Your feminine traits are a blessing. When cultivated, they make you beautiful and beckon a man’s attention.  The geisha appreciated the power of her feminine mystique and she accentuated her feminine attributes to influence men.

Every detail of the maiko’s (apprentice geisha) appearance was calculated to emphasize her femininity and seductiveness. Her jet-black hair was worn in the dramatic wareshinobu style, wrapped around a red silk ribbon. Her painted white face was softened with hints of blush on her cheeks and around her eyes. Her eyes were rimmed with purple eyeliner, smudged slightly at the corners to emphasize their perfect almond shape. Her lower lip was painted with crimson lipstick to create a tiny rosebud, while her upper lip remained white, blending with the rest of her face. Her upper chest and most of her shoulders were also painted white, leaving a sharp W shape of bare skin leading down the nape of her neck. Men have described a maiko in full costume as the Japanese ideal of feminine beauty.

By mastering the art of femininity, you can invoke this age-old powerful tool to attract the right man for you. Tend to and highlight your femininity.

The softness of your natural curves is your feminine gift. Accentuate and embrace your female body.

Embracing your femininity is how a blouse falls on your chest, emphasizing the curves of your chest.

Accentuating your femininity is the pink shade of your lips brought out by your lipstick.

Your feminine way is how your eyes sparkle when you smile, igniting a man’s desire to feel the warmth of your touch.

A man is drawn to the sound of your melodic voice. Use your eloquent voice in a light and feminine manner.

A man is enamored with your wit and intelligence when it is expressed in a confident, yet non-confrontational manner. It is why he is drawn to your female way.

Pamper your body, especially your hair, hands and feet. When tended to, they subtly emphasize your natural feminine attributes that distinguish you from a man.

When you cherish and celebrate your femininity, you are comfortable in your own skin and become sexy to a man.

When you are feminine, you are a strong, beautiful woman. For many women, to achieve independence and accomplishment they have instead mimicked men in all aspects of their lives. In the process, they lost sight of their true self as a woman. It takes much more confidence and security to not appear aggressive and in control. The strongest woman is the woman who is comfortable with uncertainty and who does not have to prove her strength to others. When you are feminine, you are demonstrating the power you possess as a woman. This power has intrigued men and ignited their desire since the beginning of time.

Yours in spirit,

Hanako
