What turns a woman on can vary significantly, depending at what stage she is in her menstrual cycle. According to research, women become more receptive to the 'alpha' or very masculine facial features on a man during the time of ovulation when they are most fertile. In contrast, they become more receptive to the 'feminine' facial features on a man during menstruation when they are less likely to become pregnant. When i first found out about this i got a bit disheartened. I've always been quite contented with my face but one surely wouldn't described it as overly 'masculine'. I'm basically endowed with, along with many men, some facial attributes that could be perceived as more 'feminine'. My lips are full and red, my cheekbones are higher and my skin is soft because my ex taught me how to exfoliate;) I don't have the chiseled face and square jaw line that Hulk Hogan has. Nonetheless, i realized eventually that I still had just as many chances and opportunities as my more masculine faced rivals did because ovulation and menstruation last for about the same duration of time. Although I will spend a lot more of my finances on new bedding than Lou Ferrigno ever did, I am much less likely to have an unwanted pregnancy and that's huge.

As interesting as this all sounds, it is how we apply this information that counts. Here are the two things you must do to harness and wield this knowledge:

1. Know thyself.

The shapes of our faces are primarily a result of our inherited bone structure. Most men have one of seven facial shapes (oblong, round, triangular, square, pear-shaped, rectangular, diamond or a combination of shapes). Look at yourself in the mirror carefully. 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 fail at an attempt to have sex with a woman, 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,
