How to Meet Women in the Grocery Store

The supermarket is not generally considered a hunter’s paradise. The prey has already been caught, processed and shelved; not much of a challenge there. Toss a few groceries in the cart and your work is done. However, there is one type of prey that walks the isles in abundance: the human female. You see them around every corner, grazing, reaching, bending down to grab something on the bottom shelf. For the unattached male of the species, these rituals can be quite enticing. While many members of this herd have retired from the mating dance years ago, the alert male is likely to find available females to his liking. Yet this male is accustomed to making his approach in a dimly lit club, emboldened by alcohol and encouraged by friends. Can he still make his move in the bright glow of florescent lights, sober and surrounded by cans of soup and paper towels?
