“Ladies, here’s the big secret to understanding a man: Observe his social circles and his sources of inspiration. Ask him about his friends and closest co-workers and even try to spend some time getting to know them. Watch his favorite movies with him and observe how he reacts. Ask him about his favorite books and what inspires him. The benefit to this is two-fold. First, you’ll learn a GREAT deal about what makes him tick as a man and you’ll be better able to understand what drives his behavior. The second thing is that the more interested in him you become the more emotionally connected he’ll feel towards you. He’ll feel as if you ‘get him’ and he’ll feel compelled to spend as much time with you as he humanly can.”
