Improve your Valentine’s chocolate chances

Tonight’s Trivia no Izumi had a viewer writing in asking what was the best way to conduct oneself on Saint Valentine’s Day in order to improve one’s chances of getting chocolate from a woman – remember that in Japan St Valentine’s Day is gifts from women to men only.
First up they asked 500 men what they would do, and got a panel of 100 women to vote on each of the activities to see if they agreed it might improve their chances. Amongst the collected suggestions were talking in a loud voice, working a bit harder or conducting oneself more lively, gelling or otherwise styling one’s hair, and acting cool. Each of these options garnered a mere handful of votes from the female panelists, the best score being an insignificant 7 out of 100, proving that in Japan too, men are from 火星 and women are from 金星 (Mars and Venus, of course; literally the fire and gold planets respectively).
So, taking a different tack, they enlisted the help of four female psychologists to try to find out what they thought men should do. After a three-hour exchange of views, the collected opinion on how men can increase their chance of getting Valentine’s chocolates was simply to leave your bag open by your desk over lunch or other break time, so your secret admirer could silently slip the prezzie in without fear of a confrontation or rejection.
If you hear about a massive increase of thefts from briefcases next week, you know who to blame!

It is funny to note that from the large population of female readers of “men are from 火星 and women are from 金星”, women recognizes differences between men and women. But feminists and their action is seemingly based upon a clear denial of differences between men and women.
It seems some women, especially feminists, are taking advantage all for themselves, by pretending to understand differences when it benefits them, and denying any differences when it benefits them as well.
That’s was rather succinct and to the point. i actually like his book. I consider myself pretty much unimpressed with all those self-help preachers. but
realistically, there are obvious difference that just can’t be ignored without considerable effort in denial.
