And check it out...every one of the strategies I'm about to let you in on are all pretty much brain-dead simple, just for good measure.
1) Rally The Troops
Forget about watching some fireworks display ten miles away from your back porch.
Gather yourself AND all of your friends (male and female) who were probably going to be sitting on their own respective porches also and proactively invite them to join you on-site where the fireworks are.
This is such a simple way to get yourself OUT of the house and INTO a situation where you'll have plenty of women around, but it's an effective one nonetheless.
Even if your social circle is mostly made up of other guys, the social proof you'll get among women by being with your friends can only help you.
2) Lay It All Out...And Do So Early
From what I've seen, most of the time the parking lots for fireworks events are simply open, grassy fields pressed into service to accommodate the 4th of July crowd.
Take advantage of this by getting there early, selecting your parking spot wisely (i.e. close to where the best action is) and laying out the most massive quilt or blanket that any of your friends can get his or her hands on.
If you want to overlap a couple of them, feel free.
THEN...whenever you meet someone who's, um..."interesting" to you, it'll be easy to invite them to skip sitting on the hood of their 1998 Toyota Corolla and join you and all the "cool people" instead.
Since you've got your camp all set up where the best seats in the house are, how can you go wrong?
3) Tailgate
What's that you say? YOU'RE actually the one who's the proud pilot of a 1998 Toyota Corolla?
No worries. Call up your buddy with a pickup truck (or a decent sized SUV) and do 4th of July fireworks just like you would a college football game.
Bring the Hibachi and makes sure whatever you plan on grilling smells great.
If you're extra smart, you'll pool a few bucks with your buddies and get some cheap hotdogs and ready-made burgers that you'll be ready to "donate" to particularly interesting women who might wander close to your set-up.
It could go worse that that on a fine summer evening.
4) Be Cooler
This one could be the game changer, even if put into practice by itself independent of the other three ideas above.
Find a medium-sized cooler and stockpile it with cold sodas and bottled water.
If you make sure they're cold ahead of time, you won't even need to waste space with much ice. After all, the whole fireworks event won't last more than two hours--and that includes "prelim" time.
You can get the El Cheapo brand of drinks if you want, but make sure you get some different varieties, including diet versions.
Then, get another buddy and go "on patrol" about 20 or 25 minutes before the fireworks actually start. Each of you grab a handle on the cooler and get moving.
Whenever you see women who could be potentially interesting, tell them you're in charge of making sure they've got a cold drink.
Can you see how all four of these strategies work together masterfully?
You've gotten to the venue early with the right setup, and you've literally "set the stage" (i.e. a blanket) so that YOUR place is THE place to be.
Then, instead of sitting around waiting for something to happen you actively move around,even as others instinctively stay put wherever they planted themselves and their cars.
Put the whole plan together--even as uncomplicated as it is--and you'll be guaranteed to have a better chance at meeting all of the hotties than anyone else.
And if you decide that one or a few of them are worth hanging out with after the fireworks are done, invite them out for ice cream or whatever afterwards.
Who knows? Maybe the true "fireworks" are yet to come...
Let all the other dudes go home and watch reruns of "Scrubs" instead, right?
