Throwing Negs is so 2005

Dating tip 11: Boys, you all need to quit with the “throwing negs.”  That’s so 2005. Quit insulting girls. Stop trying to show how funny you are by mocking us.  Try it boys, try talking to a girl the way you’d talk to a hot female boss. Respectful.  Don’t fight  with me like I’m your…

Condom Use Shows Self-Respect

Dating tip 9 — For some reason, many South Bay men don’t feel the need to wear a condom.  Maybe it’s their Adonis-like DNA or their zip code that gives them this impervious notion to go at it Adam & Eve style (rawdog). While sex without a condom may be fun, it isn’t funny. Condom…

Smile at Everyone

Dating Tip 8: Smile at everyone. After a week of following last week’s advice, being a snob was really boring and lonely. Just go ahead and be nice, because there’s nothing uglier than a mean girl. A special note to mean girls: maybe you were fortunate enough to be born beautiful, but it only hurts…

Top 5 Dating Sites: Hooking Up for the Lazy

Does my hook-up have a degree? Dating Netiquette: What do you do when you see profiles of folks you recognize from the ‘hood?  I send a little message that says hi. But then again, I am socially inept. So maybe don’t do that. It makes boys uncomfortable. They get a big head and think you…

Be a Giver

Dating Tip 6: Be a giver. Don’t just think of what you can take from another person. Think about what you can give him/her. Fast forward to the future. “Is this someone I want on my resume?” Swap spit with people you respect. This means: No more mo-peds!  (moped: fun to ride, but you wouldn’t…

Integrity — The Sexiest Quality Ever

Dating Tip 5: Live with integrity. Let your words match your actions. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Integrity is the sexiest quality of all. Not only because it’s rare here in the South Bay, but also because it’s a sign of the ultimate aphrodisiac—confidence. Mmm.

Super Hot Chicks Can Be Hustlers

December Nightlife Tip: Be wary of super hot chicks (hustlers) who seem too good to be true. Recall that alleged Manhattan Beach female con-artist? Do not leave “new friends” alone in your bedroom. I’ve heard of chicks trying to steal from my guy friends, look in their closets, etc. Keep an eye on your one-night…

Mind if I Buy You a Song?

Dating Tip #3: Guys, do not over-serve a girl. There’s no need for that. Who wants to take home someone who doesn’t really like him anyway? Buy her favorite song from the jukebox or make a dj request instead. You don’t have to like it, but you do have to tolerate it. This way, you…

Redflag for Douchebag

Dating Tip #2: Guys, do not overuse the word “actually.” It’s a redflag for douchebag. As in, “Actually you are kind of cute. Actually I don’t have a girlfriend.  Actually I do have a job. You are actually smarter than you look.”  Ugh. Same goes for the word “unfortunately.” This is like d-bag version 2.0.…
