How To Survive Meeting Her Inner Circle

As I’ve mentioned last week, I’m on vacation. I don’t come back until Saturday, but I did want to share some advice when it comes to meeting important people in your dates life. The friends, and family of the person you’re dating are significant in her evaluation of you. Their opinion of you, will help shape her impression of you. Getting along with her friends and family, means being further integrated into her life, and being in her life for the long term.

Here’s some tips I’ve learned in how to come out unscathed when meeting important people in your dates life. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Erectile Dysfunction Isn’t Just An “Old Man” Issue

sleep by jenny downing

I’ve been meaning to write this post since the inception of Single City Guy. Erectile Dysfunction is possible the most crippling condition any man can have. It directly affects what men hold important to our lives. I’m thinking beyond just our sexual activity, men often feel crippled with the thought of impotence, and even feel worthless. The thought of impotence is every man’s biggest fear, more so than being alone.

When I was first afflicted with erectile dysfunction, I didn’t quite know what to think. I quickly brushed the fears aside, and determined it was only a temporary issue. I thought due to my lack of sexual experience, it would resolve itself. However, when the situation kept arising, I was devastated, frightened, and unsure of my own masculinity. I was ready to quickly enter a world of deep depression. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Have A Singles Event? Promote It Here!

It’s hard to find single events in any city. When I started this blog, I wanted to find and promote single events for people to attend. I honestly haven’t done that much of a great job. While I’ve promoted some events in the past, I want to return to providing a list of weekly single events for people to attend. Starting next week, I would like to provide a list of public singles events. These can be speed dates, single gatherings, dating website events, etc. To be included in the upcoming weeks list, each event must be submitted by Saturday, 3pm Eastern. To submit an event, use the contact page, select “Singles Event Information” and provide as much details about the event as possible.

Note: This form will be changing in the near future, and upon that change, directions will be provided.

Untitled by by courtneyBolton

Women often ask their male friends, “Why do guys love [insert sexual activity here] when it comes to the bedroom?” The response we give women range from “I don’t know we just do, why do you love shoes?” to a blank stare as if you were a Martian from a different planet. The fact is, there are some facts as to the way we think about sex. You don’t have to understand them, you just have to know them. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Don’t Use Pickup Lines, Talk To Her

Creepy Magnetic Poetry (Pickup LInes)

If you’re  using pickup lines to approach a woman, you’re not going to get far. Traditional pickup lines often don’t work with women, and in many cases they are derogatory and insensitive. Most of them make one thing clear, you want to have sex with her. If you read any of the books, or techniques from pick-up artists, their methods aren’t pickup lines, but instead pickup conversations, or sets. Their engagement with a woman is focused on a series of questions and answers aimed at engaging in conversation. It’s an area where where dates are created on a daily basis.

Why Men Don’t Call: You’re Not Memorable

Droid Eris meets pavement - Photo by robertnelson

I hate to tell you ladies, one of the biggest reasons we don’t call you, is because you’re not memorable. You may think you’re memorable, or that you should be the person every guy flocks to; but the truth my hurt more than you would like it to. Who cares if you have great legs, large breasts, and a killer figure; if there’s no sustenance to it all, who cares? Think to the dates you’ve enjoyed yourself and had a great time and everything seemed to be going well. At the end of the date he promises to call, and never does. Why? He could be extremely busy, but if he never, ever, contacts you again, it’s because he’s moved on. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Follow Friday – Not Just For Twitter Anymore

Every Friday, Twitter is filled with Follow Friday (#FF) mentions. These are people you like, think others should follow, and keep tabs on. In a way, it’s virtual pimping, in 140 characters. While I participate and enjoy #FF, I also have some annoyances with it. The weekly trend can clog a Twitter stream with the many names you should follow. It’s also hard to say why you think you should follow someone in under 140 characters. Also, many people have a Twitter account, not everyone is checking it on Friday.

Twitter moves at such a frantic pace, if I make a slew of mentions early in the day, no one may ever see them. I also like to provide reasons why you should pay attention to the people I recommend. Sometimes it’s a blog post, sometimes it’s something they said, other times it’s because they are cool people. I can’t always do that on Twitter.

So starting this week, I’m changing how I handle Follow Friday’s. Every week, I’ll create a post as my weekly Follow Friday post. I’ll include the names of individuals, why I think you should follow them, and what ever other information I feel should be included. I’ll also update my Follow Friday Twitter List (@singlecityguy/follow-friday) so that you can be updated with my weekly favorites.

This is just one step in a slew of upcoming changes to SCG, one that I think will benefit not just the readers of this blog, but add some sanity to the virtual pimping that is Follow Friday.
