Excerpts from The Book of Love:



The Low Road


Women are like elephants: I like to look at them,
but I wouldn't want to own one. W.C. Fields

The course of true love never did run smooth.
Shakespeare

 

3. Men and women have completely different roles to fulfill in nature.

a. The responsibility for the procreation of the human race bears primarily on the shoulders of the woman.
b. Women are the attractive ones; men are the attracted ones.

Nature has assigned the female and male mammal very specific, different roles in order to carry out her program. Unlike birds that pair-bond for life, most mammals are not programmed that way.

a. Because the female conceives, gestates, and bears the child, she has much more at stake and much more at risk in any coupling than does the male. The weight of responsibility for the procreation of the human race has been placed squarely on the woman's shoulders. Always remember this, because it determines much of a woman's behavior. She is in charge of this all-important task, and she therefore has to make the best choice she can amongst those males she attracts. This is why, in modern terms, women spend much more of their time than men in looking attractive---by shopping for the right clothes, makeup, hair products, and spending the time and effort to use these tools to make themselves as attractive as they can. The pressure is on them to ATTRACT and there are many modern day weapons they have at their disposal to enable them to do this, from hair color and style and makeup to clothing that accents their best attributes. So much so, that most so-called 'beautiful' models are actually quite plain looking (a blank canvas) and are a product of their makeup who you wouldn't look twice at in the street if you saw them without their makeup and fancy clothes.

b. Women instinctively know that men are visually attracted to them. In all species of animals there is always one sex that is the attracted and one that is the attractive. In humans, it is the female who is attractive and the male who is attracted. It is the female who does the advertising.

Nature's role for the human male is to be attracted to many females, but it serves no genetic purpose for her to mate with more than the one man she selects because she will only conceive from one at a time. Most males would then be rejected and have to go searching for another female they were attracted to who would have them.

40. Women like a bold approach.

If you make a bold approach or a bold gesture, you can bet you'll get her attention, make an impression, and she'll remember it, even if she plays coy in her response. This is the old "grand gesture" routine the Victorians were so mad about, and it won't go unnoticed. Those Victorians were no dummies---just look at the beautiful houses they built, and the grand sense of style they possessed about everything they did (it's certainly my favorite period, in terms of sheer beauty of expression). If you want to follow it up at a later date, she'll make time for you because she'll want more. Just reverse the situation and ask yourself if you would be flattered and would remember a confident, bold approach by a woman. Of course you would. As you will read later on, Cervantes said, "Demonstrations of love are never altogether displeasing to women..."

while Mae West said....
Too many girls follow the line of least resistance...but a good line is hard to resist.

I was in a pub and saw a gorgeous, stacked brunette talking to a good-looking guy, and couldn't take my eyes off her. I waited until he went to the bathroom, and walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "You're absolutely gorgeous," (after some Dutch courage--in fact, is was English Courage, having sunk two 20-ounce pints of English "Courage" ale!). That got a huge smile and a warm "Thank you." I made my way back to my seat before her date came back, and was rewarded with flirting glances and deep breaths and arched backs all evening until he went off again, when I got her name and she took my phone number.

The guy she was with was her husband, but I got several very nice phone calls and a lovely, surprise visit one day.

If you are moved to make a bold approach to a woman but suffer the trembles, just reverse the situation and think how you would react if she came up to you and said what you are about to say to her.....that should give you the confidence to overcome your reticence and approach her. Faint heart never won a fair lady! Go get her. She's gettable.

Remember, the more you practice this stuff---the more you DO it---the better at it you'll become, and your success rate will begin to climb like crazy.
