Cocktail Party Guide #4: How To Impress A San Francisco Frat Boy
Not all San Francisco residents like talking about composting and kombucha at the bars. Even if it's been a long time since your last red cup party, you only need to follow these few simple rules to win the heart of a frat boy. Before you know it, you will be waking up on a couch with no cushions with a shower curtain as a blanket.
Whatever you do, do NOT compliment him on his t-shirt.
He will think you’re a clingy girl looking for a committed relationship. And bro, he’s going to be a tomcat for life.

On the same token, ixnay on the iological clock-bay.
If the letter jacket and Abercrombie cargo pants aren’t enough of an indication, frat boys are not fond of such ideas as: growing old, mortality, babies, etc. Chances are your date had to break up with his last girlfriend because she asked him to feed her beta fish, so just skip the babies/puppies/plants/dependents conversation until he gets his bachelor’s degree.
I hate this bar so much that I almost didn’t move to San Francisco because of an ill-fated evening that landed me there. It’s exactly like a frat party, except where you have to pay for your drinks and compete with cougars. Still, your frat boy du jour will be impressed if you hold your own here for an evening.

The kids are serious about their beer pong at Broken Record. They even have a $100 tournament on first Sundays of the month.
Bring your own cup.
Even though this may not guarantee free beer at most San Francisco establishments, your effort will hearken to his collegiate sensibilities, and make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Remember, in the land of the Greek, nothing screams “future wife” so well as a red plastic cup.
Any good frat boy will admire such ingenuity.
Tell him about that one time your sorority sister brought her grandma over.
This one is a hit every time. I like to get the story rolling, then choose the details as I go along. By the time I get to the part about whether or not Granny wins, I’m just as suprised as the audience! (photo: testriffic.com)
Alcoholic accessories are a plus.
Your strategically-placed jello jewelry will really complement his ying-yang hemp man-choker.

Turn last year's fashion blunder into a hit!
Change this fashion faux-pas into an impressive and useful tool for the flip cup table. Suddenly, you won’t feel so bad about paying $18 at Urban Outfitters for a pair of gloves that don’t even keep your fingers warm. That is, until an excited teammate spikes you with their excessively gelled head.

When the conversation starts to lull, kiss the only other female in the bar just for attention.
There’s nothing more entertaining as two girls awkwardly posing in a kiss position while awaiting the flash of the nearest digital camera.
