10 Essential Relationship Tips We Learned From Superheroes
5. Wear Spandex
So back to the whole roleplaying, costume wearing idea that the relationship counsellors are so fond of. There's definitely something in that, but why does it have to be an occasional thing? Especially if you've got a good physique. You wanna show that off. Of course you do! Do you think the ladies would all be swooning over Captain America if he was hiding those abs and tree-trunk thighs under a baggy hoodie and cargo pants? No! There's a reason spandex de rigueur in the superhero world. Maybe your partner has stopped seeing you as a sexual object at all, or you're single and you want to get a potential mate's attention. How better than to draw attention to all your good bits by barely concealing them beneath a thin layer of elasticated, synthetic fibres? You could maybe talk to them, or buy them a drink, or something, but the only way that's proven to be 100% effective is to wear a colourful, skin-tight outfit.
