Why can't I get a date?
You're smart, cool and cute - what could you be doing wrong?
We list the secret reasons why you can't "hook up" and give
you hints on how to fix 'em

Remember: men like women who likes men.
You don't have to scream to the world that you love men
just as you love clothes and bags. But neither should you
yell to the world or at least give the impression, that you
do not need men. Truth is, men like women who like men.
You're too intelligent for love.
It's still a funny phenomenon why many intelligent, smart,
successful girls are'nt as successful in the dating scene.
They get the position, they enjoy the fame, and they bring
home the money-but never the men. Usually, these are
women on top who know what they want and know exactly
how to get what they want. But that's the thing with intelligent
girls. They know a lot. And more often than not, they know
more than they feel. But that's just one complication. The real
hitch is the wall that they unknowingly create because of their
status. Guys get intimidated by women who have achieved a lot,
and therefore, may expect a lot. It's daunting for men-dating a
woman who's got everything. Sure, it isn't a woman's fault if she's
so smart and so good. But it wouldn't do us intelligent girls any
harm. If we show a bit of our fragile selves. All damsels in distress
were saved by a prince. You think sleeping beauty met her
hubby if she woke up on her own?
Ditch the bad picture.
If you keep on convincing yourself that you're not the ligawin type
and that you've been invisible to men since birth, then all men
out there will start believing you. The mind has extraordinary
power that can make things happen-literally. Telekinesis and
levitation are classic examples. Mind power has the ability to
make you feel like a true Angelina Jolie, with a bit of makeup
magic. Likewise, the brain also has the power to make you look
like a poster girl for sprinsterhood if you're so convinced that you
are. So if you keep on radiating the aura that you're a nobody in
the dating scene, theh be ready to be in invisible mode for the
rest of your "hindi ako ligawin" kind of life.
Package yourself.
This is a hard, raw truth. And girls, admit it. In a dating world
where physical beauty is heralded as the eighth wonder of the
world, a woman's physical features double serve as her dating
license and guy locator. Inner beauty is a gold mine, but physical
beauty has its own carats as well. It's your skin, your hair, your
eyes, your body, and your smile that do the talking way before you
can even say "hello". Because again, admit it: first impressions
are established within the first 30 seconds of visual contact.
It's a permanent Kodak moment you wouldn't want to ruin.
So, whether or not your date is a hottie, there is no excuse
your wardrobe staples. Because, in marketing and in dating,
packaging is everything.
To be liked, you've got to like yourself first. And that's the number
one rule. You have to believe who you are, love who you are, and
see yourself distinct from the others. There is simply no point in
comparing yourself with others. Never let others define who you are.
And if you don't get a date, don't fret. There are millions of men
in this planet. So...off to the next!
