Guest Post: You can be a ‘Nice Guy’ but I need you to keep your balls and be a ‘man’
Recently I had to travel to the US, and one particular issue kept coming up.
My travelling buddy, while really sweet and easy going, was slowly driving me insane. I thought I was going to pull my own hair out and wanted to give him a happy pill or something, just so he would be able to talk faster instead of taking 5 minutes to think of a response to anything I said! My main frustration was that this guy could not make a decision for the life of him!! He was travelling with me because he is meant to be that little bit more savvy, but honestly it would have been better travelling with a stuffed toy!
So here is the thing: This guy could not make a decision, said YES to everything that I asked him, and seemed to have no sense of opinion himself, and on top of that was a complete and utter people pleaser! I don’t know about you guys, but isn’t this something that you would find just irritating? Mind you, some of you may be thinking that it would be great to have such an easy going traveling buddy…
No Ex On The First Date
You’re on a date. You’re both nervous and you make polite chit chat. Maybe you order a drink and loosen up a little and you’re both tentatively finding out about each other. You start talking about dating/relationships/how you’ve come to be on this date and somehow the conversation slips into the shock infested waters of [...]
Advice: Do men like it when women make the first move? And how much interest should I show?
Canada asks “Why is it that some men really like it when a girl shows interest in him, and others although flattered by it, seem to hold it against her?
Let me explain: I had a friend who asked a guy out by getting his number and sending him a text message inviting him for coffee. [...]
Revealing Your Past
Over at AskMen, Gary Jackson has some suggestions on what men should keep quiet from their partners. Now I must say that I don’t advocate dishonesty, but I have always said that there is certain information that neither of the sexes is particularly good with coping with. It may not be for the same reasons, [...]
Tips for Dating Without Drama
Don’t date if you feel cynical, jaded, or bored with dating because you will no doubt draw in people who perpetuate what you already feel and scare off the decent guys.
If you don’t want to spend a lot of time wrecking your head over whether he really likes you, whether he’ll call, or why he [...]
Age Gap Relationships
If I say Demi and Ashton, Tom and Kate, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, Calista Flockheart and Harrison Ford, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, and Madonna and Guy Richie, whilst they have their quirks (don’t get me started on TomKat…) they all have age gap relationships in common. But for us normal folk out there [...]
Flirting Mistakes
Being cheesy
Talking pure doo doo and being able to get away with it is something that very few people are successful at. I don’t deny that cheesy works for some people, but more often than not, it will backfire on you when you act slicker than an oil slick in Texas. This is one [...]
Dressing To Impress For Dates
Less is more when it comes to your breasts. You can accentuate your cleavage and your breasts without having to put the puppies fully out on show! Aim for a hint of cleavage so that there is some mystery on the date.
Try not to wear your work clothes. However if you do need to go [...]
7 Tips for Second Date Success
You still shouldn’t talk about your ex’s!

How to Compliment a Woman
My friend Annie Dennison Ph.D over at Smart at Love is discussing the issue of complimenting, or inadvertently insulting a woman. One of her readers approached a woman and complimented her on her ‘hourglass figure’ and ended up with a very pissed off woman snapping at him and slapping him across the face. Laughter aside, [...]
