Ignoring "Expert" Advice, Yet Still Getting Good Results
I clicked on a link recently that brought me to a site that gave men pointers on how to attract and impress women. I read the tips provided and had to laugh because I don't follow most of them, yet I never seem to lack for bed partners. This particular advice list was telling men what every bachelor should own. Following is the list, with my comments.
1. A top-notch coffee/espresso maker
I don't even own a standard coffee pot, as I never drink the stuff. That's OK, because I don't bring women home to drink coffee. We can go to a cafe, if that's what she wants.
2. A lamp in your bedroom
I've got one of these -- doesn't everyone? I have it so I can read in bed and never thought it would especially impress a woman.
3. Swiffer sweeper + Swiffer cloths + Swiffer wet cloths
If my place is too nasty, I generally go to her place. And I'm guessing that a woman has better things to do when visiting me than checking the brand of my cleaning products.
4. A comfortable couch
I've got one of those, too, but again, it's not to impress women, but rather because my ass doesn't much like sitting on a hard bench. But there's no way I'd buy the "$1,200 Mercer" (whatever that is) that the article recommended.
5. Nice underwear
I have to agree with this one. If I'm going out to get laid, you can be sure I won't be wearing anything raggy with holes in it. I wear nice boxers -- never tighty whities.
6. A key-ring that can fix, cut, and open anything
Yeah, right. If a woman has a Boy Scout fetish I can see her being impressed with something like this, but otherwise, I don't get it.
7. $150+ jeans
Whaaaaat? You've got to be kidding me. I'll stick to my classic fit Lees and Levis, thank you very much, and spend the money I saved on something else. I don't bother with high-maintenance types where the price of my jeans would be a make or break deal, anyway. If I'm going to buy something expensive, clothes-wise, I'd rather lay down the money for a well-made leather jacket.
8. $200+ dress shoes
See above. I dress up about once per decade and there's no way I'd spend that much on a single pair of shoes.
9. 300-Thread-Count Cotton Sheets
People actually count the number of threads in a sheet? Who knew? Besides, the women I bring to my bed are too occupied with better things than counting the threads in my sheets.
10. The Joy of Cooking
I don't bring women home to eat. If she's hungry, we go to a restaurant.
There you have it. I ignore most of these "must-haves" and I still get laid regularly anyway. I guess the women I see haven't read this list.
The thread count has more to do with the comfort factor of the sheets.
Well, I'm a one-man woman, but if I were looking, I'd say that he has to
own books, all the basic hygiene products, yeah--decent underwear is a
must, but ooh baby, a lamp and a nifty key ring and I'm there! Sheesh!
