Guys, we love you ... but you're clueless.
A friend sent me a link with the note "TJ, you'll find this absolutely chortle-worthy". It was an article with dating tips for guys. And yes, I DID find it quite chortle-worthy. Poor guys; so many of them are just clueless. Let's blow the lid off these ridiculous "dating tips", shall we?
Dating tip #1: Take women on cheap coffee dates.
The author encourages guys to meet women for coffee instead of taking them out to dinner, because it's cheaper (yes, he really said that). Ohhhh, what a romantic - you met me at Starbucks and expected me to pick up my own tab! What a knight in shining armor you are! Get a clue, buddy: that's terrible advice. We want to be swept off our feet. Dinner date drama make you nervous? Uh ... TOO BAD. Welcome to the dating world.
Dating tip #2: Be the strong and silent type.
Shut up. No, don't shut up. Now, I don't want to hear your life story on the first date; but I don't want to carry the conversation, either. I've been on dates with the silent type; it's a BORE and a DRAG and I never returned their phone calls afterwards. Women hate talking to men when it's like pulling teeth.
Dating tip #3: Make snotty comments
This is to show the woman that you're "not impressed" with her and supposedly creates interest and attraction. Oh, come ON. Who actually buys this stuff? The only woman you're going to attract by insulting her is a chick with really low self-esteem who thinks she thinks she actually deserves your snide remarks. Try making a long-term relationship out of that.
Dating tip #4: Don't compliment her
Wow. Asshole. Really?! Now, I'm all for avoiding pick-up lines, or insincere comments; but honestly, even the most gorgeous woman in the world only feels gorgeous when the guy she cares about tells her so. The author's reason for avoiding compliments is to (again) devalue her and show her you aren't impressed. Okay, MORON, if you aren't impressed with her, WHY DID YOU ASK HER OUT?
Dating tip #5: Date multiple chicks and brag about it
You ... are ... an ... idiot. Really, buddy? Each of this guy's "dating tips" is stupider than the last. He obviously isn't interested in pursuing a true relationship: all he wants is tail. I hope he winds up miserable and alone. If you're romantically interested in a girl, PURSUE HER AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL OTHERS. Geez, what a no-brainer - but apparently guys don't get it. From our first date, my husband fell hard and fast; he then pursued me single-mindedly. Result? He got a "yes, I'll marry you" out of me in under three months.
