How a Single Man Can Tell if a Woman is a Slob without Seeing her Apartment

I think one of the best ways for a single guy to tell how clean a girl is and how well she takes care of her stuff on a NORMAL basis (And not just a "planned" visit) is to ask her to do the following. Have her take a picture of herself in her bathroom mirror, and don't tell her why. If it's covered with spots/streaks/etc. and it looks like they haven't cleaned it since Ronald Reagan was in office, then folks, we have a slob on our hands.

The Things Women Do To Get Attention

Have you ever walked by a woman who had her boobs pushed up so high you wanted to scream, "Put those things away--you're going to poke someone's eye out"? I mean, I'm a guy, so of course I like boobs. But when a woman tries to purposefully make herself look like some kind of medieval barmaid, then that's going a little overboard. I mean, I'm not about to strap on a slingshot to my crotch to lift things up and give me more of a pants bulge just so I can get more attention...sheesh. Some of the things women do amazes me.

Single Women on Dating Sites

This next statement sort of corresponds with what I talk about in some of my self-help books on dating.

It seems like most single women nowadays have delusional ideas about what a man is actually supposed to be, or they're SO independent there's no WAY a guy is going to stick around for all that head-butting, or they constantly show signs of immaturity or an inability to settle down, or they obviously have such low self esteem that they're willing to settle for guys they're just way too good for simply because how they treat them will reinforce how they actually feel about themselves---like crap.

I rarely see single women anymore who exist outside of these categories. What have we as a society done to instill such backward ideas into the minds of these young women?

Reality Check for Single Women

I have a message to all single women. I'm filthy rich, can crack a walnut with my biceps, am actually ridiculously good looking under my glasses, am hung like a water buffalo, I never get tired of waiting outside a dressing room and holding a woman's purse, am 6 foot and really broad-shouldered, love to dance, an hour to me is foreplay, and I am always buying people really expensive gifts and traveling around the world and always having numerous adventures.

Oh, wait. That's not me. You know who that is, ladies? A rich, gay, philanthropist porn star, that's who.

See, this is what women expect when they watch too many Disney cartoons as a child and too much porn as an adult. They get grand illusions in their heads that truly aren't realistic and in no way, shape or form represent the common, everyday straight guy.

It's so sad. :(

Ebooks now available in print!

Side note: (And shameless self plug..but hey, a guy has to eat, right?)

In addition to all of my Ebooks available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple, I am slowly but surely making my books available in print format as well via Createspace. So far these are the ones that are also available in print format for those who like the feel of actual books.

Goodreads - Need help from my readers!

I decided to explore Goodreads after having been a member for a long time but not really having much time to mess with many of its features. It's even more amazing than I thought, and it’s obviously a really good site and helps people who are looking for good books to find them.

As an independent author and publisher, I need all the help I can get! If any of you read any of my Ebooks or print versions of my books and liked them, one of the best ways to let others know about them is to get on Goodreads on their *lists* and click on vote.

If you wouldn’t mind helping me out, in a second I’ll tell you how to do it. Besides, Christmas was a little rough financially for me, and now I’m about to move which isn’t going to make things much better. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!

As a side note, again, my father and I would like to thank everyone for their continued support! Also, be sure to look out for future books by myself *and* by two additional authors that I will be publishing. The additional Ebooks will be coming from both my Dad as well as a young woman who is showing a lot of promise. Anyway, here’s the info if you want to help our cause. Thank you!

1. If you have a Goodreads account (Free), login in at

http://www.goodreads.com/

2. If you don’t, sign up.

3. Once you’re logged in click on the following link:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/user_v...

4. What you’ll see is a bunch of different *lists* that I included some of my books in. Whether you choose to just do one list or all, here’s how to vote.

A. Click on the list theme that’s underneath my book/books (Example for one of the lists: *Way Better than I thought they would be*)

B. Look in the upper right hand corner of the page. You should hopefully see some text that says “Vote on this List” or something similar. Click on that.

C. Above all of those books you should see some text that says “Add Books to this List.” Click on that.

D. Then you should have a way to type in/search for any book title you want to vote on for that list.

E. Search for one of my books! (Or one at a time if you plan to do more than one)

F. Click on Vote next to my book!
G. Aaaand...repeat if you plan to do more than one list.

I know, it sounds complicated, but it’s really not once you figure it out.

Overall, it’s a really good way for all of us starving authors to get some much needed help getting our hard work noticed. If things have a lot of votes, they’re more likely to be looked at. Strength in numbers, you know? :)
