 Chris Rock once said a man has two options:
“Married and bored or single and loooonely.” While we’re married
(but not bored!), neither of us understands being single and lonely in
this day and age. How could you be? There are so many people and so
many options for dating and ways for people to meet, not like when your
grandma and grandpa were young. If they didn’t live in the same town,
go to the same school, or have a mutual friend who demanded that the
two have a cup of coffee together because "they'd be perfect together,"
there was no way they were ever going to connect. And the chances of
dating someone from “outside the community” (religion, race, class,
gender, housing complex)? Not happening.
We at Be
Better Guys fondly remember dating and have both been in serious
long-term relationships. That being said, we have some hard-won advice
we want to pass on and we've enlisted the help of some of our extended
community to offer some of their guidance, also. See, you can never
have too many tips when it comes to success with the opposite
sex. Which isn't to say you should overthink your love life. Just like
when pitching a baseball - know your technique, then relax, rear back
and throw it and remember to have fun. Dating and relationships, like
sports, are about having a good time. And just like with sports, the
more you know and the more you play, the better you get. At least
that’s how we remember it.

The world’s gone totally mad. People are either too busy or too jaded to care about things we should always care about. Seriously, we’re so busy that we can’t make time to sleep, time to eat, and now we can’t make time to date. The process of meeting someone has become so arduous, we can’t wrap our minds around doing the "meet and greet" thing another time. What if she’s not the one? Why waste all that good energy on some woman who isn’t going to be around away? Enter online dating. You submit a few photos, answer some questions, and write a few witty lines and you’re as good as hooked up with your dream girl, right? |

“Women, can't live with them, can't live without them.” – Desiderius Erasmus, 16th Century
“Don’t date the Cat Lady.” -- My (suspiciously-married) buddy Dave, 21st Century
The subject of women – who to pursue and who to avoid - has been discussed, fought-over, dissected, and eventually the conclusions are passed-down from generation to generation. What every guys should know are the women you should never consider dating, even remotely seriously. Sure, there are probably thousands of Internet-fueled “lists” of women to avoid. I am assuming the task of compiling a “Top 10” list from my experiences and will try very hard not to regurgitate many of the hack, gender-specific generalizations (see: cat lady). I’m going for originality here.I hope this list helps you identify and avoid the hell-spawn that walk among us. Consider yourself warned. |
