Men: How to Date the Pretty Ones

John Howard
Man and woman have been attracted to each other since the beginning of our race, otherwise none of us would be here. Men have always tried to find ways of catching that beauties eye, and as a member of that emotionally challenged gender, I have to say we don't always go about it the right way.

First, we will start with the wrong way, which is exactly what most of us do. That is, try to impress. There is a difference between dressing nice for a night on the town, and renting a limousine to drive you, tipping the bouncer a twenty and slipping him a hundred. Women know when you are trying to catch their eye, don't force it. Act normal, like you would at work with a co-worker that you find attractive.

As to the right way, I'll give you three simple words that I learned from an old friend. This friend had his choice of dates throughout school and adulthood. Almost every girl and woman he dated didn't even find him attractive, they simply found these three things about him intriguing.

Honesty. This is the most important for almost all women. If you don't believe me, lie to a woman and then try to talk your way out of it. Trust me, it won't work. You are now on her bad list, and these lists are detrimental to all men. If you're out of work, simply tell her you're between jobs. When you've gained some weight, tell her why. Don't treat the woman like an online date, where anything you say can possibly be true. Also, remember, online women love honesty too, try it sometime.

Sincerity. This is similar to honesty, but not exactly. Honesty is telling the truth, sincerity is more along the lines of meaning it. When you tell a woman you find her attractive, look right in her eyes. Listen to what she says, and pay attention to what she doesn't. I've grown up with mostly female cousins and friends, and when you can answer a woman sincerely, it's a deal maker

Finally, confidence. Now, be very careful with this one. There is a big difference between thinking you can take on anything and then down a beer before bed. Confidence in approaching a woman is something that takes practice. All of us get nervous when we see that beauty across the room that attracts us, I don't care who you are. When you speak, similar to sincerity, don't hmm and hah, just speak with her like to one of your female friends. Treat her with respect, and again, be careful, there is a difference between confidence and boasting.

You might be asking, yes, but how will this let me date the pretty woman across the bar. This works on all women, but there's always a chance it won't. Why? To use a sports analogy, even Michael Jordan didn't hit every shot. I've been turned down often, however, I've also dated often over the years, even with some names you may even have heard. Keep in mind these three simple words the next time you are in a social situation, see if this advice is any help, and enjoy the dating life.
