Developing Confidence in Approaching Relationships

by Tobe Hitch June 7, 2011

Confidence is extremely important in any relationship. There is a profound difference between arrogance and confidence. Arrogance = douchebag status, where guys or girls think they are hot shiz but really are just annoying and socially awkward. Unless they are hot. In which case, society and I are willing to overlook a lot of major [...]

The First Date

I went on a handful of first dates this past year, trying to see if any of the girls had potential to stick. First dates are awkward as hell! That’s the first thing I want to say right off the bat. How do you interact with someone who (for the most part) you’ve never met? Let [...]

Online Dating

The subject of online dating is the brunt end of many jokes. I, myself, have been very liberal about lashing out (half jokingly) against sites like E-harmony, Match.com, or dateacougar.com…although, admittedly, finding a rich cougar to go out with sounds…pretty damn awesome the more and more I think about it. Why is this such a [...]

This is a guest post from Tina Lemon. ENJOY! The set-up gets a bad rap.  It sits just under browsing personal ads on craigslist and events like Speed Dating for Cougars in the “I’d rather be single than do any of these loser activities to score a date” hierarchy. But let me tell you something, people, [...]

Getting Over Hopeless Infatuations

It sucks to be stuck in a hopeless infatuation. In a scenario like this, a person is in love with a girl or guy that he/she knows it will never work out with (or that is just bad for them), and yet this person can’t help himself/herself. This is different from the Tree Chopping Concept–with [...]

Deal Breakers in Relationships

Let’s say that you’re going out on a date with a girl, and well, things are going pretty well. You guys are laughing, enjoying each other’s company, and the food is delicious. During the course of this awesomeness, you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, and while you’re taking a pee in the urinal, [...]

Why Nice Guys Finish Last

The nice guy. You either know of one, or quite possibly you are one. It’s good to be the nice guy, and you should definitely not feel too bad about it. However, when it comes to dating, the nice guy really does finish last. And I know that a lot of girls out there protest [...]

How to Handle Rejection

Rejection. That word sends shivers down the spines of so many men, women…and…others?…out there, that quite frankly many of us do everything that’s within our power to avoid this feeling. And to be quite frank, on many levels, it sucks. It sucks when you ask a girl/guy out on a date, and they come up [...]

Gender Roles in the 21st Century

Do you wear the pants in your relationship? There are so many gender roles that men are supposed to fulfill, that it’s always entertaining to poke fun at the various guys that I know that are whipped. The guy is willing to do anything the woman wants to do, and every time they get on [...]

The Tree Chopping Strategy

Can you hear the lumberjack endlessly hacking away at a stubborn tree, desperately hoping that the hours and hours and hours of labor he puts into trying to bring the tree down will finally pay off? Sometimes, the determination works. Most of the times, he has no other option except to give up on the [...]
