Funny Dating Advice

I was blog-surfing again today as I did more research on various health topics. I came across a series of very funny dating advice written by Ashok, a young Indian gentleman with definite views of how things should be.

I'm pretty certain it's been written tongue-in-cheek but, especially if he really believes it, this is pretty funny stuff.

About Dating -Advice For Men

You could be doing everything right, and when you decide to compliment her by telling her she is not so bad looking, she explodes for some reason. Probably at that point in her script, she had things a little different. And for some reason, she expects you to read her mind to know just what pleases her. You could even be looking out for her best interest by skipping dessert, and even when you explain that you don’t want her getting any fatter, she explodes.

He ends this piece with the following advice:

Now, having said all that, I will concede that it might be possible that in some cases, the dating thing could just be a good strategy. But, I can’t think of any such case right now.

The following might be his only article that actually offers some good advice, though some are still pretty funny.

Getting A Girl – Ten Clues That She Is Interested In You
1: Eye contact is always number one. If a girl is making eye contact she is interested.
2: Smiling at you. This is often combined with eye contact but it shows more interest.
3: Touching her hair. If a girl is touching her hair she is interested.
4: Posture. If she sits up straighter while looking at you she is showing interest.
5: Head tilt. When girls tilt their heads to one side that shows interest.
6: Touch. If a girl touches your arm while talking to you she is interested.
7: Legs crossed with one leg pointed toward you. Definitely interested!
8: Licking her lips. This is a sure sign she is interested.
9: She sends you a drink. This is an invitation, take her up on it.
10: She moves closer to you. She is letting you know she wants you to get closer too.

He moves on to dating advice for women. Apparently this advice worked well for his mother's generation and what was good enough for her...

Hope you enjoyed that bit of insanity. Have a joyous Fourth of July celebration!

Blog Surfing

Writing Mother Nature Says has given me a new past-time: blog surfing. Just as far too many men channel surf through their hand-held remote control devices, I've taken up surfing through the network of links on other people's blogs.

I regularly read Funny About Money. Surfing through her links brought me to Financial Samurai's article, "How To Get Your Super Motivated Boyfriend to Marry You". It's a soul-baring, testosterone-laden explanation of how a young male achiever thinks about goals, ego, and women. Had I read this article when I was in my twenties, I'd have gone ballistic on what I'd have perceived as a self-centered rant on the many trials of a privileged male. My view from three decades of growing up is considerably more tolerant - I think the article is funny. The post made me so glad I'm no longer that young.

Next blog that caught my interest was from Little House in the Valley's post on "The Young and the Homeless". Since I'm on the edge of not being able to live indoors now and have found myself three days from homelessness in the past (ten years ago - interesting how bad fashions seem to recycle themselves), this post was pretty sobering.

Next interest-grabber is The Boxcar Kid's Blog. This chronicles the lives of an unemployed single mother and her children living in a tiny travel trailer in a child-unfriendly environment. Goodness, at least I'm in a small house with a yard. Her blog is one that I've subscribed to and want to keep up with.

Finally, Budgets Are Sexy has a new Million Dollar Club that I'm considering joining. Yeah, right, you might say considering how underemployed I currently am, but I AM going to become financially successful. Multiple income streams are part of the plan, along with starting a new company, Shelf Elves. More on that later.

For now, I need to work on my business plan to get it into better shape.

As my granddaughter says, "Bye-bye. Hugs and kisses!"
