mating colors

aspects of a person which makes them attractive to the opposite sex.

for a girl, it's usually how she dresses or wears her hair or makeup.

for a guy, it can be good clothes, a nice watch, or even a flashy or sporty car.
when Tom moved into a building where there were mostly young single females, he decided to trade in his dodge caravan for a corvette.

consider the source

another way of saying that any information recieved from a certain source can't be taken seriously because that source has been wrong before, or lacks credibility.
"hey did you hear Elvis is still alive?? he was seen at a casino in vegas last week! actually they say he's even the owner!!"

"get out! where'd you hear that from?"

"oh I read it in the enquirer."

"hah! I should have known."

"what, you mean you don't believe it??"

"are you kidding?? I mean, come on...consider the source already!"

never bring food to a buffet

an expression which basically asserts that it is unnecessary (and often self-defeating) to be accompanied by someone of the opposite sex to an event where there are likely to be a significant amount of unattached people who are potentially looking for an opportunity to "hook up".

applies of course to those who are not married or not in a steady, long term relationship.

"so, are you going to Darren and Tracey's wedding? I hear there will be lots of hot singles there!"

"for sure. maybe I should bring along a date, what do you think?"

"no no no, my friend......remember....NEVER bring food to a buffet!"
