Women Say 80% of Men Are “Below Average”

Are women’s standards just too high? — A study by dating app OkCupid found that women find 80% of men unattractive or “below average.” I mean…sounds a little steep. As a woman myself, I can understand why women don’t want to just date anyone. But I can’t help but question women’s priorities if the standard for men…

Stop Taking Dating Advice from “Experienced Daters”

No, you don’t have to “kiss a few frogs.” — We’ve all heard of Romeo and Juliette. Keywords — and Juliette. (Shoutout to the new Broadway production.) Anyway, it was Romeo and Juliette — not Romeo and Justine, Jackie, Jennifer…etcetera. Do you suppose their love story would have been more romantic, impactful, and stood the test of time if Romeo…

A Dating Faux Pas — “I’m Not My Type’s Type”

Are you qualified for the relationship you want? — In some ways, dating is a lot like a job interview. We don’t like to think of it that way but there is some truth to it. You’re looking for a person who can fill a certain place in your life, as are they. In the early stages, you’re both…

Don’t Date if You Want a Boyfriend

Too many people get into relationships with this toxic mindset. — I recently came across a journal from when I was a freshman in high school. I’m grateful that I took most of my L’s in private — ranting about them in a journal instead of posting them on Twitter — but still, embarrassing. There was one entry, in particular, that…

My Top 5 Articles in 2022 — and What They Earned

A year in review. — When I started writing on Medium, it certainly wasn't for the money. In fact, I had been writing almost daily for four months before I even qualified for the Partner Program. Over the last year and a half, it’s been a journey to find a niche and write about things…

The Number One Thing Women Wish Men Understood

How unsafe it feels to be a woman in today’s world. — Men and women have misunderstood each other for centuries. It’s no surprise considering the two sexes are so different in the ways we think, process, reason, and experience the world. But the one thing that men often don’t understand is — how unsafe it feels to be a woman in…

The Right Time for a First Kiss?

Three questions to ask yourself. — Some women never kiss on a first date. Some women have kissed every guy they’ve ever gone out with. Many of us fall somewhere in between. It can be a play-by-ear type of situation. A lot of people will physically go as far as is comfortable for them at the…

Commitment or Cowardice? When to Leave the Relationship

Staying with the wrong person out of fear is not the same as genuine commitment. — I couldn’t leave him. It was an unhealthy, pseudo-committal “situationship” that went unchecked for way too long. I couldn’t leave. Part of me didn’t just know how to say goodbye. It never seemed like the right time or place. I was afraid of how he’d take it. …

The Least Attractive Type of Man

Women want a man that they respect. — Level with me here. Nice guys “finish last” not because they’re nice but because they’re straight-up doormats. There’s nothing wrong with being a nice guy. We should all treat each other with kindness and respect. But — big but — there is a notable difference between “kind” and being a…
