Dating Tips for Men: Mood, Sexuality and the Menstrual Cycle

When I first discovered from existing data that women favored the 'alpha' (that is, very masculine) facial features on a man when they are ovulating (and thus more likely to get pregnant) and conversely, favored the 'feminine' facial features on a man when they are menstruating (and thus less likely to become pregnant), I got a bit frustrated. I've always been quite satisfied with my face but one certainly wouldn't see it as overly 'manly'. My lips are red and full, I don't have the square jaw line that John Cena or an ordinary fullback has, my cheekbones are higher and my skin is soft and properly moisturized;) Basically I have (along with many men) some facial features that could be perceived as more 'feminine'. But eventually it dawned on me that I still had just as great a chance as my more masculine faced rivals did because ovulation and menstruation last for about the same duration of time. In fact, I realized I had one major advantage: although I will spend a lot more bucks 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.

Have fun,
