Part Five: Taking On The Chicks, Part Two

6. If you're not in the mood, explain why, as gently as possible, so they don't develop an inferiority complex.

How about this? Boys, contrary to what you may want to believe, the world does not revolve around you. Sometimes we've had a day that leaves us a bad or under-the-weather mood. This is not the best time for sex. Here's an image for you. She's pissed off. You pressure her for sex when she says she's not in the mood, frustrating her even more. You beg, she heads south. Do you really want to be on the receiving end of that if she's pissed off? Didn't think so. For once, believe us when we say "It's not you, it's me." It's true...unless we're breaking up with you.

7. If you asked the person out, you pay for the date. Otherwise, assume you're going dutch.

See above, in response to Radley's advice on paying for the first date.

8. If you're not sure how your partner is feeling, open up your mouth and ASK THEM. If you're not sure how your partner likes their sex, open up your mouth and ASK THEM. If you want your partner to know how you're feeling or how you like your sex, open up your mouth and TELL THEM (nicely, please).

Another problem area for most people, and sometimes even me. Well, the first two aren't the problem, it's the third. Granted, my view is that you should pay attention and all the problems there will work themselves out. I would say look for subtle cues, but the cues shouldn't be so subtle.

9. Don't discount the short guys. Or the nice guys. Or the plump girls. Or the lawyers.

Good advice! I think we have some rational women here, has Hell frozen over? My experience has shown that it's much easier and more likely to lead to a shot a successful relationship if you just look for the personality and traits that fit you. The rest kind of works itself out, and anything physical will be gone in 10 years anyway.

10. Visit our wishlist.

Well, I suppose if you visit that site and appreciate their advice, then do it. If you appreciated these responses then just leave an amusing comment or email. Just keep in mind that I'm still single. And I'm probably too young to really have a clue about relationships.
