So, not really a guide for surviving but hopefully for thriving. It's a landscape that in many ways mirror conventional dating and so hopefully it holds some value in both settings. What Makes You Hot: NOT BEING BORING I have found this to be phenomenally important when it comes to hooking up,...

As if it wasn't hard enough just feeling like it's ok to be yourself around people you find really attractive... It is possible to overdose on confidence. Mehhh pavlove mehhh thats stupid to say. There is no such thing damn you! Wrong. If you've ever felt like being at a loss as to what to say...

I was listening to a really interesting podcast where the lead singer of a popular band, Passion Pit, came out as gay and it got me to thinking. We go through so much depending on how "shameful" our perceived flaw is to ourselves and to others. We live a life of constant pain and mood swings...

Doing something out of your league, to me, is greatness not because it is something that people would kill for or because it proves how awesome you are--in fact these reasons are reasons not to do it. Doing something out of your league breaks the shackles of what you think is possible not for...

I recently asked a question about whether anxiety was a crutch . While it started off pretty evenly divided, it soon became apparent that i was once again offending the community by daring to even pose the question of whether anxiety could be an excuse to say have your life suck in someway....

"Calling me after midnight when we aren't dating is rude" Really? You act like calling you is a privilege which it's not and you acting like it is doesn't make me anymore inclined to believe it is. If you're hot to guy then this makes sense. if your biggest asset is on the inside than you may...

I can talk (and have) in length about different concepts that have relevance to dating, but what about it's application? I can talk specifically to males on this site and hope that girls can get something out of them, but why not mix it up some? I read an interesting article which goes into...

Anomalisa is a very interesting film for the GaG community because it deals with the painful emptiness not of casual affairs, but of relationships. These too can be just as empty when either the man or woman realizes a very painful thing soon after committing to someone be it through sex or...

I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH MY FRIENDS You'd love to be able to talk to girls as much for the rush of meeting someone new as from the actual pleasure of sex. But the problem is you're not unhappy with your life right now. You're content. You're ok with it. You're forever looking across the bar...

So you've learned how to get a date with relative ease. It may not be with a 10. It may not be with a girl you've wanted to ask out for a while and have finally found the nerve, but you can talk to girls alright and with a combination of friend groups, Tinder, and a general comfort around...

Ah, tooling other guys. It feels great to do and horrifying to have happen to you--especially if it's in front of a girl you like. Here's just a simple breakdown of what it means to tool another guy and how to defend yourself from it... No matter where he's at mentally, you put him in the...

There are two types of men I believe who get laid an incredible amount--far more than any man could ever hope or want to get laid. These are the alpha male and the wandering caveman. I choose wandering caveman as the other choice because, to me, alpha male has always referred to something...

Seduction was originally an art women used to establish power in a patriarchial society, and it's probably for this reason that many would say women are light years ahead of men when it comes to seduction. It's taught from birth...with a daugter seducing her father into buying her things,...

I've been guilty of corrupting good guys to the dark side of female exploitation and while much of it is done in the spirit of empowering "nice guys" out of feeling rejected and socially impotent, there's something to be said for the good guy lifestyle. It Feels Intrinsically Good When you're a...

Gentlemen, I've seen a lot of girls beating you up on here about being the nice guy and how that's boring and how you can't bore a girl into a relationship and you can't treat her like a girlfriend when you just met if you want any chance of her being into you. This is all true. However, I think...

This is really old news but came to my attention because of some take that was written on here where Nash Grier was attacked for something ridiculous. Essentially, the vine star makes videos about himself ad infinitum and girls watch them becasue they think he's very good looking and has a very...

Some have called me out on being an outspoken feminist and yet saying many things that one could consider a little "bro-ish" or male centric. As a male who thinks of feminism as simply a movement to get women equal rights, I finally understand why, in my opinion, there are so many opposed to...

Yes, we always see the confident guys in a blazer and perfect teeth swoop in and get the gar with his cheesy charm. Or you see the oddly cocky fat guy who just has a ball wherever he goes and girls love him for it. But what about the other guy? The guy who's not particularly confident or extreme...

I've been back and forth with whether or not Tinder is a good thing for the dating world. I'm still leaning towards no for the major reason as it acts as a crutch to guys who fear walking up to random girls. I've seen guys swiping while girls are literally in the same room just sitting there....

So, one thing I don't enjoy about myTakes is that they ultimatly have to be pretty preachy. By nature, you're a bit narcissistic to write some personal idea you had and think it's important enough for everyone to have. So one thing i might start trying to do is fusing the ask and take into one...
