Why are girls so stupid?

So, any girl reading the title of this probably feels slightly offended right now, but read on and you will soon come to realise that this is in fact true (especially if you’re single). To be fair, it’s not really our fault as God has created the male species such that we will perhaps never fully understand them (and with that thought, I believe the feelings are mutual). In any case, part of life is to meet the right person, get married and start a family (you know the drill) but most of all don’t forget to have fun in the process, where dating usually plays its role.

Does it ever feel like it’s actually not fun, hard work or stressful? Yes, we have all been there. Dating can sometimes feel like a chore especially when you meet one loser after another. To be honest, the loser in fact is you. You’re making the wrong choices and falling for the traps you should be reading early on.

First Date

The perfect first date is hard to come by, especially when you have high expectations! Let’s face it, a first date can be pretty awkward, especially if you have never spoken before or worse yet, are doing it blind! That moment when you first see them, if my heart doesn't skip a beat or if I can’t feel my blood pressure rise, I just know he isn't ‘the one’. So what else really makes or breaks a first date? Here are 10 key factors I look out for on a first date:

She’s Just Not That Into You!

Do you often find yourself left with no reply to your messages, no answer to your calls and feel slightly rejected? Well yes you should! Do you know why? She’s just not that into you!

Why is this so? Well from experience, you could come across as one of the following:

1) You’re boring

You talk about the obvious things in life that is just small talk and not necessarily helping to show you have a personality I can click with.

2) You’re desperate and eager

If you message your life story in a single message, or wave or message repeatedly with no response from me the first, second or thirty-third time, then don’t you think you’re a little weird?

3) You’re not attractive (in my eyes)

It’s never nice to tell someone they are ugly but if there is no attraction in the slightest, then it may be a reason for my silence.

Top Tips for your Dating Profile

In the spirit of the January sales, your dating profile is basically the shop window where you showcase yourself as ‘datable’. However most of you, let me emphasise the most being, nine out of ten of you are definitely the equivalent to the 99p store or cheap Sunday market stall with ‘Dagenham Dave’ type of goods on show! Do you get the picture? So what can you do to make yourself the top dog, the Louis Vuitton, highly desired singleton that girls just cannot wait to get their hands on?

Well boys, today is your lucky day. I am giving away one of my biggest secrets by telling you how a dating profile catches my eye.

To Join Or Not To Join

In today’s digital age where living without the internet is possibly a life not worth living, opening the door to online dating is really an emergence in a change in human behaviour to embrace social and digital technology, to meet new people. That sounded super smart (*brushes shoulders*).

The concept of joining a dating website can seem a little daunting, desperate and demeaning. Personally, I find it fun and amusing at times. Don’t get me wrong, like any girl I hope to meet my prince but in the process meet a few friendly / weird frogs too. I could write another blog post on the weird, outrageous and somewhat inhumane creatures I have met or been messaged by, so shall leave that for another day.

When I first joined a dating website it resulted in the following: 630 interests in first 3 weeks and over 4,000 profile views! Let me add to the stats – 300 interests were in 48hours! Yes – I am boasting, but even Cheryl Cole or Kim Kardashian wouldn’t get that! I did feel like a celebrity checking through my fan mail at times, but it was a tough job and someone had to do it!

Joking aside, here is my theory to help you decide if online dating is right for you.
