142 BODY LANGUAGE SECRETSACTING CLASSES
These are filled with the kind of young women who
will date someone your age: extroverted, avant garde,
free spirited, independent, non-conformist, free
thinking, tolerant of others who don't dress or think
or act like the crowd. Some are all of that and built
like a Playboy Bunny.
Get your tush into as a class today. You will get to
read for many parts just because of your age. That
means you get to interact with young women on an
intimate level because acting requires being emo-
tional. Many warm-up and getting-in-touch exercises
require being vulnerable, emotional and, tah da!
physical contact! Dynamite!
You're the only Man, with a capital M. She likes
you because you're different from the boys, not be-
cause you do, or don't, have acting talent. Different
works.
DON'S UPDATE
I said, "... they begin anew, if you don't quit."
After Carla came Tina 19, Betsy 19, then Martha 24,
who was so responsible in comparison. Next was Sue,
- We made it for over a year with no grief of any
kind. Hummm? Perhaps this is better? Then came
Ann, 26. We lasted four years!
It was June. Every afternoon I went to Bob's Big
Boy to cool off with a Diet Coke and the sports page.
I was 53 and thought I had quit forever until my
waitress, Joanna, 19, bent way over to wipe off the
table beside me—Jeezeeus what buns!
Six weeks later, lunch. Two months later, insanely
in love. Now, five years later, we're happily married!
The moral? Don't quit. The message? There are
few, if any, accidents. Six months into it, Joanna
confessed that she had bent over to get my attention.
Updated Helpful Hints 143Gentlemen, I love Joanna more than life, more
than all others combined. We are one, what oneness
really means. That alone, has made everything
you've read about worth the effort! Our committed,
deep, abiding love makes life's struggle a joy when
it's easy, and endurable when misfortune strikes, as
it does.
She is the one I was looking for when I set out on
this quest way back in '82. Someday, may you find
your Joanna!
UPDATED ABSOLUTE NO NO'S
Never, ever chew gum or a toothpick.. Don't have a
cute license plate frame or cute bumper stickers or
wear shirts with cute sayings. Don't talk about or
show her your baseball cards. Don't have fancy
wheels or hubcaps on your car. Back packs. Fanny
packs. Water beds. Expensive sneakers such as Air
Jordans or other shoes that boys and young men
wear. Granny glasses! Pony tails, goatees, hiking
boots, construction worker shoes, flannel shirts,
grunge clothing. In short, never anything trendy.
Absolutely do not try to look young by wearing what
the young wear or drive, like Jeeps.
SPUMANTE
If she doesn't like champagne, get Asti Spumante.
Coax her to take a sip by saying, "It tastes like spu-
mante ice cream." California spumante is 12 percent.
More bang for the buck.
MOVIES
With any woman, in early conversations mention
you like these movies: Casablanca, Officer And A
Gentleman, Gone With The Wind, Ghost, Wuthering
Heights, Swept Away. Add that your friends consider
you a romantic fool.
When she's ready to watch a movie at your place,
insert Swept Away. Say it's a foreign film with sub-
