Myth: Women fall into one of 2 categories: F**k-able or Date-able

Two different types of women, looking at each other through a mirror

Are women either f*ck-able or date-able? This is the second myth as tackled by the female perspective (written by Jocelyn Wentland, MSc, Human Sexuality Researcher from the University of Ottawa), the male perspective (written by Single City Guy), and what the limited research we could find has to say on the issue.

Epic Meal Time – Because Bacon Isn’t Enough

Cooking shows are about eating healthier, cheaper, and well. Not Epic Meal Time, here the goal is to add bacon, meat, and more bacon to everything. Once you think it’s done, they add more meat. Epic Meal Time, is a guys cooking show, complete with cussing, alcohol, and meat (did I mention there’s meat?). This in-your-face cooking is about, excess and over the top meat consumption. It is the anthesis of the food network, and they obviously don’t care. What’s most impressive is, after cooking these items, it’s eaten entirely by the staff.

Would you really eat what they cook? With recipes like “Chili Four Loco” or “Tequila Taco Night” (video above), that have at least high-five digit calorie count, I wouldn’t consider these every day meals. If you’re thinking of cooking for a guys night, watch! Forget about Rachel Ray, I want a Meatball Deathstar!

Thanks, Bro: How To Say Thank You To A Guy!

 

Thanks, Bro - Say Thanks with Beef Jerky and Beer

It’s common for a woman to receive a gift of gratitude while at their office. A bouquet of flowers, or some chocolates are common gifts. What about men, how do you show gratitude for a guy who has helped you out? For someone you know, the solution is simple, take them out or buy them a drink or pay for dinner. What if you don’t know the person? Enter Thanks, Bro. The NYC only, two-week old business aims to be the solution to the question of how to thank men for a job well done. It’s the male equivalent of a flower delivery service. Instead of flowers, beer, and jerky are delivered to a guy at his office, along with a handshake and a “thank you” message.

Don’t Hold Back Your Feelings, Just Act

The discussion of whether men or women should approach first, is much like discussing whether the chicken or egg came first. Who cares which one came first, we should focus on better questions like, why’d it cross the road? Many may remember the way they met their partner, but that experience doesn’t have any significant impact on the relationship. A guy approaching a woman first, doesn’t indicate a relationship will last longer than a woman approaching a guy. The romanticized first meeting, is usually a casual get together. How many couples have you met, were introduced by friends, or at a house party, or even at work? The horse-drawn carriages, flowers, and violinist in the background are often saved for anniversaries and engagements.

The complaint about men, or women, not approaching first is rooted in personal preference, and feelings. The first is easy to explain, we’re lazy when it comes to love. The current generation’s approach to dating and love is “oh they should do it!” instead of “I should do this!” Take a moment, and read some of your favorite dating blogs, and magazines (including this blog). Notice how much finger-pointing, and responses to the finger-pointing occurs. While some justified, there’s some needless finger-pointing about issues that truly don’t matter. It’s because we’re lazy and rather someone else do the heavy lifting, instead of taking it upon ourselves.

The most absurd thing, are out feelings, and how we “feel” the other “should” do. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Who Should Approach First?

The conversation about women or men approaching first, has been well covered by this blog. I’ve often stated that women should be more proactive in approaching men. While, I’ve noticed women, taking a more active stance in approaching men, the debate resumes “Who should approach first?” It’s the topic of this week’s poll question and the topic of an upcoming blog post. Whom do you believe should be the first to approach, or should people just get on with it and ask out who they like?

Date Ideas: Wine Events

Red wine in a class, infront of a candle

There’s an elegance, culture and intelligence about the wine culture. Wine, often linked to ideas of romance and sophistication, isn’t like most alcoholic beverages; it’s rich with tradition, culture, and rules. It’s these qualities that make any wine event perfect for a date, even if you’re a novice. At the very least, you may impress your date with your date choice. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

How To: Meet A Women Thru Chatroulette

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU1x8Ll62QE

Chatroulette is best known its penis showing, masturbating occurrences. Every so often a little gem of impressive creative events stem from the services. Last year, amoung the reports of perverts seeking others for some naughty fun, a pianist began performing improv to random viewers. Now, there’s another video, from a group in Denmark, that have displayed an impressive, creative, and heart warming video. This video (youTube clip above), begins as one person singing a love song to a random chatroulette member, and takes a crazy, creative ride to a proposal. A part of me doubts the authenticity of the clip, but even if it wasn’t authentic,  any woman would be highly impressed by this sort of creativity and gesture. [Gizmodo via Rededdit via Neatorama]

If You Knew It Would End, Would You Date Them?

Man looking up, while holding a cross bones chest

Relationships are a messy, complicated process. They are never perfect, and never truly terrible; every relationship has their good moments, and their bad moments. When a relationship ends, it doesn’t always turn into heartbreak and dispair, sometimes there’s relief, other times anger. What if you knew that your next relationship would end? What if you know the faults and of you and your partner would be the reasons why your relationship would only last 3 months, 6 months or 2 years? Would you still enter a relationship with them and let it run it’s course? [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Fashion & Style

Does The Color of Your Clothing Matter?

Shelves of different colored outfits.

A strong fashion sense is welcomed while dating. The clothing you choose stays a lot about yourself. Wearing a graphic-t on a first date will often send the wrong message. But what about color? Does the color of your outfit matter more than the fashion style? Will you get a better response from wearing the color red over the color blue; is green a non-starter for the first date? Color is tricky, because it provokes different reactions from different people; seeing the color red provides a sense of excitement, as the color blue can give a calming and relaxing effect. Match.com recently discussed the effects of wearing certain colors on a date. While the color of your clothing may have some effect on your date, but you shouldn’t pull out the all red outfit for an important date.

There’s a few things you should know about color and your wardrobe.
