Untitled by by courtneyBolton

Women often ask their male friends, “Why do guys love [insert sexual activity here] when it comes to the bedroom?” The response we give women range from “I don’t know we just do, why do you love shoes?” to a blank stare as if you were a Martian from a different planet. The fact is, there are some facts as to the way we think about sex. You don’t have to understand them, you just have to know them. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Why Men Don’t Call: You’re Not Memorable

I hate to tell you ladies, one of the biggest reasons we don’t call you, is because you’re not memorable. You may think you’re memorable, or that you should be the person every guy flocks to; but the truth my hurt more than you would like it to. Who cares if you have great legs, large breasts, and a killer figure; if there’s no sustenance to it all, who cares? Think to the dates you’ve enjoyed yourself and had a great time and everything seemed to be going well. At the end of the date he promises to call, and never does. Why? He could be extremely busy, but if he never, ever, contacts you again, it’s because he’s moved on. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Why Men Dont Call: We're Busy!

Photo By: wrestlingentropy

In some recent conversations on Twitter, It became clear that I should highlight the reasons men do not call. One of the first reasons is possibly the most obvious, we live hectic lifestyles. That’s not to say women don’t live busy and hectic lives, but this post isn’t about the reasons women don’t call.

Often, when I’ve not called a woman, it was often due to the clutter and chaos in my life. I didn’t intentionally mean not to call her, but if I had to choose between working to pay the bills or calling a woman, she’s going to have to wait. Often calling her would be put off so long, it didn’t may any sense to call. Many of us figure, if we don’t call in three or four days, we may be out of luck. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Lessons Learned From Being Rejected

Every man is scared of a woman rejecting their advances. I was often paralyzed by my attempts to grab a woman’s attention only leading to a quick and simple brush off. Even the act of her saying, “no” grasped by body with fear. Lets face it, women can be ruthless when approached by men. Rejection is blow to the ego, and derails any momentum. Often, when I was dealt a rejection, I would analyze the reasons as if I was a scientist at a secret lab. Was it my approach? Am I not attractive? Do I smell?

Rarely would I come away with a useable answer. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

“The guy I went on that date with texts me a lot, calls at least once a day. How do I tell him it’s not necessary without hurting him?” – Blown Up Phone

When a guy texts and calls a lot, he’s worried you may disappear. It means he likes you and afraid, not that he’s insane. His own insecurities have risen and taken over his thoughts, and all he can think about is “she’s going to disappear!”. When I’ve done in this in the past, most of the women have run away, and I’ve never heard from them ever again. I wish I was calmer in the process. There is a better way to handle this situation, while maintaining respect for him and yourself. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

She Knows My Style

“You know, I was looking for Yankees tickets, because I get a discount, but I couldn’t find any. The only one’s I found were Mets tickets. We should go to a baseball game together,” Rule Breaker said over the phone a few days ago. It made me smile and stilled my heart. She had been paying attention. While baseball isn’t my favorite sport (football and basketball come first), it’s baseball season and, as a date idea, I threw around going to a game with her. I hadn’t been to either of the new parks (Citi Field or the new Yankee Stadium), and would have liked to, especially with her. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Don't Be Upset: Guys Look At Other Women

Photo By: Frederic Poirot

Men aren’t blind. When we notice an attractive woman on the street, we take a look. If we are with our boys, we may comment or share a look with each other. This happens regardless of our relationship status, single, dating or in a relationship. It doesn’t mean we aren’t thinking of the person we aren’t thinking of our significant other, it just means we aren’t blind. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Why Do Men Pull Away From Committed Relationships?

Photo By: Raelene Gutierrez

Evan Marc Katz asked his readers this question on his blog. I feel the question continues incorrect stereotype about men. We want to be in committed relationships, but like everything else there’s a time and place for such things. Women need to find qualities in men that reflect commitment, opposed to seeking certain things from a relationship. However, the answer to the question relies on timing. Men like to know the person we’re dating is just as committed and wants us, not our things. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Why Men Cheat

Photo by: Marc Brakels

Women are told, men always cheat! Men are told we are cheaters and can’t help ourselves. Additionally, we are encouraged to cheat, often reminded that we’re lacking without multiple women hanging off of our body. The truth is everyone cheats: men, women, lions, dolphins, etc. Women always ask “Why do men cheat?” As if they are completely innocent. If a woman cheats, there was a reason for it, he was disrespectful to her, wasn’t doing his job in bed, or was an asshole. If a man cheats, it’s because he’s a man. In reality, men cheat for the very same reasons women cheat. It’s not a man or woman thing, it’s a human thing. Not everyone is faithful.

Men don’t cheat because we’re seeking sex from anyone with two legs, it’s because there’s opportunity and access. Some of the rationale for cheating comes from the images we’re feed by mainstream media in today’s over sexualized world. Those ideas are merely suggestions, as there are plenty of other suggestions that recommend living a wonderful, monogamous life. The root of why we cheat really boils down to a few basic reasons, there may be something missing in a relationship, we may feel unsatisfied, or we were never ready to be in a committed relationship.

Women Must Respect Men

Photo By: Rafael Lopes - Dillbert

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]
