Mean-while
It seems to me that when I was at my most primitive state, girls often will comply easily with my absurd demands and caprices. Take the nightclub scene: the idea, I remember, was to get wasted and therefore lose your inhibitions, and go after the girl. That, alcohol does. But behind this masquerade lies wisdom for the ages. See, girls nowadays respond more to me than when I was single and horny. Actually, as I try to put aside all of these frivolities and concentrate on the task at hand, ignoring them I get more of the attention that under other circumstances failed. What are all of these gravitating mirages that twirl and twist our perception of reality are all about when it comes to the opposite sex? First, I suspect is the overwhelming responsibility on behalf of society to instill in its citizens morals and principles that downright go against the individual but seem to work on a social sense. In other words, we are getting the wrong advice because, otherwise, how will I sound if I told you that in order to succeed, whether in business or in love, you need more balls and less politeness. It wouldn’t be nice, now, would it? Meanwhile, the aggressive type, the one who doesn’t need approval or even seeks guidance, is the one that gets it always his way and has his/her fun.
