Faint heart never won fair maiden

Pseudoscience of love - Faint heart never won fair maidenIn addition to confidence, bravery is a vital tool in any wannabe womaniser's armoury. While it may not compare to singlehandedly facing up to enemy tanks while armed with little more than a cigarette lighter, approaching women is definitely a togs tester! If you haven't got the stones for it yourself, you better align yourself with a wing commander with big enough ones for the both of you!

Going up to a stranger and putting yourself on the line is tougher than many women realise. If they did, then maybe some of them wouldn't act like total bitches when it happened. OK, maybe the guy is loaded when he makes his awkward approach, but if it wasn't so difficult to do, he wouldn't have needed the Dutch courage in the first place.

What a guy is essentially saying when he approaches a woman is "I want to shag you (and the sooner the better!)". The man knows it, the woman knows it and the man knows that the woman knows it! This does not make it any easier to execute. However, execute it you must, unless you fancy a life of celibate contemplation. No? I didn't think so! As Del Boy* used to say, "He who dares, wins"!

The facing up to enemy tanks refers to Jeremy Clarkson's father-in-law, Major Robert Cain VC. See Clarkson's excellent programme on his Victoria Cross winning in-law, especially the poignant part at the end.

For the uninitiated, Jeremy Clarkson is a famous UK TV presenter and journalist (mostly in motoring).

"Togs tester" is a slang term referring to a test of courage.

It is of similar ilk to having the stones to do something!

Del Boy Trotter was the ducking and diving main character in the classic UK sit-com "Only Fools and Horses".
