The Make-Out Playbook

He says:

Guys like manuals and DIY (do-it-yourself) guides. But something like a 'make-out playbook' has been sadly missing. It's unfair - women have had the benefit of monthly articles for generations and more recently articles in Cosmo and books like, The Rules. Now, it's the guys' turn.

Last week, I was doing my laundry and passed the time by reading my (free) copy of Men's Health, March 2007. Page 134-139 was a step-by-step guide to bedding your 'bird' - from step #1 (fancy a date) to step #12 (the morning after)! The guide had easy-to-follow steps, with ticks and crosses and lots of stats (67% of women say: The cleanliness of your bathroom is paramount).

Men are simple souls. We like diagrams and ordered lists, especially for complex, strategic pastimes like seducing women ;-) I am all for the 'keep it simple, stoopid' approach (or KISS in marketing speak). However, in my experience women aren't all the same (obviously), so the playbook only goes some way towards really winning a lady over. And no, chat up lines are plain weak!

The guide might give some guys confidence, but a word of warning: if you have no game, you definately have no business trying these moves - if only making-out could be neatly-labeled and idiot-proof. *If only*!

But, go on and get Men's Health and do your make-out homework! Study hard boys....it might make you look like a natural. Umm, but don't be a fool and try steps #1-#12...improvise, imaginate (ok, that's not a word, but no one will know) and report back ;-)

LOL! Men want handbooks and guidelines about how to woo a woman into a make out session or a relationship? I guess men and women aren't THAT different after all!

I wonder? How many people actually put into action the guidelines and suggestions these books, magazines and articles offer. I admit it! I've browsed through if not thoroughly studied a few of these handbooks. But no matter how much study and use you put into this stuff, it all boils down to this...are you trying to be someone you're not? Why all that extra work only to discover that it's THAT much harder to keep up a false persona because "the playbook told you it would work"? All that for the sake of getting the other person to like you more? That's lame.

I'll let you in on something. When women get together and compare notes about their guys, we all ask the same question.....WHERE THE HELL DID THEY LEARN THIS STUFF?? Did they ALL go to the same retarded school of dating?? Toss out the playbook and try something refreshing....uh, like be yourself?
