Be Honest With Your Date

There are millions of articles, websites, books and magazines dedicated to translating the hidden language of men. It’s not that we speak a hidden language, but we communicate differently than women. Generally we are seen as poor communicators, a fact I’m not inclined to dispute. Men are perceived as poor communicators because most of our communication relies on assumptions and actions instead of traditional verbalization. We speak, but don’t go into detail about every piece of our lives. The truth of the matter is we display our feelings differently than women, which causes plenty of confusion and frustration.

Women enjoy hearing our feelings and honest thoughts. The truth is more respectable than a lie or and more honorable than leading women to their own assumptions. A woman will often make assumptions based on our actions and their wants, regardless of they’re accurate. If we act as if we’re heading towards a long term relationship, when we’re just seeking sex, women will assume we’re working towards a long term relationship. Read the rest of this entry »

Be A Man, MAN!

Here’s a reminder to the guys out there, step up and be a man, MAN! Women aren’t very attracted to the emo, shiny, Twilight, vampire, boys who chase after them. They want MEN! They want guys who acts like a man, treats situations like a man, is decisive like a man, and who isn’t sharing their cosmetics! So, put down the glitter and makeup, stow the fragrances aside and MAN UP!

This is often easier to say than do, we all forget this little fact. I forgot about acting as a man in a recent situation when my friend, @aussieinthecity, reminded me to man up. It’s not that I don’t act like a guy, or act manly, but when it comes to dating I find myself making some very non-man like decisions. I become too afraid of saying something wrong, or acting like an asshole. Instead of acting, I begin to over think, and every decision becomes another question. It would seem as if someone else had taken my balls and placed them on a mantle for me to stare at. Read the rest of this entry »

Stop With The Naked Pictures!

Posted by Single City Guy in Tips for Men on December 7, 2009

No topless icon by the pool

Here’s a tip women suggest I share with other men. Stop putting half-naked or naked pictures in your dating profile! Many men have half-naked profile pictures, showing off their “awesome” chest, flexing their “awesome” muscles, and displaying their “awesome” body. This displays one thing to women, this person is a tool! I’ve never done this, and I’ll admit I don’t have the body to try! Even if I did, I have a bit more class and decency to put a damn shirt on.

Why Do Men In Their 40s Think I’m Old?

Posted by Single City Guy in Tips for Men on November 15, 2009

Before starting this blog, Simone Grant was my favorite female blogger. Her candor, humor, and honesty makes her a very interesting read and one of the staples in the dating community. Simone Grant is a writer/blogger who lives in New York City.  She blogs daily at Sex, Lies and Dating in the City.

One of my new favorite reads is More Magazine.  Although, I’m officially out of their target demographic, at 39 I’m not quite “old enough” (they “celebrate women 40+”), hehe.

The truth is that as much as I like some of the other mags for women, I feel left out. So many of the articles in other mags are obviously written by and for women in their 20s/early 30s.  And the differences in our life experiences is rather glaring, at times.

So today I was taking a break and reading More and came across this.  A question we’ve pondered here, on the blog, many times:  Why do men in their 40s think I’m old? Although I think the WHY is kind of obvious - because they can. I don’t love the advice given, nor do I hate it.  As a woman who lives with this issue I constantly have to remind myself that not ALL men in their 40s think I’m old.  Only some.  And while I have widened my search (I’ve always dated older and am now trying to convince myself to be open to younger) I haven’t given up on those guys in their 40s either.
