Taming the Bad Boy

Steve Santagati, professional model, author and self-proclaimed "Bad Boy" wrote a book to help us women understand and land the bad boy of our dreams.  The book is titled The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate--and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top.

Steve's advice is to "Bait us with your body, then keep us with your brains." When it comes to dressing, we women should  remember that men like a "hint" of trampy and men like a "little cheap."  Mr. Santagati reveals that men like cleavage, tight blouses, panty lines and fitted skirts.  Deep down you know it's true.  Women who dress that way are always more successful. 

I know what you're thinking.  I want a man to respect me and love me for what's on the inside.  He will..but you have to bait him first.  Here's another shocking revelation by the author: "...your job and your professional life are only marginally relevant to us, while your social skills and personality are pivotal."  If he asks about your job, tell him your title and move on.  If you prattle on about your position, you will bore him to death.  Unless you're talking about another kind of position that has nothing to do with work.

However, while you're at work, shopping, hitting the bars or taking a walk, keep this in mind.  I always suspected this and Steve confirmed it.  "Any man who approaches you, for any reason, at any time, may well be interested in you romantically or sexually."  Use this to your advantage.  Want to drive a man mad?  Pretend that you are not phased by his approach.

There are many, many more golden nuggets of advice in this book.  Read this book before you go on your next date.  You'll be very glad you did!
