Mike Damone: First of all Rat, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.

LMAO. This is hilarious.

I can't imagine how hard I would laugh if someone tried to put on Led Zeppelin IV as mood music.

Part of the gag in the movie is that Ratner turns on "Kashmir" from Physical Graffiti.

Ha! I was at a restaurant over the weekend seated close to a couple who were clearly on their first date, and the guy ordered for both of them. I thought it was really weird.

Eh, except it seems like that's highly wishful thinking, coming from a community obsessed and laser focused with getting women to sleeping with them.

Makes a catchy slogan though

I feel like that's something that men have been told they should do, that actually comes off as really awkward and cringey to women IRL.

I think I had a guy try to do that once, but I usually have to modify my orders. So he was like, "She'll have the steak, blah blah, thanks."

And then I ruined it cause I was like, "Oh, and actually I had a couple questions. Can I get the sauce on the side for the salad?"

And then proceeded to ask my questions.

It totally ruined the effect, and I think it prevented the "power balance" from being creepily shifted.

I wasn't really aware that I was doing it, but it worked out nicely. My date was the one who looked flustered.

Haha I would never try to order for a date. Not sure I ever went out with anyone who had a simple order.
