Gone are the days when in order to be a "catch" a man had to have a job, an education or a promising future. It's seems that these days all a man needs is a pulse! Or so they think. I have to wonder what makes a man think he can get a woman who is clearly out of his league. My what big egos they have!
Foot fetishes, OCD behavior and really bad teeth, these are just a few of my experiences with on-line dating (things they failed to mention in their bios). Not exactly my idea of a catch. Remember the expression "You never get a second chance to make a first impression"? With this in mind I have to wonder why men show up dressed the way they do when first meeting someone. Don't they care how they come across or do they feel because they have a pulse we're lucky to meet them? If you're not going to put in the effort, don't expect to get anything out of it. Men need to take stock of their closets. Just because something still fits doesn't mean it should be worn! Don't wear your gym clothes to meet someone new, these aren't date clothes. You're just screaming "Hey, this isn't important to me".
We all know not to talk about our exes on a first date. Why do guys continue to do this? We get it guys, your ex is a bitch. Take comfort in the knowledge that she is tormenting someone else. Do you think by telling me your ex-wife's ex-husband has a jail record it's going to be a turn-on? Do you think complaining about how much child support you have to pay will make us fall for you? If you don't want to pay child support, have the balls to get a vasectomy!
Lastly (for now anyway) why are guys so lax in their hygiene? When did they stop going to the dentist? They expect to stick their tongues into our mouths but have forgotten that they need to get their teeth cleaned twice a year! Grow up, don't be afraid of the dentist. Remember, rotting teeth equals rotten breath. I met a man whose teeth were so bad it was like talking to Elmer Fudd! I could barely understand what he was saying. Scary stuff. It's not like the guy couldn't afford it, he drove a late model BMW and kept telling me how successful he was. Frankly I don't care what kind of car you drive if your hygiene habits are bad.
So when your guy friend asks you why he can't find a nice woman to date maybe you should take an objective look at him. Let's stop giving out those "I don't understand why you're still single. You're such a catch" (Of course I have yet to meet a woman who says she knows a great guy she'd like me to meet!) Let's help out these poor slobs and be tactful but honest. Let's suggest they lose the white tennis shoes and faded, ill fitting jeans. Maybe they can use a good haircut or their nose hair needs clipping. Enough with the Hawaiian shirts, this is the mainland after all! We will all be helping each other out by helping our guy friends. It's a win-win!
