Gentlemen, as new-generation Lovers 2.0, it’s important to understand that the qualities of a man in the eyes of women are not those that patriarchal society continues to impose on us. To be a man in the 21st century, we need to see ourselves differently, without the archaic stereotypes that some magazines try to instill in us.
So you don’t have to smell like testosterone to please us. On the contrary, a subtle, attractive scent is highly recommended. Men who sweat at soccer matches, mechanics with traces of grease on their fingers, macho men with a lecherous look and a cigarette in their mouth are no longer really in fashion today. Of course, there will always be women attracted to these types of men (after all, there are paleontology enthusiasts), but modern women are looking for the essential.
So exit the guys-who-are-stayed-punched-at-20e Welcome to the wonderful male specimens of our time. Our Lovers are gentlemen, dandies, but they’re also concerned with the realities of women. Same world, same fight!
Our Lover, in addition to being kind, thoughtful, charming and humorous, understands the need to communicate and/or share on an equal footing with women. He doesn’t freak out at the sight of a vacuum cleaner, nor does he become epileptic when it comes to shopping. Shopping isn’t the eighth plague of Egypt for him, and discussing fashion doesn’t give him hives. On the contrary, he knows some absolutely revolutionary household tricks, he loves going to the supermarket (where he always meets beautiful women), he’s an avid shopper (he buys his own clothes, and with taste), he loves fashion because he’s a fashionman. In short, there’s nothing fake about his foray into the feminine world, it’s a way of being that suits him perfectly.
Our handsome Lover (as in handsome on the inside) practices female immersion, and that’s just the way women like it. In addition to sharing activities that self-righteous souls consider exclusively feminine, the Lover likes to teach his female companions a typically masculine skill. So you can teach your conquests (at the risk of being considered a traitor in the world of “bros”) the secrets of sports fanaticism, the mysteries of automobile adoration, the virile joys of DIY, the psychotic meanderings of computers and video games, and all those little idiosyncrasies that for centuries have been known only to the brotherhood.
As for the other qualities required to match the desires of the self-sufficient-independent-woman-who-is-not-looking-for-a-husband-at-any-price, the minimum is that you know how to cook (at least breakfast), that you can do your own laundry, that you are an example of cleanliness (you smell good, it’s essential), that you have a certain flexibility when dancing, that you are open-minded. The minimum, we tell you!
Now you understand why becoming a Lover isn’t a distraction, it’s a vocation!
