Dear Miss Single, You always have guys writing in with questions on how to pick up a girl. What about us girls? Where’s our advice? What gives?

Feeling left out, are you? Well, don’t fear, ladies, I’m here for you. Unfortunately for you, though, the majority of the readers for my blog happen to be guys. Or at least the majority of the people who ever comment or send in questions to me have been guys.Guess the guys are just more vocal about how much they enjoy the soft-core porn aspect of my blog. I always thought that fellow women on the scene would utilize my skills best and I feel like I always give the ladies pointers in my postings. I’ll try to be more conscious of this in the future.

I think that you also bring up a great point. Ladies, hello? Where have you been? This is only the 2nd question that I’ve received from a woman! It’s not that I’ve been ignoring you or simply just writing for the dudes, (let’s face it, the dudes need a lot of help) but the fact remains that not many women write in for advice. So, you want some advice? Well, I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll pay more attention to giving the ladies more pointers if you ladies make more of a point to give me feedback. Seriously, what do you want to know?

I actually received one other question this week besides yours and it was from a guy, big surprise, right? Well, this guy just also happens to be my most recent ex. He had just reentered the dating scene and needed some sex advice. He’s a great guy and we agreed to be friends after the break up, but I still found it so strange that he would write to me asking for advice. Yes, I write a sex advice blog. Yes, I was the one who called it off. Yes, we agreed that we were going to be friends. But it really freaked me out when I had to encounter my ex actually dating and sleeping with someone else. I of course answered his question and laughed on the inside about his problem… and told the girlfriends about it and laughed some more (sorry Mr. Ex, but you knew I would).

Instead of jumping headfirst into the dating scene like Mr. Ex, I’m taking my time and being rather picky. During this time, I have discovered that the easy way to let guys down when they ask for your number is to simply say, “I’m sorry, but I’m just not dating right now.” This phrase works like magic – especially if the guy is very cool, but just not your type (which seems to be the case with most the guys who hit on me – they’re such nice guys, but many look like Hobbits and I’ve already gone through my Hobbit phase). A lot of the time, guys will save face and respond to me with, “Hey, cool! Me too! I was hoping we could be friends!” Ladies, keep these cool guys on your side and make the friendship work for you! Cool guys who are not your type usually have cool friends who are taller and actually your type!

There you go, ladies, your advice. Use it well and use it wisely… oh, and if Mr. Ex’s new love is reading this, here’s a little tidbit of advice just for you. Mr. Ex loves hairy women who don’t shower. Really! Go granola! Soap and razors are your enemies! He’ll absolutely LOVE you for it!
