It's all in The Formula, boy, and I have perfected the formula. It has worked on women from seventeen to seventy. It even works when you are older with grey hair, a (small) gut and no money. Start with the smile, (still boyish), self-deprecating and selfless. The look of a victim that says I've been hurt many times, but for you I'll risk it again. Listen engrossed to their every mortal word with the intensity of a fortune teller and gaze deeply into their private eyes to see what is really there. Make them feel they are the sun you circle around. But mostly it's about the poetry. You write them a poem and they melt like sugar in a microwave. 'You wrote that for me?' (Soulfully) 'Every woman is a poem waiting to be written. All I did was write you down.' Offer them your heart as a hostage. Bingo! Make love slowly, their pleasure predominant, and gently open them like petals on a fresh flower. Then, in bed, read them a few lines from Neruda or Lorca. All cakes need icing. Say a few wistful things about war and 'back in the day.' Few women can resist a wounded warrior or the Magick of nostalgia. But what you must absolutely remember, boy, is that this is not some scam. Even if it's only for a moment or a week, you have to really mean it all. That is the secret ingredient. Make them feel special; own their hearts. It took a lifetime to discover this recipe. Use it well and often and you will decrease the loneliness in the world, if only for a while. That is true Magick. And no one ever hates you for making them happy. Women come and go, but The Formula is eternal. Good luck, kid. You won't need it. ~mce
