It’s obvious that women have lost touch with their carnal ardor, that natural ability to mesmerize men that can only be achieved by blocking out social pressures and influences and tuning in to their innate femininity.

Innate femininity as a concept is a bit off-putting. I get it, but I don’t mean frilly dresses, talcum powder, and pink on pink.

How come we women have become less skilled at seducing men over time instead of more skilled?

How is it that Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette and Marilyn Monroe were able to hypnotize the world’s most powerful men into becoming their pawns, but today’s women believe they have to strip and expose themselves to arouse a man’s interest? man?

What these women realized that women today don’t know is the limits of their personal power. For whatever reason, women have ceded that power to men, and men will continue to manipulate it for as long as we let them.

What Cleopatra realized from the tender age of 18 is that one of the main keys to seduction is to always make a man believe that he has something left to conquer. That means always maintaining a mystique and never letting him think that he has complete claim on you.

Hollywood got it all wrong. Cleopatra was nothing like Elizabeth Taylor. She was not beautiful at all. Cleopatra had low thick eyebrows, an aquiline nose and thin lips.

So how did she seduce both Caesar and his nemesis Mark Antony? She used his brain-go figure!

Men love the physical form of a woman but what seduces them in the long run is our mind.

Guys adore a smart woman. Look, women today are very shy, but we have the ability to intrigue a man just by having a conversation with him. We can seduce a man by standing up for something and having an opinion. I’m not talking about our Jimmy Choo collection or the details surrounding how our lives are falling apart. I mean using our general knowledge on a variety of different topics, the kind of topics that come up in random conversation.

Finally, men love the playful energy of a woman. Yes, we are playful. From time to time we take it to heart or badly but when a woman jokes with a man she finds him insatiable. Men love to see us happy and make us happy; It’s built into your DNA.

So now you know you don’t have to get physical real quick with a man or wear edgy clothes to seduce him. A man will respect you as much as you respect yourself. What it means to be smart, have limits and be your own person.
