The Prettiest Doesn’t Mean The Best

We all search for our perfect match. In some cases it’s someone whose completely opposite than us, and in other cases it’s someone whose exactly like us. For men there’s one consistent in what we look for, we all want to date the best looking supermodel. Even if we don’t have a chance. We all have an image of a near perfect, unattainable woman, and run blindly after her. While we’re attracted to her looks, we often ignore the important factor of attraction, and that’s personality. Just because she look’s like an angel doesn’t mean she’s an angel. I’ve been in rooms with very attractive women and many times have found myself not attracted to them. After some point a woman’s physical appearance is just that, but it says nothing about her personality. This doesn’t mean they aren’t great women, just not the one for me.

This is a hard truth to dating, just because she’s hot, doesn’t mean she’s right.

How Did I Get Stood Up Last Night?

A man, stood up, waiting for his date the a bar

I’ve been on bad dates, gone thru bad relationships, and have placed myself into poor dating situations; however, I don’t recall the last time I’ve been stood up on a date. Last night was a very frustrating reminder of what that meant. While movies often show some love-struck soul, waiting at a restaurant for their date to appear; I would like to believe this situation happens less frequently in real life. In today’s age of being able to “check-in” from space, how hard is it for someone to send the message, “I won’t be able to make it”? The answer, not very hard!

So last night’s date was pure befuddlement.

Why Men Watch Porn, Even While In A Relationship

Popular porn star Sasha Grey

There’s very little a woman can do to replace our love and engagement with porn. Men will always find a way to watch porn regardless of their relationship status. For men, pornography has nothing to do with the success or failure of the relationship we’re in, it’s an outlet. It serves our imagination, fantasies, and in several cases, serves as a learning and teaching tool. In some ways, porn is also a comfort zone and confidence boost. I’ve never felt bad about myself after watching porn; however there’s been several times after sex I’ve felt worse about myself and my status as a man. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

What Is A Sexy Woman?

Every guy has their own definition of a sexy woman, for some it’s when a woman wears high heels, other’s enjoy a woman’s voluptuous curves, and others are turned on by a woman’s intellect and demeanor. The list can be endless, every guy has their own “thing” that they see in a woman, and what attracts them. Attempting to find every possible combination is a fruitless endeavor. While some universal truths exist, they don’t apply to everyone or every situation. Someone who’s attracted to curvy women, may consider a slender woman sexy for many different reasons. This situation leaves the question unanswered, what is considered a sexy woman?

Are You Too Dependent On Online Dating?

Online dating has made the dating process an easier and more efficient way to meet people. It’s a quick an easy way find people who are in your area that meet your preferred tastes. However, it’s also quite limiting. As I flick through profiles on OkCupid or HowAboutWe, I’ve realized that dating sites have major limitations, sometimes the qualities I’m looking for a woman aren’t easily found. While I could use keywords to narrow my search parameters, expand my age and likes, sometimes the women I’m looking for don’t exist on these online dating websites. They exist in the real world.

Online dating does help, but I begin to wonder if I’ve become too dependent on dating websites. Recently, I’ve begun to wonder where I’ve had the best success meeting potential dates, that aren’t online websites.

Things To Consider When Playing Matchmaker

Couple meeting each other, because of their hats

I’m all about setting up friends on dates. I’ve been set up by friends on dates and have quite enjoyed myself. However, playing matchmaker can be a tricky and complicated process. Everyone isn’t open to the idea of being matched by their friends, and every potential couple isn’t the perfect couple. In a recently asked question about setting up friends, I received some interesting responses, including one that would have ended a friendship.

There are some things to consider while playing matchmaker. While you may think a perfect couple is to be had, you don’t know how the two will interact with one another until they are face to face. Just because you think two people will get along well, doesn’t mean that they will.

Be Honest, Women Want Sex Just As Bad As Men

A woman beckoning for sex

Men are often labeled as horny dogs who just want to have sex. Often we’re ridiculed for our focus on sex, and and then later ridiculed for our low sex drive. It doesn’t seen that we can win. We’re told we think more about sex than women, and that its wrong for us to be solely focused on the act alone. We’re often berated for these facts and made to seem like soulless jerks. Here’s a reality check, women are just as horny, driven, and focused on sex as men are.

So why do men take the blame? [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
