Major Project Update #2

The chapters itself, are an evolving timeline from trying to impress a girl based on a very basic level and understanding that all girls like x y & z to a commited relationship. Remember this information is not going to suit everyone but has been drawn on from academic readings & social research.

1. "Off the shelf love"
Looks at the typical love commodity products such as chocolate, roses, teddy bears would be showcased in a form vending machine and rather than a price it would be given the actual value of the gift in icons form - i.e reaction,
typical occasion.

Im still seeing if i can figure out some code system like a gesture =
E4 or something and that would be made referenced later in the book in the second chapter.

2. The love market
Divided mainly into two sections looking at the different ways to invest - line graphs and a grid graph to address
1. how certain great gifts/ideas depreciate in value (market crash)
2. how inappropriate/boring/mundane gifts can increase in value (based on the positive qualities identified by women social research - so this becomes tongue in cheek)

3. Can't buy love (working title to replace 'no value/priceless')
Some sort of journey/map or timetable that showcases, the little gestures you can do in a day from morning to night. Basically to show how gestures can be done in your everyday life that women appreciate more so than others and dont take much to do, and its not all about the big grand gestures or materialistic objects men assume we always want. I guess the best idea is some sort of interesting flow chart...

I thought of a metaphor like going to work or uni - what do you take -bus/car/bike and each transpation is a representation (im highly generalising here) but its like
bus = dependent on others, organised, time based or it could detour
and the bus arrives late..
car = can afford to spend more money, have more access and
conveinence, impatient
bike = labour work, can invest more time,

and within each adventure you take, there will always be gestures that you could do for your partner.... for example, the mode of communication - write postit note/send sms/ or making a sandwich, or as you say when sad, a massage. But as
everyone's lifestyle is different, I just need to find a good way to manage and limit the scenarios.
I guess it could just be say 3 different 'budget planners' - that visually illustrate the amount of things you can do in a day, month even seasons?!

** So the metaphors are a bit off track - but ive just thought that these gestures can be in a form of receipts transaction and requires the audience, to collect, up to you building up .... still thinking...its a start i hope.

Finally, there would be
4. "Sealed section"
This is where it expose women - decode/translate the reaction of women towards your gifts.

Still thinking would love some feedback guys and girls.

Hope you all progressing well.
