However, their advice to &#8220;dress up your best assets&#8221; is a little much. If you are at the point where you&#8217;re hunting for men at Vons, we&#8217;re guessing a sexy outfit, paired with your haunting, lonely eyes, is probably just going to scream DESPERATE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. &#8220;Become a regular&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here, BPM compares visiting the same grocery store every week to being a regular at a bar. &#8220;The clerks might hook you up with great deals&#8221; made us laugh out loud, because <em>No, they won&#8217;t. <\/em>Sure, that 16-year-old kid might not charge you for a tub of Haagen Dazs, but that&#8217;s probably because he&#8217;s stoned and hates his job, not cause he appreciates your patronage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. &#8220;Steer your own cart&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our favorite little gem came from this tip: &#8220;ask a cute stranger how to tell if a peach is ripe!&#8221; We&#8217;re not sure if this is supposed to be a genuine call for help or some creepy pick-up line, but either way, we&#8217;re opposed. That one-liner is either going to result in a very public fondling, or him thinking you&#8217;re mentally challenged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Be a Spy!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is where the advice gets a little out of hand. BPM suggests you look in guys carts, and if there happens to be liquor, ice, and cups (sure signs of a party!) to slyly ask if he has something planned. You heard right, they are basically saying for women to INVITE THEMSELVES TO STRANGERS&#8217; HOUSES. I&#8217;m sure nothing terrible could come out of this well-thought-out plan!<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackpeoplemeet.com\/magazine\/?event=page.articles.read&amp;article=39&amp;Page=1\" target=\"_blank\">BlackPeopleMeet<\/a> online mag is usually a great source for dating advice and helpful hints.
