If You're Hot For: Bros
Still yearn to relive your college years? How about…forever? Hey, whatever floats your boat — we don’t discriminate. These guys definitely land the ladies! Impress them with your sports intel or ability to throw back a few cold ones.
They Said:
"I’m looking for someone who doesn’t play games and isn’t all over every other guy at the bar trying to make me jealous. As for breaking the ice, compliments are good, or ask to buy me a drink for a change."
– Robert Bow, an account executive, lives in Nob Hill.
"A good way to approach me is with a challenging insult. She has to get along with my friends. Fireball shots are mandatory, but honestly I’m not really looking for wife material at the bar."
– Soloman Reda, a business analyst, lives in North Beach.
