Huntresses, you may think the responsibility for the pickup rests on the man’s shoulders. Surprisingly enough, though, research shows that women initiate two-thirds of all encounters.

This, too, is part of nature’s grand design. In the animal kingdom wannabe-lovers attract each other by hooting, crowing or stomping the ground. They are more overt than Homo sapiens are. A female chimpanzee in heat will spot her Quarry, ‘stroll up to the male, and tip her buttocks towards his nose to get his attention. Then she’ll actually pull him up to his feet to copulate.’¹⁹ This behaviour is known as female proceptivity. Female proceptivity (as opposed to receptivity) is not unknown to our species, although we are, I should hope, a little less obvious.

How do women initiate encounters? The same way kids do. The same way the birds, the bees and all the wonderful animals in God’s kingdom do: with an attention-getting device.

Ladies, let’s say you behold Mr Handsome Stranger dancing at the disco, seated across the table from you, or huffing and puffing on the next StairMaster at the gym. What should you do? The usual scenario goes something like this. Upon spotting him, a woman locks eyes with him for a split second and then glances away. More courageous women flash a little smile and then look away, hoping that he will then take the initiative (after all, she doesn’t want to appear forward).

As 50,000 tiny seeds blow from a flower and only one takes root, your chances at love might as well be one in 50,000 with Mr Handsome Stranger if this is your entire attack. You must do more than just flash a little smile and leave the rest to nature.
