Another concept to understand in wowing the opposite sex is the idea of "supply and demand." According to Wikipedia, the McRib was put on the McDonalds menu in 1981, only to be taken off the permanent menu in 1985 after the public wasn't crazy about it and it had mediocre sales. It came back periodically as a limited time offering. In 2005, McDonalds started a "farewell" campaign for the McRib, saying it was going to be taken off the permanent menu. Supposedly this farewell campaign worked, since the McRib was brought back for a short period of time in 2006, '07, '08, '09, and '10. The McRib has become a pop culture icon as it has been mentioned in numerous tv shows. So how does a nasty sandwhich become a pop culture icon? By limiting the suppy, which in turn increases its demand.
If you want to "wow" or attract the opposite sex, you have to be in short supply. You have to become a "McRib." So we take YOU right now, a barely edible ground pork patty, pressed together, slathered in tangy bbq sauce, with 2 pickles on a sesame seed roll. How do you go from that, to a product that people wait in line for? This happens a couple different ways. The first way is to make yourself so you're not desperate. If you're desperate and too available, this will turn people off. I'm not saying play hard to get, or lie to people and tell them you're busy when you're not. But if you spend all your time chasing someone, you're not doing any attracting. Again, I'm not saying sit back and do nothing and hope someone comes along. But what I'm saying is that you need to make yourself so attractive and desireable that people flock to you.
Girls and guys are a dime a dozen. Look around, they're everywhere. So if you're a girl thinking you're special because you're sweet and honest and trusting, guess what, so is 99% of the female population (or at least what they'd like you to think). So if there are that many girls, the supply is really high, and the demand for you is going to be small. Guys, if you think having a job and a car and not living at home is pretty special, take a look around. That's not going to be enough. If unemployment is at 10%, that means that 90% of other guys are the same. You're not that different.
So let me ask you this. What about you separates you from everyone else? If you're making a mental list, I can almost promise you that the first 5 things you said are the same 5 things that everyone else reading this said. We have all had someone that crossed paths with us that just completely WOWED us. If they would have asked us to marry them, we would have done it on the spot. Everything about them was so amazing and perfect. That's the type of person you should strive to be. Obviously you're not going to attract every person of the opposite sex, there is no way you can. But that doesn't mean that you still can't wow them. When I think of a girl and what would wow me, I think of 4 things: her physical appearance, her personality, her character, and what she wants out of life. So I ask you this, how can you WOW in each of those categories? Instead of aiming to be just normal, what would happen if you had an AMAZING personality, AMAZING character, AMAZING physical appearance, and had your life together? I'm sure you wouldn't be a normal person anymore. I'm sure you'd be pretty special and in short supply. I'm sure the demand for you would be pretty high and you'd attract a lot more of the opposite sex. And I'm sure that the actual people you attracted were higher up on the food chain then the ones you used to attract. I will save the "What the opposite sex looks for and HOW to attain that" for a different article. This is just food for thought. :)
