The authors of Everyman's Battle make use of a lot of metaphors in their book. Some of them work; others not so much. In this chapter (and the previous) they put together a metaphor with mustangs, horses, corrals, and fences. I won't bother describing it. If it works for you...great.
In this chapter, they describe two types of women "who will approach your corral": (1) women you find attractive, and (2) women who find you attractive. To my benefit, I never had to worry about the latter, but some of you may not be that lucky!
How can you protect yourself against women you find attractive but who you should stay away from?
1. Bounce your eyes: We know what that is.
2. Avoid her: Sometimes this isn't possible, but do it when you can. Don't go out to lunch together or offer her a ride home. Avoid opportunities that create positive experiences with her until the attraction phase dies.
3. When you're in her company, play the dweeb: Don't try to act cool - act the opposite. A dweeb is the opposite of a player.
What do you do when someone finds you attractive? How do you starve these attractions?
1. Spend absolutely no time alone with this woman, even in public places.
2. Flee from her: Don't smile knowingly at her. Don't join her prayer group. Don't join her worship team. Don't be anywhere that she can be further impressed with you.
3. Prepare for situations: Think about what you will say to her when she asks you to lunch or calls you. Prepare for what you will say and do in different situations. Don't get caught off guard.
Tomorrow: More corral stuff.
