Egalitarian Dating vs Accepting Gifts Graciously
The concept of an ‘egalitarian’ relationship according to feminist thought is down right bizarre in my opinion. I am a crude woman and I just can’t get my mind around it. I try very hard to avoid nickel and dime people. The price of dinner is always nickels and dimes, I don’t care where it is.

Getting Women To Buy You Things
I was sent a text message asking if I could do a post about getting women to buy you stuff. Again, this is mostly an attitude thing. I have no trouble with getting women to buy me things and do things for me. For instance, I have a girl right now who is giving me a big portion of her tax returns to pay for my college tuition. And I didn't even have to ask for or suggest it. So, why is she doing this for me? Believe it or not, although we aren't together, I treat her really well.

Are Women Insecure?
I recently had the pleasure of reading a new book from a great new author Eva Weisberg. The book is entitled ‘Get A Girl: By A Girl’. One of the greatest things that I took from the book is women being insecure. It is something I already knew a bit about, but after reading this I realised just how important it really is.

Avoid Being Battered – Recognize The Signs Of A Violent Person | Loveawake.com blog
Being in a relationship with a violent person is very dangerous. Not only are you endangering yourself, but you’re also putting your children in harm’s way.

Dating? Beware the Man-Child!
Dating for me is a means to an end. I want to find THE guy, the right guy, but he’s probably not going to materialize on my front porch with a bouquet of daisies and a ring (sigh). Inevitably I am going to have to weed through a bunch of toads, tadpoles and other assorted amphibians to find my man.
