Straight Up

So I'm out in 29 Palms near Joshua Tree. As I walk by the pool I see this smokin hot bird and I wonder to myslef "What the fuck is she doing out here in the middle of nowhere." I notice she's standing near this older guy who I assume is her father. As they walk closer I realize it's Eric Burdon. I guess he lives out here in Yucca Valley. One of the better sightings so far in California. Plus the fact that he was with a woman 30 years younger was pretty cool.

Is it ok for a girl to ask a guy out and if so how do you go about it? I met
this guy the other night and he hasn't called yet and I want to call him,
but I've been out of the dating scene for quite awhile now.

Your decision is going to depend on what type of male you are talking about.
So far I have uncovered four distinct breed of males. All of which have
different needs. Please see chart below:

39% of men are Mr. Traditionals: Most primal of the subspecies he more than
likely approached you. He is confident, determined, helpful and at times
very talkative. He is the man. This is not the type of guy you should call.
He wants to call you. He also wants to make the first move. So, let him. If
you call him, it will set him out of his boundaries and he will become
intimidated. In turn he will seek a woman who will submit to his desires.
Good example is Robert Redford.

37% of men are Mr. Dudes: Also highly primal except this guy is more
concerned about food, shelter and sex versus a pretty woman. This guy may
have approached you if you were wearing tight pants, a low cut shirt or were
pole dancing on the bar drunk. You can call this guy and if he is available
he will hang out. You can also let loose around this guy and be yourself
because he doesn't really care. This guy is good for fun, so don't plan on
any type of commitment from him. A good example is George Clooney.

18% of men are Mr. Shys: He is very confusing because he pretends like he
doesn't like the girls he really likes while he freely talks to the women
who he would never date. This guy does not approach women. This guy does not
call women either. This is generally the man most women like because if he
likes you, he is golden. Unfortunately, this type of guy doesn't come around
very often, so call him NOW. Kiss him too; give him a big juicy blow job.
Jake Gyllenhaal is a good example of this guy.

6% of men are Mr. Mixes: He is the rarest breed. This guy is a combination
of all three breeds and changes by the day. He is unpredictable which is
good for women who get bored easily, however this guy tends to have many
women after him. This guy may have approached you, but that doesn't mean he
is going to talk to you the next day. He also might appear attached to one
woman, only to like another a week later. He is good for women who are into
psychology. If you would like to have a good intellectual conversation, give
him a call, but don't plan on anything more. Biggie Smalls is a good example of
this guy.

I hope that helps. It really should. If you have more subspecies to add,
feel free. I am still in the anthropological beginnings of my male
discoveries.

Funny enough Lindsey and I both came up with lists this week on our own and about men. It seems like women are always trying to figure out why men act a certain way. I say give up now ladies. There is no hope.

Also I didn't realize that I am included in 6% of the men out there. I must be quite unique. Some would say rare. I think Lindsey has a pretty good thing going here and it'd be hard to argue with a list where I'm included with Robert Redford, George Clooney, and Jake Gyllenhall.

However I think that you'd be wasting your time by trying to figure out what type a guy someone is before you call him. How would you ever know unless you spent some time with him?

If a man likes you he will definitively be available when you call. Especially if you have yet to sleep with him. The place where a lot of women go wrong is they take things way to serious way to fast. I have never once had a guy ask me if I was "paying attention" to them, but some women freak out if you don't look them directly in the eye during a conversation. This kind of shit freaks guys out and so we tend to stay away from these "needy" women.

It's all in your approach. Feel free to call the guy whenever you want, but suggest something casual like getting together for a drink after work. That gives us a chance to get out of the date after a few beers and never call you again. Men like to feel comfortable that we can avoid you in the future. If you give us enough slack we might even stick around.

Topic of The Week: Have you ever waited a specific time to call someone you actually liked?
