[Got this from a friend’s blog. Bold and bracket = me, others = me friend]

I think the Singapore Government, in general, is getting more and more concern about Singapore's low rate of population, and high rate of career-oriented-singles. I was flipping thru a copy of the Her World magazine, for the month of March 2005, which I have bought some time ago, and didn't have time to finish it. And I happened to stumbled upon this really interesting article to teach Singapore females on how to get a guy in 10 days. The author of the article experimented on this, and she claimed that the recipe works ! Looks like the ratio of Singaporean females ending up as spinster is pretty much on the high side. Else, why would they want to come out with such articles ? =) So, here's the recipe .... Have fun!

[She claimed the recipe works because she has to. Otherwise, would anyone believe her and who would even bother reading if she say "oh... by the way, this recipe does not work". The reason why the number of female ending up as spinster is not because they do not know how to "snag" a guy. All women KNOW how to snag a guy. They are born with it. The only reason why they are on road to being a spinster is because Singaporean guys are getting tired of Singaporean girls’ attitude. Period. Singaporean women are getting way too caught up in the whole iron-woman, career-orieted-woman thing. Being liberal is one thing, being a feministas is another. Singaporean women are getting more and more like their counterparts in America. And no, it’s NOT a compliment]

Day 1 - Zoom in on the prey. The target is to find a guy to date and get his contact number. The most effective flirting tools you have are your eyes. Do the glance and linger then look away. After a few times, the other person will know you're interested and hopefully return the eye contact. Make him take notice of you by being the life of the party. Buddy up with him, then on the presence of doing some activity together, get his contact number. [The glance and linger thing is good. Guys should do that too. Glance and linger until she looks back at you and once you’ve established a direct eye contact with her, continue looking into her eyes for a few more seconds then while still keeping eye contact, get up and walk up to her. But the truth is, not many women will do what the author proposes. It takes a daring woman to pull it off, a Gemini woman perhaps. If at the end of the day, the guy did not ask for your number, it doesn’t matter. There could only be one reason why a guy would not ask for your number. He is just not interested. But if you are really interested in him, instead of asking for his number, the best way is to give him yours. That way, you do not come off as desperate because if you ask for his number, you’ll have to call him, a thing that VERY LITTLE women do. So, instead give him your number and tell him that you guys could do something together sometimes. Give him the impression that it will be worth his while to give you a call. Men are like donkeys with carrots. They do no need to get the actual carrot to move; just an impression of getting the carrot is good enough (this applies to most guys, The Common guys - Hitch)]

Day 2 to 3 - Touch base. Remind him of your existence. Keep in touch with him so that he won't forget you. Send a friendly sms. Not one of those forwarded ones, but one that leaves things open for conversation. If he forgot who you are, just refresh his memory about the things you guys talked about. Laugh about it and see if he will still continue to message you. [Seriously, do not send forwarded SMS. Show some sincerity and create one up yourself. The problem with most women when conversing in a SMS conversation is that they do not take much effort in it. Guys would do much of the asking and the girl will just answer it and not bother to try to prolong it. They leave it all up to the guys. It’s all receiving and no giving. Seriously, good looks can only get you shallow men. If you want guys with substance, get some substance for yourself first]

Day 4 to 6 - Push for a date. Ask him out, or make him ask you out. Whine a little and mentioned how bummed you are because your plans have been cancelled. He might get the hint and ask you out. Another alternative would be, to tell him you're dying to do that activity, but your friend isn't free. Then ask if he's free to accompany you.
[
Girl: bla bla bla... my friend isn’t free... yada yada yada… plan cancelled... bla bla bla... are you free... yada yada yada (multiply with infinity)
Guy: I really appreciate the effort but you don’t really have to work so hard. If you want to ask me out, well… just ask me out.
Girl: What? Just ask you? (that’s the whole point rite?)
Guy: Yeah, you know, like... Do you want to go out Saturday?
Girl: Yeah!
Guy: Great, we have a date *hang up*
]

Day 7 to 9 - It's a date. Intrigue him so that he'll want a second date. Dress to impress. Clothes make you feel confident. Less is more so keep the overall style simple. Keep makeup to a minimum for a natural look. Let him do all the gentlemanly things he can do. It shows he cares and wants to do the right thing. Don't be a bitch and take that away from him. Also, it would be of great help to prepare a list of questions in case you run out of things to say. It's also a great icebreaker to just acknowledge it and say: "Are we having one of those weird silent moments?" [Intrigue him with what you want from him. If you want a guy with brains then intrigue him with your brains. If you want the guy for his body, then by all means, strip of all your clothes and dance on top of the table. Kidding, but that would be cool if I ever get that. Hehe. I really doubt girls would even bother preparing a list of questions. Women are arrogant, they think that by giving the guy a date, she is doing him a favor already and she does not have to do anything else. And I just feel sad for guys who fall for girls like this. And yeah, touch him. I mean on the arms. Like when you’re laughing at his jokes or something, touch him arm or hand for a good few seconds. Guys should NEVER try to touch a girl on the first date but girls who are interested in a guy should at least touch the guy. Slap his arm or something or when you see something interesting and you want him to look at it too, take his hand and bring him there. Not fingers locking, just grab his wrist. It’s innocent and it works]

Day 10 - Yes, I got him. Play it cool, but still show some interest. Most men will call within 48 hours if they are interested in seeing their date again. [Common guys will call right after the date on the same day if he wants another date (big mistake for coming off desperate). Not common guys will either call after 3 days or after a week. There’s 2 schools of thought regarding this matter, Joey goes for the 3 days rule. Established players go for the one week rule coz they need time putting buffer in between girls]

However, there are also 3 golden rules to stick to when trying the method above. Do not push if he ....

Looks around the room a lot and doesn't make eye contact. Or, even worse, he is checking out other woman [Obvious sign he’s not interested. Or maybe he’s just making sure he is spending time with the most beautiful women around. Or maybe he’s checking if his wife is around]

Talks about how busy he is, hinting that he doesn't have time to date you. [Or maybe he’s hinting, lets no waste anymore time with all this and let’s go back to my place and get the real party started]

Talks all the time on the cell phone and ignores you (unacceptable, even for a doctor!) [Get his cell phone number and call him then talk there]

Sounds very easy, isn't it ? I'm still wondering on the percentage of hitting on a guy with those 5 golden technique given by the author of Her World. Anyone who wants to experiment, and then update me with the results ? If it does not work, I'll remove this recipe from my blog instantaneously ! Hehe .. [The percentage is going to be high if she hit on desperate guys and the percentage is going to be low if she uses it to hit on worthwhile guys. The key is what kinda guys she’s aiming for. A guy can use a certain technique in a disco and get tons of girls but that doesn’t mean he’ll have the same success rate if he tries the same technique at a church]

[If you want a man to be more of a man, try being more of a woman yourself]

[Btw, a friend of mine says that she’s getting sien with all my debate on male, female, sexism, etc so I asked her to give me something to write about. She suggested I write about me and my fantasies. So now I’m going talk about my fantasy. My fantasy is ... YOU *wink* So I guess I don’t have to write anymore on my fantasy. One word says it all. Maybe I'll create some fantasies with you ;)]
