Recently, I've thought about the phenomenon of humans seeking out intentionally self-harming behavior. "Cutting" is no longer the hot button issue it once was (or maybe now that I'm no longer a teenager it's no longer something that I'm as keenly aware of as a problem.) Yet, when I look at the...

I've long struggled with the decision...to swipe or not to swipe. Yet, it's recently occurred to me that while it's still in many ways in it's infant stage, Internet Dating is the Future of All Dating. No, real life face-to-face dating will not go away. But it will cease to be the main way...

Alright, so I said recently that there's no more need for Game . That's true in the sense that convincing uninterested girls into being interested is largely a myth/ineffective way of dating. Yet, the dirty word "Game" can't be dismissed entirely. We still need a word to define what you call it...

A lot of guys, especially shyer more inexperienced guys, have a perception on meeting women that goes like: Hot Girl is With Her Friends----Guy Walks Over----Girl is initially disgusted or simply neutral----Guy spits his "game" and she softens and gets attracted-----They go home together There's...

The Nice guy Finishes Last stereotype is rampant on GAG and always has been. Most girls on this site look at most guys on this site like desperate, rejected and bitter losers. It's not a kind assessment but it's the one most commonly held. Yet, I don't think either gender on here truly...

Recently, I've considered something. Why does this site have so much activity and yet never seems to make anyone feel better or really give much of a perspective. The reason, I believe, is because we need a better foundation. We need to take a step back and realize the most basic false premises...

-You never like where we want to go eat and we ask you what you want to do in order to save time It's not even about having no direction. We know where we like to eat it's just that you complain and we get pissed because it's like you wanted us to pick and yet you find problems with every place...

We don't all have fathers who are capable of confidently navigating the terrain of not being a corny dad who pretends his son is ten, and being a dad who is too much and acts like he's a bro. So, if you missed the simple things a father should tell his son about girls... 1) "Son, a lot of the...

GIRLS By far, the thing that gets in a guy's way are girls. Mentally, they take up so much positive energy because we are so attracted. Our short term brain says consume and overpowers the desire to work, grow, struggle in the beginning in order to enjoy a bountiful life later... Remedies -Stop...

There's a lot of chatter around her which seems to denounce masculinity as an oppressive and abusive force that crushes the souls of men and turns them into unfeeling aholes. Yet, masculinity, in my opinion, is a very fun concept which speaks to a lot of men regardless of orientation. PHYSICAL...

As part of my crusade to start writing more than to just guys having a hard time getting laid with high frequency. Let me endeavor to point out a few ways a commitment phobic male like myself can be spotted. He's Too Good To Be True And You Don't Know What's Wrong With Him If he's good looking,...

As someone who works in the industry, I can attest to UnReal's realness as a fictional documentation of the reality tv industry. What i wasn't expecting, however, is to see the first true blue example of an anti-heroine. Anti-hero/ Anti-heroine a central character in a story, movie, or drama who...

A lot of guys refer to being in the decider role as "flipping the script" on a girl. By this, they mean to turn it into a tactic. They realize that girls have egos as well and once disturbed can cause them to chase endlessly and give no heed to the actual value of that which they're chasing. For...

I was hesitant to read something that expanded the Harry Potter universe, but wasn't written by JK Rowling. However, I did it anyway and discovered it actually adds a lot to the story in it's own right. Sure, it's story was created by her and it's canon (officially part of the universe as...

4 Things Women Do To Seriously Turn Off Men 1) BAD IN BED This is a less obvious one because the general opinion is that the man is mainly responsible for good sex. This is true in one respect, but, on another, women are even more responsible. A woman who is nervous and uncomfortable may be...

Too Simple When a nerd gets his or her hands on a new game, it doesn't take them long to figure it out because they've played so many games they know how to ask the important questions: What does this game want me to do? What loopholes has the game provided for me to exploit? How do I make my...

We live in an incredibly social age. Yes, we lack a consistency of interaction with the same people and relationships in general are deteriorating. However, never have loners had their strangeness to the norm been thrown so aggressively in their faces as they have now. This take is for loners to...

"I keep going on dates feeling like it might not go well and sometimes it goes average and occasionally it goes really bad. I'm starting to get paranoid because I'm not getting a lot of callbacks. Maybe i should just be a player because when i do that i tend to be the one not calling back." Why...

Not Another Preachy My Take I was reading reviews of Tropic of Cancer before deciding whether I'd give it a read and noticed how women consistently hated it and men either loved it or just found it too heady to be digested at a comfortable pace. It made me think that there's actually a lot of...

Analyzing is like a muscle. You make connections and associations which lead to conclusions which are often highly complex and even brilliant. Yet, there's a coldness to the person who refuses to stop analyzing the social world around them. They separate themselves so that they may better...
