A while back I received several e-mails from guys requesting my advice on how to attract a female like me. You see, they seem to have a hard time attracting women that are into shooting and the outdoors… and I understand this.
Being that we humans aren’t whitetail deer and you can’t rub your scent on a tree to find yourself a mate, it makes things harder for guys.
I’ve decided to throw these guys a bone, and any others who need help, on how to attract such a lady. Here are essential points to follow in attracting the Katniss Everdeen for your life:
1. Confidence is key:
Now, I know I said we weren’t whitetail, but since you did mention you wanted a woman of the outdoors, I will use an analogy that caters to this community.
Women want the stud buck, bear or lion in their life. They want the alpha male, the one who walks out into the field and you know… he’s the man. However, don’t confuse this with arrogance; that is one thing women can’t stand.
2. Class not swag:
The woman who is into shooting and the outdoors is usually someone who is confident in herself. Knowing that, she will never choose a man who carries himself with “swag” and treats women as objects. A hundred times over …and over, they will choose a man who has “class” and treats them with the respect they deserve.
3. Be a man of virtue:
Living a life of virtue is much harder than living a life of vice. Showing that you are virtuous in your actions will tell a woman that you live to a moral code, you have discipline and you aren’t easily influenced by weak and petty people.
4. Don’t look, or be, desperate:
Never need someone. Always be content with the thought of being alone, that way you won’t fall for the wrong woman. Also, if you do appear desperate, that’s usually when women run for the hills… and I think it’s true for men too. However, when you do find the apple-of-your-eye, don’t ignore her.
5. My final note is, look sharp.
ZZ Top knows this and so should you; every girl goes crazy for a sharp dressed man. Guys, please put an effort into your appearance. We females aren’t shallow because we overlook the guys in sweat pants or who do the tube-sock/flip-flop combo… you look like a slob, that’s why we overlook you. If you want to attract a woman, be attractive.
Now, keep in mind this is strictly my opinion and the games of love are never set in stone. Nevertheless, these generally seem to be traits the majority of these Katniss Everdeen-like women are attracted to.
Also, take note of my use of the term “man”. The type of woman you want to attract isn’t going to be into a 30-year-old mama’s boy, who still lives at home and wets his bed. She is looking for a leader, the stud of the herd; she is looking for a “man”, not a “boy”.
Hope this helped.
Happy hunting,

You have to consider the source. Regis Giles is one of the daughters of columnist Doug Giles. You’ve probably read his stuff here on FR from time to time. He is one of the ‘good guys’. 99% of the time (IMO), he is dead on target for conservative and/or Christian viewpoints. He has said in his columns that he raised his daughters to demand respect from the young men in their lives because that is what HE demands from them. Not only that, he has raised them (according to him) to be the kind of young women you WOULD respect.
Oh please. Females full of self need not apply.
Katniss Everdeen's temperament was probably choleric. A girl with a different temperament might be attracted to a different type of man than mentioned in the article.
You forgot to add the bastard children.
Women want a guy who can make them laugh and shiver when kissed on the neck. Everything else is gravy.
Something always bugs me when a woman says “respect she deserves” or “respect I deserve.” Simply being a woman does not deserve respect. As with all people it is earned.
Wow—I guess hell hath no fury like a male Freeper scorned!
As are the men. I CANNOT tolerate these new "metro sexual men". You are MEN, act like one. We are girls....WE are the "pretty" ones, NOT you!
I am turning 43 this year and took myself out of the dating game about 4 years ago. I am DONE. I'M the supposed freak because I won't sleep with you on the 1st or 2nd date? I'M the freak because I think you're more girly than I?
I must say, I am a happier gal now since I have taken such drastic action......and I'm "clean" and know it.
Oh, and to all you fellas out there.....LOSE THE SKINNY JEANS!
Later
Don’t get me wrong, I gave up on those types at an early age. Of course, I had to look overseas.
I like men with long hair. It’s very 13th century.
Yes there seems to be some subliminal messaging going on here:
"I’ve decided to throw these guys a bone, and any others who need help"
Men want physically attractive women.
Women want men with a substantial financial larder and security.
Both are equally shallow but it always has been and ever shall be.
Wow—I guess hell hath no fury like a male Freeper scorned!
backfired only because of elaine and jerry. “i’ve got hand”
I agree on the proclivities, but think women being drawn to good providers to help raise their familiea is actually the less shallow.
Your probably right.
Yep, even if true it’s not something to put into a column.
It’s not shallow. It’s how life has been, to genetically eliminate the undesirables. Too bad government welfare interference gums up the gene pool, but left to its devices, nature has a way of restoring balance eventually.
Those who consider the above to be unreal are merely in denial of life and natural selection, even among us human - we still share the biology of animals.
