I recently ran a community yard sale at my church with over fifty vendors, and because my mind is normally thinking about how to improve relationships, I ended up learning a few things about dating from this experience. I know this isn’t what people normally do: (Person 1) “I’m going garage sale … [Read more...]
Men are like dogs
Tradition maintains that dogs are a man’s best friend. I’ve heard two main explanations for this, but both are wrong; there’s truth to them, but they’re wrong. The first claims this because dogs are a great wingman. There is no denying that if you want to pick up ladies take out a dog for a walk: … [Read more...]
Women aren’t complicated… yes I said it & I’m not being sarcastic either
I have always been told that women are complicated. The truth is, however, they’re not. Women aren’t complicated. I’m sure some of you are thinking: “Who is this genius?” or I guess instead of “genius” you’re using a less than positive word: “Who is this (insert insult)?” I’m hoping, however, that … [Read more...]
To Cuddle or Not to Cuddle?
Who cares about cuddling? I do. I care. Why? Because I’m constantly getting in trouble for it. No, I’m not obsessed with it... maybe if there was a friendly polar bear, but that’s different.

It’s irresponsible. I’m watching him swing around and all I can think is: who’s going to clean up after … [Read more...]
Saying I love you
Looking at someone directly in the eye and saying: “I love you” is a bad idea... if you don’t know the person. It tends to scare them. Of course, if your goal is to scare them then this is a great idea. For instance, perhaps you’re in line at the grocery store and the person in front of you has a … [Read more...]
Some hate the idea that men are loyal
Last week I discussed that men are the loyal gender. This conversation tends to go two ways from here: “Wow, you’re right. Men are loyal,” or “You’re wrong!” said with an exclamation mark because they’re somehow offended. As it turns out, guys always agree that they’re loyal and women... … [Read more...]
Guys are the loyal gender
Men are known as a lot of things: rational, competitive, smelly, but under our emotionally stunted and sometimes gorilla like exterior we’re actually very loyal. I love saying that men are the loyal gender to people face to face because the response is usually something like: “Yeah right... oh, … [Read more...]
