Why women are like Meerkats...

...and how knowing this might help find a mate.


Observation
Ever had that feeling walking down the street where you can never make eye contact with any of the women. There you are absorbed in your own thoughts or following the directions of the GPS  App on your iPhone and feeling lonely and dejected.

You won't have noticed, yet, that women tend to look further ahead than most men. They scan the horizon, like meerkats do, to see what is coming towards them. The upshot of this is that you will have already been spotted, and then discounted, by the majority of the women walking towards you.

The simplest way to start to fix this is to look further ahead. Many men do this naturally which might explain some of their success with women. Instead of looking within the usual radius of 5-10 metres try walking with your head erect and scanning 20 to 30m ahead instead.

It takes practice but you'll know it is paying off when you are able to make eye contact and get a smile in at about twice your normal viewing distance. Try it.

Communication
Women, and meerkats,  are excellent communicators. Any threat or insult, for example, is quickly passed amongst a group of friends/colleagues.

This means of course that predatory behaviour will not always pay off (though even the buzzards get a meerkat sometimes).

 As it is relationships we're talking about then predatory behaviour in the dating game is likely to fail. Better to stick with being yourself, if you don't then you may well wipe out an entire group of potential girlfriends. Women are generally far better communicators emotionally than men and are extremely supportive of each other. Although men are hard wired differently it is still a good lesson to develop your sensitivities.
