INTRODUCTION Back in Chapter II, it will be remembered, we determined upon the three parts of our plan of attack. The first part was to make you a girl distinctly worth having, the kind of a girl a man should want to marry even without the enchantments of art, and the kind of girl who is all of this from the man’s point of view. The second part was to give you, after making you such a woman inwardly, the appearance and the manner which would show your qualifications outwardly. These two parts of our plan of attack have now been covered…Therefore, though you are by no means at the end of this progress, and though you must constantly practice and improve yourself as you go along, you are ready to begin the third and last part of our plan of attack. That was, as you will remember, to learn and to practice the tactics and the strategy, the arts and the methods, which have been found to be universally successful in winning men. This is the division of study upon which we are now entered. What does the average commercial institution do when it has an exceptionally good article to offer the public? It advertises…The manufacturer knows that even the best product in the world will not be in demand unless people hear about it, read about it, see it on display, and know where they can get it. In many respects you are just like that manufacturer, except that you have something a hundred times better to offer--yourself, a woman as good as any woman alive and a girl that any man would be lucky to have for his own. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER IN THE LEAST HOW GOOD YOU ARE AND HOW WELL WORTH HAVING YOU ARE UNLESS THE MEN KNOW IT… You want them to notice you and meet you and learn about you until they can appreciate you at your full value. Many girls, of course, shrink from calling attention to themselves and in consequence never meet the men likely to be interested in them. Others are too bold, too obviously eager to get attention, and thereby cheapen themselves in men's eyes. Though the advertising campaign must be undertaken, therefore, and though you must leave no stone unturned to attract favorable attention to yourself, YOU MUST USE THE UTMOST TASTE AND DISCRIMINATION IN YOUR CHOICE OF METHODS. How to Increase Your Opportunities to Meet Men. Since your acquaintances are to be of such importance in this campaign of yours, manifestly the first thing to do is to increase the number of them. Don't be too particular… The narrower your circle of acquaintance, the fewer men you are likely to meet, and the less likelihood of your meeting the right one; THE BROADER YOUR ACQUAINTANCESHIP, THE MORE MEN YOU ARE LIKELY TO MEET, AND THE MORE LIKELIHOOD OF YOUR MEETING THE ONE DESTINED FOR YOU. BODY If certain girls are exceptionally attractive to the men, endeavor to introduce yourself into such a circle instead of remaining in a circle of unattractive girls. A whole circle of attractive girls is much more inviting to men than a single attractive girl in an unattractive circle. Go out of your way, then, to make friends with attractive girls, invite them to your home and entertain them with assiduity… You will, moreover, find such a group of girls much more active socially, more given to parties, outings, etc., so that altogether, by moving in such a set, you will meet many times the number of men you would otherwise meet, and will meet them much more frequently. Making Use of An Escort. There is perhaps nothing that will more quickly make you popular with men and women alike than being a good hostess. Now, making people enjoy themselves requires a great deal of tact, work, study, and judgment on the part of the hostess. She must be very careful, for example, not to invite anyone who is likely to serve as a damper to the good spirits of the crowd. Have only those who will help to make everyone present enjoy themselves. As a hostess it is your business to see that these choice spirits are present when you entertain, because they lift a great load off your shoulders. As a hostess, a girl can avoid all appearance of seeking men out and thrusting her company upon them, because she is supposed to be interested only in entertaining her guests and providing them with interesting company, though at the same time she is able to take the initiative in getting acquainted with men and in getting on a better footing with those she already knows. CONCLUSION How to Make it Easy for the Right Man to Find You. Remember, too, that except when you are playing the part of hostess, you are not going to increase your acquaintanceship by staying at home… In spite of your personal inclinations, you must make yourself a gadabout. Let go no opportunity to go to shows, fairs, exhibitions, games, sports of all kinds, parades, picnics, conventions, etc….The stay-at-home girl often makes the best wife --but how impossible it is for the right man to find her! There are, of course, hundreds of other ways to increase your acquaintanceship… Your main method of getting acquainted with men is through other women. A dancing class, a gymnasium class, a night school, a circle or class of any kind of girls, gives you an opportunity to become acquainted with other girls, and through them with other men. There are so many ways of getting to know girls, and through them their brothers and cousins and friends, that the girl who has no acquaintanceship among the men has only herself to blame.
