a marvelous virtue

Guys want to know the magic secret. what brings a girl's pants down faster than alcohol and having to pee really badly. well i've got it. and i can say it in one word.

chivalry.

that's it. as simple and apparently as complicated as that. you want a girl to remember you, to think you're original and special, to want to take you home so badly that she'd drag you back by your shoes if it wasn't a slutty thing to do?

be a nice guy. be a gentleman. do the white knight thing. don't be overbearing and don't try to do it so that we notice. don't buy me a drink and expect me to fall over in gratitude. don't talk about the great things you do or how you "respect" girls. one, i'm not going to believe it, especially in a bar, and two i'm probably going to hear you pull that line three minutes later after i finish the drink you bought me and walk away. that will not get you anywhere...or anywhere with a girl that is actually worth something.

i'm talking about action fellas. the opening of the doors, the giving up of seats, the motion for girls to go first. the genuine interest, the eye contact above my neck, and the confident, protective guy-ness. those non-verbal gestures and body language are what we pick up on. we're smarter than you think. we might fall for pretty words at first, but the actions make or break you.

i would give anything to have a guy stand up for me.
to make me feel like i'm precious and valuable.
and if he did....i would have him home in my bed faster than you can say "laid".
