'Old fashioned' Carmen Electra wants guys to make the first move
Carmen Electra has been offering dating advice to readers of Playboy.
Carmen Electra prefers guys to "make the first move".
The Baywatch actress takes an "old-fashioned" approach to romance and wouldn't dream of going up to a man she's interested in, although she admitted she would try and catch his eye in other ways.
Offering advice to readers, she told Playboy magazine: "I’m old fashioned, so I prefer if the man makes the first move, although I have been known to do a little walk, sway the hips a little bit, you know, bat my eyelashes a little like a butterfly, and keep on walking. If they are really interested in you, they’ll talk to you or slip you their number."
The 54-year-old star suggested men who want to date "middle-aged women" should get in contact "appropriately" and warned last-minute invitations are always a bad idea, particularly late at night.
She said: "We do appreciate texting or calling appropriately.
"What you really need to do is make sure you don’t call her and say, 'Hey, come meet me at a bar right now,' when it’s midnight. That’s a huge no-no. A woman likes to get ready, and she needs to make plans.
"Maybe call her early in the day and say, 'Hey, let’s go out tonight. I want to take you out. I’ll be there to pick you up.'
"Something like that sounds a lot better than, 'Hey, meet me at the bar', you know? No, it’s not happening."
Carmen believes a man's mind and his sense of humour is what makes him "sexy", rather than his physique.
Asked if six-packs are "really that sexy", she replied: "I don’t think they’re necessarily that sexy. I honestly think a man’s mind, how funny he is, makes a man sexy, but it’s not always about the six-pack.
"But a lot of really gorgeous women are dating guys that have a little Buddha belly, so I don’t see anything wrong with it. I’ve dated a Buddha belly before, once or twice, and it’s a dad bod vibe for sure. If you’re into them, you’re into them."
