Dating Advice for Men- Attracting Tips, How to Talk to Girls

If you’ve been in a relationship for any length of time, chances are you’ve
been the recipient of the evil eye, the silent treatment or, worse, you’ve been
relegated to the couch – all forms of the dreaded doghouse.  While you’re bound to make the occasional relationship slipup (no one’s perfect, after all), it’s how you deal with those sticky situations that can mean the difference between sleeping with her and sleeping with the dog. No wonder canines are called man’s best friend. No matter what the misdeed, however, the key for you to stay out of the doghouse is to own up and move on. Having acknowledged your relationship blunder and apologized (if necessary), she has no right to punish you.  If that doesn’t work, a kiss should shut her up and help you stay out of the doghouse. That being said, there are specific recourses to follow depending on the situation, so the next time you fall off the wagon and wind up pissing her off, here’s a guide of how to stay out of the doghouse and on her good side.

sticky situation #1

You get caught checking out another woman

Sure, it’s human nature to notice a beautiful woman – heck, even your
girlfriend will gawk at a gorgeous gal – it’s how you look that gets her
bent out of shape. The key for you to stay out of the doghouse is to avoid looking at the target like a sex object; in other words: Keep your head screwed on straight and your mouth closed.  If you do get caught staring, instead of immediately jumping to the defensive (which will only get her riled up even more), admit it. There’s no need to grovel or beg forgiveness over such a mild misdemeanor (it’s not your fault you have testosterone surging through your veins) and it’s not like she doesn’t sneak peeks. Either acknowledge that you’re “busted” and laugh it off or admit to what caught your eye about her. Keep the observance as unsexual as possible and be sure to steer clear of crude associations like her “jugs” and “booty,” even if she is stacked like Dolly Parton.  Stay out of the doghouse: Don’t deny looking. Women are very observant and she’ll only take your fibbing as another strike against you.

sticky situation #2

You get drunk and make an ass of yourself

Whether you’re at a family event like a wedding or at a get-together at a bar, too many Jack and Cokes can turn a gentleman into a jester faster than it takes to do the chicken dance. If you do wind up spilling your drink all over your girl or making a scene on the dance floor (think ‘80s dance moves) or accidentally mooning the bride and groom, she’ll probably be pissed (as in angry, not intoxicated) and a little embarrassed.  Women tend to feel responsible for their boyfriend’s actions, but once you apologize to any necessary parties, there’s no reason for your girlfriend to walk around like
she’s branded with a scarlet letter. It was you who made the ass of yourself, so she shouldn’t leverage it into her own pity party. Stay out of the doghouse: Don’t go on a bender next weekend; take it easy on the bottle for the next while.

When I first heard the term MILF (mum I’d like to f*ck), I was as appalled as I was excited. Excited because motherhood was clearly getting a vital makeover and appalled because I felt the term was yet another way to reduce women to a sex object.   But when my Facebook followers began to dub me “Dr. MILF,” I looked around at my day (I have two kids and a
mortgage) filled with
runny noses, homework tantrums and the like, and decided that even this limited compliment
glamourised my life a bit.   After all, single mothers are a valuable
demographic to men looking for a life partner. But the problem with some men who date MILFs is they forget the most important thing: A good MILF is a mother first and foremost. This means you need to change your game. Here’s how.

1. Patience is the name of the game

The one thing a MILF is in short supply of is time. Between working and raising kids, her social calendar is small and a tad inked in. So be patient. Book ahead. And don’t expect her to be available three nights a week.

2. Become a Mr. Fix-It

We all know that every man loves to solve problems. And dad-less homes usually have a lot of tiny problems. You may not be a handyman (and if you
are, you’ll be a shoe-in), but I bet you can move some furniture around for her, download a new program for her computer or improve on her audio/visual system. Some MILFs can do these things themselves, but it’s so much fun to watch a man do it.

3. Understand if she is protective of her kids

Here’s a disturbing statistic: When children live in a home with a non-biologically-related adult male (mummy’s boyfriend), they are 11 times more likely to experience sexual, physical or emotional abuse. Here’s another one: A common way that pedophiles gain access to victims is to date their mother. A good, responsible mother will be aware of the dangers and may be overly vigilant about exposing you to them at the beginning.

Smart men know that if they are in the market for a grown-up woman who is mature, responsible and commitment-oriented, a single mother is a sure bet. And watching how she cares for and shapes her kids’ behaviour is a secret window into how she’ll treat you down the road. It’s a big responsibility to date a MILF. But the payback is a solid woman who can protect your back like a mother bear. Oh, and, yes, there’s that “F” part.
