Find Your Luvah – Speed Dating Event

Speed Dating is interesting and helpful. It provides the ability to meet attractive, single women; allows you to practice introducing yourself; and most importantly it can be a fun experience. I was recently informed about an interesting speed dating event happening in the NYC area.

Find Your Luvah, aiming to be the largest speed dating event in Guinness World History, is going to take place at the W Hoboken in New Jersey on January 29th, 2010. The event costs only $15 (a portion being given to the charity Women In Need), and an open bar. After reading the story behind the event, I had a few questions for the organizers of the event.

Blind Dating On Broadway (#SingleOnBway)

Image Source: Daniel Liu on Flickr

I think dating thru social media is a great idea, you get to know a person better thru Twitter or Facebook than any particular dating website. When I discovered #SingleOnBway, I instantly thought this was a brilliant idea. It’s an opportunity to meet someone new, go on a blind date with them, and see The Pride, staring Hugh Dancy, Adam Jones, Andrea Riseborough and Ben Whishaw at the MCC Theater.

The Day Christmas Died

Before reading this post, please make sure you’ve opened your presents, had some breakfast and spent some Christmas joy with the family. This post isn’t specifically a dating post, it’s a personal story that’s a bit sad. I’m NOT looking for any sympathy points with this story, in general I try to avoid these sorts of posts that aren’t related to dating. This time I felt the need to share this with you, my reader.

When people say they hate Christmas, I always wonder with befuddlement as to the reasons why? I never buy into the excuses for their bah-humbug attitude. While I hate the winter, I love Christmas. It’s one of the most festive, reflective and wonderful times of the year. There’s so many special things about Christmas that doesn’t happen during other times of the year, time spent with the family (even if you hate their guts), presents being opened, the joy spread across family members and loved ones. Whether the holiday is manufactured, it’s a gracious time of the year. One of the few. Read the rest of this entry »

“The Crucial Man” can help you become a Better Man

I’m a fan of College Humor. It’s an amazing time waster and  great source of hilarious humor. Not too long ago, I came across “The Crucial Man,” College Humor’s version of self-help show for men, especially when it comes to dating. While The Crucial Man has some value, it’s not for everyone, it seems to be targeted to the 18 – 25 age range. Doesn’t mean this web series doesn’t have enough basic tips to help any guy out, because clearly we need some. One of my favorite episodes happens to be “Being a Gentleman” while I don’t agree with everything said in the episode (i.e. standing up when she goes to the rest room), there are some really valuable points! Watch below or visit College Humor! Read the rest of this entry »

A Letter To the Women to Laughed At Me Tonight [NSFW]

middle fingerDear Women Who Laughed At Me Tonight;

Fuck you! Seriously, go fuck yourself!

There were two incidents tonight where my biggest fear turned into reality. First at the bar at the after event portion of the speed dating event (which went fairly well) and second at the train station home from the speed dating event. Read the rest of this entry »

Respect Your Relationships

FriendshipIn the past two months, I’ve gone from completely dateless to juggling my calendar between upcoming singles events and dates. Why? Friends who I’ve met as SCG have referred me to other people, recommended events for me to attend, set me up on blind-dates, and have promoted me thru word of mouth (or re-tweets.) Not only do I thank my friends, I respect them dearly for their help. I respect these relationships and do my best to do right by them, as they have for me.

So how does this apply to dating? I have several friends who were great friends, and I cared about, but now tend to avoid. Most of them are female. While I think they are great and wonderful people, I often feel used by them and when hanging out, believe there’s an ulterior motive. My issue is the way they approach our friendships, some treat it as if we’re dating, others treat it like a business transaction. In both cases, there’s a tremendous amount of pressure to perform, but there aren’t any benefits. Often I feel used, guilted, and pressured to jump at a moments notice for their wishes, wants and needs. All of them are single, many unhappily. I believe their approach to friendships and other relationships have kept them single. For the women in this group, if it weren’t for their actions, I would make attempts to date them.

Male Fashion Tips: Accessorizing

WAYWT?

I was never comfortable with accessorizing (wearing rings, wrists straps, etc,) but after my shopping trip a month ago, I’ve become addicted (Laurie you have created a monster!) Over the past month I’ve sought different accessorizes (primarily rings and straps) that would match my new outfits. There’s plenty of ways a guy can accessorize, but it must fit within the boundaries of the style. An example: I’m following a layered casual look, this means scarves, wrist straps, and rings are all within my boundaries. Other styles may include arm straps, chains (which I frown on), and hats (i.e. Kangol’s.) Before deciding on which accessorizes to purchase, take a moment to browse though AskMen’s Fashion section (especially the seasonal fashion preview area) or a male fashion magazine. Pay attention to what people are wearing, the type clothing style and which style you feel the most comfortable. Once you have a style chosen, begin to determine the accessorizes that will compliment the style. In most cases, a ring and wrist wear are necessary; for the colder months, hats or scarfs.

I R MAN!

ProgressEvery so often, when I think I’m doing pretty okay as a decent, respectable gentleman, I turn into a caveman. There are sudden, distinctly male urges that remind me and others that I am, in fact, a man! These are raw, primal urges that brings us only steps away from regressing to our uncivilized caveman selves. This feeling inside of me has been looming for about 2 weeks, popping up in small insignificant ways. Today was my Hulk transformation. Usually when this happens, I get myself into trouble!
