When it comes to impressive manly pursuits, few things are more likely to successfully woo the ladies than a spot or rodeo bull riding. It has all the components of a textbook woo namely:
a) It’s dangerous
b) You get to dress like a legend
c) It’s got animals
b) You get to dress like a legend
c) It’s got animals
So, if you’ve got a lady in your life that you’re looking to impress, you know what you need to do…
…that’s right – learn to ride a bull!
Okay, so, let’s not waste any more time – want to know how to master a bull and win the affection (or at least the attention) of that special lady in your life? Listen up:
Bull Riding Tip #1 – Dress the Part:
To be a success at bull riding, you need to intimidate the bull and nothing is more intimidating to a bull than a well-dressed fellow. So, put some thought into your choice of cowboy shirts and boots ensemble and the bull will undoubtedly appreciate your dapper attire and give you an easy ride – which will no doubt impress the ladyfolk in attendance.
Perhaps consider vintage cowboy shirts because, if the bull that you’re riding is of a classical disposition, he will no doubt appreciate the touch. If, however, the bull looks the more rough and ready type, definitely go for a stars and stripes cowboy shirt as patriotism will surely be the way into his affections.
Cowboy shirts are the first consideration for any serious rodeo rider, of course. There will be those who suggest it’s all about skill, bravery and what-not but don’t listen to that – it’s all about the choice of cowboy shirt.
Bull Riding Tip #2 – Hold on Tight:
It may seem like an obvious point but it’s one that is worth bearing in mind – hold on tight. If you think that holding on tight makes you less of a man then our good friend gravity will soon teach you a lesson that suggests the contrary.
Bull Riding Tip #3 – Be Mentally Strong. And Strong:
When it comes to mastering a bull, you need to be mentally tough as well as physically strong. Some even say that it is 80% mental and 20% skill. Thusly, if you are a man-child with absolutely no semblance of skill, balance or bravery – bull riding may not be the calling for you. But give it a go anyway – what’s the worst that can happen??
