At The End of The Day

I recently spotted the very same title on this website I surfed. It got me curious because it was an online men magazine and I thought, Well, let’s see what they know women.

As it was, the writer was a guy. The moment I saw the name, my eyebrows started their ascent. But I thought, Why, let’s just see. I thought the article would be something like Brian Alexander would write, you know simple and yet, insightful.

Am sorry to say it was very far from what I thought it would be. Full of nonsense like maintaining sexual tension… For male readers who are reading, you might be a little lost here but as for female ones, I’m sure you know exactly what I mean. The biggest bullsh*t on Earth.

Let’s just get one thing straight first, guys. There is no such thing as a sexual tension between you and the babe of your dreams until you are definitely in her radar. Savvy?

(Yeah, those sad words about her not knowing you even exist could be true.)

Wait a second though. I am not here to help you reminisce about that painful days in High School when the personification of Beauty looked you down her exquisite nose and dashed all of your fantasies into nothingness.

It’s not like you have to be The Football Star or The Rich Guy. There are some girls who might put you in the three categories of being The Football Star, The Rich Guy or The Nothing. But do not despair, not all of us are like that.

Still, in our eyes, you guys are indeed categorized.

Yup, you are either

1. The Creep or
2. The Who’s That Again?, or
3. The Yeah, I Know Him from Work/School/etc., or
4. The I Kinda Like Him, or
5. The Cute Guy or
6. The Smoking Hunk.

Now, The Smoking Hunk category is reserved for guys like Leo, Mark Wahlberg, Robert de Niro, Jean Reno, etc. You get the picture. If, you are lucky enough to look like either one of them, you might consider yourself in the Smoking category. But then again you wouldn’t be reading this. You are too busy out there maintaining your girls.

Going back to the topic, we can start talking "maintaining sexual tension" and such moronic things when you are quite certain you are either in the Yeah I Kinda Like Him or The Cute Guy. Believe me, trying to maintain sexual tension and same such things while you are nowhere there will earn you a spot in the Creep category.

First, let’s see if you are in either of the two categories.

1. Does she smile when she sees you?
2. Does she usually laugh or smile at your jokes?
3. Does she usually notice if you’ve just had a haircut?
4. Has she ever teased you about any of your habits?
5. Has she ever asked you if you like her outfit/hair?
6. Has she ever complimented you on something physical?

If you answer up to 3 yeses, congratulations, you’re I-Kinda-Like-Him Guy. If you’ve got more than 3, especially if you answer yes to number 4,5 and 6, skip reading and wait for my next installment (teehee!), where you can read about how to make her think you are her personal Smoking Hunk.

If you’ve got no to each question, do not lose hope. Most of the time, we simply don’t notice guys because we are either in a relationship, or going through a heartbreak or too distracted by another guy. Do not think that we see you as a loser just because we don’t notice you. Women are genetically programmed to focus on one man - that’s why it’s hard for you if we’re already attracted to someone else.

It is hard, yes, but still possible. It’s up to you whether this girl is worth it. If you are game, here are some ways to help you get into her radar.

Number One: Be A Friend
I am not talking about the sharing kind of things. Just try to be someone she would acknowledge. Remember that she doesn’t know you from Adam. Even if you have been working at the same building for months, chances are she hasn’t noticed you yet (based on the number of NOs you’ve given to my list) and you need to take things one step at a time.

Try and catch her eye when you pass each other down the hallway or wherever. When she sees you, give a small nod (or smile if you’re the confident type) and - this is important - keep on going. She’ll see you as someone friendly, not some creep who’s looking to make a pass. Better yet, she’ll wonder about you. Your nod and/or smile will tell her that you’ve noticed her around and it’s flattering and already you’ve scored a point. Way to go.

Number Two: Try to Impress Her
The keyword here is try. The average women are not looking for Superman. And when I say try, I mean nothing crazy.

While you’re establishing acquaintanceship with her, her initial wonderment will develop into casual curiosity. She’ll start observing you. And because you’re not yet good friends, what she’ll observe is physical appearance. By all means, try to look neat. That’s all we ask. You saw how quick the metro sexual thing died down, right?

If you are naturally floppy or your job makes it impossible for you to be neat, try to develop a clean habit. If you are a clean kind of man, don’t worry if things explode at the office and you’re covered in coffee or mud or whatever, we can still tell that you take a shower everyday.

Quick tip: Wear a white shirt. Most women find white shirt on a man irresistible. If not irresistible, nice. White shirt + a smile = yum. If you don’t have the cool confidence of a rock star, do NOT wear black.

Number Three: Really Impress Her
Guys always seem to think that the way to go are flashy car and plastics. Yes, there are girls who look for those things in a man. Well, that’s neither here or there since there is an easier way to really impress her and more than worth the try: Let her see you with your friends.

Here are people who know the real you and really like you. You don’t have to do anything - the way your friends treat you, joke with you, tease you will be more than enough testimonial on how good a person you are. That is what a girl worth impressing wants to see. Not your car, not your money.

Now I have to stop and continue later because this really getting so long and I don’t want to bore you guys. Hasta la vista!
