In our society - despite as far as we've come in the realm of gender equality - it's usually the guy that goes after the girl in heterosexual relationships. Some people think that that's the way it should be. Other people (myself included) believe that anyone should feel comfortable pursuing another person romantically, regardless of gender.

Despite what you believe, there's no denying that this Valentine's Day is going to see a lot of single heterosexual guys trying to woo their crush. Some guys think they know everything about girls and won't feel the need to turn to anyone for advice. Other guys, however, are going to seek support from people they trust around them about what to do, what to say, and what to buy for their prospective bae.

From my own experience as a woman for the past 22 years, I've noticed that heterosexual guys have a lot of different approaches to flirting with girls. But amidst all of these different approaches and ideologies, one seems to rise above the rest in popularity, which is why I'm dedicating an entire article to it.

Here, ladies and gentlemen is a guide on how to get the girl, according to men who don't respect women.

Choose your target.

The first step in getting the girl is finding a girl that you want to pursue. Maybe it’s the barista who always seems to be working when you go in for your morning cappuccino or the cutie that sits a row down and to the left of you in lecture. Maybe it’s the girl you matched with on Tinder that seems too perfect to be true or a random babe you see walking down the street when you’re with your friends. Whoever she is and wherever you find her, you want her.

Make your presence known.

If she doesn’t know who you are or she hasn’t at least seen you around before, you need to make your presence known. “Hey, how’s your day going?” and “Hi, my name is…” are outdated and boring, and girls hate boring. If you use one of those lines, she’s going to instantly write you off as just another thirsty, creepy stranger trying to get at her. As soon as she loses interest, you lose your chance of scoring her.

You need to try something creative; something that she’s never heard before and something that she’ll respond positively to. Here are a few examples:

“Damn girl, you look so fine today.”

“Let me get a piece of that ass.”

“Yo girl, what that mouth do?”

“A pretty girl like you should smile more.”

“A guy like me really knows how to treat a girl.”

“You have no idea what I’d do to you if I could take you home.”

Be persistent.

Sometimes girls play hard to get (or they’re just moody - you know, they might be on their period or something), but any woman who had her wits about her would swoon if a stud like you gave her the time of day.

So if she’s not swooning yet, don’t give up. You can change her mind. All you have to do is keep pursuing her, no matter how much she ignores you or says she’s not interested. A lot of girls like to say they have a boyfriend even when they don’t just so that random guys will stop bugging them. Don’t let this fool you. Besides, even if the girl you’re into really does have a boyfriend, you know that you’d be better for her anyway.

Go in for the kill.

This is it; the moment you’ve been waiting for. It’s now or never. Take a deep breath and go for it. Grab her butt, get in a little boob graze, push a stray piece of hair out of her face, or take her hand in yours without asking. Whatever you can do to make her feel uncomfortable, do it. Also don’t forget to make it clear that you’re looking her entire body up and down so that she feels like a trophy on display, rather than a human being with intellect, emotions, and rights.

Go for a home run or cut your losses.

Obviously, any self-respecting woman with a functioning brain would jump at the chance to snag a catch like you. But some women aren’t very smart - which is probably why they don’t get paid as much as men - so there’s a chance for rejection. If this does happen, no need to worry. The reason she rejected you clearly is more than just the fact that she’s not interested, and it's certainly not due to any sort of fault in how you approached her. She’s probably a lesbian. She’s not that pretty anyway. She probably has sex with a bunch of guys all the time and has some sort of disease. It’s better that you cut your losses and move on.

If she doesn’t reject you, make sure to take her home and make unwanted sexual advances towards her, even if she tries to push you away or says she doesn’t want to do that. Grab her butt, put your hand on the inside of her thigh, kiss her. Just keep pushing until she finally gives in.

As long as you continue to treat your crush like this and constantly assert your dominance over her - because clearly, men are superior - the two of you will have a long, healthy, and fulfilling relationship together.

It’s practically a fairytale romance.
