The truth about Nice Guys
The dating world is a complicated one full of dodgy dates, misconceptions, and pigeon holing galore, and none more so than with the quintessential hard-done-by Mr Nice Guy. But…are ‘Nice Guys’ really that ‘nice’?
Trust me, it’s not because you’re the Nicest Guy On Earth™ why you can’t pick up women – it’s either because you’re [...]
Is women loving jerks and Bad Boys really a dating myth?
I’ve been reading a couple of thought provoking posts over at one of my favourite blogs 40s Singleness, in particular a post about women loving jerks being a dating myth, and of course it’s got me thinking.
Women do love jerks, i.e. the perpetual ‘Bad Boy’. Or if we put it in a language that makes [...]
Advice: Why do bastards change into ideal partners?
Mel asks “Why is it that men can totally transform themselves into the ideal partner when they finally fall in love, or meet ‘the one’, especially, if they’ve been bastards to their previous girlfriends?
Do they really keep up their good behaviour throughout their relationship (i.e. live happily ever after scenario)?

When Choice is a Killer
I’ve had some lovely quality time to myself for almost a week which has meant that I have got to watch more daytime crap than I have in a long time. Jeremy Kyle, Ricky Lake, This Morning, Oprah, Montell and Judge Judy have all had a bit of my time over the past few days [...]
We’re Hearing But We’re Not Listening: Turn On the BS Meter
It’s a new year, new start, bla, bla, bla, yet what I have been hearing about is the demise of many relationships and when I hear the stories, much as I think the guy is a dickhead, I’m inclined to think the woman needs her head testing. What is becoming very clear is that we [...]
