• The Advisor
• Chip Rowe
In September, the Advisor quotes a "Presbyterian minister we know" who offers his thoughts on the best church for a reader to join should he want to meet women. This is an unorthodox question to ask of a clergyman, which is why it's so great that the Advisor roomed during his freshman year of college with a future seminarian. We withheld his name because he ministers to a flock in a relatively small town in Wisconsin, and there is no sense in rocking the ark. He seemed disappointed to discover he had not been identified, but it was for his own good—during a visit to our New York offices, he had confided his plans to share this particular question and response with other members of his Rotary Club and also to pin it to the church bulletin board. The reverend later wrote to say that as he rode the elevator to the street, he informed the other man aboard, "That was the Playboy Advisor and I'm a Presbyterian minister." To which the guy replied, after a beat, "They're both good reads."
Later, as he sat on a bench in Greenwich Village engrossed in the latest issue, our friend was approached by a "big-haired gum chewer” (and child of God) who asked if she could see the Centerfold. He replied, "Sure—I just hadn't gotten to it yet because I'm reading." To which she countered that she had noticed this and been impressed. And from that exchange we add another strategy to our growing list of ways to meet women.
