Since I’ve introduced my list theory, it has helped me focus on the women I should be dating instead of the women I want to date. It’s the difference between an attractive woman who fits me and the hot blonde who’s good only for her looks. When I first introduced it, I felt as if I was skipping over something important. By definition, if you’re not considered an A, B or C lister, you’re in the friend zone. There is a fourth option, the people we never expect to date. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Long distance relationships seem less taboo and more feasible in the todays modern world. Travel is relatively fast, it takes roughly 6 to 8 hours to fly from the East Coast to the West Coast. In a recent flight to Cleveland, it took me roughly 2 hours to travel from city to city, that’s some people’s daily commuting time in NYC. I’ve seen plenty of successes in initiation of long distance relationships (LDR’s), but very little success in the long-term maintenance required of any relationship. Everyone who begins a long-distance relationship believes it can work. No one ever tells you is the amount of energy and stress it takes to maintain one. It takes more energy than a traditional relationship. This doesn’t mean it’s not feasible, but you need to prepare for a rough road ahead. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

In 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.
