72% of women consider themselves romantic. When asked the same question, only 58% of men said they consider themselves romantic. It’s no secret that we don’t always know what we’re doing in the bedroom and/or even if our pre-bedroom tactics will loom any fruition in our ultimate goal of getting some. How do know what to do when it comes to scoring points? How do we know that what we are doing is good or correct and most importantly, how the hell do we get you to sleep with us? Lucky for us MensHealth magazine recently asked 1,000 women to rate non-sexual foreplay tactics on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 meaning “you’re definitely going have a good time tonight” and 1 being “Sorry, I have a headache”.

Here’s what puts her in “the mood”

As you can clearly see from the chart above women are completely neurotic creatures with zero visible patterns of logical thinking. Or perhaps women’s thinking is so far beyond the level of us men that we can barley comprehend them. The chart indicates that most women responded favorably to a man who “Unexpectedly draws them bath”, “Surprises them with a sentimental gift”, and/or “Cooks dinner and cleans up”. So from this data we can gather that A) women like to be surprised and B) women like to be pampered. Additionally, we see from the chart that “Laughing together at favorite movies or shows” and “Taking them to a concert” or ‘Buying something sentimental” are also big formidable scoring tools. In my opinion this demonstrates that women thrive on being taken care of and like receiving surprises especially of a mushy nature (that’s puppy dog mushy not mash potato mushy). At the bottom of the barrel we see things like “working out together” and “paying for an expensive dinner”. These are somewhat surprising to me because I would think that working out together is a very sexual act. The sweating, the heavy breathing, and the fact that you get to check out the other person wearing something a little tighter or even showing off a body part that you wouldn’t otherwise. “Working out together” scoring so low is a big surprise to me. The other low scorer, “He takes me out for an expensive dinner”, is not such a surprise. In fact, This is a common misconception of many men. Many men feel that after dropping a couple hundred dollars on a nice meal they are entitled to some sort of sexual counter action from the female as compensation for the fine dining. Well, think again. Women know us better than we know ourselves and if you think caviar and campaign is going to change the fact that you’re a moron, you’re in for a big surprise.

So to put things in perspectives lets state what we know works for sure:

1. Surprises, being thoughtful and creative
2. Being Genuine, being honest in you actions
3. Pampering, let them know you can take care of them

Remember, these are the tools that 1,000 said would be most likely to get them in bed. Use them wisely. Good luck!

P.S. When all fails unexpectedly draw her a bath or something…
