When I was a wet-behind-the-ears freshman in college I had the good fortune of having a wizened old college senior as a roommate. In some ways, he was like the kindly uncle or big brother who dispenses "men's secrets" that I never had. Some male mentors give advice on finances or careers. My roommate gave me more important advice: how to get laid.
One of the first pieces of advice he gave was on timing; specifically on what time to show up for a party. He said:
"Whenever there is a frat party, do NOT be on time. If the party is to start at 10 PM, the women and many of the guys will get there about 10:30 and they'll start drinking. By midnight, the women are "socially lubricated" and the guys are slobbering drunks. THAT is the time to show up. You walk into the room all calm, collected, charming and witty. The drunk guys won't be able to compete and you'll be a magnet to the ladies. The key, however, is to time it just right. If you come too early, there is too much competition and too many inhibitions. If you show up too late, the women's inhibitions may have dropped but so have their standards. They will already be hooked up with one of the drunk guys."
That was one of the most useful things I ever learned in college....
