Sigmund Fraud's Periodic Table of Lovers
This seminal work may not win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry but it will at least provide you the wherewithal to classify the male species into 110 love types.
1. Hide-rogen (notated by H)
The no-hoper secret lover you see in campuses. He hides his feelings because of the fear of heartbreaks.
2. Hehehe-lium (notated by He)
Sense of humour is his aphrodisiac. This light heart can set any heart aflame.
3. Lithe-ium (notated by Li)
He is Mr.Proposer. If one honey pot says no, he moves on to the next one with consummate ease.
4. Berry-lium (notated by Be)
He’s in it for the passion fruits. And he’s pretty open about it. Don’t expect heart to heart chats with this physical beast.
5. Bore-on (notated by B)
The geekish lover who doesn’t have a clue about mushy talk. He’s the type who’ll unabashedly discuss cricket or formula 1 on a date.
6. Car-borne (notated by C)
The pickup man. His car is his USP. His idea of romance is speeding down the highway. His chick often wonders if he loves his car more than her.
7. Night-rogen (notated by N)
This city slicker is a charmer. He’s the type who’ll smooth talk his girl into spending the night with him.
