DITCH THE CELL
(Wait. You'd better not be wearing one, because if you are, you're a walking seduction-free zone. This includes beepers.) First of all, women are very serious about their schedules, and when they've set aside time to spend with you, they're not keen on sharing it with your free minutes.
Second, when chatting on the phone, you can't help but reveal some of the ins and outs of your work or private life, and that kind of openness is girly, creepy, and not sexy.
But here's the biggest problem: Any guy who can't go 2 hours without checking in with his friends, his job, his family, comes across as desperately insecure. Go ahead and actually turn it off in front of her.
She will recognize you as the man who is comfortable and at peace with what's in front of him, and thank her stars you're not the guy who's always wondering what and who is next.
Watch out: Putting your phone on vibrate and repeatedly checking to see who's calling without answering not only is not seductive, but also shows you're kind of an arrogant jerk.

FIX SOMETHING
Men fixing broken things—light switches, toasters, clogged toilets—is a tradition that dates back to, well, a time when men did things besides nod, point, and hand other men their debit cards. They know that you probably can't gap your points or replace the alternator in your Camry.
But with a little practice, and some very basic, slowpoke-friendly manuals, you can do plenty of other tasks that would establish you as a Competent Male.
If you're going to do this, though, try to do it in her presence. And it's okay, even advisable, to swear if you can't find the right tools, as long as you don't complain.
Danger zone: Don't get dirt on your face unless you're doing something fairly complicated. There's a fine line between looking manly and looking like a doofus with dirt on his face.

WRITE E-MAILS LONGER THAN 5 WORDS
If you're dating a woman, really like her, and yet insist
on writing her e-mails that read "ok cu later," you got to hear this. Men are all about keeping things short and to
the point. And when it comes to business correspondence or letting your friends know where
you're watching the Manchester United game, that's fine. But short and to the point, in chick world, translates into
BORING and UNIMAGINATIVE and—the worst sin of all—
UNINTERESTED.
You don't have to get all Cyrano de Bergerac on her
ass. But an interesting sentence or two, please, is so
easy and so, so point scoring. Examples? She writes,
"How was your night?" DO NOT write back, "It was
okay." Even if all you did was drink two beers and
watch "What life stole from me", have something to say. Like, "Do you think Dimitrio is a better heir to the Almonte fortune than Alhandro?" Just some evidence, please, that you are a living, breathing, thinking human being who doesn't spend all his time away from her staring at a wall.
Because that's the image "It was okay" evokes.
Oh, and: "It was okay, how was yours?" is not an
improvement over "It was okay." Cop-out is written all
over it.

DISAGREE WITH HER
I have a niece, Yvonne, who is extremely beautiful. She
is the sort of woman for whom men will do just about
anything. She sort of knows this, so she has a tendency
to test the limits of their patience and generosity.
One day, she was going on and on to her boyfriend
about something he had done wrong. He apologized. He
apologized twice. And she still went on and on. Finally,
he looked right at her, at her perfect arms crossed self-
righteously across her perfect breasts as her perfect
mouth issued forth criticism after criticism, and said,
"Would you please shut the fu-- up?"
She made passionate love to him thereafter and,
basically, hasn't stopped since. This doesn't mean that you should shoot down all their complaints by dropping f-
bombs, but appeasement isn't always your best move,
especially when they've gotten out of hand.
Moral: They're pathetic this way, but you're at your most
attractive when you're just totally over them.
