Book reveals tips on luring a woman

But, these days he claims to have made a few adjustments when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. And he has also urged other men to do the same in his new book up for sale.

“I’m not trying to teach men how to be a pick-up artist or a stud, I want to show men how to build self-esteem, build a life for themselves — which in turn will attract women,” Brito was quoted by the ‘Courier Mail’ as saying.

According to the 39-year-old author, for some the biggest fear in life is simply approaching and striking up a conversation with a woman. Practice and a sense of humour are the key, he has suggested.

“The biggest thing is not to look cool, but to have a life with lots of interests. Become involved in your life, look after yourself, and you’re primed to meet someone.”

“The things your mum told you about manners and keeping clean are also important. Be a gentleman. Respect yourself. Even if you’re funny and charming, you’re not going to get far with a woman if you smell,” the author said.

Apart from clean sheets and clean fingernails, the book also reminds men of the simple things, like holding a door open for women.

But de Brito’s book goes where mums don’t. It includes a chapter on the penis and also offers some important advice for the bedroom. De Brito says it now is harder for men to find the right girl.

“We’ve lost a lot of the traditional pathways for meeting people. I think a lot of guys don’t know how to deal with sexually aggressive and sexually expressive women.

“Guys aged 16-25 are much more tapped into what women want. And accept they can have lots of female friends without shagging them. They relate to women as people rather than as a gender,” he said.
