Q:Dear Lee,
I have recently been wondering how to find the girl on whom I want to use your "10 Secrets for Wooing Hoards of Women."
~Wondering About It

A:Dear Wondering,
You may try running tests to find at least the type (because of the anonimity involved with research ethics) of girl you want to pursue. You can set up control and treatment groups and develop an appropriate methodology. I would suggest using one of the quasi-experimental models for your project. However, during the long time required for this process, you should hone your skills with the Secrets on an imaginary girlfriend. Let me tell you about mine. She is absolutely wonderful and super cool. However, her most distinguishing feature is probably that she is really ugly. One would think that since I made her up, that she would be hot, but nothing could be further from the truth. I'll tell you a little story just to clarify exactly how ugly she is. A couple of weeks ago, I felt pretty daring, so I let her out of her cage. While she was on the prowl, she decided that she would venture outside. Within seconds of the moment that she stepped through the door, the dog across the street died! That's ugly. So, Wondering, I would suggest these methods for selecting the right girl on which to use the Secrets. You certainly don't want to waste them on the first girl who walks through the door.
