HOT MOVE:
LOVE YOURSELF
If there’s one thing men can agree
on, it’s that confidence is oh-so-sexy.
It’s one of the reasons they all seem to
be so fixated on celebs like Angelina
Jolie. You may not have a motorcycle,
leather pants, or – gulp – a zillion kids
with Brad Pitt, but what you should
have in common with Angie is her
incredibly sexy yet intellectual self-
possession. The higher your confidence,
the stronger a man magnet you are.
If in doubt, ask WWAJD?HOT MOVE:
TRY SOMETHING NEW
The best dates are when you’re both
doing or experiencing something for
the first time – and the bond that comes
from that. The trick is in setting up a
situation that can spark some intimacy-
building conversation. “A great date is
about ‘me too’ moments,” says Nicholas
Boothman, author of How to Make
Someone Love You Forever in 90 Minutes
or Less. “It’s also about self-disclosure,
where you grow closer by exchanging
ideas, feelings, hopes and vulnerabilities.”
Why not try a round of golf, a hot air
balloon ride or even just catching the
sunrise from an unusual spot.HOT MOVE:
USE YOUR BODY
Body language, according to
Thomas Edwards, founder and CEO
of The Professional Wingman, is the
“quintessential element to being able to
attract someone”. No matter how hotyour new dress is, and how well you’ve
mastered sexy, smouldering eye makeup,
it could all be in vain if you are still
subconsciously sending out the wrong
signals. Thomas recommends turning
your body and also crossing your legs
towards the guy you’ve got your eye on,
and emphasising whatever you say with
a light touch on the knee.HOT MOVE:
GET LOW
While talking to a guy in a crowded
room, lower your voice so he has to lean
way in to hear you, then let your breath
tickle his ear. (Forgive him if he has
trouble concentrating.)HOT MOVE:
SHOW OFF YOUR SKILLS
Master a game – tennis, foosball,
darts, snooker, whatever – in which you
can soundly kick a guy’s butt... all while
wearing short shorts. Not only are
games fun, if you can beat a guy
at a game of skills, it’s likely he’ll
practically be begging you to
show him your... ahem...
other skills.love & lust
Just a little
something to
get through
the day...HOT MOVE:NAME DROP
No, not the name of the
B-grade celeb you once got
a selfi e with – his name.
Think about it... the last time
someone used your name
in the middle of a sentence,
how did you feel? Probably
pretty good. Especially when
you meet someone new,
saying his name just in the
course of conversation will
make you stand out – and
possibly make him imagine
other times you might say
his name. You know when.
