Douchebag Math, or Player Population Control

Posted by Susan Walsh on Dec 8, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

Baaaahhh, I’ve just spent two days learning how to make a video! I’ve been wanting to do a video post for a while, so here’s my first attempt, made with my iPhone. I’m afraid it’s crudely done, but I think you’ll get the point. I really have only one burning question for you: Do I [...]

How to Let Your Guard Down and Love Again

Posted by Susan Walsh on Oct 5, 2009 in Ask Susan, Personal Development, Relationship Strategies

Dear Susan,
I’m a 21 year-old college student, so I’m completely immersed in the hookup culture. Like many girls I know, I’ve been hurt by a number of jerks and players that I dated. A while back, I decided to stick to nice guys, but it’s very difficult to trust anyone. I can’t stand the idea [...]

Do Pretty Girls Have it Harder?

Posted by Susan Walsh on Sep 11, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Jimmy Soul, 1970

Do beautiful women have a harder time finding real love? I bet Jennifer Aniston thinks so. The woman in this photo writes the [...]

What Women Really Think About Penis Size

Posted by Susan Walsh on Jul 17, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

We really need to find a way to get guys to stop worrying about penis size. I’ve gathered a critical mass of anecdotal evidence that tells me the problem is getting worse. Of course, guys worrying about the size of their junk is nothing new. Studies have always shown that many men are dissatisfied with [...]

Thinking Outside the Friend Box

Posted by Susan Walsh on Jul 9, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Personal Development, Relationship Strategies

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

Wayne Gretzky

As far as I can tell, there are three different camps of guys that girls love to gossip about:
1. Guys they have the hots for.
2. Guys that suck.
Note: “Guys they have the hots for” often progress to “guys that suck” over time.
3. Guys they [...]

Why Nice Guys Ignore the Girls They Like

Posted by Susan Walsh on Jun 11, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

I found this bit of humor at Buzzfeed, but I suspect  know that many guys would call it 100% accurate. We call them jerks and douchebags, but we go for them anyway, don’t we? If we didn’t they’d be forced to stop acting so nasty to get laid. Do we force nice guys into last [...]

Bros and Hos: Relationship Foes?

Posted by Susan Walsh on Feb 4, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Relationship Strategies, Tidbits, What Guys Want

When we want something, we employ strategy to help us get it (hopefully). It might not be a sound, well thought-out strategy, but we choose one path or another. Obviously, our chances for success are greatest if we have considered all the angles. One of the most important factors to consider in any strategy is [...]

A Man’s Take on Advice in Women’s Magazines

Posted by Susan Walsh on Jan 30, 2009 in Relationship Strategies, Tidbits, What Guys Want

The other day a guy left a comment expressing frustration at Sexual Attraction + Compatibility = Nothing?  His point was that he gets jerked around by girls all the time, especially when he is a nice guy. They lead him on, flirt and fuss, and then say they don’t want to date. It got me [...]

For True Love, Pick a Beta Male

Posted by Susan Walsh on Dec 4, 2008 in Girl Talk

Last week at Thanksgiving dinner, we had a variety of family members and friends over who had not previously met. The 20 year-old girls got talking about their favorite guy friends, referring to these boys using such affectionate nicknames as Precious Delight, Pure Sweetness and Totally Dorbs (for adorable). A 28 year-old guy overhearing this [...]
