I seriously feel everyday I see someone asking for girl/relationship advice... so why not put it all in one place?

Bex and myself have graciously offered our services as inside information on the female gender. I'm sure the few other females here on NICO wouldn't mind chiming in.

So.



What's on your mind?

seeing as how i've been out of the game for a while (missed out on dating lots of girls in HS and my first two years of college due to a long relationship that ended up going south) where is the best place to start searching again?

i miss HS but its slightly illegal for me to go there again

so... best place? looking for mainly sex... maybe a couple of dates... NOT looking for herpes

Kinda the same situation as you except with the long term relationship being the last 2 years of college. After having a job and money now, I'm going to clubs and raves to hang out and meet people. Its where the women are

well, considering me and Michelle are both taken....

j/k

your friends are actually a good place to start; they might hook you up with their best friend who they know is totally cool but they don't want to ruin the relationship by taking it to a physical level

here's a couple of things to remember though; you don't want to go to a bar to look for a girl you can take home to Mama and you don't go to church looking for a girl who is willing to get naked with you in a darkened stairwell

stay away from the jailbait; it's nice to look at but you really do NOT want the drama

sex for sex's sake is NOT a bad thing; there are women out there who want the same thing, you just have to be willing to be really open and honest with them; they don't want to play games either

**ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF!!**Let's be honest. Yes sex feels better without condoms but no piece of a** is worth a disease or an unwanted pregnancy.

this is my biggest issue... you know what you get in a 5 year long relationship and i've been 'spoiled'.... using protection seems to be a downgrade

but yes... i wasn't planning on going to a bar looking for a girl... where i'm from all those girls are redneck/hicks... nothin against that type other than it r not my type

I'm in accord with Bex, however, I used to go to Church all the time. Jesus is really not happy with me right now.

But... if the bar is a no go, I really suggest the gym. But please please look for a male figure with her. It may be her boyfriend. But my friends and I go to the gym all the time, and most of these girls are single. So... good healthy place to go.

Malik, maybe I will. May take me some time. Maybe Becky and I will discuss haha.

Honestly, a lot of girls are looking for no strings attached things. Most will not admit, for fear of looking like a whore.

Ryan was supposed to be no strings attached. Then we did something silly and actually liked each other to keep each other around.

I don't get ANY of you.

As for women being evil...I have no problem with that. In fact it's quite attractive.

Because we can play the game better. We remember way more s***. I, for one, am not diabolical. Generally. But I possess the ability to be.

We recognize this, and we know how to control it, and thus, use it to our advantage.

That's why we're evil.

There is only one objective. No hoops.

People will find much more success if they do the following:

Figure out who you are.People spend too much time trying to be who others want them to be. If they trick someone this way, one of two things happen; the other person figures out who you really are and bails, or you live a lie and die regretful.

Only after completing step one, can you move to step two. Figure out what you want.Once you know who you are, you can determine what you want. Only then can you effectively determine who amongst the people you encounter, meets your wants. If you ignore what you want and go after what you think you are supposed to want, somebody, likely both will be unhappy and again failure.

Step three is the really tough one.Plan on being alone and prepare yourself. It's true that there is someone for everyone. It doesn't matter what kind of freak you are, somebody is down to hang with your freaky a**. If you are honest with yourself, with the rest of the world, and look for a freak like you you have set yourself up better than others. The rub is, there is no guarantee you bump into that freak. If you accept that all you can do is pursue happiness and plan your life around being alone you won't get desperate. Notice I refrained from saying "need." When you are needy, you don't make good decisions and you negotiate from a position of weakness.

I think people ignore obvious signals out of fear of being alone. Most people I talk to can do a detailed after-failure analysis of their failed relationships. In hindsight the signals are clear. They are clear at the time too if you respect yourself enough to look critically at your significant other.

This whole mars/venus thing is a lame excuse. If people took the time to really listen and understand the other person it would be easier.

Guys, when you are getting ready to leave and you grab your thug gear and she says "is that what you're wearing?" assume nothing. You girl might care, she might not. Chances are if if she emphasized THAT, she may not like it, if she didn't she may be genuinely inquiring for the purposes of dressing similarly. The trick is, hear it, think about it, and if you aren't sure, ask her! Many women don't come right out and say it, some do, learn your lady and meet her halfway.

Ladies, you need to listen to your man but in a different way. I'm sure there are unusual guys with subtle levels but speaking for myself, and every other guy I know, we are pretty 1-dimensional. You need to not analyze so much, unless you know you have a deep man. Otherwise, when your man says "is that what you are wearing." that's it, we asked a question with no agenda. We make the same mistake you do and think you think like us, we don't. So, if you have an important feeling you are trying to convey, hit us straight with it. We are straight to each other and we will usually do most anything if asked directly and respectfully. Instead of saying is THAT what you are wearing, and expecting us to get it, tell us it's a problem in a fair way. Most guys are clueless about fashion and are lazy, we are happy to be your doll if the clothes aren't too adventurous.

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, papers, etc. and then run a dustcloth over the tables. Over the winter months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces, comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the right time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, and his real need to be at home and relax. Your goal. Try to make sure that your home is a place of peace and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone throught that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or a warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is master of the house and as such, will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness.

You have no right to question him. A good wife knows her place.

My favorite part about that list is that it's composed almost entirely of crap no husband will EVER care about, much less notice. Dust? Change the kids' clothes? Who the smeg cares? Unless the dusting involves a french maid outfit, I sure don't.

I just have one question.

Why don't women just say exactly what they want?

"I want you to make me happy". WTF am I supposed to do with that!

Or the typical "you should know what to do"
