5 Things that Intimidate Men

Mountain Lion Safety

We won’t admit it often, but there are many things that intimidate men when it comes to dating. Contrary to popular belief, many of these intimidations have less to do with your job or how much money you make, and more do with how your personality and how you conduct yourself during the first few dates. A strong wealthy woman is not intimidating at all. Women who display the following characteristics below are more intimidating. These are: [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Do You Date When You Travel?

hello cleveland

Next week I’m going to be in the lovely city of Cleveland, for business. Not every single moment is going to be business related, there’s going to be plenty of time for me to wander about the city and explore. I’ve been thinking it may be a great opportunity to go on a date with someone in a completely different city to help broaden my horizons. I’ve considered scouring the dating websites for a date while I’m there. Has anyone else done something like this? Any recommendations? Have you had good or bad experiences?

Dating Thru Twitter

Twittermania

My OkCupid profile isn’t going so well. After two weeks of being revived I’m not getting responses to messages sent out. Some of this is my fault and the approaches I’ve taken to online dating. I’ve found it interesting that I’m drawing more interest thru my Twitter account as SCG than my actual dating profile. Come to think of it, I’ve had more success dating with my real Twitter accounts than any online dating site. This raises a set of interesting questions, such as what online dating means in today’s social media world? [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

My Online Dating Mistake

Simply Matt

When I say women should look outside of their dating preferences and date different type of men, I’m talking as both a guy scorned and as someone who makes the very same mistake. My online dating mistake, one eFlirt expert has called me out on, is seeking too many A Listers. I’m sending way too many messages to my top list while ignoring my B and C Lists. Why is this a mistake? Because I’m pigeon holding myself to one type of girl. That never works! [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

My List Theory

I believe everyone ranks potential dates and mates. We don’t say “you’re ranked as a 10” instead we say we “want” someone, we think a person is “hot” or that someone is “cute.” Each of these terms creates personal dating lists which are determined by our dating preferences and current stage in life. “Listing” isn’t new, for years men have ranked women on the dreaded scale of 1 – 10. I believe women do the exact same thing, but rank men more along the lines of “Hot”, “Cute”, “Maybe” and “No”. Everyone determines their attraction to a potential date based on looks first and personality second. A 10 can quickly become a 7 if the’re major personality conflicts. Obviously no one says “she was a 10 and is now a 7,” instead we say “Susan was really hot, but when I found out she hates all of my favorite music, I’m not that much into her anymore.” [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

One Month Ago

Single City GuySingle City Guy was an idea rattling in my head for a few months. I set up the domain, e-mail addresses, even a WordPress account and left it to simmer. My single life has been a long string of crazy and interesting stories shared with close friends over drinks. Many of these tales I was afraid and ashamed to admit. I was frustrated by being single in New York City, it’s really hard to talk to friends (who don’t care about being single or happily with someone) about the craziness that goes on in my single life. Sometimes I feel as if I’m preaching to the choir, other times sympathizers, but more often than not on deaf ears. I love my friends, but we share tales to get it off our chest and chuckle over what happened during drinks. Afterwards I go home frustrated, alone and wanting to scream at the top of my lungs at the fate that was handed to me. A fucked up singles life.

So a month ago I acted on this idea, detailing my single life, my thoughts about being single, and now I wish I’ve done this sooner. Not only has my life as a single improved, the sharp pain that is singledom feels a bit dull. Who would have thought that I would have learned so much, met so many awesome people and feel better about being single in only the first month? I didn’t.

So a month has passed of what is going to be many, many months and I hope you’ve been enjoyed reading so far! I really appreciate your comments, suggestions and helpful insight. There’s plenty more to come!

Laugh and Match – A ridiculously fun singles event

laugh-and-match

Wednesday, Simone Grant tweeted about a singles event “Laugh and Match” at Comix, in Manhattan. The event is a combination comedy show and matchmaking event where comics perform and matchmake audience members. I haven’t been to a singles event in some time and figured it was worth a shot, I could try on my new Singles Wear ™ that eFlirtExpert choose and enjoying an evening of comedy.

Not All Men Are Looking for A Booty Call

3691670419_de9c8b3520

We’re all not looking for booty calls and someone to keep the bed warm at night. The least we’re seeking is a person we can trust and have continued sexual relations. The key component here is trust, which means we must like you and have some commitment to you. Women should understand men have a very different relationship with sex than women. For us there’s less risk involved. If something goes wrong, we don’t have to deal with a nine-month pregnancy and possibly raising a kid for the next 18 years. That sort of risk women generally don’t take with some random guy or a person they really don’t know. It’s a hell of a risk! [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Women, Tell Us How Can We Make Oral Sex Better!

Last week I talked about oral sex from the male prospective. I hoped this help women understand where we are coming from. Now its your turn to help us. I don’t claim to be amazing at oral sex, nor do I claim to know the best practices in making oral sex enjoyable for you. I’m not the only man in this position, but we’re usually too afraid to ask. Usually.

Over the next two weeks I’m asking women how we can make oral sex better for you, whether we’re performing it on you, or you on us. I’ve created a form to collect as many suggestions, tips, and tricks to oral sex. Don’t be afraid to provide basic ideas – imagine all of men don’t have a clue. In two weeks I’ll release two posts detailing common thoughts and some of the examples provided. I promise anything shared will not be used maliciously or without your consent (i.e. not giving away e-mail addresses, names or selling any of this information.)

When You Turned Down More

woman-rejects Before reading this post, read “When Did Women Start Accepting Less?” by Moxie. This is a great question and the answer is very complex. It begins with the fact that women began accepting less by turning down more! At some point, a change in the female dating mindset warped their procedures for finding the right guy. It’s a reason “The Game” was birthed, the reason many men feel its hard to attract women, and the reason dating is such a mine field. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
