Video 07 → What Do Women Want, Anyway?

[irregular]

[Unfiltered. Let's see how long it takes Ken to realize this.]

[Ken sits on the edge of the fountain in Espoir, frowning into the camera in aggrieved confusion, as if it personally has done him some disservice.]

Uh... this is probably gonna sound dumb but Does anyone know what kind of stuff you get a girl you like that isn't totally stupid or creepy?

[The head and neck of a toy giraffe are just visible in the lower right hand corner of the frame. Ken glances over at it as he speaks, then shoves it quickly down in an attempt to get it out of shot, without any real noticeable success. An awkward look flickers across his face. Great, so he's already seriously regretting deciding to ask this question and he hasn't even finished saying it yet...]

And I'm not gonna do flowers.

[The feed cuts off quickly.]

Yes, Ken. You want to know. Beware Youji being actually somewhat helpful

Women aren't as materialistic as we think they are. Not even close.

[Pause for Ken to absorb that little bombshell. :D]

Jewelry is nice. So is candy, but ultimately, what a woman wants more than anything else? Is simply to know she's special. It isn't what you give her so much as how.

It's fine to give her something like an expensive necklace, but make sure some effort is put it into it--and I don't mean just by your bank account. Make clear it was chosen just for her.

For heaven's sake, it's even all right to give her something she doesn't like, so long as the effort you went to to make sure she did is clear. No decent woman would reject you for that, and if she does, she's too high maintenance, and the enterprising Casanova would do well to move on to the next one.

[... I should have got a pencil.

[Yeah, that's absolutely floored Ken. He was expecting... well, another tease, if he was going to be totally honest. Not genuine advice. He's just going to stare at you for a moment there, Youji because seriously actual advice, what is this.]

Uh... thanks.

[He means that, and if that's not a shock Ken doesn't know what is.]

... I ain't a Casanova, though!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Not yet.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Should I even wanna be?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

It's that or take it all seriously, kiddo.

I'll let you know when I stop, then.
