Undressing, and five other things women can do sexily that men can't

THANKS to their feminine charms, women can turn things into seductive displays that would just make men look stupid. Such as these.

Undressing

Erotica is filled with sexy stripteases where women slink out of their cocktail dresses and whip off their bras with a flourish. You never see men return the favour though, and for good reason. There’s nothing arousing about a man trying to wrestle off his unwashed jeans, clumsily slither out of his Y-fronts, then wear himself out trying to remove his socks.

Not wearing underwear

Ladies may have lots more choice than men in their sexual armoury when it comes to racy underwear, but men can still send pulses racing with a crisp pair of boxers. Going without pants altogether though is strictly a woman’s game. If a bloke steps out without his undies, it doesn’t make him daring or irresistible like a woman, it means they’re all in the wash and he’s desperately hoping his trousers won’t smell nasty afterwards.

Batting their eyelashes

Fluttering the hairs on their eyelids may not sound that sexy on paper, but generations of men have fallen for this classic move for a reason. It’s coy yet flirtatious, inviting yet electrifying. Women will never know how it feels though because if a man were to try it then it would look like he’s got a twitch or an eye infection. Either way, he’s going home alone.

Maintaining lingering eye contact

Given that they’re so starved of female attention, an extra microsecond or two of eye contact across a crowded bar is all it takes to turn on most men. The same cannot be said when the roles are reversed. Men like to think they’re coming across as brooding or smouldering, whereas in reality they just look like massive creeps with poor social skills.

Running their fingers through their hair

Throwing back their glossy manes and running their hands through their locks is a tried-and-tested way for a woman to seduce a man. Sadly, if a man were to try this move, he would be met with a grim reminder of his receding hairline at best, or his total lack of follicles at worst. Or if he’s got plenty of hair, grease. Playing with his hirsute armpits doesn’t have the desired effect either.

Blowing a kiss

This is far too coquettish to be anything other than a female seduction technique. Even if a man is shredded and uses this gesture to show off his massive biceps, he’s still going to come across as deeply unattractive. He should also refrain from catching a woman’s kiss and clutching it to his heart. It always looks pathetic.

Adopting a baby aged 21, and other Hollywood practices nobody is copying

MILLIE Bobby Brown is married and has adopted a baby at the age of 21, in a move that has seen none of her legion of fans rush to do the same. The stars are on their own with these:

Getting married six times

Second marriages are okay. Third marriages are greeted with ‘you’d better really bloody mean it this time’. Fourth, fifth, sixth marriages? Not seen in real life. Perhaps J-Lo’s been in so many romcoms that her belief in true love is unwavering, like an eternal flame, or perhaps she’s a f**king nightmare who is nonetheless too hot to turn down.

Adopting a child at 21

While biologically optimal, birthing a child at 21 is largely considered unwise these days. Adopting one? At an age where every sensible person is getting as blitzed as possible every weekend? One cannot eliminate the sneaking suspicion the child in question may be found wanting and returned.

Living in hotels

Things tough at home? Why not retreat to the anonymity of a hotel suite for a year or more? After all, as any business traveller knows, a week in a Travelodge has you so lonely you make the biscuits talk to the milk, but apparently celebrities find living impermanently at massive cost comforting and a rest cure for the spirit.

Scientology

The one practice lunatic celebrities really wish their fans would copy is the one that stubbornly refuses to take off. What’s wrong with them? Why can’t they see happy, fulfilled, well-balanced individuals like Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Juliette Lewis and Doug E Fresh and behold the righteousness of the path of Hubbard? Don’t they want to be happy?

Keeping a pet lion

Surely what’s good enough for Tippi Hedren and daughter Melanie Griffiths, ie. giving a 400-pound lion called Neil the run of the house, isn’t too good for your three-bed new build? Or Mike Tyson’s white tiger that took someone’s arm off? Or George Clooney’s pot-bellied pig that, let’s face it, he only kept to stop girls moving in? Get one today.

Drinking each other’s blood

Whether you’re Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton or Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, you can be sexy without opening veins. Fans of both – to specify, men who would love to bang Angelina or Megan, nobody’s a Billy Bob Thornton fan – have resisted sexing up their suburban marriages with blood. It never comes out of the sheets.
