Default Go green to get the girl?

Nuts has apparently surveyed 1,500 women online to discover that the top ‘turn on’ women find attractive in men is 'caring about the environment’. The magazines relation expert figures that women equate eco awareness with a man who isn't selfish. 'There's something sexy about a man who recycles, it shows that he cares about more than just himself and shows he has a sensitive side and thinks about the future,' she says.

http://www.newconsumer.com/news/item...When:10:17:00Z is a story about this survey.

So guys, you gotta go green if you wanna get the girl

I used to tell some of my friends that if they recycled, they'd stand a better chance of getting laid with a woman. Seems I was right.

I tried persuading some of my male friends to go to a ceilidh because the ones organised by the university society always has loads more lasses than lads, so they would at least be guaranteed the chance to dance with a lass. They still wouldn't come. I dont think it'll be any easier to persuade them to switch electricity companies or go on demonstrations for the purposes of getting girlfriends .

So now, if I tell a woman that I don't have a car, she'll be impressed.

What's a ceilidh when it's at home?

Roughly speaking, in England anyway it's interpretted as the scottish version of a barn dance / country dance, usually with a "ploughman's supper" thrown in.
If you don't know what country dancing is, the best description I can give is that it's dancing with a partner usually in groups of six to eight people, often to music from a smallish live band, with the moves usually being called, and it's rather energetic.... but maybe someone can give a better description if you still don't get the drift! Think line dancing with a partner in a small group rather than a line, and possibly slightly less uncool...

Tell them that biking or recycling will be better. Consider being crude eg. "You'll get more chance of a b%$* j*! if you ditch the car, and recycle more".
