How to Get Your Man and Keep Him

How to Get Your Man and Keep Him

Ambition: Men differ in their ambitions but they have one passion in common - to be a boss - office boss, party boss, State boss, national boss, or, the summit of male ambition, the boss of their own home! You may not be Cleopatra, a Bardot, or a Nargis, but unless you can, by fair means or foul, convince a man that you will be a help and not a hindrance to the achievement of his pet ambition, you will never get him or keep him. And, above all be careful to convince him that he is the head of the home even if only a figurehead!

Brains: The fewer, the better! Man likes to believe that he is “the brain” of the partnership. So, if perchance, you possess more than your fair share of grey matter, be sure to glamorously camouflage it behind the latest and most frivolous hairstyle. Your feather-cut may not captivate him, but if he imagines you are feather-brained, his male ego will find you irresistible.

Curiosity: Man is curious, very curious, but he will rather die than admit it. Keep him guessing, but do not overdo it. Supply some of the answers but make sure they raise fresh question marks in his mind.

Daring: A word a man uses most frequently when he is up to no good, or when he is wondering how he can drop you without too much of a scene. Be on your guard when he is generous with this word. You have been warned!

Energy: Man’s stock of this is much less than yours.

Moral: Don’t hustle him too much, or he may have just enough energy to get away while the going is good.

Flowers: Lovesick swains say it with flowers, but not-so-lovesick women prefer diamonds. Flowers fade and die, but diamonds can be turned into hard cash.

Get away: Most men, when they start an affair, have half a dozen plans up their sleeves for a quick getaway, if things get too hot for them. Being a woman you need no advice as to how to plug every one of his escape holes…

Humor: If you lack a sense of humor, you will someday take some man at his own valuation. That will be just too bad for you.
Intelligence: Man expects you to have just enough to appreciate his own, neither less nor more.

Jealousy: Think thrice before you decide to make your man jealous by flirting with another man. It may be just the break he is waiting for…

Know-how: Read, chew and digest this article. If it does not give you a violent indigestion, you will know - HOW.

Lies: A lie is a woman’s first line of defense; it is man’s last-ditch stand. It is a fatal mistake to drive him too often to this extremity, for should he ever get away with it, he will be incurable.

Marriage: The average man dreads it like the plague. He’d rather sing, “I’m walking behind you on your Wedding Day” nostalgically, than accept your coy invitation to walk beside you on your V Day. He must be coaxed, cajoled, duped or bludgeoned into it.

Neuroses: Every man has his pet ones. You will have to live with them, or in spite of them.

Odd man out: The male arrives who is really eager to marry. Avoid him, sister.

Poise: You must develop poise, or “personality,” if you wish to get and keep your man.

Quarrel: A useful weapon provided it is not blunted by overuse. A quarrel a week keeps him mild and meek, A quarrel a day will drive him away.
