My buddy Bill had a problem. He’d met this girl at a friend’s rooftop thing in Williamsburg. Cute. Funny. The kind of woman who orders mezcal and actually knows why she likes it. They talked for two hours. She laughed at his jokes. She touched his arm. Twice. She even…
Honesty is the WORST policy. At least when it comes to dating. Or, to be blunt: when it comes to making a woman want you. Yet everyone from your mom to your therapist (and every well-meaning friend in between) has told you otherwise. Of course they did. Slogans about honesty…
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression; well, to any guy who believes that, I say you don’t stand a chance with women—or at least not the sorts of women you want...
Making a statement is a bold move. That’s because statements are often non sequitur, having little—or nothing—to do with the flow of the conversation. In fact, statements often redirect the energy and focus of a conversation. This can either be very good or very bad. Thus, it’s important to use…

In Dante’s Inferno, traitors occupy the lowest ring of hell. And such would seem an appropriate place for someone who…
Before I delve into dating, let me digress for a moment. I want to confess something… I suck at sports. I’m uncoordinated. I don’t have much leg speed. And my body seems unable to accept the “proper form” of any sort of sports movement—from the wrist flick of a jump…
Writing a journal is one the best ways to spend your time. To me, writing about your experiences is like drinking a protein shake after an intense workout. The act of writing lets you relive your experiences from a godlike perspective as you examine your choices without emotion, allowing you…
t’s no secret I’m a loud critic of “The Pickup Community.” While some claim my criticism is a thinly disguised marketing ploy or an outgrowth of my own insecurities, the truth is much deeper than it probably seems. For me, I spent way too much time believing the hype and…
