What our grandmothers told us about playing hard to get is true. The whole point of the game is to impress and capture. It's not about honesty.

And knowing about your personality type, who you are and what kind of person you're dealing with gives you a great leg up.

Today, most women are surrounded by ingenious gadgets. They don't grow the peas or raise the chicken that they serve for dinner instead they hunt and gather in the grocery store. They go through catalogs or department stores to buy clothes instead of shearing sheep, carding wool, and weaving cloth for skirts and coats and blankets.
