OLs reveal their latest tactics for the workplace 'encounter'
Watch out if that woman from the office you like offers to meet up on a Friday, as she may have more carnal considerations than if she suggested a midweek gathering, according to Shukan Post (5/4-11).
Four "office ladies" from Tokyo offered their pearls of wisdom in a round-table discussion held by the men's weekly on how to best lure the most attractive guys from their companies into their clutches.
"Normally, I act as though I couldn't give a damn about men and give off the image that all I ever think about is work," Keiko, as we'll call the 26-year-old electronics company employee, tells Shukan Post. "Then, when I'm alone together with the guy that I'm interested in, I'll give him some sort of sign to let him know he's in with a chance."
Among the signs Keiko says she gives are chatting to her targeted beau in baby talk.
Keiko adds that when it comes to tactics for getting the guy she wants, the "eyes" have it.
"'Eye Power' is essential," Keiko says. "A married friend of mine was at a sports club and saw a guy she fancied. He noticed she'd been staring straight at him for about five seconds and next thing you know, they'd become a couple."
Yoshimi, a 32-year-old medical company employee who boasts "there's no man who cannot be satisfied through my finger and mouth techniques," disagrees, arguing the way to a bloke's heart is through his belly.
"I drag guys to my place for a first date and show them how good my cooking is with a home-cooked meal," she tells Shukan Post.
Haruka, 28, from a software firm worker, agrees.
"Stomachs sure are a strong ally," she says.
Yoshimi adds that movies can also help.
"I make arrangements to meet at the nearest station then borrow five or six movies, knowing that there's no way we could possibly watch them all by the time the last train comes around. We'll watch the movies and when I know he won't have time to get his train, ask him if he wants to stay over," she says.
When it comes to approaches from inside the office from guys the women like, it seems dates and times are important.
"If he asks me out, I'll make him wait for about half a day and sweat on my reply, which, if I like him, will be 'Let's go out on Friday,'" Haruka says.
Yoshimi agrees that guys who've piqued a woman's interest should know they'll be lucky if a woman agrees to meet them on a Friday.
"If I'm not interested in him, I'll make a date for a Wednesday or Thursday," she says.
Keiko understands why.
"Going out midweek, you can always use the excuse of having to work the following day and call off the date early if it's boring," she tells Shukan Post. (By Masuo Kamiyama, People's Pick contributor)
