       Now, number three, what about in real life situations where, we are married, and we find a woman who is attracted to us (whether she be married or not)? How do we combat this? Or, for single men, what do we do when a woman is after us who isn’t right for us—that is, she don’t have our best interests in mind? I think a good and easy way to combat this is what I call playing Clark Kent. If you’ll remember from the old 1978 and 1980s Superman movies, Christopher Reeve had a great way of playing the role of Clark Kent. He would act like a bumbling fool, an unskilled man when it came to social skills, in order to throw everyone off. He didn’t want anyone possibly thinking that he could be Superman. So, we as men, whether married or not, when we find ourselves in the situation of a woman showing interest in us who we don’t want to show interest in us, we can act like a bumbling fool so that the girl will no longer be attracted to us. Just act unconfident, undesirable, and socially naive. This fixes the problem every time. Or, say something to the woman, something appropriate but but that makes you sound like a fool.
