I
'm basically endowed with, along with many men, some facial characteristics that could be described as more 'feminine'. My lips are puffy and red, my cheekbones are higher and my skin is soft and well hydrated. I don't have the chiseled face and square jaw line that Sly Stallone or a typical football player has. So I got a bit saddened when scientific research disclosed that women are more attracted towards stereotypical masculine features on a man during their ovulation period (when they are more likely to conceive), and in contrast, more attracted towards the 'feminine' facial features on a man during menstruation when they are less likely to be impregnated. I've always been fairly contented with my face but one surely wouldn't characterized it as overly 'masculine'. Be that as it may, it eventually dawned on me that I still had just as much a window of opportunity as my more masculine faced friends did because ovulation and menstruation last for about the same extent of time. Although I will blow a lot more dough on new sheets and towels than Lou Ferrigno ever did, I am a lot less likely to have an unwanted pregnancy.
As intriguing as this all sounds, it is how we put this knowledge into action that makes the difference. Here are the two things you must do to harness and wield this knowledge:
1. Know thyself.
Our inherited bone structure primarily influences the shapes of our faces. Most men have one of seven facial shapes (oblong, round, triangular, square, pear-shaped, rectangular, diamond or a combination of shapes). Go check yourself in front of the mirror and be attentive to the details. Is your jawline wide and square or slimmer and perhaps more heart shaped? Are your lips narrow or pouty? Look at the line of your brow, does it hang over your eyes or is it flatter making your eyes more visible? Be honest with yourself. Decide where you fall on the continuum of facial features. It's not important where you fall. It only matters that YOU know where you fall.
2. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again in two weeks.
If you blow a chance to get laid, or fail to even get her to show up for a meeting, all is not lost. If you have stronger facial features it is very possible that your timing was a little off and she had just begun her period. (Hence she was probably with me.) Clearly the opposite scenario is just as likely to happen. The real key here is developing solid 'follow up' game. If you have the text/phone skills to keep her on the hook for the next couple of weeks you may just find success as she enters the next stage of her cycle. Let's be clear: you don't HAVE to wait two weeks after a failure to try again. You don't HAVE to exclusively target girls on their period if you look like Elijah Wood. These tools are meant to boost your awareness, tighten your calibration, and add rocket fuel to your determination. I have always been a firm believer of persistence, and now we have one more biological justification not to give up.
