The "F" word

My advice for twenty/thirty-something women searching for a soulmate, partner, life-long friend, husband is very simple. It involves the "F" word. Let me elaborate. Years ago, older women urged young women that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I heard it often. I don't think it was true then and I don't think it's true now. Sure, men enjoy a great meal, but there are restaurants in every town, on every corner and lots of choices. And I do think the male species would prefer to pay for a meal, rather than sit and wait for a presentation of one knowing the effort involved, and having to formulate the perfect and expected complement to the chef. Too much work for him.

In my opinion what really attracts a man is pure and unadulterated Flattery. (Oh did you think I was referring to the 'other F' word? ) It's time for women to use what men have used for ages: "the Line."
Try one of these out to see how it works:

"How ever did you accomplish that?"

" You have such brilliant ideas."

" What skill you have."

" You know that subject better than I, would you help me with that?"

" Could I ask for your advice on this? I know you'll know the best way."

" How creative you are."

You of course can formulate your own 'Ladies' Line." Just begin your conversation with "You" and keep it positive. A vacant gaze won't hurt either.
