The Cookie Cutter Man Doesnt Exist
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 19, 2010
When I started with Laurie Davis, she asked me who my cookie cutter woman was. What was she like? I rattled off a bit of superficial checklist items, she had to be tall, had to be into sports, and so on. My dream woman was the love child of Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Brooklyn Decker and Lucy Lu. This woman exists in two places, my dreams and fantasies. Read the rest of this entry »
Women Must Respect Men
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 9, 2010
There are common themes that emerge when I read many other dating blogs, women taking their hostility out on men. We’re often reminded why men are jerks, horrible assholes, and why a guy isn’t suited for female standards. This stems from the perceived notion that women aren’t finding their perfect guy, and slamming men for the bad decisions in men they date. This is an ultimate sign of disrespect, almost as if women don’t think a good, valuable guy exists for them. Read the rest of this entry »
Women Aren’t Entitled To Anything
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 8, 2010
“Well she’s got a hotty body, but her attitude is potty/When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty/I said “Shorty, would you call me?”/She said “Pardon me, are you ballin’?”/I said “Darling, you sound like a prostitute pausing”/Oh so you’re one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of an ATM receipt” – OutKast – Roses
Entitled women are the worst type of women in the world to date. An entitled woman believes men should always prove their worth. They feel men should always pay for a date, call within the first two days, meet their beck and call, be a certain height, and always ask them out. Some entitlements are warranted, but most aren’t, and some go to extremes, such as gold diggers.
Entitled women often believe that men owe them something for their time. They are the pretty, pretty, princesses who should have everything given to them. Not only are these women kidding themselves, they are the worst kind of woman to date! Read the rest of this entry »
Frustrated By Women Who Only Date Older Men
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on February 5, 2010
Aaliyah is right, “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number.” There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the current cougar or a manther trends, what confuses me are the younger women who often seek older men. There are several attractive friends I have, who enjoy dating “Silver Foxes” or prefer to be the younger 20 something in a relationship. This is paired with the fact that “women mature faster than men”. Fast enough for there to be a 20 year age gap between the two? I think not.
I don’t understand this trend, and almost believe it’s an excuse for unsuccessful women dating in their own age group. I’m not going to complain about woman who’s dating significantly older man. I’m complaining about the women who only seek to date older men and use the maturity excuse as a crutch. Read the rest of this entry »
Lessons I’ve Learned From Bad Sex
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on January 27, 2010
Bad sex happens. Even those who claim to be “magicians” in bed, often jump over the basics that make sex wonderful. Bad sex isn’t an indicator of a bad woman, but some of the best lessons I’ve learned about women come from the many bad experiences between the sheets. That’s not to say you should sleep with a woman to determine if she’s the right one for you, but great relationships usually have great sex. There’s usually a sexual compatibility that exists with those you’re dated for a while and those you’ve wound up in relationships. I’ve found some trends with the women I’ve had horrible sexual experiences with. Read the rest of this entry »
What’s Wrong With Me?
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on January 26, 2010
“To be frank with you, I’m ridiculously surprised that your response rate has been so low. Your cute, your profile is good…,” was the first few lines of Laurie’s response concerning my lack of success with OkCupid. Even with the increased message count, I wasn’t receiving many responses. I feel I’ve become the ultimate dating enigma.
I like OkCupid, but maybe the population on the website isn’t geared for me. Laurie suggested that I switch over to Plenty of Fish, or as I like to call it Plenty of Fail! I’m not a fan of their dating website, it’s horribly put together, ugly, and not ad deep as OkCupid. However my lack of major success on the website leaves me little alternatives.

Poorly Handling Dating Frustrations
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on December 10, 2009
Last night turned from a potentially good night into a car wreak. I allowed myself to spiral down a the path of a frustrated, upset, single. We’ve all been there, when life kicks you down and deflates your attempts to date. When the strides to improve seems to unravel easily. Last night my greatest fear became a reality, and it set me back. I’m sure the three beers I drank further aided the poor frame of mind. If I were to rate how I handled my frustrations, it would rank as a C-. Here’s what happened.

A Letter To the Women to Laughed At Me Tonight [NSFW]
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating, Single Life on December 10, 2009
Dear 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 »
Stop With The Naked Pictures!
Posted by Single City Guy in Tips for Men on December 7, 2009
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.

Tale of A Greedy Wingman
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on November 9, 2009
Last week, in a city that I’m not familiar with, I and a co-worker went to a club. Throughout the week he was the only person I had known and we’re both just as familiar with this foreign city. I figured he would be a perfect wingman as he has a relationship and I’m the single guy, this was not the case. While I enjoy my co-worker’s company out on the town, he’s a horrible wingman, seeking attention for himself and not spreading the wealth. Clearly he has not read the Wingman Code of Ethics.
