It's been observed that there are only seven unique plotlines in the world, and all books, movies and plays are just variations on those themes. The same is true for barroom conversations, except there are only five. As someone who gets paid to be in the bar, I've had plenty of opportunities to observe these types in action.  And since I’m in the bar for the majority of my life, often by myself, this has only fueled my rabid curiosity for talking to strangers.

Do NOT be yourself. "You" are an ordinary individual with a regular job and a average life. Be your more exciting, sexier, wittier, crazier twin. Remember, they are drinking too, and unless they know you already they'll never spot the difference. Unless of course you are the sexier, wittier, cazier twin - then go ahead, be yourself.

It's a numbers game so positioning yourself in the traffic, smiling and making eye contact are good starts. You need to talk to everyone, not just the drop dead hotties. If they don't respond IT IS NOT fatal....just grin, shrug and try again.

Funny article. I think behaving naturally is the best idea rather than putting on an act which would be hard work.
