Make sure your wardrobe is timeless
By now Marty McFly’s puffy red vest, typically blue dungarees, Calvin Klein underwear, and rad Nike sneakers have become as embedded in our cultural fabric as the DeLorean itself. It’s an iconic outfit that is quintessential Americana; a true classic that made as much sense in 1955 as it did in 1985.
We can relate to a guy in blue jeans and sneakers, an outfit that can go from hunky to boy-next-door depending on the occasion. Remember, your sartorial choices say a lot about who you are; if you’re hopping from one trend to the next in an effort to impress women, it suggests that you’re unsure of yourself, fleeting and generally a poseur. So, for our dating tips for men from Marty McFly, we suggest that when you’re selecting an outfit, keep it simple, classic and timeless.
You only get one chance to make a first impression
More than just a part of our dating tips for men from Marty McFly, we can’t stress the importance of making a good first impression. It’s a rule that applies to all aspects of life — from job interviews to first dates, a first impression has the ability to color the way someone perceives you for the rest of your life. We’re certain there have been times that things didn’t always go as planned (i.e., your girlfriend’s parents didn’t like your “I’m banging your daughter T-shirt” and your new boss didn’t like your “I’m banging your daughter T-shirt,” etc.), but you’re not Marty McFly, whose ability to travel through time allowed him, and would theoretically allow you, to make multiple first impressions if you screw the first one up. This isn’t the movies and one shot is all you have, so make it count — unless, of course, you have a flux capacitor, which in that case go nuts.
Always stand up for yourself
Nobody calls Marty McFly chicken and gets away with it. Though some may perceive his refusal to back down from a challenge as a character flaw, we think it’s what makes Marty one of cinema’s all-time greatest heroes. The ladies love it too. When Marty stood up to Biff to defend his mother’s honor, she fell for him. Ditto goes for Marty’s dad, George. This is one of those dating tips for men that are as old as time. There’s nothing a woman likes more than a man who’s confident, self-assured and willing to stand up for himself. You may not always have to go to the same extremes that Marty did (if someone challenges you to a game of chicken, politely decline), but the next time there’s a hair in you chilled cucumber soup, don’t be afraid to return it. She’ll respect you for it — trust us.
Get a nice set of wheels
What do you call a man who thinks that women don’t like nice cars? A cyclist. What do you call a woman that says she doesn’t like nice cars? A liar. And yes, we made those up. Marty McFly understood the importance of a nice set of wheels, and they don’t get much nicer than the DeLorean, which was unlike anything the auto world had ever seen when it was released in the early ’80s. Though that’s the car that gets all the attention, the true apple of Marty’s eye was the Toyota 4x4 truck that he finally gets his hands on when he returns to 1985. Marty would be the first to tell you that there’s nothing like rolling up to a girl’s house in a shiny vehicle to boost your confidence, and your chances. Remember: When shopping for a car, a spacious backseat is crucial — for carrying your golf clubs, of course.
Develop a talent
When Marty McFly stepped on stage at the Enchantment Under The Sea dance, picked up a guitar, and tore through his version of “Johnny B. Goode” (including that unforgettable audience-silencing solo), he displayed a near prodigious skill level with the ax, usually associated with rock ’n’ roll’s all-time greats. Sure, his own band, The Pinheads, couldn’t even crack their high school’s Battle of The Bands competition, but Marty’s talent as a musician made him irresistible to his girlfriend, Jennifer. Looks, money and a sense of humor will get you far, but nothing gets the ladies going like a guy with talent. Take a girl for an expensive dinner, and you’re good. Bust out a ukulele after dessert and sing a Beatles song in Portuguese, and you’re golden.
Think about the future
If we were offered an opportunity to peer into our future, we’re not quite certain we’d accept. What if we had become a balding, noxious host of a right-wing chat show? Or even worse, fat? Would we be shocked into action or too depressed to go on? When Jennifer saw a 47-year-old Marty McFly mired in a dead-end job, a crumbling marriage and a victim of low self-esteem, she warned him and helped change their future together for the better. We will never have this opportunity (unless Google’s time travel division finally takes off), so it’s important to make wise decisions in the present. Nowhere is this more critical than in matters of the heart — so when picking a partner make sure you can envision yourself buying a house, having children and growing old with them. Unless you just want to have fun, and in that case make sure you wrap it up.
Be assertive
In one of the film’s most memorable scenes, Marty is giving his own father advice on how to pick up his mother to ensure that he is one day born. It sounds like a lot to wrap your head around, but it’s this kind of storytelling ingenuity that makes Back to the Future a modern classic. Marty tells George to just approach Lorraine and ask her out, say the first thing that comes to his mind — you know, tell her she’s beautiful (girls love that stuff). It’s simple, but good advice. Women like a man that’s assertive and goes after what he wants, not someone that sits idly watching opportunities pass him by. It’s also logical: If you don’t ask her out, you won’t go out with her. See how that works?
