Advice for Women

There’s a new article over at CollegeNews about why men cheat. Actually, it’s about the excuses men give when asked why they cheat. Typical responses from men include “You’ve let yourself go,” and “I’m sick of your nagging.”

I’m not sure there’s anything that a woman can do to prevent her man from cheating. Look at Jennifer Aniston. Even she couldn’t stop her husband from cheating on her. So what hope is there for the regular gals?

I don’t believe that all men cheat. But I do believe that some men are not hardwired to stay monogamous. I also don’t believe that every cheater is doing it because of a deeper reason (like problems in the relationship). There are probably men who cheat even when nothing is wrong, even when they completely love their wives.

Research does show, however, that when men cheat, it’s usually not about the sex, and they feel like something is missing from their primary relationship. They may even cheat with a woman who’s significantly less attractive than their girlfriend or wife. Men who cheat seem to do so because they’re feeling under-loved or unappreciated. Check out Oprah’s article based on research done by marriage counselor M. Gary Neuman. According to him, men cheat because they feel insecure in their relationships.

Recently, I’ve been looking at some of the dating forums out there, and a question that keeps coming up is: Why hasn’t he called?

I’m here to give you the cold, hard truth. The reason why he hasn’t called is because he doesn’t want to talk to you.

I’m really sorry to be so harsh. But let’s face it: If you’re asking why he hasn’t called, chances are, you know the answer already.

I’m a big believer in the fact that all answers can be found within ourselves. The problem is, we don’t want to face the truth. This is natural; the truth is often painful.

If you’re standing by the phone right now, getting a friend to call you to make sure your phone is working, staring at the phone, willing the phone to ring, do yourself a favor and get out of the house right now. Go for a walk or a run. Go to the movies. No man is worth wasting your time over.

Recently, I had the pleasure of a short Twitter exchange with a famous band member. I advised women to stay away from him after he retweeted a silly post from Sarah Silverman.

Besides receiving my first “you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about” tweet from a girl who’s Twitter name is taken from the musician’s songs, I also received a congratulations on my “perceptiveness” from the band member.

Why did I advise women to stay away from him?

Ladies, you can do better than a guy who complains about not having a girlfriend, while he churns through as many as he can write songs about.
