How to know if a guy likes you

by Brian Botdorf

Created on: February 27, 2010   Last Updated: August 02, 2010

"How to know if a guy likes you?" is a simple question with a simple answer.  The answer is an emphatic yes, if you are good looking.  It may seem like a chauvinistic answer, but it’s just the way nature designed men.  The real question should be, “How to know if a guy wants to have a relationship with you.” 

The old saying that women are from Venus and men from Mars, is such a true statement when it comes to sex.  We couldn’t be further apart when it comes to the definition of “liking” someone.  Men are very visual and women are more emotional when it comes to sex.  Men do not need an emotional attachment to have a sexual relationship with women.  Women on the other hand, usually need some kind of “emotional attachment” before they will sleep with someone.  They need to know if there is a chance for a relationship.   This is why men are more inclined to cheat on their spouses or girlfriends.  Now, I’m not saying that all men are cheaters or all cheaters are men, but it is true for the most part.  

To understand why men are the way they are, you have to go back to are earliest ancestors.   Are brains were in the earliest stages of development.  This portion of the brain called the limbic system or “old brain” as scientist call it, is a function of emotion, fear and aggression.  These basic functions helped us to survive as a species.  Now you have to remember that the cerebral cortex, which is the “new brain”, came along later in our development.  This “new brain”, was the last part of our brain’s evolution.  It is the part that is conscious, alert and in contact with our surroundings.  It is the logical part of our brain that tries to find reason or cause for everything and generally tries to moderates our “old brain’s” natural instincts.

Men were designed to be visual in the beginning.  To seek out the best and most potential mates that would ensure that his genes would carry on to the next generation.  And very much like animals that we see today, they would aggressively fight to get what they wanted.  Like watching two rams locking horns, the stronger of the two males would get the female, thus ensuring a stronger next generation or better provider of its species. 

Women would seek out a mate that would be the best
