An ex-boyfriend once told me this outrageous story about a guy he met in Florida. Supposedly, this guy – I’ll dub him “Romeo” – prided himself in being the most ruthless playboy on the planet. (A high honor, I’m sure.)Being a handsome stud, Romeo had a knack for picking up women left and right. Not to mention that he was an organized predator: Romeo kept a list of questions he asked “his women.” On every first phone conversation, Romeo quizzed each potential date based on the same set of questions: when her birthday was, how many pets she owned (if any), what her hobbies were, and so on. Romeo took down the information and filed it away neatly in his stack of folders, lovingly labeled after each poor, unsuspecting girl. Romeo used his gold mine of information to charm the pants off of these girls (literally and figuratively.) Romeo never missed a birthday, and he always managed to ask detailed questions that men who just want to get the girl in the sack normally don’t ask. Sickening as the story may be, it is no wonder that these women fell for the loser. Romeo came off as the ideal mate: attractive, thoughtful and most importantly, ATTENTIVE.So how can the average Joe compete with Romeo’s cunning tactics?The answer to that question can be found in Greg Gutfeld’s book, “The Scorecard: The Official Point System for Keeping Score in the Relationship Game.” Using “The Scorecard,” the reader finds out how well he is doing in his relationship by answering a list of questions (again with the lists!). Gutfeld has assigned points to each answer, and the reader gains or loses points according to his response.Gutfeld, a senior writer for “Men’s Health” magazine, definitely knows a thing or two about relationships. His number one rule? “Make her happy.” Writing in simple terms and armed with sports metaphors, Gutfeld attempts to relay his wit and wisdom to the male population via a point system. Indeed, they should heed his advice; the majority of the information is alarmingly accurate.For instance, Gutfeld flatly points out to the reader that he gets no points by simply meeting his mate’s expectations. His advice on doing expected, though “pointless,” duties? “Do them and do not complain. No one is listening. Especially her.” Hear, hear!Although marketed for male readers, “The Scorecard” provides a good chuckle for members of both sexes.
