[Sp1kez]

Where do you guys get your business cards and what do you put on them?

Is there soemthing that you can put on a business card that will get a girl's attention?

hey great question....they might move this to the anything section, but to answer your concern....

if you want to put something on your business card, put something on it that will relate to clients knowing that you care about them in the honest and sincere way. Leave business for caring, and putting other peoples needs and wants above yours, and let your personal life with women be about the opposite.

I meant cards that you give to girls you meet..........you know instead of giving them your nubmer on their cell or w/e (i know u shouldnt give ur number to girl etc but it has worked fine for me) .

I guess they would be called Pimp cards?

I once had a girl give me her business card, and on the back side, stamped in yellow ink (which I couldn't see in the club; I saw it the next day), was the word YES. I thought it was pretty slick.

My admin orders my cards for me when I need them, so I don't know the name of the printer; I'd imagine it's someone local here in Seattle. Go with heavy stock (anything other than white) and raised lettering. Don't be cheap, and don't get rainbows or American flags or any $#!+ like that. Your name, what you do, and how to reach you. You can get a couple hundred nice ones made up for fifty bucks.

I just had an associate give me a metal business card, on gold-colored metal. Looks trick. I can't imagine what they cost, though.

Something I've seen lately, and mostly in D.C., is a plain business card that just has your name and your phone / email; no mention of what you do or for whom. Personally, I think it's lame but it seems to be all the rage in the Adams Morgan scene. I've seen this in Europe, too. You might try something like this if you just want a "Pimp Card."

Hope this helps.

no offense man, but any girl that gives out her # so often that she needs a card for it is a sl*t. hope you double bagged it.

Believe me, bro, the same thought crossed my mind. I play safe anyway; but the more forward they are, the safer I tend to be.

Unless you're business card (truthfully) reads "President of the United States of America" or something equally impressive... I'd say that you're still better off getting her phone number.

Good point, BrotherAP. If your business card has a mundane job on it, it's better to not use it as a prop.

I'm a (newly promoted) Director for a consulting firm that has an office on each coast and two more in Europe (all listed on my card along with the HQ's main address in Geneva), and my work gives me tons of cool stories to tell. Subsequently, I shoot my card out like confetti. And it explains my shoes.

If yours says "Shipping / Receiving Associate," you might not want to flaunt it as much as I do mine.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a D.C.-style "Pimp Card" -- name, email, AIM, phone -- for those with more mainstream gigs.

There is a difference between a business card and a social card. A business card is related to your work and has all the usual info on it, while a social card mainly consist of your name and a phone number.

This is true. they do it like that here with the cards......because here there are actually corporate personel who have thier cards designed like that.
