Why go to a place where you other people are coming with their dates? Ah.. to go to a place where others will see you with your dates.

You can turn this into a real spectator sport and set betting odds on couples you see getting engaged. You can watch their body language for clues to better predict if they like each other or are dying to get away.

another body language point for lounges — and this is a researched fact. Usually the light is dim, which causes pupil dilation. People are wired to find dilated pupils attractive, and also pupil dilation is a sign of being attracted. Also candlelight is flattering — another thing that may be found in lounges. So one has an atmosphere conducive to such signs — even if it is just a trick of the light.

Hehehe. I’ve been on a total of 3 lounge dates in as many years. I’ve been to the Marriot Marquis with friends a few times, though. Sometimes we keep a running tally of how many dates we see.

I’ve mostly been to restaurants, coffee, and other types of dates. Lounges aren’t my thing.

AHA! I was wondering who those 2 crazy girls were in the marriot. You should’ve given out the survey; I was dead bored. 9and yes, the waiters know me already). Thanks for your amazing blog.

Yoni i have to say you really detract from this blog and sometimes it’s just frustrating to read the otherwise good discussion that comes after a post here on the comments because of you. You have your own blog.

Oh, and why couldn’t you just say “the one that was wearing a black wool coat as opposed to the one that was wearing a tan trench coat.” ??? ;P

Hah hah hah- I get a grand appearence on the bad4 blog… My fifteen minutes of fame…. Thanks, bad4!!! However- ahem ahem!!- I have a few corrections to make.

1) I do not squeal. Pigs do that. I don’t. Speaking in a quick and high pitched tone is NOT squealing.
2) When you said to bring binoculars, you sounded really serious! Not that I would’ve cared anyway.
3) My sum total of lounge dates is *one*. So there.

And btw, the French tramp ceiling *was* tacky. Very tacky.
