This entry is for MEN, because I was asked by several different women requesting it. There’s something you men often say to women on dates or in a bar, etc. Especially attractive women. I think you may think it’s some kind of compliment, but I’m going to clear this up once and for all so you can prevent a dating disaster and stop annoying women. The question you ask?

“Why are you still single?” or, “How are you possibly single?” or “How do you not have a man?” or another another variant, “You’re way too good looking to be single!”

What IS that, we ask you?! That is far and wide the WORST statement you can make or ask a woman! Yet you guys ask it all the time. Why would you ask a woman this? This is an insult all-around. To us, you’re basically asking us to first of all justify why we want to be single. But we don’t need to have a reason. When women simply choose to remain single for a while and perhaps focus on other important things like career, school, or personal growth. Did that every occur to you, that some women WANT to be single for a while? That are whole lives don’t revolve around men?  That maybe, like you, we enjoy the single life sometimes too?? It’s also totally ignorant because you’re implying that all women feel like they have to be in a committed relationship and can’t be alone. Again, very false. Third, you’re implying that something must be “wrong” with her if she’s ‘still single,’ and immediately putting her on the defense – obviously never a good way to begin a date. Lastly, it causes her to think, “You’re right, I AM too good looking to be single… What am I doing sitting across on a date with HIM?? I must need to raise my standards!”

And there you have the demise of what could have otherwise been a perfectly good date.

So now that you know this, please extradite these phrases and all related ones from your vocabulary permanently. And spread the word.

Check out these Other Fast Ways Men can Kill a Date!

(Straight from the mouths of women)

1. Asking how old she is
2. Asking her if she can pick YOU up for the date (even if its on her way and it’s way out of your way!)
3. Talking about price of things, how something is a “great deal,” or “cheap,” or “only __ bucks!”
4. Accepting her money if she offers to pay (Never accept her money on the first 3 dates!)
5. Asking her where she wants to go or What she wants to do for the date (Have a PLAN already, or have OPTIONS read!)
6. Having the date around dinner hours (5-9) but then not offering to order any food or appetizers, or saying that you “already ate.”
7. Not asking her if she wants a drink right away (you should requests drinks pronto or go up to the bar yourself and get them if the waiter’s taking a while! Believe me, she wants one, but doesn’t want to come across like a lush or assertive so she wants you to take care of them!)
8. Taking her to a place that’s really bright, light, with lots of families and children, and/or seats that are far away from eachother. (To maximize the her attraction toward you, set up the date so it’s conducive to creating attraction. Dim lighting, close seats and small tables, candles on tables, adults and couples around, and red or dark wood decor!)
9. Picking her up in a messy and/or dirty car
10. Showing up Under-dressed or in a hoodie or T-shirt. Always opt for a collared button-down; you cannot go wrong!
