When you go out: dance, but not too<br />

vigorously and don’t act like you like it<br />

06.<br />

In the past, it was weak to go out and<br />

dance at nightclubs, but times have now<br />

changed. Beware, though, modulating your<br />

dancing is a key. Doing this will impress<br />

your mates, and even better, catch the eye<br />

of many beautiful ladies. In my experiences,<br />

I have found the finger-wag and controlled<br />

head movement to be pretty sweet dance<br />

moves out on the floor. It allows you to still<br />

scout out the women and the competition<br />

without seeming to ‘into’ emotion and the<br />

music playing. In fact, playing it cool is<br />

essential. Only when you are able to latch<br />

onto a girl dancing alone is it acceptable<br />

to get more serious about things. If you<br />

are lucky enough to find yourself in this<br />

situation, quick, abrupt dance moves will<br />

serve you well. Get especially close to the<br />

girl, ideally from behind.<br />

the bar is a powerful way of channelling<br />

Stare at girls when you are trying to attract<br />

them<br />

With girls confidence is key. You have to<br />

show them, and yourself, that you mean<br />

business. The most effective way of getting<br />

the attention of a girl is strong eye contact.<br />

Staring relentlessly and without blinking is<br />

the most pure way to do this. Deliberately<br />

staring at a girl with her friends from across<br />

that you want her. Ideally, standing with<br />

your head slightly turned, staring, will give<br />

you a more handsome, manly profile that<br />

she won’t be able to resist.<br />

Stare at guys walking down the street to show<br />

them you mean business<br />

The staring ‘plan of attack’ also goes for<br />

other guys. Whether your by yourself or<br />

with mates, if you see another pack or a<br />

guy by himself a strong stare is a must. It<br />

shows your prey that you own the town,<br />

and lets them know not to mess with you.<br />

Even greater importance is attached to<br />

04.<br />

this if you are with your girl, as you need<br />

This is decidedly satire.<br />

to send a clear message for them to back<br />

right off. Once at Rats I was there with my<br />

missus and this guy walked up to her and<br />

whispered in her ear, asking her if she’d<br />

seen some movie Raging Buck. I stared<br />

at him the whole time and he fucked off.<br />

That’s what that staring does – it scares<br />

blokes off. Even if the bloke is on the other<br />

side of the road, make sure you meet his<br />

eyes with strong eye contact. It’s a sign of<br />

your position on the top of the food chain.<br />

Walk like you own the town.<br />

Take your sporting life seriously<br />

03.<br />

The sporting field is a great place where<br />

you can prove yourself a man. For whatever<br />

sport you play: cricket, footy, rugby, baseball<br />

(not netball unless there is girls on your<br />

team), it is a great place to show your<br />

physical superiority. This is important<br />

for any man’s psychology, and equally<br />

important to put down any man who is<br />

not at your level. For cricket, this can be<br />

achieved by bowling bouncers at 15-year-old<br />

kids, abusing the umpire, and tensing your<br />

biceps powerfully when you take a wicket.<br />

On Saturday night, discussion of your<br />

physical feats with your mates and female<br />

suitors is a great way to impress.<br />

Be the funniest and the centre of attention<br />

The best way to stand out and be<br />

remembered is to be the life of the party.<br />

Wearing clothes that exhibit your best<br />

physical features (usually biceps and pecks)<br />

goes some way, but being a comedian is<br />

probably the most foolproof way. These<br />

two things combined are irresistible. Some<br />

jokes guarantee to kill: anything Harambe-<br />

02.<br />

related, jokes about Trump, and jokes about<br />

you bashing clowns. Always make sure to<br />

dab.<br />

If you feel insecure or threatened, either try to<br />

belittle the person causing those feelings, or<br />

passively-aggressively play-fight with them<br />

(especially if girls are around)<br />

If theres ever a bloke questioning you,<br />

or trying to make out that you’re not a real<br />

man, DO NOT TAKE IT. If this is done in a<br />

social setting, do either one of two things:<br />

1a. Divert attention away from what was<br />

01. said about you by ruthlessly attacking the<br />

person making the allegation/attack the<br />

weakest bloke there. A hint of comedy in<br />

this is good to insert, but still make it clear<br />

you are ripping into their character. E.g. a<br />

good small-dick comment is reliable.<br />

1b. Play fighting with whoever talks shit<br />

about your manliness is a good way to<br />

reassert your male power. Act like you have<br />

taken it well and just want to engage in<br />

some fun male bonding, but underneath<br />

that try your best to hurt and injure the<br />

bloke without showing that you wanted to.<br />

People will just think that you are naturally<br />

strong if you do that. It is also a good way<br />

to release the anger that is surely eating<br />

away at you. The most important thing<br />

here is to make sure you’re manliness is not<br />

questioned. And if you react well, then it<br />

will get you a bit of silent praise from your<br />

mates and the girls will think that your<br />

above your mates and the man for her.<br />
