What do women want?

This past week I read a book and sent a copy to Dave in case he found it interesting. I won't go into detail about the book, but the basic philosophy is that women don't want to be approached by a nice guy who does what every other nice guy does. Women really do go for the jerks, but not in the way you think.

While I won't suggest that everything the author has written is "the gospel" regarding women, it's surprising how much of what he wrote resonated with my personal experiences. It gave me a rational explanation why some girls in my past have run from me faster than Dave running away from you-know-who... and why other girls (often the attached ones) have seemed way too easy to befriend and attract. The reason it's so compelling to me is that I'm a people watcher and he doesn't contradict any of the things I discovered by trial and error.

He even talks about some tricks it took me 30 years to figure out on my own.

Long story short it's given me a bit more confidence and convinced me to fake it 'till I make it. I figure I'll start doing a bit of weight training in hopes that someday my metabolism will change and allow me to put on some muscle mass. If nothing else there might be a cutie at the gym!
