No, I don’t think I will

It gets funnier:

> (…) position yourself as close as possible to a group of young women and then shut your eyes and listen.

Like a cartoon character faking being asleep. Yes, I’m sure those teenagers won’t find that creepy or weird at all and will continue speaking as if you weren’t there.

Though in fairness, they’re quoting a woman. Maybe the interviewer was also a woman and they were really speaking one-to-one, not thinking that specific section would be quoted.

I was almost surprised that anyone printed that 'advice' but then I remembered it's ABC News Online, Australia's most trusted news service. It's probably a misquote and/or the person who they thought they were quoting actually died three years ago and had a completely different name.

In any case, barf me out. No way. Gag me with a spoon.

Barf me out too, indeed.
