And you know what, the six steps?

They're actually goddamn true.

Or at least I think so. For you, female friends, read on and tell me if these really are the things that makes us like/fall for/hold on to a guy.

And for you, male buds, well, you might not know it, but you DO possess the six steps...sometimes. I mean, it's innate in you, but you probably just don't know it yet. Those who show it or flash it to the world, more often than not, gets the girl...or girls, for that matter.

And yes, it's bad to generalize.

Tricia, having read the book, and swearing that it amused her to the utmost degree of amusement, ordered me to share this with the world so we poor little humble beings of the Earth finally understand...

...How guys really operate.

(And yes, forgive the term, but yeah, OPERATE)

Here goes, the SIX STEPS:

1) Look good, feel good - translation: get a makeover. If guys don't necessarily feel confident about themselves, even just a teeny weeny bit, they, more often than not, will fail to talk to a girl. Or sorts. So yeah, what He did in the novel was get a haircut that would make him look more mature, or look better at least. From the totoy there's-an-opposite-sex-? look to the oh-yeah-there's-an-opposite-sex-! look to the opposite-sex-ready look. I mean, come on, if you meet this totoy guy, would you actually consider getting it on with him? Let's get realistic. I love the it's-the-inside-not-the-looks-that-matter shit (yeah, I testify to that with all my heart) but you have to see something CUTE in the guy. Just for the kilig factor to initially settle in. So when guys get this haircut or whatever they need (facial, maybe?), their inner cute will come out and shine.

2) Noticing - Getting the girl to notice you, maybe. Like checking out what she's intersted in (notice boards of clubs, multiply sites, tralala?) and talk to her about it. OR, SIMPLY, THE LOOK. The guys must have that one particular way of looking at the girl. I mean, when he glances at you, or (rar) stares at you, there's something underscoring interest. Or something. This is probably when the overly-cliched zealous SPARKS comes in. The look. Come on, think of that guy you really like. Doesn't he have this super awesome "look" that makes you melt? Uhm. Geez. That sounded like...crap. LOL. HAHA. But you know, the "he-looked-at-me!" squeals and fantasies? Something related to that.

3) Angle - They get an angle, like an edge. If you don't like pushy, they show themselves as guys who don't push. If you don't like quiet, they're makulit. I guess it's basically TYPES. :)) They turn themselves into your type of guy. They morph into some creature that will make you see their best side--their angle.

4) Humour - Come on, who doesn't like a humorous guy? Whether wholesome or otherwise. (HAHAAA. :P) Moreover, who likes a guy who can't even smile? If he can't smile, how can he make you smile, and god knows, laugh. Liking a guy is basically enjoying, yeah? And the root word of enjoy is HAPPY. The root word of happy is LAUGH, or smile for that matter.

5) Attention - Here, here. A girl falls in love with a guy who showers her with attention. Making her feel that she's THE GIRL, and not just one of the girls. I mean, hel-lo. Would you be fooling yourself, going head over heels (the real thing, okay? Not the his-smile-is-awesome or the movie star concept of in love) over a guy who would give you NONE of his time? Or treat you like any other girl? No can do, we fall for guys who treat us as THE ONE. :)) Lol. This is to not sound PAASA.

AND LASTLY, THE BEST STEP, THE SPICE OF THE WHOLE NOVEL AND THE MOST EXCRUCIATING STEP, EVER.

6) Make sure she knows you can leave if you want to - I HATE GUYS. HAHAHAHA. =)) Once they make that clear, you can never, never, ever let go. HAHA. It makes you hold on to them more. And that's their edge. They've played you already. Have you dancing in the palm of the hands, and licking their asses (figuratively, of course) to suck up (figuratively, again!)

AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, ARE HOW GUYS OPERATE.

I mean, come on. :)) I think all the guys that I've liked so far have ALL THOSE, except they just didn't know it. It's subconscious? Yeah? Or innate in them, probably. :P :> I think. It's part of the genes that travels from one male neuron to another male nucleotide and what the shit.
