10 Secrets Men Keep

A male dating blogger reveals what men really think about sex, dating, relationships, and you.

We think we are good in bed. Men are taught that confidence solves just about anything. You can be making a total mistake, but as long as you’re confident, it will turn out okay. This may explain why we are so clueless at what we are doing in bed, but we act like we know.

Getting too tipsy on a date is a turnoff. Some people turn into a completely different person when they are drunk. Let the other person learn about you while you’re sober, before you get wasted with them. If one drink takes the edge off, and wine adds romance it’s fine. Just don’t push it too far.

Heavy makeup is a turnoff. When a girl does her makeup well, the results can be magical. But the one thing that should never happen is excessive application: too much, too many colors, or if it’s just a botched attempt at a good makeup technique.

We put pressure on ourselves to get married. Women say they feel more pressure to settle down because they can’t have children as easily past a certain age. I don’t feel pressure in that sense, but I do fear that my appearance and my “game” will fade as I get older. It’s fun being one of the few guys in my group of friends who hasn’t yet found love, but at the same time I wonder what is wrong with me.

We want to bail the morning after a one-night stand. Do not linger in bed hungover. Do everything you can to get home and fester in your own bed. Give each other a hug, wish each other well, and don’t say anything about calling, and don’t believe him when he mutters that he will call you.
