Five tips for single guys this festive season

It’s the most exciting time of year. I mean, the weather is beautiful, the bank accounts are topped up, and for some reason, everyone is just jolly and happy.

But, single life can be a bit daunting at this time of year. No chick to buy you a Christmas present, only mom or dad – how sad. All your mates are in town with their wives and girlfriends, and you are always the third wheel, but what if I told you that being single during the festive season actually has its pro’s and you can use it to your advantage?

Here’s how:

Change your name

I'm not saying go do a new ID book and make it legal - NO, but operate on a different name this festive season. This makes it easier for you to be free and out there. People meet each other during the festive period, so you don’t want this type of conversation to happen: “Oh my word I met this guy Sky last night, do you know him?” - “Yes, and please do me a favour, stay away”. You see what I mean? Your game is ruined. So drop your name for the festive season and use another name. Like for me, this festive season I’m SKHUMBUZO.

Practice your beer pong skills 

This is for the boytjies! Trust me this works. The number of parties and braais I’ve been to and how I’ve noticed that being the greatest beer pong player can get you a lot of attention from the ladies. Girls like drinking games and almost every braai has beer pong. If you have mad skills on beer pong she will want to be on your team and WALLA, she’s standing next to you for about 25mins and you can get your mack game going while impressing in beer pong. 

Go to the beaches 

Bro, girls are on that “summer body” from like August to be ready for the festive season. So they will all be at the beach showing that body off. You are single and ready to mingle, so go find her at the beach. 

Suns out, Guns out

KZN - and especially Durban, has the ultimate weather at this time of the year and 95% of the time the sun will be out. Rock that vest, shave the armpits, and let those guns show. If you lack the looks, expose those arms.

Have the best songs on your phone

Single guy + Suns out guns out + Epic music = ladies come crawling.

Be that guy who plays his phone at the braai. Ladies love a man with a good taste in music. Conversations about “who sings that song” and “who’s playing that song” can lead to numbers exchanging and BOOM, the rest is history. 

Gents, in closing, try one of these and you can thank me later. Just remember to always respect the ladies, please.
