15 dating tips

This was hidden in a book that I took from the basement of an old apartment building I lived in. Apparently it didn't do our prospective dater too much good if he threw it out. Still I think there's some wisdom here. Let's break it down:

1) Be calm, cool, and collected. Obsessively making lists of exactly *how* to be calm, cool, and collected is highly conducive to the desired state.
2) Act like their equal. You are not their equal but you can at least try to fake it.
3) Be ready at all times. You should've learned this in Boy Scouts.
4) They can conquer; who believe they can. Self delusion can sometimes delude others as well.
5) The stronger male will get the most females. Getting Darwinian here.
6) Knowledge is power. Tip borrowed from the Reading Is Fun poster at the local library.
7) Make it happen. An invitation to date rape.
8) Do what you fear most. Your date will be hugely relieved when you jump off a tall building.
9) Casual, non-aggressive, kind of nice and indifferent. And more than a little bit calculating.
