When it comes to one-night stands for women, I say go for it!  Go have a one-night stand.  They're amazing for your sexuality.  They'll make you feel free.  You'll have a blast, and I want you to do it with no guilt.  If you choose to have a one-night stand, just pick a guy and have fun.  Don't judge  yourself.  Don't allow your friends to judge you.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We don&#8217;t talk about one-night stands that often.  Let&#8217;s talk about them from the women&#8217;s side today.  </p>
<p>When it comes to one-night stands for women, I say go for it!  Go have a one-night stand. </p>
<p>They&#8217;re amazing for your sexuality.  They&#8217;ll make you feel free.  You&#8217;ll have a blast, and I want you to do it with no guilt.  </p>
<p>If you choose to have a one-night stand, just pick a guy and have fun.  Don&#8217;t judge  yourself.  Don&#8217;t allow your friends to judge you.  </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//couple-in-mood.jpg" title="one night stand" class="aligncenter" width="450" height="298" /></p>
<p>Sex is something about which we need to be free and open.  We need to stop judging ourselves, and start experiencing ourselves.  </p>
<p>To the men, if you have a one-night stand with a woman &#8212; if she allows you to have a one-night stand with her &#8212; don&#8217;t judge her.  Just thank her for sharing an amazing night with you. </p>
<p>Give her the option of whether or not to do it again with you.  If she chooses you to have a one-night stand, just say &#8220;That was a great night.  I don&#8217;t know if you want to move forward and do this again, but I&#8217;d like to.&#8221;  If she declines, thank her for a great night and make her feel wonderful.  </p>
<p>So, if you have a one-night stand with somebody, let the other person feel great about it.  They chose you for that one-night stand because they thought you weren&#8217;t going to be an asshole at the end of it. </p>
<p>The next time you have a one-night stand, thank the person for a wonderful evening.  You never know.  You might get another one-night stand with that person a few days later. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is like call waiting.  Call waiting is so annoying. </p>
<p>I seems like it has gotten even more annoying.  I think it used to be just two beeps, and that was it.  Now it seems to go on beeping forever.  Well at least if you have an iPhone or a BlackBerry you can hit &#8216;ignore&#8217; and not hear the beeping go off.  </p>
<p>Life, though, is a lot like call waiting.  There is always an option.  </p>
<p>Here you are starting to talk to some woman (or man) in a store or at a bar, and  there is one person after another coming in and out of left field interrupting.  Those people and their interruptions are what I call &#8220;human call waiting.&#8221;  We&#8217;ll shorten that to &#8220;HCW&#8221; for the rest of the blog. </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//brasil-330x220-lac-young-people-talking1.jpg" title="interrupting" class="aligncenter" width="330" height="220" /></p>
<p>Those people and their interruption are HCW because the person you&#8217;re talking to will always feel the need to talk to the HCW whenever they interrupt.  The HCW brings their energy in the middle of a great conversation you were having.  </p>
<p>So what do you do when a HCW comes over when you are having a conversation?  Well it depends whether you are the person that the HCW is coming over to see. </p>
<p>If you are the person that the HCW is coming to see, then you need to tell the HCW &#8220;Listen, I&#8217;ll talk to you in a few minutes.  I&#8217;m just in the middle of this great conversation with Mary right now.  I really want to talk to you, but I want to finish my conversation with Mary first and give her my undivided attention.&#8221; </p>
<p>You need to ignore when other people come crashing into your conversation.  You need to do it the way I&#8217;ve described, because that shows respect to the person with whom you were having the original conversation.  </p>
<p>Think about it.  Here is someone who is enjoying a conversation with you and is interested in you (or becoming interested in you).  You don&#8217;t want to get distracted by HCW.   HCW is a distraction you need to ignore. </p>
<p>It is no different than if you are on the phone having a great conversation with someone.  HCW is a distraction you need to ignore.  Ignore it and continue to give that person on the phone your undivided attention.  </p>
<p>It shows interest.  It shows attraction.  It also shows manners. </p>
<p>You have manners.  It&#8217;s really important to always give someone your undivided attention.  </p>
<p>Life is full of all kinds of HCW.  There is always some kind of HCW out there trying to distract you.  If you allow HCW to distract you, you are going to miss a lot of great moments in life. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;re dating someone new and they ask you this: &#8220;So tell me, how many relationships have you had?&#8221; At that point, you&#8217;re thinking &#8220;Here it comes&#8230;&#8221; It is almost like the ominous background music from a movie.</p>
<p>You know once someone asks you that question, that they are inevitably going to next ask you what went wrong in those relationships and why you are no longer with those people. When you&#8217;re first dating, people love to try and get a bigger picture of you.</p>
<p>They want to form an opinion of you. They like you, but they&#8217;re not totally sure about you, so they want to get some more information. They was to get the facts, so they ask you about your past relationships.<br />
<img src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//couple-talking.jpg" alt="" title="couple-talking" width="600" height="397" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5812" /></p>
<p>One word of advice to everybody who has to answer that question. You can talk about your past relationships all you want, but you had better talk about them in a positive light.</p>
<p>Never say that someone cheated on you. Never play the role of the victim. Always say something like, &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a few long-term relationships. They&#8217;ve all been wonderful. I&#8217;ve learned things about myself, and I have to tell you that I really respect the people I&#8217;ve dated.&#8221;</p>
<p>When you take the high road like that, the detective on the other side of the dinner table isn&#8217;t going to pick up anything negative about you. If it looks like you haven&#8217;t yet processed your past relationships, they will think you aren&#8217;t ready for another relationship.</p>
<p>So the next time someone asks you to tell them about your past relationships, you had better be ready to be 100% positive when you answer the question. If you are, then that person will think that you are someone with whom they could potentially have a relationship. They won&#8217;t be worried that if they date you and later breakup, that you will go around trashing them to others.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm a firm believer that whoever asks someone out on a date, should pay for that date.  If you're a woman and you ask a guy out on a date, then you  pay for that date.  It's 2010.  Pay for the date.  You asked him out.  He didn't ask you out, so he doesn't need to pay.  Now I'm sure that there are women reading this right now thinking, "Wait a second.  Men are always supposed to pay for the first date."]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a firm believer that whoever asks someone out on a date, should pay for that date.  If you&#8217;re a woman and you ask a guy out on a date, then you  pay for that date.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s 2010.  Pay for the date.  You asked him out.  He didn&#8217;t ask you out, so he doesn&#8217;t need to pay.  </p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m sure that there are women reading this right now thinking, &#8220;Wait a second.  Men are always supposed to pay for the first date.&#8221;  Yes they are &#8212; if they do the asking. </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//firstdate_291_20090127-142044.jpg" title="first date" class="alignright" width="291" height="291" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a man and you ask a woman out &#8212; you tell her where to meet you or you tell her where you&#8217;re going &#8212; then you better for the date.  You better pay for the full date.  </p>
<p>That does not mean that you pay for dinner and have her leave the tip.  That does not mean that you buy the drinks and she pays for dinner. </p>
<p>When you ask someone out, then you had better be prepared to pay for that date.  If you can&#8217;t afford where you&#8217;re taking them, find another place.  </p>
<p>Always date within your budget.  That&#8217;s so important.  So many people try to impress someone with a date they cannot afford.  </p>
<p>Then when it comes down to the end of the date, the woman is getting her car from the valet and you leave her to pay for it.  This guys, is also part of what you should be paying for if you are paying for the date.  If you don&#8217;t, she will think that you&#8217;re cheap for not paying for the whole date.  </p>
<p>The bottom line is that when you ask someone out, you are responsible for paying for that date, including all the activities that go on that evening.  It&#8217;s that simple.  It really is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you&#8217;re dating, you spend a lot of time giving your phone number to people.  You write it down on a piece of paper or you hand out a business card. </p>
<p>Then, you wait.  You wait for the person to call.  </p>
<p>The, at some point, the phone rings.  You look at the number but you don&#8217;t recognize it.  </p>
<p>So what do so many of us do?  We don&#8217;t answer it.  </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//Unknown-Call-2.jpg" title="unknown caller" class="alignleft" width="335" height="374" /></p>
<p>We don&#8217;t answer calls from unknown numbers nowadays because we&#8217;re paranoid.  &#8220;Oh my God, an unknown phone number.  Unknown calls are bad.  How can I pick up an unknown call.  They&#8217;re scary.&#8221; </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s think about this.  You&#8217;ve been waiting for this unknown call for the last day and a half.  You&#8217;re attracted to this person.  You want this person to call you, in fact you can&#8217;t wait for this person to call you.  Then when they finally do call, you don&#8217;t pick it up because it is an unknown number. </p>
<p>What is going on here?  Are we all scared of bill collectors, or is there just an overall paranoia?  </p>
<p>Have you neglected to make your car payment the last couple months?  Is there something awful you&#8217;re anticipating hearing about on the phone?  Are you waiting for news from the lab on that blood work you just had? </p>
<p>I mean, what is it about these unknown numbers that strikes such fear into us?  What is it really?  </p>
<p>You know what&#8217;s really funny about these unknown number calls when it is the person from whom you were waiting to hear, is that they seem to never leave a message.  I love that.  They don&#8217;t leave a message, and just try calling two or three more times to see if they can get you in person.  </p>
<p>Then if they don&#8217;t get that person on the phone, they will think &#8220;Ah, this person must not want to hang out with me.&#8221;  What?!  It was you who didn&#8217;t leave a message!  You didn&#8217;t even give that person a chance to call you back. </p>
<p>So if you are the unknown caller in this scenario, you need to be sure to leave a message.  It&#8217;s crazy if you don&#8217;t.  Please leave messages so people can call you back when we don&#8217;t have your unknown number or know that your number belongs to you. </p>
<p>I love how some people will get a call from an unknown number, and then will call that number back and say &#8220;Who is this?  You just called me.&#8221;  </p>
<p>I also love when I accidentally dial the wrong number and I get that call.  I dialed the wrong number.  There was really nothing more sinister to it than that. </p>
<p>When I get that call informing me that I just called that wrong number, I want to say, &#8220;Yeah, I know I just called you.  It was a wrong number.  I decided not to call you back and tell you that so that I wouldn&#8217;t bother you twice, and I really didn&#8217;t want to waste any more time on a wrong number by leaving you a voicemail and explaining this.  You&#8217;re clearly paranoid, and I&#8217;m so sorry that me dialing the wrong number made you even more paranoid.&#8221;    </p>
<p>There are some lessons to be learned from all this.  Smart people when they meet break out the cell phones when it&#8217;s time to exchange numbers, and put names and numbers directly in each other&#8217;s phones.  That way when that call you&#8217;re waiting for does come in, you&#8217;ll know it because it will say their name. </p>
<p>Of course, there is always the option of just answering the phone when it rings regardless of whether you know who&#8217;s calling.  I remember the good old days when I used to answer the phone without ever knowing who was calling.  </p>
<p>There was no Caller ID.  There was no Call Waiting.  Every call was unknown.  It was so cool.  It was so much fun.  So really when it comes to knowing who&#8217;s calling me, I don&#8217;t want to know!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a question that gets asked a lot, but one I don't think we've ever covered in the blog.  Say you're on a date with a woman and she says, "Don't worry, we can spit the bill."  What do you do in that situation? I can tell you what I've done the majority of my life.  Unless I was broke and poor, and just plain couldn't afford it, I've responded to that by saying "No, I'll take care of it.  You can get me another time." ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is a question that gets asked a lot, but one I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ve ever covered in the blog.</p>
<p>Say you&#8217;re on a date with a woman and she says, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, we can spit the bill.&#8221; What do you do in that situation?</p>
<p>I can tell you what I&#8217;ve done the majority of my life. Unless I was broke and poor, and just plain couldn&#8217;t afford it, I&#8217;ve responded to that by saying &#8220;No, I&#8217;ll take care of it. You can get me another time.&#8221;</p>
<p>I hate to say this, but a lot of women at that moment are testing you. They really are.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="man woman dinner" src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//1253121075_top-10-date-ideas-for-under-30_5.jpg" alt="" width="441" height="375" /></p>
<p>A woman at that moment wants to see if you will &#8220;man up&#8221; and pay for the date. It doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s a cup of coffee, drinks or dinner. She wants to see if you will be a man and pay for the first date.</p>
<p>A lot woman will take you out on date three, four or five. They really will. They still want you to pay for the first date though.</p>
<p>So guess what happens to the guy who says &#8220;Okay&#8221; or &#8220;Great!&#8221; to the woman who says you can split the bill on the first date? She probably won&#8217;t ever return your phone call or go out with you again.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another note about this. Don&#8217;t take women out on dates you can&#8217;t afford. Pick dates that are within your budget.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t to take a woman out to a 5-star restaurant if you can only afford a 1-star restaurant. Don&#8217;t take a woman out for a bottle of wine when you can only afford a glass of wine.</p>
<p>Always pick up the bill on that first date, because women will test you with this. They don&#8217;t know you yet, and they will test you. You don&#8217;t want to fail her first test.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here I am, sitting next to a couple of iTards.  Do you know what iTards are?  </p>
<p>iTards are basically two people who sit across a table from each other and instead of conversing, they just pass an iPhone back and forth to each other.  &#8220;Look at my picture!&#8221;  &#8220;Wow, look at the new YouTube video that just got posted!&#8221;  &#8220;Wow, check this website out!&#8221;  </p>
<p>This made me realize that there is a whole new style of dating going on out there.  It&#8217;s called iTard Dating.  </p>
<p>In iTard Dating, you really don&#8217;t talk about emotions or life experiences.  You just pass an iPhone back and forth to each other.  </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//fecf62bd2860585e_cell_phone_couple.xlarge.jpg" title="COUPLE WITH CELL PHONES" class="alignleft" width="315" height="320" /></p>
<p>So whenever you run out of conversation, you just start passing the iPhone back and forth.  &#8220;Oh my God, I have nothing more to say on this date, but I&#8217;m an iTard so let me show you the new apps I just downloaded.&#8221; </p>
<p>If not that, maybe you show them some &#8220;texting of the future&#8221; thing on your iPhone.  You say, &#8220;Hey, look how I can text everyone I know at once.  Look here at my entire text conversation . . . or should we watch a movie together on the iPhone?&#8221;  </p>
<p>So clearly there is a whole new way of dating going on out there.  It&#8217;s called iTard Dating, and it&#8217;s for all of the iTard people out there.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s unbelievable how people are so attached to their iPhones.  It really is.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve become a generation not of intelligent people, but of iTards.  This is going to be perpetuated if all these iTards get together and have kids.  They are going to start having babies together, and have to wait until the baby is born to see if he or she is iTarded or not. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A client of mine was just asking me about how to handle something that happens all too often in a bar.  Now my client knows I am not a big fan of the bars, but lots of people do go to them.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s always good times when you go to the bar to have fun with your friends, and you run into who I call Mr. Testosterone . . . or, really, Joe Jerk.  I call these guys Joe Jerk because they are guys who have been jerking off way too long and have way too much pent up energy. </p>
<p>Joe Jerk is the guy who will walk over to you, and try to get the girl you&#8217;re talking with to walk away with him.  Here you are enjoying yourself at the bar talking to a girl.  Joe Jerk will walk directly over to you using all his testosterone and say something like, &#8220;Dude, why are you still on it?  She&#8217;s obviously not into you.  Take a hike, man, so I can talk to her.&#8221;  They go right for you.  </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//huge.38.193896.jpg" title="joe jerk in bar" class="aligncenter" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>I have something I want to tell all of you guys who do this kind of thing: It&#8217;s really ridiculous.  It&#8217;s bravado.  It&#8217;s that &#8216;macho man&#8217; stuff that women really don&#8217;t like.  </p>
<p>Even if you wanted to take a stab at doing something like this, this is totally the wrong way to do it.  You would walk up to that woman and whisper in her ear, &#8220;Obviously you&#8217;re not into this guy.  C&#8217;mon, let&#8217;s go.  Just pretend you know me.  We&#8217;ll walk away and you can buy me a drink for rescuing you from him.&#8221; </p>
<p>That&#8217;s what you do if you really wanted to go this route.  You don&#8217;t try to get into a fistfight with some strange guy, just because you are frustrated that he approached the girl you wanted to talk to first.  That doesn&#8217;t show any confidence.  </p>
<p>If you see a girl talking to some guy, and you truly believe that she isn&#8217;t interested in that guy in the least, then try what I said above and give her the opportunity to walk away.  If you do this, one of two things will happen.  </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re right, you will have given her the opportunity to get away from a guy in whom she is not interested.  Most likely, though, she&#8217;ll look at you and say &#8220;No thanks.  I&#8217;m with him.&#8221; </p>
<p>The truth is that guys who pull this kind of crap are the same guys who get into their car and peel out like they&#8217;re sixteen years old.  Even if a woman is not into that guy, you don&#8217;t look much better. </p>
<p>So if a guy does this to you in a bar when you&#8217;re talking to girl, you can look directly at him and say &#8220;You know what, let&#8217;s let the lady decide, because I personally think it is her choice.  If she chooses you and your overwhelming personality, then that&#8217;s fine with me. I&#8217;ll go and talk to someone else.&#8221;  Then you look directly at the girl, smile and say, &#8220;Your choice.&#8221;  </p>
