We see you eyeing that hottie behind the bar, or maybe it’s that cute cocktail server with the curves and all the right answers. Point is - you want to know how to pick up industry guys and girls, and MetroWize wants to help. Short of becoming a bar manager or a Bolivian narco trafficker, here's the down and dirty on how to lay your mack down on the folks who make your nights possible. Strangely enough, these same tips work on strippers. Get ready for the MetroWize guide to hooking up with the help.

For the guys:

Here is the honest truth: you aren't the only guy who likes the industry girl. Chances are you aren't even the best available choice. So what if you’re a quiet, shy guy with a heart of gold - it doesn't matter. Girls who work in clubs will chew you up and spit you out. If you're a popped collar douche bag with a sweat band on - stop reading right now and go back to the Marina. Unless you’re Josh Groban, get an edge to your Lacoste wearing ass - and if you are, thanks for reading Josh.

If you like an industry girl you have serious competition. Not from the legions of dudes like you, but from the other guys she works with, the bar next door and the rest of the USBG. Have a personality. Sorry to tell you, but shy never cuts the proverbial mustard. Shy guys might be nice, but in the world of dirty jokes and late nights, nice doesn't hold a candle to a bigger than life personality and a sparkle in the eye.

Don't be a jerk, but don't be a total pussy either. If the girl you’re into is a bartender, then buy her a shot of Fernet (Read MetroWize's Fernet Branca and A Bartender's Love Affair with it) and have a genuine talk about what interests her - booze, after hour clubs and Couture. If she’s a cocktail server, make sure she knows your table is having the most fun and ask about her favorite liquor. Don't go for the kill right away, but instead become a semi decent regular. Make friends with her, the staff and other guests. Tip well. Brag but don't boast. Know your booze (know it really, really well - MetroWize well). Try to be funny. Self deprecation is always a good thing. Remember, you’re dealing with a girl that gets hit on every second of every day - in the work place. You need to bring something new to the table.

If she’s a hostess just learn to bartend, we kid - but not really.

We’re not saying that you need to change who you are to pick up industry girls. But “normals” (i.e. people who work a 9-5 and don't drink for a living) don't understand the complexities of the night life. Yes, she’s going to drink more than you and all your college buddies. Yes, she probably has a lot of guy friends who all act like over-protective big brothers. And yes, she probably has a taste for the finer things in life. But you gotta sack up and make a move.

For the most part, the girl you continue to drunkenly stare at makes more than you, wakes up later than you and has better moves than your ex-girlfriend. Most importantly, hers’ is a lifestyle choice and you must fit in the picture. Not the other way around.
