I’ve been corresponding with a reader who is doing some good work on improving his dating skills. He was castigating himself for talking too much and revealing too much when on the phone with his current or potential dates. To help him limit his phone time, he now sets a timer (his workout timer) to [...]

Uncle Sam Wants You To Save Your Marriage!
NOTE: This is a re-post from March of last year. As my blog is getting far more traffic, I think it’s time to get some more eyeballs and mouse clicks on the websites I’ve linked to. I don’t own a television. Instead, I watch Hulu programming. The commercials on Hulu are not what might be [...]

On Nagging
During my first marital administration (the blond phase), I came up with a simple guideline to determine if my wife was nagging when she wanted me to do something. 1st time is the initial notification. 2nd time is a reminder. 3rd time is the first nag. I told her this guideline and her response was [...]

College Guys – Strike When The Iron Is Hot
A guy has a massively greater amount of social opportunities with women while he is a student than he ever will in the adult world of working for a living. And nobody is willing to tell a guy that when he is 19 or 20. Instead, he gets told, “Don’t worry about not meeting women, [...]

The Perils of Propinquity
Propinquity is just a fancy way of saying that something is close by. When we were at school, having lots of single young women around was quite the blessing. Being in close proximity meant a target rich environment. Parties were within walking distance and opportunities to interact with the opposite sex many. For a younger [...]

Incredible Comment
This past has nothing to do with a man’s Charisma but is tangentally related to relationships and is certainly about the power of the Internet. The comment originates from the Martin Luther King post and is a response to a Munson comment. It was written by a reader and new commenter, Sincere. Rather than let [...]

I Might Date Liz Jones
Deep breath. I am profoundly ashamed of the next few sentences I’m about to type. But at the risk of enraging feminists the world over, here goes. I want a great love. I want to disappear into the sunset with my soulmate. I want to walk down the aisle again wearing an ivory dress into [...]

I Have Unleashed Munson
A month or two past, I become familiar with tvmunson, an incredibly prolific commenter on several blogs. He’s at Hooking Up Smart, The Plankton, and some other Manosphere or Manosphere-connected blogs. His comments can be incendiary and calls for him to be put in banned camp have occurred on The Plankton. Frankly, I’m kind of [...]

Dating Advice From Two Bloggers (One Male, One Female)
The other day, I received some questions about dating from one of my readers. I answered those questions and then suggested to Moxie that we both answer those questions as part of a dual blog, simultaneous post. She agreed. My responses are in italics. Hers are in bold. As I gave her my answers first, [...]

Oh Boy – My First Hater!
A classy and sophisticated woman has posted this comment in response to A Woman Who Speaks Her Mind. Because unlike stoopid wymen, men NEVER, ever make stupid, impulsive statements without backing them up, or curse, or want to have sex for the sake of having sex. Oh I’m sorry, is my cursing causing you to [...]
