my girlfriend here!”

A truly
platonic experience for
men, Hooters presents hostesses
with very interesting personalities |
That came straight from the horse’s (or would
stud be more appropriate?) mouth. The stud, who was a guest at the
newly opened Hooters Restaurant, was like a kid let loose in a candy
store. His eyes kept on darting around, his head swinging from left
to right. The sight of The Hooters Girls in their signature uniform
of bright orange super short shorts, tight white tank tops with the
Hooters logo and owl on it, scrunched up white socks and whiter than
white tennis shoes was too much for him. He didn’t know where to
look first. With all different shapes and personalities that the
Hooters Girls come in—from the lithe kick ass chick, to the lean
athletic type and the downright curvaceous funny girl, it is nearly
impossible for a man not to look with a wide-eyed stare.
As if this weren’t enough, when the lively and
bubbly Hooters Girls get up on the chairs or on the bar to dance to
YMCA, they are actually entertaining. Though they do this every
hour, their smiles never falter and they just never seem to get
tired. Each performance is as energetic as the last one and never
fails to make people stop mid-meal to watch. Obviously, these girls
love what they do and take great pride in wearing the famous Hooters
uniform which has become an American pop culture icon. It shows in
their service and in the attention they give to each of their
guests. These girls are having fun and want the guests to have fun
as well.
The original Hooters restaurant concept, which
has not changed in the last 25 years, of beautiful women serving
good food and cold beer has had the men coming in droves with
cameras in tow to take photos or have their photos taken with the
Hooters Girls. (The other day, the members of a photography club
came in and simply started photographing the place and the Hooters
Girls). It is easy to imagine why a man would be hesitant to bring
another female interest to Hooters. Why bring one woman when you can
be and bask in the company of many women?
Well, for most females, being taken out on a
date at Hooters (especially for the critical 1st to 3rd dates) will
mean one of two things:
1. He’s politely managing her expectations in
a seemingly chivalrous manner. In short, he’s trying to tell her
that friendship is all he wants. (A man who only wants friendship?
Really now.)
2. He thinks she can guzzle beer and appreciate
other women as well as any of his other guy friends. In short,
she’s one of the boys.
There are of course, girls who would equally
enjoy Hooters.
• The girl who is confident and sure of
herself: Either she knows that she’d look good in the Hooters
uniform herself and doesn’t feel threatened by the throngs of
women parading around it…Or she’s really not the jealous type.
• The girl who wants to bring you to Hooters
to ‘test’ a man: This is the girl wants to know how a man will
hold up when surrounded by so many attractive and attentive women.
If a man can discipline himself enough not to be distracted and
occasionally drop his jaw, he can turn the situation around and tell
her that even with a hundred other Hooters Girls in the room,
she’s the only one he really wants to pay attention to.
• Any girl who wants to have fun: Hooters does
actually have a fun—family like atmosphere. You can eat, sing,
dance, learn or try to hula hoop before, during and after your meal.
A lot of families go there for lunch or dinner and the Hooters Girls
pay as much attention to the kids, teaching them how to hula hoop,
as they do to the men and all the other guests. The bright, very
well lit restaurant with a view of the bay (and the fabulous sunset)
adds to the wholesome kind of beachfront look.
3. A girl with a hearty appetite for good food
and cold drinks to go with it.
The Buffalo Chicken Wings are as famous as the
Hooters Girls themselves and are reason enough for many to visit the
restaurant. The desserts like the Caramel Fudge cake, which was
specially concocted for Hooters, and the Chocolate Cake with
Raspberry Dressing are sublime.
If a guy’s girlfriend falls in any of these
categories, he can, by all means, bring her to Hooters. If she
loudly cheers and playfully ogles the Hooters Girls right along with
him, then he can consider himself lucky for having a girlfriend who
is also his buddy.
