Ako kasi, feeling pogi lang ako... Yung mga tulad ko, lagi naman akong nafe-friendzone, minsan nga, tito-zoned kasi sa edad na &#x27;to,&quot; he answered jokingly.&quot;Dapat may abs, ganyan—magaling mag-basketball, magaling mag-gitara, tapos may pagka-jerk yung attitude, ganyan,&quot; he added.Bautista believes women go for the &quot;jerk&quot; because these guys carry the &quot;Alpha Male factor.&quot;&quot;Sa animal kingdom, &#x27;di ba ganun? Yung mga girls, hardwired sila na kumapit dun sa mga lalaking kaya silang ipagtanggol,&quot; he said.He also countered the argument that women pick these guys simply because they hurt them.&quot;Baka naman hindi lahat, kasi may mga babae na lumalaban. Saka baka merong tanga o kaya minsan, nakakalimutan na nila yung sarili nila in the name of love,&quot; he said.Pressed if he would have proof of his theory about women and abs, Bautista said in jest that this would actually be more noticeable in Boracay.<div>NEW BOOK</div>With already three best-selling books under his belt, Bautista recently launched his book &quot;Malapit na, Unggoy,&quot; a collection of fables for millennials.Bautista said unlike other recent bestsellers and his other books, this one is not particularly a self-help book. &quot;Para siyang philosophical book. Para rin siyang self-help kung titingnan mo siya beyond dun sa coloring book format niya,&quot; he added.Though no psychologist, Bautista said he draws from personal experience and popular literature -- particularly movies that starred the 90s loveteam of Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal -- to write his book.Bautista also revealed he is no longer a hopeless romantic, having had his heart broken before. But he chose to turn this lonesome incident to a profitable venture.&quot;Iniisip ko rin paano ko magagawang silbi itong pagiging heartbroken kong ito, pagka-heartbroken kong ito? So ito, pinagkakitaan ko na lang—gumawa ako ng libro saka gumawa ako ng Internet series,&quot; he said.Grab a copy of the book in National Book Store branches nationwide, and enjoy stories like &quot;Ang matayog na pangarap ni Orestes,&quot; &quot;Ang alamat ng baboy na puti,&quot; and &quot;Ang alamat ng lamok na pasikat.&quot;
