CHAPTER 8

Man-Taming Principles Three and Four: Distraction and Substitution.

Sometimes the best way to change bad behavior is to provide a little distraction or to substitute something else for the undesired behavior. Think about it. When you want to quit smoking, experts advise you give yourself something else to do with your hands. Dieters are told to take up a hobby or go for a walk to distract their minds from the urge to overeat. Distraction can work for man taming, too.

Let's say your man has a habit of telling off-color jokes in mixed company. Whenever you sense he's about to launch into one of these jokes, change the subject to another topic of conversation. If that doesn't work, you might have to resort to big-time distractions such as spilling your drink or stepping on his toe. Keep this up enough and he's gotten out of the habit of telling these jokes. (Of course, he may also think you're a horrible klutz, but such is the price we pay in the interest of bettering our lives.)
