Your Guy’s Guy suggests that being mindful of a few red flags can save time and streamline your search process. If the man you’re seeing has issues with any of these four … read more
It’s ironic that nowadays, something as easy as dating has become a challenge and obsession.

Valentine’s Day is a day most of us dread.
It’s commercial, pressure-filled, exploitive, and most importantly– forced and unromantic. I’ll leave all of that to next week’s other Valentine’s Day post. But there are two ways to look at V-Day as it gets pitched our way each and every year.
