Getting dumped can suck, but most guys are used to it.
We’ve either been or known the guy that’s been blindsided and dumped by his lady. It’s not fun, but guys usually dust themselves off and dive back into the dating pool even if the pain still festers inside. I would be easy to take out our frustrations on the next woman we date. But what does that accomplish? Instead I suggest walking a few steps in a … read more
Let’s face it. Guys don’t like “the talk”.
In fact, most guys don’t like discussing their relationships or their feelings at all. Hey, please don’t shoot the messenger. I’m on your side, but it’s time we have our own little “talk”. I want to help you get your guy in the mindset of being open and honest about the relationship and make it as wonderful as it can be. Unfortunately, if we leave that up to men, it’s … read more
Once upon a time there was no Instagram, Tinder, Facebook, Match.com, Vine, and no sexting, texting, or even e-mail.
Can you imagine? If a young buck wanted to meet a nice lady, he’d take a deep breath, walk across the bar room, smile and say something clever like, “Hey, my name’s Steve.” If he was fortunate enough that she didn’t blow cigarette smoke his way, it was on him to keep the conversation going in the hopes of … read more
Women are easy to please.
Really? Yes—trust me. I’ve learned the hard way, and I continue to learn every day. Like most men, I used to view women as beautiful, exotic, unpredictable creatures; nearly impossible to figure out. I wasn’t doing the math. When guys don’t address the basics, women get complicated quickly. Like they said in Shrek, it’s all about the layers. Here are a few tips for guys that might help them keep their partners happy and their … read more

It is the best of times. It is the worst of times…for dating.
The deepening integration of technology into our lives has, in many ways, pulled the world closer together. However, when it comes to developing basic social skills and maintaining a sense of privacy and decorum it has also pushed us further apart. Dating is a prime example of the fallout, with both men and women paying a price. Let’s take a quick look at how technology and social media makes dating … read more
Yes, you read the title correctly. In this new world of ours, women have accomplished feats and held roles that were traditionally “male”. If you don’t believe me, just ask Rosemary Flores, a female wrestler at Curtis High School in New York who not only competes, but is also the captain of the boy’s team. And she boasted an 11-0 record including nine pins—against boys.
Things have changed and there are no signs of slowing down, nor should … read more
It’s ironic that nowadays, something as easy as dating has become a challenge and obsession.
Technology has made interpersonal communication and hooking up so easy and disposable that real dating is as difficult now as it was before the Internet or social media enabled our efforts.
