The Short Cut

One of my friends has undergone a transformation. Friends dating back to the late 1990’s, I saw Lisa during a visit to the ATL three months ago. Let me start by saying that once accepted as a “friend,” it doesn’t really matter to me what you look like. And, as long as you aren’t offensive [...]

Getting back in the dating game can be a mental hassle. You have your past experiences, your future assumptions and your friends failed attempts at dating stories. When you are trying to date with an open mind it is critical that you reduce your list of physical standards to a minimum. Sisters you know that [...]

Sticky: Is sex over-rated?

I think it is funny. If you ask a woman what she wants in a man, her answers will cover a lot of topics. She will say such things like, being smart with money, funny, active, good natured, a family man, good looks or even a man with a good ear. But most women will [...]

What’s my age again? (Sometimes numbers DO lie.)

I have a network of educated, jet set male friends that I rarely share with female friends. I know them too well to do anything like that. The problem is often that pesky player identification or what I call DDA, Displaced Dating Age. Lots of not so charming things often go away with experience. Sagging [...]

Dear God could He be the One?

Since grade school we have crafted images in our heads about the perfect man. The first time we received that letter will you be my girlfriend check yes or no was the beginning of our yes or no options. Even as children we assessed the qualities of the opposite sex to determine if they would [...]

Let’s Get This Straight It’s Not a Lack of Good Men, It’s Lack of Good Women

I get tired of hearing  about a “Lack of good men” maybe the real problem is there is a lack of good women. I’m willing to bet if you surveyed 100 women and asked, “Are you a good woman?”, 95-98% would say YES. Turn around and ask those same women the same question with a [...]
