A primal man’s single solution to the waaaaaahhhhmbulance

I decided to spend 2 weeks watching over my Facebook friend list I titled “dudes.”  I have 8 Facebook friend lists that allow me to easily navigate what is happen in society at different levels: what are my male friends saying, what are my female friends saying?  I can see what’s going on politically (conservative, [...]

A guy’s POSITIVE guide to approaching women

A friend of mine who is a sociology Ph.D student and a good friend (who also happens to be a female I trust and admire) posted a link to an article over a year old titled “Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced“. Written by Phaedra Starling (nom de [...]

Smile more, talk less

Everyone has failed relationships — some ends come sooner than others, but as I always say: “if you want a big reward, you have to take a big risk.”  The challenge for us guys is that our risks have to be displayed through action, not words.  In recent times, I had a failure because I [...]

Rules of Initiation

One aspect of dating that is ignored by most males is initiating: who should initiate what, and when.  When a male violates the rules of initiation, he can quickly disrupt a woman’s high desire grade level, causing it to plummet faster than one can imagine.
Since all of these initiation tasks should have an article of [...]

She wants to see you again! HALT.

So you’ve gone on a great first date, or maybe even a few dates.  You’ve followed all the rules without playing games: you delivered curiosity for her life, you’ve figured out that she has a high desire grade level towards you, she’s not pitching tentative dates to you but solid ones, it’s obvious that she [...]

B-level Desire Grade

When it comes to assessing a woman’s desire grade level towards you, we always want them to have an A-level desire grade for us, but at the very least they need to be in the B-level range.  Anything less than a B-level desire grade means the relationship is actually over, but she’s too guilty in [...]

Turning the cheek from a kiss: dealbreaker?

A regular Facebook reader, Phil, tells me about a first date he recently had:
I met a woman for a first date coffee.  She gave me all the good signs: touching my arm, flipping her hair, great eye contact.  After the coffee date, she proposed getting a drink closer to where she lives, and I accepted. [...]

Ladyjargon: I don’t look that pretty today

Most man-focused relationship experts will always talk about ladyjargon that is common to every dating column.  My first few ladyjargon phrases are common ones, too.  A quick Google search of them shows thousands of links.  I feel that it’s also important to cover other things women say that are all definitely ladyjargon phrases, but ones [...]
