah. That’s- After you’ve established eye contact. That’s the headline here, is like, what do we think about the wink? I think- That is weird! It’s way too much. Again, it will be effective. I mean, you could do whatever. You could just, you could like, just make a , like just make a- You could act like your chok- You could do anything and a guy is gonna be like, “Okay, I’m I’m coming over.” I think that’s just, we’re not all that dumb as like a subspecies. Yeah, I’m just saying, I’m just saying it’s more likely. She vomited. She did a vomit sound in my direction. No, but seriously, I think that the wink is like, it really would take you off guard. But it’s like, there’s no misinterpreting that. Well, I guess it’s like is there something in her eye? That is weird! I think- Is there something in your eye? I would be a little frightened, to be honest with you. I don’t think I’ve ever been winked at in my entire life. I have. From who? I liked it. Okay, everyone’s on Team Weird, of the dozen people who are back here, except for Mikayla, who likes it. It’s super flirty. I mean, it’s like, I like the very overt flirt type thing. It’s so specific to like a 1950s movie. Yeah. That you would think that like- Throwback. am I on camera right now? Like, that was so specific. Someone winked at me? I think if you’re saying something, and you throw a wink in, then it works. But if you’re just looking, smiling, and there’s nothing… “I see you’re looking at those.” “They’re good.” “Real good.” It’s it’s more like, “Yeah, I like to get the variety pack of beers, too.” Yeah, that was unpleasant. I didn’t even see the winking eye. I just saw the eye that stayed open. I like to get the variety pack of beers, too. Oh gosh. But eye contact in general, as I’ve established before, in my younger days, like middle school days, I was very much a starer. And so I definitely was on Team Eye Contact and Team Wait Till She Looks Back And How Long Will She Stare At You? And I don’t recommend that. That’s creepier. It’s creepy. It was ultimately creepy, but it did work virtually every time for me. But maybe I just got lucky. I’m just saying, I don’t recommend it. But it worked in Buies Creek. You know who probably knows more about this than we do, and that’s Trevor. Oh yeah. ‘Cause, you know, he’s young, he’s in the mix. Yeah. He’s winking a lot. We’ve been married to our wives over 20 years. We give advice that you shouldn’t take because we wanna live vicariously through you making an idiot of yourself. Yep. That’s what we do. We’re dads. Trevor has a podcast. I don’t think he gives any dating advice, but, depending on who he has on the show. Like recently he had Justa Minx on the show. You can learn all types of stuff. He talks to people. You can watch him talk to the people and arm wrestle them on YouTube or listen to it wherever you get your podcasts. Trevor Talks Too Much. You know what else you can do? You can get podcast highlights over at Mythical Podcast, @mythicalpods on TikTok. Yeah. I highly recommend it. One more tip, at least one more. Come on. We gotta help the people out. Okay. I wasn’t prepared for the one more. Oh no, give two more then. Well, there is one that says playfully hit him Got dog hair all over me. which we kind of covered with like Reno, you know, hit him with your car, I guess, is something that this gentleman believes in. Playfully hit him? This should help him understand that you like him. And it’s fun! Like that? Yeah, I think- Oh, oh, okay. We’re getting into good territory here. Playful hitting. Compare your hand sizes. “Wow. Your hands are so much bigger than mine.” “Wow.” That’s dumb. That seems, I mean, again, you gotta have deep context for that to happen. This feels very 2020. That can’t be outta nowhere. This is just called “Cold and Hug.” If it’s cold, ask for a cuddle to keep warm. Okay. Alright. How do you do that? It’s getting strange now. I mean, what kind, where are we at? It’s like in the frozen aisle. Okay, Okay, Here’s the deal. If you are in a group situation, like a group of friends hanging out, you’re all hanging out. It’s outside. You gotta walk across Central Park to get to the Lincoln Center for a special occasion, and it’s getting a little bit cold. And so you’re like, “I’m so cold!” and she gets kind of close to you. At that point, in like a group setting that feels like, “Oh, this is becoming maybe more than friends, but if you’re just at Trader Joe’s, and it just has to be a little bit, you’re in the frozen section, don’t be asking for hugs there. I’m just saying, I think it’s all about contextual relationships. Yeah, if you’re in a friend group and you’re starting to crush on this guy, then it’s like, yeah, I could see the cuddle thing kind of. That is a good prank video though. You’re in the frozen aisle at the grocery store, and you approach people and say, “It’s so cold. Can I have a cuddle?” I don’t know. That’s a little close to those prank videos where it’s, I don’t know. No. Touching people? Yeah. There’s a whole- That’s not a good prank video on TV. There’s a whole like- No, because you’re literally asking someone for consent Okay. to do something to you. Yeah, yeah. I’ll go make that video later. Go make it. Yeah. Yeah. Go make it. Trevor has been making so many friends, we’re actually starting to get jealous.
