What Women Want (in their own words)

Posted in Women And The World
I thought it would be fun to ask a few female friends to tell me what they liked and didn't like in men.  Don't take this stuff as gospel; there is a great study reported in the book Blink which reveals how susceptible our preferences are to unexpected surprises.  But hey, these are some smart

The other night, a female friend and I hosted a party on a swanky little hotel rooftop, with 60 or so friends and acquaintances; not bad for a Monday.  I think this officially makes me a promoter, but as the event went from 6-10 and was more of a cocktails and conversation thing, I don't

Being Mr. Social

Posted in Live The Good Life
I've met my last three girlfriends, and three of the last six or so girls I've dated, through social circles.  And these were some of the "best" girls I've ever been with. There were always some common threads to how I managed to build attraction with these girls, but today, I want to discuss how

A sad email today - and a situation that I think most men (and women) can identify with.  I've paraphrased parts of the email, and removed other things that may be too personal. I've been reading the social man forum for quite some while and so have david's forum. Right now I am completely heart

Happy New Years! Today's question comes from Aakash. So one of the things I've been working on on my road to being ever more social is how to become an integral part of an already established social group. Do you have any tips? Sure do... this is going to be a big part of our

Posted in Dating Done Right
A few weeks ago, I sent an email out about how to shift your relationship with a girl from 'friend' to something more.  If you're not on my mailing list, sorry... its been closed for about six months now (but I'm about to reopen it). Anyway, a reader sent this tip in and I thought
