A.   17 December 2010: These techniques you are talking about are made to get a girl to your bed, not to build a relationship, I think. It's more short term. A tactic is by definition something that works short term for a precise goal - in this case to get her interest, I ... (read in full...)

Really need a male perspective...

Q.   I've recently got back together with an ex. We dated for a year, 7 years ago. (I was 25 and had ended it because I'd felt it was too intense - he was very much in love with me, proposed etc., and I wasn't ready, then.) He still feels the same w...

A.   17 December 2010: I think excess weight is a minus (ie most guys prefer thin girls) but once the relationship gets going, it becomes a minor detail. In other words, IMHO, it takes more then 15 pounds extra weight to kill a relationship. Besides if you guys want to m... (read in full...)
