Tall is More Attractive

It’s a theory I came across a while back. I had this experience when someone told me that she’ll get more positive reaction from men or guys will pay more attention if you’re tall. That’s a bit of a challenge if you’re petite or shorter than average, now, isn’t it? Well, that’s where heels, stilettos […]

Friends with Benefits Are Complicated

A recent study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, though, says mixing sex with friendship may concoct a more complicated brew than Seinfeld ever suspected.
Sex frequently makes friendship more difficult to manage and increases pressure for romantic involvement, the study found. In other words: One person usually wants something more and gets left with a […]

On Rainy Days and the Umbrella

It’s raining today and it got me thinking. Some people may see this weather as crappy since it can mean a bit of discomfort. Traffic may be bad, possible flood, hard to commute. But amidst all these bad things happening, it may do us good to look at the bright side. Perhaps it can be […]

Dating Advice from Babe Ruth

“Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.”
— Babe Ruth
And you thought I’m going bonkers, eh? LOL.
If there’s one popular quote from a tremendously popular sports personality, this has got to be it. When it came into mind, I immediately related it to dating, courtship, and the whole love-relationship thing.
Oftentimes, we do […]

Meeting People Online is Easier

When I talked to you guys about handling rejection, I sort of thinking about this sentiment I heard last night — that meeting people online is far easier than meeting people at a bar or a diner or a bookshop.
How much of this is true, I wonder?
I can only guess that a lot of individuals […]

WWYD: Handling Rejection

There are several facets on how a person experience rejection. I’m not simply talking about a guy asking a girl out then gets it. It can also mean a girlfriend asking to have sex with her partner but gets the cold shoulder. Or perhaps a bride that gets stood up by her groom at the […]

Guy’s POV: The Ladies Asking the Guys Out

I’m sure this is one topic that’s been talked about a hundred of times but I just wanted to share a bit on the conversation I found myself in over the weekend. I was hoping I could share the source’s name but I’m sworn to keep his identity a secret, simply due to privacy. I […]

How can You Tell if a Guy is Just Feeding You Lines?

To be honest, I, myself, am not certain of the answer. But let me tell you about my observations and theories. Er, a few of them, at least.
Experiment.
Often times, guys rely on formulas. It’s like since they know that it worked on a certain girl before, they’d use the same approach again. They even resort […]

Just How Much Should A Typical Date Cost?

I’ve been writing for Dating Dames for quite a bit now but I never really thought of asking this question. Silly, huh? But, now, I’m making it a point to open up this discussion.
Just how much does a typical date cost nowadays?
I’m not limiting to the dinner and movies kinda date. It can be any […]

Would you play the Jealousy Game?

I don’t want to generalise but it sure isn’t something that’s totally unheard of. If I remember it correctly, I was in my second year in Uni when I encountered the idea and, mind you, it was a guy who told me about the idea.
Okay, before I completely lose you on this, I’m talking about […]
