This is nothing Mark Grand ever dreamed of, nothing Stelting and Massen will say anything about, and nothing Mssrs. Crupi, Alur, and Malks will admit they've heard of. Floyd Marinescu is definitely keeping his mouth shut.

It's the biggest conspiracy since JFK, beef tallow, and the introduction of the short-sleeved dress shirt

But now the Fifth member of the gang of four, and the Gang of Females, bring you the truth.  (Read more about the conspiracy.)

Patterns. They're not just for software anymore.

Groundwork Patterns
Connection Patterns
  • Mediator: Create allies who provide presumed neutral positive information about you to target females.
  • Decorator for Visitor: A classic variation on making Mohammed come to the mountain. If you have interesting stuff in your cube, they will come. And they will initiate conversational state without with no effort on your part. 
  • Encapsulated Big Fat Opening: The request/response date initiation process is risky and exausts system resources, so participate in a seemingly nondate activity with the target female. Sometimes she will even do the asking.
  • Exposed Collector: There aren't any women in the computer lab, but there are in the creative writing class at the community college.
Conversational Patterns
Structural Patterns

More patterns are coming soon, as the gang of females (GoFe) transcribe and publish the original design patterns.
