Save the Girl Talk for the Girls

If He’s Just Not That Into You, have you ever wondered why?

In today’s beauty obsessed society, and with beauty just a few relatively “painless” surgeries away, the pressure is on to be more than just a pretty face. Now, we have to be interesting, charming, engaging, and well rounded. This should be easy though, right? In this climate, it is critical to be so very clever.

No matter who you are, what your age or marital status, you have experienced instances in which the man to whom you were speaking was not listening to you. There is a very simple explanation for this – you are not saying anything he wants to hear. Once this pattern is well established, when the man in your life is certain little of what you say is of interest, you can count on his hearing to become even more selective as time wears on. How can you break the pattern, or how can you avoid beginning this cycle?

This is where you breathe a big sigh of relief. I am not going to ask you to spend the equivalent of a year’s salary on fall’s must have looks or send you scrambling for the “perfect” red lipstick so you can emulate Hollywood’s new hot hipster, nor will I try to talk you into wearing slutty lingerie- but (insert sound of other Louboutin pump dropping) I will ask you to recognize this is not a passive exercise. It will require some effort and enthusiasm. To beat to death the good news/ bad news scenario- I will not ask you to change but I will ask you to grow.

The Clever Blog encourages women to break old habits, and to experience and become versed in new and exciting aspects of life, by embracing rather than categorically rejecting male-oriented subjects. If we can deepen the flavor and texture of who we are, we will become appealing to more palates. Dive into all things male, and several wonderful things may happen. You may develop some new hobbies, you might put yourself squarely in the path of men with the same interests, and, most significantly, you will be heard - at parties, get-togethers, on dates, in relationships and, most likely, decades into your marriage.

This blog will inform you enough to give you the confidence to try new things, to experience what appeals to men and gain the knowledge to converse with them intelligently. Market your actual value (who you are) by amplifying your perceived value (how you look).

Granted, this will not be pain free. Some of you would rather sip your next cocktail out of a used bedpan than to sit down and watch military movies or read up on sports arguments, but this is how we expand our knowledge base. Clever women are quick studies and will use their ingenuity to parlay the information put forth here into meaning full discussions with the opposite sex.

Save the girl talk for the girls and get busy changing the male initiative from scoring to exploring. Seriously, wouldn’t you rather have a man say he’d like to crawl inside your head than in your bed (assuming said man was not Julian McMahon from Nip/Tuck)?
