The Lai Detector
Author: Christopher Lai
But then I decided to give it a fair chance. After all, comedian Steve Harvey wrote a best seller ‘Act like a Lady, Think Like A Man’ which basically provided women with tips on how not only to snag the mate of their dreams but more importantly, hold on to him! Therefore all is fair in love and war.
Author Christopher Lai decided to help his ‘homies’ out with tips he deemed essential in knowing how to ‘court’ a lady in different scenarios. He points out that it depends on where exactly you first lay eyes on the sultry siren – the woman that your primal instincts tell you will have a significantly positive impact on your life if you play your cards right.
Though a relatively small book, ‘The Lai Detector’ has a lot more depth than presumed. Lai is rather thorough in breaking it down for the gents. He suggests not only possible scenarios where a meeting of the heart can take place, but also provides different options and responses based on the feedback received from the object of one’s affection.
Beginning with a nice and humorous play on his own surname, ‘The Lai Detector’ is a witty breath of fresh air that works because it will save a lot of desperate men from using those corny pick-up lines women are sick of hearing. It will also teach men how to be more respectful to women and their personal space. He constantly reiterates that a man must not hang on to a woman like cheap perfume but should simply spark an interest to remain elusive but memorable.
Lai’s guide sheds light on a number of applicable techniques. What works in the gym will not work on a bus, primarily because on a bus, you have limited time. Zeroing in on a woman at a party or a bar is infinitely way different from a day at the beach since at the bar she may be surrounded by her girlfriends who may try to block all efforts; the noise level may also make a good conversation worthless. The author teaches men that at the mall, nothing comes between a woman and a sales tag! Good going Chris! With Lai’s fool proof tips men can actually get out of the gate achieving what was previously almost unheard of: trying without putting their foot in their mouth!
It is witty, informative and short enough not to be tedious reading. Single men should definitely invest in a ‘Lai Detector’! Here’s a sampling:
As a professional, it is strongly advised that you do not pursue a colleague at work. A break-up may lead to serious ramifications and we all know how that may affect your productivity — the unnecessary tension can intrude on your workspace environment. The directive was to avoid courting a lady at your job but if you inadvertently fall for her, that’s a whole new ball game. Simply put, you can’t choose when you will be swept off your feet.
Admiration has no boundaries. Love couldn’t give a rat’s a** about company policy. Nevertheless, on a serious note, let me add this disclaimer; refrain from courting a lady at work if it is not permitted. The importance of your livelihood cannot be overstated. Therefore, to be on the safe side, a very cautious approach will be activated to ensure that your reputation is protected throughout the process. Before we proceed, let us determine if this is just an infatuation or a genuine interest:
- Is she the reason why you are up before the alarm clock sounds?
- Are you super-excited on days that you know you get to see her?
- If she acknowledges you with a heart-warming smile, do you daydream for a little?
- If you are having a stressful day, does her presence make a difference?
- If she is out for the day or goes on leave, are you disappointed?
- If your answer is NO to all of these questions, then you are probably seeking a fling and this chapter does not apply to you.
If your answer is NO to all of these questions, then you are probably seeking a fling and this chapter does not apply to you.
