If you're looking to attract a lady, then you're going to have to take some risks. This doesn't just mean putting yourself out there, maybe making the first move, you need to literally do something risky. But wait, before you unclick that seatbelt, there are only certain types of riskiness that work - the ones associated with our hunter gatherer instincts.
