8 Ways to Impress Me, By Erin Burnett [Men's Health]
(apparently Men's Health is blocked (why?) for some of you. Here's the longer version of the list:)
1. Pack Your BagsAny guy who can plan a trip to an exotic locale, such as Mongolia, Mozambique, or Papua New Guinea, would impress me.
2. Buy Me a New Atlas and Globe
You could unlock my heart by allowing me to dream up my next trip. I love to travel, and hope to eventually set foot in 100 countries. I have many more to go.
3. Do Something Special for My Parents
Family is important to me, so round-trip business-class tickets to Australia and New Zealand for my parents would earn you big points in my book.
4. Relax Me
Yoga keeps me calm, so I'd be impressed if you thought to send a yoga instructor to my apartment for private sessions.
5. Help Me Work Out
Finding an exercise bike at my door would be great for rainy days when my Raleigh M80 mountain bike and I are stuck indoors.
6. Edify Me
Reading is a passion of mine, so a gathering with a couple of my favorite authors, especially Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs, and Steel) and Robin McKinley (The Blue Sword) would make for an exceptional evening.
7. Please My Palate
Hiring a personal chef to prepare meals for the few nights a week I am home would be unforgettable.
8. Send Me Packing
A man who recognizes the importance of my time with the girls is a keeper. A long weekend spa getaway for my sisters and me would be perfection.
Tomorrow: the user's guide to laying pipe in Maria Bartiromo.

How about I send you, your girlfriends, and your parents to Kandahar, Afghanistan where you can really put that mountain bike to use. And if you get captured and gang-raped by the Taliban as an infidel whore while your girlfriend and parents are raped and beheaded. After your dramatic rescue and the resulting horrible facial disfigurement from being caught in the crossfire, then maybe the Yoga instructor can work out all the stress of that trauma while you relate this story to Cormac McCarthy and Don DeLillo over a nice steak dinner at Peter Luger?
You c**t.

Posted by Novice , Jan 03, 2008 6:04PM
5:43: Aw hell. I had a choice between the three and elected for GQ for the better sense of style than Esquire and the lower Log Cabin Republican quotient than Details. Please tell me that I'm not turning into Gore Vidal.
I'll echo RB on Men's Vogue. No more bad news, please.

You are not turning into Gore Vidal.
Posted by , Jan 03, 2008 6:09PM
@5:51 RB I would say gay. But that means it has a gay sensibility, not that everyone that reads it is gay.
If you enjoy it, I would consider you evolved and confident. (Different from a metrosexual, which is just any guy with a good haircut and clean nails). You may even have a gay friend or two. Cool, fit guys that you knew from college when they were still straight and are now fun to hang with on occasion. Maybe even grab an after work drink with at Therapy and laugh after about how you got hit on by some analyst from GS with hot pecs.
Posted by Random Banker , Jan 03, 2008 6:45PM
Well I have no problem with "the gays", I don't even mind closet cases like SlimJim. That being said, I don't think Men's Vogue, or Esquire or even Details is any more "gay" than any fashion forward magazine would be. In other words, just cause I'm hot doesn't make everyone else gay... you know what I'm sayin, player?

I bet she'll be a fully 'reformed' rug muncher in 2 years time- she already loks haggard, and that with apprx. $5k of makeup and 'work' per day pumped into this slag daily on the bullhorn network.

Posted by , Jan 03, 2008 8:42PM
RB @6:45 Key words are "no more gay than any other fashion forward mag.." Fashion forward is just not something 90% of straight guys care about or don't even notice, so therefore its gay. They dress in a way thats not offensive, possibly attractive (on them at least if they're good looking guys), but no way fashion forward. As I said above, the fact that you're in that 10% doesn't mean yr gay. Just that yr a little more out there than most straight guys when it comes to matters of style.

Don't you think that magazine belongs to her bf?
I think Erin is not trying to impress anyone.It must have been that the boyfriend has been doing those stuff otherwise ,she won't admit in Washinton Post Interview that she "is in a relationship" with a guy in financial service.
carney, anything about Erin makes the "comments"so busy.
Posted by Anal_yst , Jan 03, 2008 10:22PM
Few points, no particular order:
1. Girl meet me in Town Hall 117. RB, if you're lucky we'll let you watch...
2. I'd venture to say at least 1/2 of the younger crowd on the Street is at least subconsciously fashion-forward. Just because most aren't fashion snobs that demand Zenga/Gucci -or nothing doesn't mean ya can't be well-dressed. Or well kempt/in shape (although ib hours/seamlessweb seriously f#ck with makes that difficult)

from the other half:
Erin Burnett – What The Boys Wanted Her to Say
1. Scratch Your Bag
Any guy who can touch himself in front of me really has a great level of comfort with himself. I admire that.
2. Buy Me a New Rack
You could unlock my heart by helping me get bigger hooters. I love to make you happy, and hope to eventually get some DD’s.
3. Do Something Special for Yourself
You are important to me, so seeing you buy round-trip business-class tickets for you and a pal to go to Vegas lets me see you taking care of #1.
4. Insult Me
My ego is too big, so I'd be impressed if you thought to tell me I was getting a bit heavy or not-quite pretty enough from time to time.
5. Help Me Work Out
Actually, referring to my fat ass in front of others would really help motivate me. Thanks in advance!
6. Edify Me
Do you know what “edify” means, lover boy? Reading is a passion of mine, so a gathering with a couple of YOUR favorite authors – William Patterson and Jenna Jameson…oh, forget it, I know you don’t read! Who needs books when you’ve got cable?
7. Find a good stripper
Hiring a woman to rub her tits in your face really helps me understand how sensitive you are.
8. Send Me Packing
A man who recognizes the importance of my time by myself. If you tell me to get lost or ignore my calls, I’ll love you even more.
Posted by annonymous , Jan 04, 2008 6:12PM
This has got to be a joke. My guess is that she has no interest in having a bf- works waaay too many hours, 6 days a week.
She was also probably laughing so hard and/or fantasizing that she could barely type this out.
Interesting choice of favorite authors...
There is no way a guy would do this for her- at least one under 75 yrs old and she KNOWS that.
Posted by , Jan 04, 2008 10:56PM
Add on to Buy Me List:
# 9. Buy me CITI Group, Morgan Stanley,Merryl Lynch,Bear Sterns and Blackstone for not only you'll be my hero but by the whole nation as well.That way you'll be assured the Bestman job on my wedding with CEO of a Sovereign Wealth Fund.
# 10. Convince the Fed to cut .50 bps. You'll get a kiss from me everyday until the next fed meeting because this is the only way I can save myself from a scary Cramer Fed rant.Besides, I don't know where I kept my infamous giraffe outfit that nobody likes.

My beautiful and gorgeous wife never asked for anything material. She got to travel not business class but First Class all over the world and staying at the very best Hotels. We went to the top Health-Spas, I offered to pay for her parents’ trips (they refused), etc. Erin will have asked/demanded how many children to have, what names to put, what religion to have, and so on. At the end I wouldn't have any children of my own and all my money would be gone. Erin, the first thing you should ask is loyalty and trust but not Trust Funds.
