The more new people I meet, the less I believe in the validity of the first impression. First impressions can be perfectly orchestrated and controlled. Practiced and perfected based on social nicety and experience. What a flawed science a first impression really is. They are the shallowest way to know a person and the most [...]
Reflect for a moment on how truly pointless it is to consistently return to a person that has proven time and again that they do not have, are not willing, or are not capable of giving you what you need. You're looking for the definition of a word, but you're asking a calculator. You went [...]
"I'm the best cuddler. Honestly, it's one of my favorite things." Newsflash, guys: Most of you say some version of this. You've all collectively decided that this is a must-say to women because you think we love it and it's gonna score you so many points. Nope. Not really. We hear it too often and [...]
What up, players? If there's anything doing my podcast has taught me, it's that everyone is playing games when it comes to dating. Intentionally and unintentionally. None of us are perfect at maneuvering through this new hyper-connected way of finding people to semi-regularly date with no labels until one or both of us ghost each [...]

I'm becoming de-sensitized to six packs. Yeah, I said it. I see the abs. They're there. I see them as an accomplishment and they're great, but they're just not what they used to be. Granted, I live in a city that glorifies an ideal body and I'm on the Instagrams flicking through seemingly endless pictures of intensely fit [...]

I do it and I've experienced the other side of it. Quite frankly, I don't know of a friend that [...]
I've been asked so many times, "What's the best way to approach a woman in a bar?" What I really hear? "How do I approach a woman in a bar without being annoying or having to face a harsh rejection?" For the men who don't hit on 27 different women a night, I'm sure it can [...]
First of all, let's acknowledge that there's nothing wrong with being single. In fact, there are a lot of perks. Full control of the TV remote and nobody touches your leftovers, just to name a few.
