Go ugly early

Pseudoscience of love - Go ugly early
The "go ugly early" strategy is another approach used by unscrupulous men in a nightclub. Some men realise that they are not going to score with a hot chick, so they might as well go for more aesthetically challenged woman in the first place. This has a number of advantages:

  1. It is not as obvious as the "10 to 2" method of starting at the top and working your way down. This can torpedo your chances with many women who feel that you are only talking to them because you couldn't do any better (which is true!). By hitting on them early however, they are more likely to think that you actually like them, so your chances of success will be higher.
  2. It allows you to select what could be described as the best of a bad lot. If you wait for 1.50am, you'll have to make do with what's left over at that stage. By making approaches earlier, you have your pick of the chicks at this level.
  3. You have time to lower her inhibitions by getting her drunk. This will increase your chances of scoring with her later on.
  4. When you hit on such a woman early, you're not as drunk as you would be at 1.50am. This will increase your chances of scoring with her at the end of the night, even though at that point, you will probably have had to get as drunk as possible!
  5. When the end of the night does come, she will look as good to you through your beer goggles as some of the good looking chicks who would have turned you down earlier.
This unsavoury approach is also used by guys who haven't had any action for a while and are desperate for a shag. Again, I hang my head in shame at my fellow man! I am merely a humble chronicler, not a practitioner or advocate of such activities!

Thanks to Tiger D for suggesting this topic some time ago.

Of course, it was something he never practiced in his heyday either!!!!

Going ugly early makes practical sense. It can save time, money, and maybe a DUI. Since researchers substantiated the beer goggle effect and Mythbusters found it plausible, why not just get down to it?

Thanks for your comment!.

Unfortunately, I missed that episode, but Mythbusters is one of my favourite shows!

I love it! Go ugly early always meant (to us anyway) that you are nice and charming to a medium looking girl early in the night. Then, you troll around to see if you can do better. The problem with starting at the top of the food chain and working your way down is by the end of the night, there's almost nothing left. Because by then, even they are taken! But, if you "reserve" ugly early, you are always covered... :)

Exactly!
