We Get it. You’re a Nice Guy. Go Get Bent Already!

Share This Article Facebook6Tweet0Pin0 Posted in: Date Ideas Tagged in: Dress, first date, gentlemen, impress, ladies This is part sarcastic, part application, and part true; Take what resonates with you. Laugh about it or live it! They are crawling over Tinder. With 3 out of 4 their pics displaying their bed. Or gorgeous bod. Or eyes. Immaculate style. Immaculate banter. That’s right…the classic F-boy. If you’ve been streak of nice guy, mix it up and consider dating a F-boy. They are in fact still men, with feelings and thoughts, like the rest of us.

On top of all that, however, these are typically Players. So play the game back!topadultreview.com Only if you dare 😛 Know the Type of F-Boy You’re Dealing With: In my either personal experience or recounts of witnessing f-boy charades experienced by my girlfriends, there is more than one type of F-boy, just like there is more than one type of girl player. There is the Artist, the Rebound, and the Sensitive. The Artist He knows exactly what he’s doing with every pawn he sets down. They are Uber in tune with a woman’s motivations. When in their vicinity, you won’t even know they are a player! They’ll do all the fine wine and dining, the sweet whispers, and the…ultimate stringing along. The Rebound On the other hand, the Rebound is clear as day about their intentions. “Let’s get busy,” dings in your DM. “I’m not looking for anything serious.” Their approach is usually laced with the baggage of just coming out of a relationship or simply, being emotionally jaded. And for the majority of the time, it’s true and they’ve just decided to be upfront about it. And girls still take the bait. There isn’t as much finesse in their approach. The Sensitive The Sensitive, is quite a intriguing type. They have both elements of the Rebound and the Artist. And I relate genuinely to this type the most! Similarly to the Rebound, they are still emotionally jaded but they are much more upfront about their intentions than the Artist.

Nevertheless, they are still smooth talkers who know how to maneuver the game of courting quite seamlessly. Strategize with the ‘Sex Card’ Let’s face it. 98% okay, I’ll give them 97%. 97% of a F-boy’s mind is on sex. So if you’re genuinely interested in this guy (who happens to be a F-boy), you have to at least NOT be afraid of the Topic of sex. We are in fact, grown women and men so sexuality is a natural and pertinent topic. If you’re someone who’s comfortable about your sexuality or have certain values based on sex, you’re Allowed to express it. Sweet Talk TALKING about sex isn’t the same as HAVING it. When you do that, you’d have entered a realm for the F-boy that he can relate genuinely to and also, give the vibe you’re just pretty chill. Someone who doesn’t take everything too seriously. Fun, light-hearted…honey to this boy. That’s His sweet talk. Know Your Boundaries There’s a fine, fine line between being receptive to a F-boy’s sexual innuendos and to simply being open. So I’d say use your gut. I mean if he’s just making some sex jokes here and there, just laugh about it. But if it’s too much, and you are indeed offended, obviously, stand your ground.

It’s fun and exciting to be salacious BUT don’t overindulge his ego and get stuck in the loop of him sending you sweet nothings every 3.A.M. Strategize with ANYTHING else You’re human. He’s human. F-boys still want pillow talk. F-boys fantasize about the sleeping with you. But how about after? You want to make him fantasize about the pillow talk just as much, or even more. Be authentic, meaningful, and vulnerable. Know when to Stop, to “Finish” Yes, Pun intended. You need to remember your intentions in interacting with a F-boy, a man of such caliber. Is it for the thrill?

Are you just in a rut? Are you looking for a new experience? What do you want in the long-term? The short-term? Above all, what do you want? Recognize the Game, the Rules, therefore the Exception For most of the time, F-boys are after another notch in their belt. All enjoy winning, most enjoy the chase, and some enjoy the instant gratification. If you play by the rules, and you’re a player as well, you’ll both get out of it, a win-win.

Along the way, if you realize you’re not in it for the game, and if you’re changing your rules, then something else might be on the horizon. Then you realize, he’s doing it too. And you’re both in it. Then congratulations.topadultreview.com You’re dating. Signup for Our Newsletter Get Us in Your Inbox!

Five Fashion Accessories For Men

Share This Article Facebook6Tweet0Pin0 Posted in: Online Dating Tagged in: Casual Dating, casual relationships, For Women Photo Cred: Greg Rakozy Whether it’s your first date, or a few dates in, or you’re spicing things up with a date night between you, there are topics and techniques to keep the conversation flowing. For example, when storytelling, try to get the length of your story just right (a few minutes long is about right,) as if it’s too short then you’re not creating the right effect and build up, and if it’s too long then your date might lose interest in what you’re saying. Here are a few ideas to liven up your conversation. Topics and hints One way of relaxing a potentially intense dating situation is to fairly share your past funny experiences.

There are many things you need to think about before embarking on this conversation. First thing is try to have a bit of an idea of what kind of person your date is, if this is the first time you meet. Some people are easily offended whilst others have very different opinions on a sense of humour. Don’t talk about anything which will be too embarrassing, as it could place you in very bad light, but also if you mention a situation which will be too safe then you may be in danger of boring your date. This is the perfect scenario to introduce your humorous side. Interests are always a good topic of conversation, as your date will get to know you as a person better. For example, if you are into online gaming then you might want to mention sites which interest you, such as Euro Palace, as you are able to keep up to date which the latest light-hearted new stories, and you are also able to post your ideas and opinions. You could mention how you like a little flutter in Euro Palace’s online casino, included the games which excite you, and the wins you might have had, showing your thirst for life side. You’ll love lots of things to do with entertainment, from creating music to watching films. If you are a bit of a film buff then there are lots of sites where you can have your opinion on the latest films, by leaving your movie reviews. If your date also enjoys watching films then you can communicate with them how actors play certain characters, or how you feel the story was portrayed. Try to find out what types of films they’re interested in, and then relate genuinely to those genres. If you both have very different tastes in movies then you may be in danger of alienating your date, so try to find some common ground.

What about talking about the last, or most interesting, holiday you’ve been on? You might have been skiing on the Finland/Russian border, or Genghis Khan warrior training in Mongolia, or Salsa dancing in Cuba. Whatever exciting or unusual holidays you’ve been on remember to follow the story and not go off on a tangent on anecdotes which are about you and your friends, as your date will want to hear more about the activities, rather than the people they might not have met (yet!)

Yes, I said it. And yes, I’ve tried nearly every dating app out there – Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, that breakfast food one – what’s it called… Toast? Donut? Pancake? Whatever,В it doesn’t matter. Point is, they’ve got you swiping through profiles like you’re ordering take-out – which is essentially what you’re doing. It’s love on demand. And by love, I mean a artificial filler. You know, like what they put in Twinkies to try and pass them off as food.

Both are bland, odd feeling, and very bad for your heart. See, it doesn’t matter how great you are, how smart, funny, or gorgeous, because when someone is using a dating app, they’re making their selection based solely on your photo. That’s all. They’ve already locked you into their brain as being a purely physical thing. You were objectified at the start, so you’ll always be an object to them. I know, I’m coming off like an asshole. But I’m trying to be real with you. I think this goes for both men and women – we sell ourselves on our surface qualities and then wonder why no one tries to go deeper. It’s infuriating, I get it. But don’t worry, I have a solution. A whole new sort of dating app. First: Let’s start with the profile picture It’s your favorite breakfast food. Yup, that’s right. No selfies, no shirtless shots, no oh look I’ve traveled so I must be interesting hullabaloo.

Just an unfiltered photo of your favorite thing to nosh on in the morning (or anytime). And don’t you dare put something healthy up there! Nobody’s going to believe that your dream breakfast is half a grapefruit, ya liar. Be real. Mine would be french toast with a cinnamon roll on top… and a side of cereal. Essentially, I want my profile pic to scream – I love carbs! It would also be dark outside, indicating that I’m eating all of that sugar and fat right before bed, because that’s how I get down.

Dating Along Party Lines: A Brutal Study of Politics and Dating

Next: A simple Q & A everybody hates the About Me section on dating apps and sites, which is why most people skip it or list three of the most generic things imaginable – I like music, movies, and travel.

Oh really? My God, you’re like a unicorn. Ugh. Let’s eliminate the About Me anxiety and toss in a handful of simple but poignant questions about what really matters. What time is it okay to get in your PJs, shut out the world, and binge Netflix? How many servings do you consider a large pizza? Who’s your favorite Parks and Rec character? In case you’re curious, my answers would be: the second you get home from work, two (if I like you), and Andy. Seriously, I’d accept any answer for the last question – except Mark Brendanawicz.

If you list Mark Brendanawicz as your favorite P&R character, so help me, we are sworn enemies. Forever. Then: The Captcha What’s a captcha? It’s that little box at the bottom of a contact form that forces you to put in a series of numbers to prove you’re not a robot. Ours would function in much the same way, except it’d be making sure you’re not an idiot. Find a breakfast food you like? Want to make contact? Well first you have to respond to a shockingly easy small-talk question to prove you can hold a conversation like a human being. Brilliant, right? Now, these will be different every time, but I’ve listed a few options below to give you a general idea of what I’m talking about. Hey, how are you? So, what do you do for a living? Are you watching anything good on TV right now? You have to respond in a way that would carry a conversation forward, in place of bringing it to a dead stop. BecauseВ let’s be honest, if you can’t conjure an “And you?” or something similar when you’re talking to someone, then maybe dating (or human relationship in general) isn’t for you. Finally: The First Message There isn’t one!

Why? Two reasons. Nobody wants to say they met on a dating app. No matter how mainstream quick-order dating gets, it’s still embarrassing and will always carry a stigma. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. It eliminates an asshole␙s ability to be an asshole behind the safety of their phone. No dirty messages, no cut and paste opening lines, no demands for justification of your favorite breakfast food. Instead, we’ll use the address and budget info you dropped into our private section to select the perfect first date spot right in-between you two. It’ll be cute, public, and quiet enough that you can actually have a conversation. As a bonus, since you haven’t seen the person, we’ll also treat you to that butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling first dates are supposed to have. Free of charge! And that’s it. That’s my pitch.

So forget the endless parade of dating apps and sites out there – faith-based, sex-based, activity-based, blech.  Go with one that’s life-based. Stop selling yourself short. Get past the BS. Remember what it’s like to see someone across the room and feel your heart skip a beat. It’s a game-changer. I promise. Signup for Our Newsletter Get Us in Your Inbox!

They suit your dating style and personality perfectly. You go on the date, have a wonderful time, you exchange sweet gifts with them, and you probably get lucky. So why is it that for the next week, you start thinking how blah or crappy it was? Blame Your Friends Odds are, that there is at least one friend in your social circle in a higher income bracket than yourself. Avoid these people as much as possible until ideally after St. Patrick’s Day. Why? Because the n ext time you see that person, you are going to be stuck hearing about how their partner surprised them with a last minute getaway and a ridiculously expensive and usually inappropriate gift. If you wait until after St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, then another holiday will have passed that you can focus your discussions on, and hopefully they will have forgotten the fact that they hadn’t told you about their AMAZZZZZING Valentine’s Day. Really, it’s just going to make you feel like shit for not being able to afford something equally awesome for your partner, whom you love just as much. It’s like forcing your mate to sit through the Notebook. You both end up in a bad mood because one of you thinks, “Why can’t we have a love like that?” and the other one is thinking, “F*** Nicholas Sparks and his unrealistic expectations of love. Has he ever BEEN in love??” Blame the Media The only thing worse than hearing your friends mention their awesome V-Day, is hearing news outlets and social media mention it.

I guarantee that you hear at least one evening news fluff piece on some cute and quirky marriage proposal more suited for Zooey Deschanel than average people in the real world.  You’ll also have to suffer through your local AM DJ’s discussing horrible Valentine’s dates, or amazing ones, yada yada yada. You can get where I am going with this. Unfortunately, I have no advice on how to stop this, as you can’t very well hide under a blanket in bed for two weeks….Or can you? Blame Corporations You know Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the fact that every single store has a Valentine-themed display, and bigger companies such as Hallmark and Florists capitalize on the day by almost doubling their prices. If you could get away with a cute, homemade card and some baked goodies, think of how much easier it would be! But that won’t happen, because big companies can’t make money off of it. The fact that they push it in our faces on a daily basis leading up to it puts pressure on us to find the perfect card, gift, flower, whatever to give to our loved one. If we don’t it is implied that we love them less. How to handle it Personally, I refuse to spend a ridiculous amount of money on some Valentine card when I can make a more thoughtful and heartfelt one myself. You don’t even need to be creative to do it! I also hate getting flowers.

My ideal Valentine’s Day would be a bottle of wine and the two uf us cooking a kickass meal together. THAT is what I would splurge on. В As long as your gift/plan has got meaning for you both, that’s what counts. And that is exactly my point. As frustrating as it may be to be surrounded by all this noise during the holiday, all you really need to do is focus on what YOUR PARTNER would appreciate. In the end, no one else matters but the two of you, and you wouldn’t let your family or friends dictate your relationship would you? Don’t let these guys either, they’ll jut ruin what would be otherwise, a sweet, romantic day. Signup for Our Newsletter Get Us in Your Inbox! Online Dating, Sex, and Relationship Advice Tips in Your Inbox… Follow @theurbandater Like this:Like Loading… Share This Article Facebook2Tweet0Pin0 Posted in: Relationships, Special Tagged in: Dating, depressing, holidays, Relationships, valentines day How many of us grew up believing the typical success story: that by ace-ing our grades in school, getting into University, followed by corporate employment is a form of success? You’re ‘supposed’ to fall in love and get married, get your house, your 2.5 children and live happily ever after.

That’s the model success story, just that life rarely pans out this way. The typical person goes to school, follows the system, get good grades and qualifies for a good corporate job. He never questions the curriculum, the value of the curriculum or if they even truly care about the subject or not. Interestingly, I get similar stories from my clients, they graduated from. University, got a corporate nine to five, wake up one day, shit hits the fan and life hits them.В They seem to have once bought into and lived the typical success story. This is also the making of the Mr. Nice Guy. The Nice Guy Problem and Metrics of Success You can argue that the typical success story is alwaysВ pleasing of societal and parental expectations. This leads to the Mr. Nice Guy problem. Nice guys aren’t actually nice, they’ve been instead forced to be nice on the surface for social approval. The nice guy is actually not that nice. He’s actually dishonest fundamentally as he attempts to get his needs met in a manipulative and passive aggressive way.В The asshole and the nice guy are now the exact same people.

They are both acting from the place of insecurity and unworthiness. Throughout my teenage years, I felt I was the ‘rebel’ and the ‘bad boy’ rather than the Mr. Nice Guy. In fact, I still gave too much a fuck what people thought of me, and was still unable to assert myself in a truly confident manner. The Nice Guy is always attempting to meet everybody’s needs and wants, but his own. The truly confident person is able to assert his needs in the world and get comfortable with getting his needs met in a timely manner. Nice guys often believe that by being outspoken or blunt is a form of politeness or niceness. However, their behavior often speaks otherwise. They don’t wear their heart on their sleeves and don’t express their real intentions. That’s manipulative behavior at best. Dr. Robert Glover a psychologist argues that the making of a Nice Guy is rooted in not being able to meet your own needs, but constantly meeting the needs of others. Children with inadequate parenting can grow up feeling like their own needs are unimportant.

This leaks out to all aspects of their adulthood life. He attempts to explain how childhood dynamics between the nice guy and his parents affect his behavior in adulthood. This gave me a lot of insight into my personal relationships with my parents whilst growing up. It opened up my eyes to how my dysfunctional relationship dynamic growing up affect how I led my life: how I asserted myself with girls, my academic performance and my life. Societal Expectations and Your Needs You can get a lifestyle that seems nice and perfect on the outside, however, you may feel broken and dysfunctional on the inside.
