Read MoreHere’s Why Women Shouldn’t Play Hard To Get

Read MoreMonogamy Is Not Natural (And Why It Doesn’t Matter)
It may be surprising to some of you to hear me say that monogamy is not natural, considering I talk about building healthy relationships with one person and not running around picking up women at bars, or something. Well, it’s not natural. In many ways it’s quite unnatural for us, actually. On a biological and instinctual level, if we did…
Read MoreWhy Your Dating Strategy Just Isn’t Going To Cut It Anymore
There’s an article in The New York Times called “The End of Courtship?” which I find to be more than a little disappointing.

Read MoreThen vs. Now: The Evolution Of What Men Want In A Woman
I was a late bloomer when it came to women. In fact, I tend to be a late bloomer when it comes to just about anything. But I also tend to make up for lost time quickly once I do get started. The image of a snowball rolling down a hill comes to mind. This…
Read MoreChange This One Thing To Improve Your Dating Life

Read MoreWhy You Shouldn’t Give Up On Love
Love hurts. Love stinks. Love sucks. …No, it doesn’t. Being betrayed, cheated on, lied to, broken up with, thinking someone is different than they are – those things all suck. Love, does not.
