| Before I begin I usually promote an active lifestyle and don’t encourage more people to watch more t.v. but maybe simply replace a few shows. Take note that I am not listing my favourite t.v. shows with the best story lines in the world, just ones in which you can actually take something from it and use to an advantage in your lifestyle.
#5 How I met your mother
This show is similar to Friends in many aspects, I don’t have much to write up on this show but the main concept i got out of this show is the importance of friends, and the " Bro code”, respect for your friends as well as great examples of how comedy situations can be set up and probably the main thing I got out of this show is the importance of how everyone should wear suits more often!
#4 Two and a half men
Charlie a 40 year old bachelor going on 25, this show was based on his lifestyle and well maybe he has been a little extreme in the past few months this is not the point I want to make, The main point I intend is to point out Charlie’s and the House keeper Berta's use of wit, Charlie’s smoothness and the way he’s laid back like the whole time. This show I would say is quite useful for understanding the main concepts of wit and innuendos it also gives a gateway into passive flirting.
#3 Desperate Housewives
Before you judge me ...... I can explain!
I’ve been in many occasions were I’ve let it drop that I am an avid viewer of Desperate Housewives and I’ve had great reactions due to it being an oxymoron of the image i portray, due to the fact that i "open up" a bit i give away a "weakness" in which i can be potentially bullied by her in a flirty way. Any occasion of her to bust my balls gives me a chance to bust hers even more!
It also allows for a bit of rapport ( I wouldn’t drop this in an initial pick up but only if i was seeing her on more than the one occasion and was leading down the relationship road) the way I see it , it’s like buying a perfect house and then finding out it has a hot tub! It’s like a selling point.
#2 Jersey/Geordie shore
Whether you hate it or love it just read….
Its basically a reality T.V. show of a bunch of friends living together , it emphasises the importance of looking good and being cocky, it gives viewers the chance to see where the characters went wrong and were they went right. It exposes the viewer to a lot of extreme social situations. In Both shows most of the men go to the Gym and they work their success with women around this however in Geordie shore one of the characters is just an average build and can pull more women than the built guys he has also shown the importance of class in wining and dining, there’s a lot to be learnt, whether it is scripted or not!
Another reason you should like this show is the fact that although it may outline a fake society it has succeeded ( well in my area) in influencing a lot of people’s expectations of how society should be , understanding this can make it a lot easier for you to work the system to stand out or to fit into their expectation.
One of the main reasons I selected this show is I have noticed it has motivated a lot of my friends to go the gym to get out to try harder! What’s wrong with a little Motivation if it gets people going the gym , releasing endorphins, making people less stressed and a little more cockier and ultimately feeling good and comfortable about themselves. I swear there is a direct coloration of people watching these shows and more people attending the gym and gaining from the benefits of it !
#1 Your Local sports team
Theirs been times where I’ve been out in a bar and I’ve had to bullshit that I know sports to other guys , I’ve recognised and it’s pretty obvious that this is a main conversation topic that allows guys to connect and make friends. It’s a hell of a lot easier making guy friends when you watch sports, if you don’t, just under come to peer pressure and give it a go. Yeah sure this has nothing to do with picking up girls but I’m promoting a healthy lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle is one were you are rich in friends, healthy and happy. The idea of becoming passionate about a sports team leading to making friends expands your social network and its pretty awesome when you can walk round your city saying hello to a lot of friends you’ve made, I’ve got to admit It’s one of my favourite things to do when im with a girl . This is one of the easiest ways to make Guy friends , simply watch sports !
