Huntress, please ignore male foibles
The smart huntress turns a blind eye to her lover’s mistakes, slips of the tongue, clumsy moves, and social indiscretions. They instinctively ignore hiccups and other physical signs of human weakness. Successful huntress (and hunter-men) never complain about their lovers being “clumsy.”
The huntress’s strategy is just the opposite: if he’s not so graceful, don’t make a big deal out of it. Let the man continue to revel in the feel-good myth that he is polite and does not have any embarrassing physical functions. If he accidentally lets out a loud fart and you wink, laugh, scream, or anything else that shows you’re aware of his awkward physical function, he’ll respond to your humiliation with a resentful grin. In his mind, you have got zero points in this love game.
If he acts out of line at dinner, you should play a cruel game we called “Helen Keller” when we were kids. Turn a blind eye to the cups he knocks over, turn a blind eye to his sneezes, coughs, and burps. No matter how well-meaning your “God bless you,” “It’s okay” or inclusive smile, no one likes to be reminded of an embarrassing joke.
