Some Advice

Gentlemen, my brothers, let me impart unto you three valuable pieces of advice. Following all three of them will guarantee that your female companion will not be displeased. These three guidelines will help you arrive to closer to your goal – but they may fall short. They are best used when in doubt. When the right choice is unclear, think back on these rules and you will not go wrong.

     1.    Tuck it in.

There are times when there is no question – the shirt is tucked in or tucked out. The choice is clear and everyone is good to go. The reality is that most everyday situations are not obvious. You might think you know which way to go, but you need a second opinion. This is your second opinion. If you’re unsure, tuck it in. Going to a nice dinner but you might hit up a club later? Tuck it in. Going out to watch the game? Don’t. Meeting up with coworkers after the office? Tuck it in. Weekend coffee break? Nah. A man who has tucked his shirt in looks smarter. It’s always the little things that elevate a gentleman to GQ status. People will take you seriously, including yourself. Sure, you run the risk of looking like a dork but that’s okay. Nerds, geeks, or dorks – whatever you want to call them – they’re making a comeback and they’re first in line to catch the women you want to be with. Smart has never been sexier and the way you show it (or fake it) is by tucking it in. Clearly, we’re talking shirts here but if ever in doubt in any situation and you don’t know where to start: tuck it in.

     2.    Moisturize.

Moisturize, often and well. You’re smart enough to figure out where. For starters, begin with the obvious: elbows, hands, ankles, face, knees and heels.  Yes, men are rough but that pertains to the inside (mostly). Your first impression should grab her by all five senses: smart looks, a sensual smell, a gripping tone and a smooth touch (oh, and carry Altoids just in case).  The sense of touch is underrated today. If you master your sense of touch, you have enormous capabilities in your hands: you have the power to calm nerves and gain trust on a more genuine level. The way a person physically feels to the touch can directly affect someone’s emotions. Can you be the King Midas of the heart? It sounds like a pansy idea but it’s important enough where she’ll notice. A soft tickle where you know she’ll smile is the most effective catalyst to getting to wherever you want to go. It’s a small investment that will pay big rewards. She’ll appreciate it every ounce of it. Now don’t go overboard. Stay away from the fruity shit and stick to neutral fragrances. You’re a busy man who takes time to groom because you don’t intend your first impression to be your last. And with that, you don’t want to become her shopping buddy to The Body Shop.

     3.    She’s Right.

Don’t argue because in the end, she’s right. Yes, you could be right too. It’s possible to both be right, but she’s more right. Women just know what’s going to happen next. They have this magical ability to know how a situation will end. How many times have you seen a male fortune-teller? Even if she’s blatantly wrong, don’t argue. Tell her she’s right and be suave with the situation. If you can find a way to tell her she’s right and wrong at the same time, quit reading and start sharing. Make it a learning opportunity for both of you? There have been plenty of times when the only woman in the room has made a suggestion and the men scramble around and try all sorts of seemingly logical experiments and in the end – they would have saved a lot of time and effort had they just listened to her. She doesn’t know everything and neither do you, but to make a wise decision, to be efficient with what you have – make your decision together. Trust her as much as you can because if she’s with you, she’s made one right decision and that’s all it takes.
