There's more to us than what's popping out of our dresses, you know.

I just got back from the happiest place on earth. And no, I’m not talking about Disneyland. Although Vegas is a lot LIKE Disneyland, but instead of candy you have booze and instead of rides you have prostitutes. Which I guess can be considered rides…. If I had spent more than three days there, my entire body and life would have started decaying as quickly as my morals did (just kidding guys, no secret marriages here!).

But beyond all the slot machines, free booze and horny people everywhere, Las Vegas is like single life grown in a petri dish; it’s bigger and more rampant, and it lets you observe some things. A lot of the weekend involved putting on our hottest outfits, going to the hottest places, and (hopefully) flirting with the hottest guys.  But somewhere in between flirting with the bouncer to get to the head of the line (which probably only works for Lindsay Lohan) and making eyes at the cute guy across the dance floor, it hit me: the giant singles meat market that is Las Vegas is not too far off from the giant singles meat market that is my life in Chicago.

Okay, you’re however old you are. I get it. You’re not thinking about settling down.

But you want to avoid dating complete losers, right? I mean, what’s even the point?

So here are a few tips for picking out the good ones while you’re still in college. (The dating world outside your university doors? A whooooole other can of worms.) Follow ‘em.

He’s Got To Have A Good Sense of Humor

Number one. Because, girls, if he’s cranky and depressive now, imagine how he’ll be in the Real World when he’s actually got Real Life responsibilities. (Read: He’ll suck.) Besides, why would you want to hang around someone who doesn’t make you laugh (or who doesn’t laugh at your jokes)?

He’s Got A Passion

If he says that his passion is you, get out fast. He better have some outside interests or else you’re in trouble. I mean, unless you like clingy men who bug the hell out of you every time you’re not near them and/or go into jealous rages. And you also want to know that he’s really dedicated to something because that shows an eagerness to make a place for himself in this world. If you want to be with a drifting loser, you might as well date the stoner-next-door. If you’re into that, cool, but I say it gets old really fast.

You Share A Lifestyle

Which is not to say you have to do the same things or act the same way or anything like that. Hey, sometimes opposites attract. But if you love to party and he’s adamantly anti-alcohol, you’ll find yourselves fighting over it all the time. There’s no way around that. Unless, of course, you compromise on something you care about and end up resenting each other. Make sure you both understand and respect the things that are important to each other. Read More »

Yes, it’s time yet again for another installment of “Ask a Guy…”, the place where a girl can ask a guy… anything she wants. Really, anything at all… just try me.

(all you have to do is leave a question in the comment section at the end of the blog… you don’t even have to use your real name. It’s that easy.)

So, without further ado:

Jennifer would like to know, “whats with guys immediately losing interest when a girl gives it up on the first night? I get the whole ‘make him wait for it’ thing, but will a guy really not consider you for a girlfriend if you give it up right away?”

This question touches on a phenomenon that has boggled my mind as much as it boggles the minds of a lot of girls, because I’m as guilty of this as anyone. There have been far too many times in the last year where I’ve dated girls up to and until the point that we’ve had sex (which almost never has taken more than three dates), and then I immediately raise anchor, get the hell out of dodge, and disappear at sea, never to be heard from again. But I think I’m starting to figure this out.

The answer to this question really stems from how well you know the guy that you’re getting it on with so quickly. If you and the guy have known each other for a while and are friends, this scenario probably isn’t likely to play out. The guy obviously likes you, or else he wouldn’t have been interested in even being friends. Therefore, he probably already knows about your propensity to give it up early on, but wouldn’t be deterred by this, because if its taken a while for you two to finally hook up, you probably both really do like each other.

My new obsession is the gym. Yeah, I’d love to lose a little weight and get into shape but my main motivation to go is because I’ve actually turned going into the gym into yet another way to be around cute guys. I’ve devised a strategy to getting to the men that I want all while looking super cute in my new gym gear.

Area 1 – Know you’re surroundings. The cardio area is for bitches. Yeah, I’m a girl…I know this…and I’ll do my 30-40 minutes on the elliptical, but do your thing and MOVE AWAY from the stair master. No men here.

Area 2 – Now that you’re good and slightly sweaty, let’s move into the weight-lifting area. Now this really depends on each individual’s “type.” I like the big, brawny, all-American men and this area is exactly where you will find them. Read More »
