What’s the sexiest body language a guy can speak at a bar if he wants to get a girl to notice him? You have to look like you’re having a good time without drawing too much attention and not pouting or sulking. Girls want to have fun. If you can get them to laugh you can get them to do anything.

What about a girl? Make a point to walk by him.

Sexiest pick-up line you’ve ever heard? I don’t think pick-up lines are sexy, but the funniest thing is when they whip out a wad of cash and hold it there in front of the girl. That’s so bad.

Editor’s Note: Now, Yosh Shartin may not have been chosen one of our Sexiest Bartenders, but he was the only nominee to have a slew of poems written in his honor, thanks to his Dirty Gerund friends at Ralph’s who held (and heavily promoted!) a dedication challenge in February. Below is the winning poem by Mandi Rackers.

This is my confession
To making stalking my profession
And I feel I need to mention
That this man is so sexy
I always order far too much whiskey
Just to gaze upon him
Cuz-damn-that tshirt fits so nicely
And to whomever made facebook, thank you!
I love it so much I write a haiku-

Yosh is on facebook
I stare at sexy pictures
Stalking on facebook

When Yosh pours the drinks
I can’t help but think,
Was that something in his eye
Or did he just throw me a wink?
I get so excited to see Yosh on the grill
If you want a burger master, he fits the bill
And even though he calls me a hippie
when I order my veggie burger
Yosh is Worcester’s sexiest bartender!
Who else could put up with the ruckus at Ralph’s Diner?!?
