Single City Guy

Single City Guy

If the name alone doesn’t provide enough information, here’s a bit more. I am single, I live in New York City, and I’m a guy. I’m a late twenties Brooklynite who’s frustrated and intrigued with the NYC dating scene. I’ve gone through many interesting stories and experiences in the mess that is my dating life. I felt the need to share my stories, experiences and mistakes to help other’s, especially men.

The truth is, I’ve been single for most of my young life and have not found the magic formula to dating. It doesn’t seem to exist. Dating in New York City is war, especially as a guy. We’re never given a handbook or a guide to date, all we do is copy what we’ve seen other successful people do and what mis-information we’re given about attracting women. How do you think AXE makes so much money?

The added frustration is getting reasonable advice for dating that’s tailored for men is hard! Most of the dating material I’ve read has been geared towards women. While there’s been an increase in male directed dating material (i.e. The Game) a gap still exists. We have two options, either to become an asshole pick-up artist or to do absolutely nothing. So where’s the help for us guys?

Before this website I’ve tried several dating websites for years, have read The Game (I even went out with some of the local PUA’s), attended single’s mixers, meet-ups, and read the other singles blogs, and I’m STILL single. WIth all of the material in my head, I’m even more confused and frustrated.

I feel there needs to be a male voice in this sea of single’s and dating. One that was honest and did not teach you to be an asshole.

So this is me and my blog. I currently write anonymously as “Single City Guy”, who knows if I’ll reveal myself in the future. This is a collection of my stories, my life as a single, my advice to both men and women (not that I’m an expert) and my questions on dating. Be warned, I’m brutally honest, there will be profanity (it will be tasteful I promise), there will be humor, but most importantly there will be the truth.
