I like the articles but i also find it annoying that you direct your articles as a help for men lacking dating skills, when in fact your articles are so much more then that & very unisex, so please stop directing it to an specific gender & just write them for humanity.

@erica – you’re experiencing social polarity

I find it irritating and slightly sexist that you are always mentioning women as the sole source of positivity. In almost all of these posts, the title suggests a universal problem that has many different facets, and yet your ultimate example seems to be how often you speak to women, or if you see a beautiful woman (of which the description was almost offensive in its execution) how you should, would, might speak to her, etc. If these posts had less of a sex bias, or rather, were less romantically centric, I would find your blog much more engaging and, well, apt.

@Dude of Yang:

Words can be so limiting, but those two quotes capture the essence behind most of what I write on this blog. Great stuff!

Great article… there is some quotes by Kurt Cobain which I think resonates with this article:
“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” and
“I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not”

You know, I’ve talked to quite a few strangers in my time and I can’t remember ever discussing celebrity gossip unless it was along the lines of “what is up with all these girls leaving their house without wearing underwear these days? When did wearing underwear become optional?”.

Conversations with strangers are the adult version of play. Sometimes, the stupider and more random the topic, the more fun it is. Things don’t have to be serious to be worthwhile. What you need to converse to strangers is humility and a sense of humor, not a lobotomy.
