The 10 Best Date Movies (Part 1)
There are lots of great non-traditional date ideas out there, some of which I've even covered on this blog. But if you feel like going old-school and staying in, the movie night is hard to beat as a low-key, at-home, enjoyable date. Being a movie (and dating) buff, I proudly present my pick for The 10 Best Date Movies of Recent Time (Part 1). [...]
On Bullshit
Which statement is correct? (1) Never pay for a woman's dinner! Doing so supplicates you to her, and makes you appear as if you feel you have to "pay" her for the privilege of her time. Or (2) Always pay for a woman's dinner! Paying for a woman's meal can be a great way to enter the role of "provider." Doing so shows her you have resources to [...]
My Predictions for the Future
Greetings from a Starbucks in a fairly shady part of San Jose readers! People suck at predicting the future. To beat a horse that was beaten to death long before I was born, weathermen can't barely predict the weather beyond the accuracy of the coin toss (and weather prediction is, as future prediction methodology goes, fairly science-y). That [...]
Greetings Readers!
Well after a four month absence, what can really be said? Lots, of course! First, I should say that I was all but certain before I stopped posting I had uploaded one final post in which I explained that I would be taking three to six months off to work on my book, although I look back now, and see that I did not--oops! (You see, while for you, [...]
The self-helpers got one thing right, anyway: Be Yourself
I know I promised you a video in Monday's post, but I'm still bogged down with a cold courtesy of Project Kayak, and I do not look or sound human. So text it is! As someone who did an intense tour of duty in the self-help and positive psychology circuit, I've probably heard the phrase "Be yourself!" or some such derivative close to a thousand [...]
Tactic Tuesday: On Kayaking and Decision Making
Decision-making skills are important. They're important in dating, they're important in life, and they're important in choosing your extra-curricular activities. This weekend three of my very best friends were in town, one of which is getting ready to shove off to an Israeli Kibbutz for 7 months in a week. It was the last time we'll all be [...]
Helloooo Week!
Greetings lovely readers! I've been remiss in posting updates over the last week or two. The good news is this means I've been busy, out living life and having adventures in order to be able to relate them to you, here, complete with moral. So get ready for a great week! This week there's going to be a post every day! That's right: every day. [...]
If You Can’t Be Fed, Be Bread
As fantastic as I am, my big sister is even more fantastic. I, on the one hand, have constantly been told (despite my best efforts to tone it down) that my writing borders on pretentious. My sister, on the other hand, has constantly been told that her writing is fantastic and amazing. And there is a reason for this. Her writing is fantastic and [...]
Dating and AI
The link between the health of your dating life and artificial intelligence may not seem overly clear, but in the video below I explore it.
You are an Excuseaholic
My Dad used to say: "Excuses are like assholes; everyone has one and they all stink." You've probably heard something similar from a paternal figure in your life. I have my own cute little saying about excuses: "Excuses are like excuses: they all fucking suck so don't gimme that bullshit." I've been told it lacks a certain rhetorical je ne sais [...]
