At odds with the popular belief that would claim for the success of a man when cleverly approaching a woman he likes, there is, of course, the possibility of being out of touch with their actual thoughts when responding to a man’s plan. Let’s say that a man sees this amazingly beautiful woman walking a few meters behind him. At the very moment of deciding not to waste the opportunity to approach her, numerous stumbling blocks arise. How is he going to do it? How much time does he have to make a move? In this dire strait in which time stars getting over, the man will have to think fast. He goes for letting his wallet jump accidentally out of his pocket, so she picks it up and reach him to give it back to him. Then, it’s up to his charm. A nerve wrecking situation like this might get him into an inner turmoil, but he is confident enough that his move will do to get her to like him, and of course to be sure that she will never consider that the first encounter with his husband, a few years later, was arranged.  So he decides to do it. He subtly inserts his hand in his side pocket and starts pushing the wallet from below, so it starts coming out of his other pocket. He manages to consider everything, to prevent any other person from seeing it and picking it up, destroying his chance with the woman. He measures the distance between them, he makes sure there is no chance of the woman not eventually watching his wallet on the ground and deducing it belongs to him. The move is over. The wallet is on the ground. He waits for it, for the tender hand in his shoulder, the love of his life looking at him in the eye mumbling that she just found his wallet. Nothing happens. He turns around. He gains insight. Beautiful women are greedy too.
