A reader writes: I’ve never been happier as a man since acquiring the “soft harem” of three gals (I leave one slot for bench substitutions/one nighters) from which I am getting regular sex and entertainment. Am I going to become spoiled and destroyed such that I will never commit 100% to a single woman again. [...]

Creating Clever And Charismatic Conversation
[Yeah, the headline ain't so clever, sue me.] Good conversation doesn’t come naturally to many men. Shyness and fear are the two obvious barriers to good conversation. To help overcome that, I always recommend the website Succeed Socially (link below). The other barrier is knowing what to say and when to say it. This is [...]

Off Topic – Let’s Talk Tech…
Deep in my soul beats the heart of a Luddite (link below). Because of this, I am not an early adopter of tech gadgets. When I take my annual motorcycle trip up to the mountains, I use an analog GPS. It’s called a paper map. When I do actually purchase technology – say, a laptop [...]

500K Page Views & Blog Recommendations
I must recognize milestones. February was this blog’s one year anniversary (link below). As of today, I will hit 500K total page views with almost 300 blog posts. As I don’t have access to sophisticated traffic statistics, it’s difficult to determine just who is reading my blog. But looking at from where my traffic originates, [...]

New Manosphere Word!
Hear ye! Hear ye! An uncommon word has surfaced in the Manosphere (link below) and it must be spread widely. The word is: Uxorious Definition: Excessively fond of or submissive to a wife This is a spectacular word in its laser beam focus on something that happens to too many married men who lack Charisma.

If You’re Not Reading “Awful Profiles by Women”…
If you’re not reading my “Awful Profiles by Women” page (link below and above), you’re missing out on some awesome comments. A loyal reader, ZLX1, has recently posted the following – it’s incredible and I’ve not touched a single word in his comment: I didn’t say anything about the woman’s looks. I submitted her age [...]

Online Dating And Geographical Undesirability
A regular reader sent the following email [parts of it edited]: I’ve been active in online dating for about two years now with inconsistent results. Currently I post on OKC and POF. I reside in a small town, essentially an ex-urb, about an hour from [big midwest city] and about the same distance from two [...]

Escalation Trajectory
Finally, it all came together in a very nice choreography of Charisma. This past Friday, after work, I stopped in for a glass of wine at my local wine shop/bar. There were about five or so patrons at the bar, most of whom I am acquainted with. They were all clustered together for conversational purposes [...]

Weekend Weirdness – Gin
It’s a Saturday night and I’m actually pleased to not be on a date. I’ve got good Pandora music on the speakers and an ugly dog at my side. As it is a Saturday, I’m having a fine gin and tonic with lime. The tonic water part is somewhat interesting (link below) and directly appropriate [...]

Addressing Social Awkwardness
Human beings are social animals. Given the conditions of our hunter/gatherer forebearers, it was vital to band together for survival and reproduction. The urge to be social continues on for most of us. There are certain skills to be successfully social, primarily, don’t make other people pissed off or uncomfortable. Even brutal and domineering dictators [...]
