Make a Better First Impression With the Man Plan

A woman will sometimes say something along the lines of, “I wasn’t attracted to him at first,” or “I didn’t really like him when I first met him,” when talking about their mate. That’s the way I felt about my last man, the first time we dated as teenagers. He was loud and not my usual type, but I got to know him and suddenly I thought he was adorable. Men, despite the way they are portrayed in the latest romantic comedy film, they go with their first impression. If they aren’t attracted to you in the beginning, they move on.
A new book, The Man Plan: Drive Men Wild – Not Away, by Whitney Casey, shares the secrets Casey has learned after interviewing more than 250 men. Want a little insight? Most men prefer their dates to wear a sweet smelling perfume, rather than a floral scent.
Whitney Casey is a former Emmy winning television journalist who now writes a relationship column for the Houston Chronicle.
The Man Plan: Drive Men Wild, Not Away
While it’s great to suggest that a woman shouldn’t have to conform to unreasonable expectations of perfection in order to attract a guy and keep him, the reality in the dating world is somewhat different. Men are tactile, visual, and visceral, and a spectrum of factors—from the way a woman orders wine to the pictures she has next to her bed to how often she shaves—can be enough to turn a guy off…permanently.
With The Man Plan, relationship columnist Whitney Casey shares with women what men really think on a variety of issues, from the way women dress to how they take care of their cars. Including the opinions of a cross section of single men—as well as such notable personalities as Joel Osteen, P. Diddy, and Dr. Laura Berman—The Man Plan helps women identify the little issues that can make a big impression.
