That guy is in love with the girl inside of him and indulges her every whim. In his sky blue bag, there is a pack of pocket tissue, a clean hankie and lip balm that he uses regularly. In some social circles, people probably whisper things about his sexuality. He doesn't care, and neither do I. I like him and so do most ladies.

What is there not to like? Around him, you can be totally feminine without fear of mockery or those purportedly manly snorts of impatience.

When you need sanitary towels urgently, you can count on him to find a pack and deliver it - no questions asked, no awkwardness and no need to apologise to him for the 'inconvenience'.

He doesn't make faces when you refuse to sit until you have dusted the seat; he will be too busy cleaning his own seat. He knows the best places to get pedicures and will notice when you have changed your hairstyle. Really... the guy is adorable. It's a pity there are so few of him.

Your typical guy has locked up the girl in him and thrown away the key. He has a passing relationship with deodorant and refers to aftershave as 'the thing the barber wipes on my face after shaving'!

He cuts his toenails when they start to hurt his feet in closed shoes and his fingernails never grow for all the biting they are subjected to. If you think I am lying, ask any girl and she will tell you she knows at least 10 guys like this. It is horrible.

As statistics go, the odds of ending up married to the manly man are very high. It is rarely a reason a girl will give you for not dating a man because if everything else falls in place, she knows she will roll back her sleeves and clean him up. Get some colourful shirts into his wardrobe, treat him to 'romantic' nail-cutting sessions (for the ones who rather die than walk into a salon) and introduce that thing from the barbershop into the home bathroom.

When the compliments start coming in, he proudly says: "I now have a woman"! He doesn't consciously resist the change (not for long anyway) and soon starts demanding the nail sessions and clean underwear.

My question is, if he knows this is all good for him, what stopped him from doing it all before the woman came into his life? Do not put the blame on upbringing and the village school. Most of us call some village home but we read books or found classmates or colleagues who made us rethink certain ways of life. We embraced change so we were attractive enough for you to come after. Why would the manly men not repay the courtesy?

If you are offended by the notion of having a feminine side, let's call it the neat-hygienic-sensitive part of you. Whatever you call it, use it. Your points will go up astronomically. Girls like me will be swarming. I promise.
