    Backchat with Nina - 22 January
    Nina Harvey


    AS a single woman, I often find it very hard to figure out exactly what I need to do or say to impress a man. Men and women are so different, it can often be overwhelming to figure each other out.

    Therefore, in an effort to assist other singles out there, I turned to one of my married male colleagues (let?s call him He-Man!) to ask him what the trick is to impressing and keeping a man.

    So here it is ? some key points on: How to impress your man:

    He-Man: Don't speak during the game. Nina: Just let the insurance worry about his car being stolen during the crucial moments of the UEFA Champions League.

    H: When a man asks, "How are you doing?", a simple, "Fine," will suffice. 45 minutes answers are not mandatory. N: So ladies, even if you are feeling a little sad because you?ve had that sexy lacy lingerie in your cupboard for months and you really wish you had someone to show it to... just say "I'm fine".

    H: Men find women who can work their way around a Playstation and power tools a real turn-on. N: Yes, except when you beat him ten times in a row, in front of his friends. He doesn't like it too much then.

    H: Men appreciate women who recognise beer as one of the four main food groups. N: Can't argue with that one. As long as we can add vodka to the list!

    H: Do not, under any circumstances, make any attempt to acquire or dominate the remote. N: Do not, under any circumstances, make any attempt to get out of washing the dishes ever again. And pick up your own dirty socks and underwear... then you have a deal.

    H: She should recognise WWE wrestling as more than just mindless bashing. It's a real sport, I tell you! N: Sport? Well, I usually see it more as sweaty, dancing men in hot pants or tights, but I am willing compromise on this one. I have full respect for any show that sees John Cena rip off his shirt!

    H: She must look and sound like the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. N: The moment you turn into Jared Leto, we?ll talk.

    So there you have it. Interesting? Maybe. Humorous? Possibly. Helpful? Not in the least.

    Thanks to the office He-Man, I am now no more educated in the art of finding and keeping a man than I was before.

    If anything I am now reminded that, although I continue to look for love, there are far worse things than being single. I could be spending my evenings watching WWE and fighting over the last beer in the fridge.

    Stay tuned next week for tips on how to impress your lady friend!
