 Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 4:00 am Post subject: Guide books can make someone a hottie? |
 |
|
Some people think that reading some guide books is an efficient way to become a hottie. Do you think so?
That's silly. come on! Don't learn "how to be a gentleman" or "how to date women" from any book!! Those books are bulls-hit! if you act like what the books teach you, you must be looking funny!
To become a gentleman or a hottie, you may occasionally learn something from real life and the dating experiences, don't do it deliberately. You know what? some people don't even have to learn, they are born hotties.
When I was a teenager in college(I was 17 in my first year in college), many of my collegemates bought some guide books such as <how to get men's hearts>, <how to become a sweetheart>, <how to make yourself popular>, and they read those books as if the books had been Bible, and they learned some skills from those books, like
"keep smiling when you talk to your boyfriend",
"Don't have sex with him until you marry him, no matter how awfully he begs you",
"Don't speak foul language"
"put a finger into your mouth, and pretend to be thinking of something with your eyes open innocently, that would make you very cute and attractive."
I never spent money on those silly books, but sometimes I borrowed them from my roommates, and I just couldn't help laughing while reading those funny books. for me, they were like comedy movies. those books never failed to amuse me, terribly. I spent a lot of amusing time with those books.
One of my roomies eventually became a niminy-piminy freak after reading those freaking guide books. Everytime when boys came, my roomie just pretended to be very shy, and when she laughed in front of boys, she put her hand on her mouth, she acted like someone else, not herself, which made us sick. and boys also felt like throwing up.
If you are reading this kind of book, you can either throw it out or think of it as a comedy novel. otherwise those insane books may ruin your entire life. |

I bought a "how to become a gentleman" in the airport and it's just ugly. So I have thrown 40 RMB out for nothing. I'm never going to buy such books again.

it teaches you how to bind your tie and which things you should wear. As if I didn't know this. And it tells you things like "always smile to your gf" As if I could cry in front of her.

If a guy or a girl always smiles to his/her special someone for no reason, he/she must have got some problem. Nobody would get attracted to such a smiling freak.
And a guide book said: "when you go out with him, you can drop something down occassionally, then you have to bend over to pick it up, in that case he can peek at your boobs through your lowcut dress. that would make him want you all the way."
Guess where I got to read this book? last year, one of my students was reading a book in the lab while I was giving them an experiment class. when we were in the class break, I came to her and said:"give me that book, you can't keep it until the class is over." she handed me the book, I flipped it, but I was immediately absorbed in the book and couldn't help reading it. even now, I still remember all I read in that book. its title was:"the secrets of seduction" see? I remember hoshi posted a thread at the forum, with the same or similar title
That book said:"a girl has to pretend to be weak and sick if she wants to seduce men. because men always feel like protecting weak girls. and when you go out with him, you'd better pretend to be scared of some bugs or mice or whatever animals, and meanwhile, you can fall into his arms for the fear of animals" haha!
wasn't that insane? I laughed so hard that I even had trouble finishing the rest of the class, anyway, that book really cracked me up, and I coughed again and again for the good laugh. |
