"jill and her friend on stage" photo by @MSG

As I’ve mentioned last week, I’m on vacation. I don’t come back until Saturday, but I did want to share some advice when it comes to meeting important people in your dates life. The friends, and family of the person you’re dating are significant in her evaluation of you. Their opinion of you, will help shape her impression of you. Getting along with her friends and family, means being further integrated into her life, and being in her life for the long term.

Here’s some tips I’ve learned in how to come out unscathed when meeting important people in your dates life. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Erectile Dysfunction Isn’t Just An “Old Man” Issue

sleep by jenny downing

I’ve been meaning to write this post since the inception of Single City Guy. Erectile Dysfunction is possible the most crippling condition any man can have. It directly affects what men hold important to our lives. I’m thinking beyond just our sexual activity, men often feel crippled with the thought of impotence, and even feel worthless. The thought of impotence is every man’s biggest fear, more so than being alone.

When I was first afflicted with erectile dysfunction, I didn’t quite know what to think. I quickly brushed the fears aside, and determined it was only a temporary issue. I thought due to my lack of sexual experience, it would resolve itself. However, when the situation kept arising, I was devastated, frightened, and unsure of my own masculinity. I was ready to quickly enter a world of deep depression. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Don’t Use Pickup Lines, Talk To Her

Creepy Magnetic Poetry (Pickup LInes)

If you’re  using pickup lines to approach a woman, you’re not going to get far. Traditional pickup lines often don’t work with women, and in many cases they are derogatory and insensitive. Most of them make one thing clear, you want to have sex with her. If you read any of the books, or techniques from pick-up artists, their methods aren’t pickup lines, but instead pickup conversations, or sets. Their engagement with a woman is focused on a series of questions and answers aimed at engaging in conversation. It’s an area where where dates are created on a daily basis.

Dude, maintain your wardrobe!

Photo By: 2Tales

A key to dating is having a good wardrobe. Women look at our clothing and determine if we’re a good match by it. Not keeping tabs of fashion or wearing the same worn shoes or jeans to every date makes you less attractive to the opposite sex.

Women do a better job at maintaining their wardrobe than men. While I don’t get their need for having a million shoes and dresses, there is some method to the madness. Women often tweak their wardrobe, every so often the take a shopping trip to see what’s available and what they like. What I’ve learned from this is, I need to periodically visit my wardrobe and add to it. This applies to every aspect of my wardrobe, including my underwear.

If there’s any lesson my male readers should pay attention to, this is it! [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Girlfriends Don’t Solve Life’s Problems

Photo by: mattbuck4950

I’ve always assumed, that moment I would have a girlfriend, most of my life problems would disappear. As if that final missing cog to make my life perfect was a girlfriend, who cared and supported me. Boy, was I ever wrong, and naive! However, I can’t help to notice several other of my friends feel this way, mainly men who have hit a dry spell. We often think, “the minute we meet someone great, everything will be okay.” Reality check, it won’t.

Girlfriends don’t solve life’s problems. Take some of my recent infrequent blog posts as an example of this. Life continues, work continues, needing to pay bills continues, and what ever position you were in before the girlfriend, you’re going to be there with her as well. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Rejection Isn't The End Of The World

Handling rejection is the most difficult aspect to dating. One of the reasons men and women hesitate from approaching is their own fear being rejected. Approaching a woman lays on the shoulder of us men, and having a woman tell us “no’ is a huge reason why we suffer from approach anxiety. It’s also the reason we act awkward when approaching a woman, we don’t know what to do.

Approaching a woman is simple if you keep two things in mind: first, act as a normal human being and second, don’t be scared of being told no. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Don't Grind Against Her Without Permisson

Photo By: icanteachyouhowtodoi t

I’m often infuriated by the lack of respect men have for women at clubs. Call me old fashioned, but I always thing you should ask for permission before you start to grind against a woman. Let’s be honest, permission is hard to get, especially in a packed club with loud music and alcohol. You may come off as intimidated, shy, and as some men would say a “female dog.” There are some women who don’t mind if you anonymously grind against them, but not every woman enjoys this act. There are ways you can get a woman’s attention and permission to grind pelvis’ against each other, without feeling you’re loosing your masculinity. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

How To Improve Yourself In The Bedroom

Photo By: Mr Java

We guys are often vexed by the female orgasm. It seems hard to find it, or to know if she’s having one. In reality, the female orgasm isn’t the moving target as we all believe it to be. It’s quite easy make a woman shiver while under the sheets than we’re led on to believe; we just have to stop thinking like men. Making us go crazy is quite easy, stroke us enough and we’ll shiver, shake and collapse in a pleasure coma. For women it’s a bit different, first you need to find her pleasure hot-zones, and second you need to integrate them while having sex. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Dating “Experts” or Just People with Opinions?

Singlegirlie is a cool dating blogger from the West Coast who I follow quite often. When I asked for guest posts for men, she was one of the first to jump up and promise a post! She wrote this post, which I felt is a great follow up to a post I wrote about on the same subject. You can read her blog on http://singlegirlblogging.wordpress.com

When @singlecityguy asked what advice I’d give to men about women, my first thought was, “Don’t listen to advice!” Okay, okay, that may be a bit much. Nevertheless, I am very skeptical of any person who doles out advice, claiming to be a dating “expert.”

What makes one a dating expert anyway? To my knowledge, no university offers a degree in dating (although in my college experience you’d think I could’ve earned one). So what is it, someone who’s currently in a successful relationship? Someone who dates a lot? Someone who writes a blog about dating? I don’t buy any of it. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
