It was a late night at a new grimy club in the too-cool-for-school section of DC. I was chatting up an OK-looking chick made cuter by her sexy accent, youth, perfectly round ass, and the strong possibility of pulling a same night lay. But not a girl I’d consider long-term material. An hour later I made … Read more

I don’t lower the boom or pull the band-aid off quickly. In potentially high drama situations, I simply don’t trust a lot of the girls I dump to not come at me with a carved wooden swordfish. (It’s happened.) Nor do I break up like a beta through text or email. Nope, I just let it fade. Taking … Read more

It has been three years since I last played a video game for any length of time. Yes, I include Solitaire in this. I have never played or even seen World of Warcraft. I built my home computer from the ground up to prove to myself I could do it, but when it is time to upgrade … Read more

I had the following phone conversation with a girl I was asking out for a third date: Me: How does Tuesday sound? Her: Oh no, Thursday is better. Tuesday is no good, that’s girls’ night! Me: Is this anything like a lesbian orgy? Her: Ha, no, we get together and do arts and crafts every … Read more

I once had to get rid of a girl for a shallow reason. It’s a shame, too. I didn’t want to… she was cute, considerably younger, sweet… but some things are non-negotiable deal killers. I was finger banging her during foreplay and, because I like the full experience, I brought my fingers up to my … Read more

The weekend morning after a questionable hook-up I often scramble to find a plausible excuse that will gently cajole the girl out the door without hurting her feelings. “I’d love to hang with you today but I’ve got to take my car into the shop. Big job… it’ll probably take a few hours.” [my Japanese car has … Read more

Many years ago, a girl I had been dating once offered to marry me, and I once offered to marry a girl I had been dating… within the same relationship. This is possible because the two events happened a year apart. She was quite a looker; tall, slender, exotically sculpted face… and an accent that directly aroused me via … Read more

Common American Man, this is how your life will unfold. You will start with dreams, big dreams. You will believe you are ordained for exceptionalism. You will reluctantly abandon your dreams as the years pass and reality inexorably descends upon you like a choking shroud of grit. That reality looks like this – You will … Read more

I broke my previous record for number of consecutive days bumping into a different ex each time. I’m now at four straight days, although in the interest of accuracy one of those girls was a brief fling, making her ex status questionable. Unfortunately, this city is not big enough to shelter me anonymously from failed … Read more

I was standing around with Zeets at one of my favorite clubs when I was approached by a girl who immediately chatted me up. I thought, here was an opportunity that doesn’t fall in my lap every day. Unfortunately, the girl who opened me was fat and pig-faced. And slightly inebriated. Considering her beastliness, I was intrigued in a sort of scientifically … Read more
