Whoever said that "A Drunk Man never lies" should be given
credit for telling it like the truth it is. There is, undeniably,
something about alcohol that lowers ones' inhibitions. Whenever I'm
in a club or a watering hole someplace, it can be quite amusing to
see the leery men trying to chat up the girl across the bar, or
using the corniest pick up lines imaginable just to be 'different'.
Who the hell do they think they're kidding? Or the bespectacled
geek getting up on the bartop to flaunt his moves... and the
normally reserved auntie suddenly behaving coquettishly and
flirting unabashedly. 
My friends believe that it is often easier to get close or 'score'
with the average looking ladies rather than the catty
woman-of-the-world. I suspect that most men don't even bother to
chat up those that look remotely beyond their league, perhaps
because rejection can be a bitter pill to swallow. Maybe... who
knows? I have known some men who actually push themselves beyond
their limits just to prove that they can. To them, perhaps the
'powerful' feeling of having the most sought-after woman hanging on
their every word is enough to give them a high that no amount of
alcohol ever could.
The way things are now, however, the women can be more aggressive
than their male counterparts. Add this on to the competitive factor
that most women have... and you get quite a lethal combination. I
can't say I actually blame them. Women nowadays will not think
twice about fighting for what they want. Beguile, bewilder, bewitch
- they will do what needs to be done for their own happiness. No
longer are women the submissive personas of yore - they are
independently in control of their lives.
When it comes to the mating game, who could blame them? As it is,
the 'good' men are either engaged, married, or gay. 
Personally, I'm still old fashioned when it comes to the courting
ritual. There are, however, subtle ways of letting your interest
show. In the olden days, females use their fluttering fans to cover
part of their face coyly while batting their eye-lashes furiously
with a come-hither look, or 'casually' drop a perfumed hanky in
their fancied gentleman's wake. Since carrying a folding lacy fan
is not done anymore (It is rather quaint, tho!) and using a
handkerchief might just make the laundry bin extra heavy, we
improvise! The bluetooth / 3G options on the mobile phone are there
for a reason. Use it wisely! If all else fails, drop the phone...
(Touch and go on that however, 90% chance is that you will lose the
man AND the phone!)
The mating rituals... will wonders never cease?
