The most endeared Hindu deity, Krishna is also the original Bad Boy of Indian mythology. Every woman wants him to be her man while every guy wants to be that man. What was it that was so charming about Krishna that he would always be flanked by beautiful women? Well, he probably kept it simple, noticed the little things and most importantly, took it easy. Guys who are struggling with their personalities might want to learn a few tricks from this mythological fellow on how to be awesome. Indians are known for their fair skin fantasy and we have been imposing ridiculous and absurd standards of beauty on women for centuries. Lately, the cosmetics industry is successfully convincing men that they need to be fair too in order to be noticed by a woman, make balance sheets, fly a jet plane etc. While it’s a good thing that men are being subject to the fair skin fantasy of Indians and not just women, it is not a right norm. Look at Krishna and look at his ways with women. Do you think he would sneak out to the bathroom and apply fairness cream in the sly so that his roommate does not catch and make fun of him?

Look cute when you screw up

Everyone does things they aren’t supposed to and get busted – even Krishna. Krishna could not resist the taste of fresh made butter and would steal them in innovative ways only to get complained about by the villagers to his mother. However, Krishna knew how to look cute and dilute the situation. He was in perfect tune with himself from the very childhood.

It was his pleasant demeanor that made people end up loving him even when angry at him. We all screw up in life and most of the times the fault is entirely ours. There’s no point talking back to those we have hurt or denying responsibility. However, playing cute does help to evaporate the anger fast.

Create your demand by limiting your availability

The biggest problem with guys is that we make ourselves too available and eventually diminish our importance. Krishna knew better, though. He would mingle with several Gopis in Vrindavan and sometimes, he would get a little too close with one. Now, this Gopi would think special of herself since Krishna would be particularly attentive to her.

However, before she could get it all in her head, Krishna would vanish suddenly to let her come back to her feet. That’s a little advanced manipulation that a man has to learn in this age because relationships are unpredictable – very tender in the age of Tinder.
