What Not To Do (If You Consider Yourself A Nice Guy)

Ok, i'm going to share this with the world and i hope that some actually listen. Now I'm not trying to bash anyone, but this MUST be brought to the surface. (that's why i'm not using names)

As a little experiment i've talked to a few of my friends and we've all found it funny that there is a classification of "the nice guy" when it comes to the dating world. This is by far the most ingenious plan when it comes to men trying to impress women (outside the corny 70's lines). Now don't get me wrong there really are nice guys in this world, but when a man broadcasts it he's not one of  them.  Sort of like the rule that if a man has to brag about what he has down there then it's probably going to be more fun to watch paint dry for the night.....

Anyways, back to the subject! I'm really excited about this one because i've run into it so many times. (If I Had a Nickle For Everytime.....) Now you can spot this type a mile away, they give you the needy (I'm Shy) looks , but won't approach you. You're thinking for a second aww how sweet, but in the mean time they're sizing you up. If they do approach you after stalking you for a short time, then it's ON! 

Now ladies beware of these lines.........

"You're the most beautiful woman i've ever seen"

OH and "Can I Holla At You For A Minute"

There are a lot more , but we can't reveal all of our secrets now can we. 

We all know the signs of "i would be so happy if i could take you out to dinner" but it's never too long before the BS kicks in. 

I'll share a story with you.....

I met this man online and at first i was a little hesitant, but he seemed to be ok, so i took a chance and started talking to him a little more and some what got to know him. We chatted back and forth for a while online and eventually started talking on the phone and texting. It was fun and sorry to say as a woman i started to feel flattered by all the compliments and joking around. I'll admit, i did look forward to the texts and calls after a short time, all the while forgetting the woman rule . 

This went on for a few weeks and i finally got the courage to go on a date (he stressed the fact that he was a good guy), flags were screaming, but i decided against it and set up a time. Needless to say i fell into "the nice guy" trap. It was the standard, dinner and a movie , which i must admit i did have a good time. But the story ends at the door.

I know you can hear the funeral music can't you! It was talking in the car laughing a little and then the kiss good night.......

That sealed it (or so he thought) kissing turned into heavy petting and when told to stop, well let's just say that was the end of it. He gave me the standard smile and i'll call you tomorrow.

I'm sure some ladies can relate.

So men of the world...that routine is getting old and more women are catching onto the certain little signs. My advice....just be honest and upfront with what it is that you want and if you have to move on so be it.

Just a little to think about.........

Dating On The Web... A Captain Bob Update

Dating On the Web… An Captain Bob Update

Hello There… Captain Bob (willrain) bringing all you readers another Captain Bob tip. I wanted to write a follow up to my first article on dating survival on the web. In my first article, I came up with three simple rules or questions to ask keep in mind when trying to sift through the many posts on any personals website.
• "Is this ad from a real person?"
• "Is he or she just looking for sex?"
• "Can I relate to the poster?"

Once you have filtered through the ads, hopefully you have found a few worthy enough of your response. When composing a reply to an ad the number one rule is to be original.
Being original and unique, gives you an advantage and allows you to stand out. One of my favorite ways to win attention in a reply is using poetry. If the ad is posted with a picture, you could write a short customized poem about her picture. This one I wrote for my current sweetheart in my first reply.

“For You”
She has those chocolate brown eyes
They send me dreaming into the skies
Her black wavy hair was caught in a breeze
Her lovely looks made me weak in the knees
Replying by lying to her would not be wise

If you suffer from the lack of poem creativity, feel free to borrow one of your favorites from a favorite author. Hell, Hallmarks cards have saved even me when I was facing major writer’s block. Make sure that you tell her that you borrowed it from a card though. Say, “I found this little thing and it reminded me of you perfectly.” Something like that. If you have a good reliable funny bone, use it. One thing every human like to do is laugh. Women tell me over and over again, that a sense of humor is one of the top things that they look for.

Don’t forget that the poem and or joke are just openers to your reply. You still have to tell give a description of who you are and what you are looking for. Essentially, you are writing an ad but you are only posting to one person. One big hint is not to lie in your reply. If you have to resort to lying in your reply, you probably won’t make it past the first date. Let him or her know who you are up front. Make sure that your response is longer than three lines unless you can be extremely concise.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind
• Longer than three lines
• Be 100% Honest
• Perfect grammar, no spelling errors or weird characters such as “æ”
• Include hobbies, jobs, interests
• Include a picture if you are responding to an ad with a picture*
*The poster took the risk to put their image out there, least you could do is send a real one back.

Once you have finished the body of your response, feel free to use a cute closing salutation. One of my favorites is “Cheers” because I would like to thank them for reading my response. It’s not a cover letter for a job application. Have some fun with it and you will stand out.

It’s worked for me a Captain Bob Guarantee.

Dating 101...or 102 0r 103..

Hi again..
I thought i would appeal to the male population in reguards to finding a possible mate. Now let's get away from the one night stands and so forth, i'm talking about really dating.

I've come acrossed a lot of men that want to be single and run around , but there are those few that want to find that girl of their dreams, so either way sit back and listen.

Women aren't as complicated as they seem (well most of them) we are very simple creatures when we're not hormonal. We get up, do our routines, feed the kids (if we have them) and check the mirror to see if our asses look fat in that outfit..

Now it may seem strange to you that a woman wants to help you understand women and that's ok, but someone has to right?

Subject...online dating (the nightmare)

Most women are very skeptical about finding love online, but in this day and age it's easier than dealing with drunk people at a bar or hoping that someone will approach you at a store. We spend a lot of time in the bathroom and our closets finding that perfect look only to be shot down when you give a little smile standing in line at the grocery store.
One thing i've experienced is being watched while walking around and having the man NEVER say a word. Is it that he's afraid of rejection? Or he has food on his shirt? Who knows, but the fact of the matter is he says nothing.

So when it comes to online dating we have the same reservations about men. You start chatting, think there's a connection and he moves on to the next best thing. Online dating has caused most women to have NO self esteem what so ever. You can't have a few extra pounds or you're rejected...you can't be a certain ethnicity or you're rejected....you can't have kids or you're rejected...either way, you're rejected!
And the ultimate...if you're not spread all over a bed half dressed then you're just not what he's looking for.

Do i know why this is? I wish i did, at least i could make some sense of it. There are more singles around then there are married couples, why is that?, well mostly because no one communicates, and thats something that needs to be addressed. When i go online to "meet someone" i look for key things:

1)does he like kids?
2)is he married?
3) is he looking for long term?
4)does he have a girlfriend?

Not all women are interested in a profile that states relationship status: "it's complicated"...only thing that means to a woman that's really looking for someone is that you're married or in a relationship and all you're looking to do is have fun on the side. I'm sure that there are some women out there are into that sort of thing, but NOT ALL!!!

This is a little something to get you started, but in the future, believe me there will be more......

Captain Bob's Dating Tips...a man's point of view

Hey there, it's Captain Bob with a little guide to surviving dating on the internet. The first installment of my little guide is the online world of Craigslist. Craigslist is a large classified networking website that provides free online advertisements. These advertisements range from ads about jobs to internships, housing and even personals.

Now that we've gotten the introduction to Craigslist out of the way, it's time to get down to finding a date. The many personals page of CL appeals to any sexual orientation out there. However, navigating it and finding someone worthy of your contact can be very treacherous. The first clues begins with the ads title. A lot of spam ads can be thrown out just on their title alone.

Some titles include:

On the women seeking men side; On the men seeking women side;


"BEST RACK EVER" "Generous man looking for a needy
":) HOT, FUN, WILD" ($$$) girl
"I have herpes" " End of world sex"
" Tired of going to prostitutes

If you decide to post an ad about yourself and you want to be successful, Captain Bob urges you to stay away from the types of titles you see above at all costs. The opposite sex will be reviewing your posts with questions like these in mind,

"is this ad from a real person?"
"is he or she just looking for sex?"
" can i relate to the poster?"

Believe it or not, the threads title usually answers these questions almost immediately.

Another tip on titles is the location part of the ad. Look for a specific town or zip code. Spam ads will usually use the general area of the Craigslist page. For example, if an ad uses Western Mass instead of specific towns such as Springfield or Chicopee then most likely it's a spam ad.

Granted, that shouldn't be a deal breaker, it's just something to keep in mind.
Once you have weeded through the titles, hopefully you have found a few worthy of investigation. This next one brings us to the meat of the ad, try avoiding all short and vague ads. Anything under three lines is a good rule to follow. How can you get to know someone in three lines or less? For the meat of the post, stick to rule number three, "can i relate to the poster?", it's mostly common sense. Don't reply to an ad that's looking for a Dominate or Submissive if you aren't into the BDSM scene.



1) The ad should be longer than three lines
2) Avoid ads with really bad grammer, spelling mistakes or weird characters
3) Avoid any ad with a link to another website, even Myspace (save the links for
personal contacts.
4) In the age of Photoshop, take photos at face value. Do they match up reasonably
with the ads posting age? Not to mention if you have seen the same photo to
another post advertising different things.

However, don't be afraid of taking chances. Say a woman posted that she is looking for a man who's just out of her age range....if you share the same interests as her, keep it in mind that age is just a number. If you feel that you fit what she's looking for send a response and plead your case.

You can trust Captain Bob, i'm speaking from experience.

To wrap it all up, Captain Bob recommends that you trust your gut, use common sense and Discretion when looking for love online.

Discover Proven Flirty Text Messages.

Texting has become a huge part of being able to create attraction with women. I have seen to many men fall short of sending the right messages.

When you can send the right flirty message you will...

Create attaction with less effort and risk
Discover what kind of comments women love to hear. Then you can apply those comments in real life, personal/dating sites and texting time and time again.
You will save a ton of time because you won't have to rack your brain trying to figure out the right words to say.
Have more women desiring to be with you because most men don't really know how to send flirty text message to women.
What I am about to show you is going to surprise you. Texting is a lot more then just a communication device, it's the new way of creating attaction.

When it comes to Love, if you're like most women,you've been deceived... and maybe more deeply than you've realized.

You've been misled.

Tricked.

Lied to, even.

Not necessarily by men (though of course that happens)-- but lied to about men.

Lied to, by well-meaning people, about how men think and feel... and about how to create and nurture true passion and true connection.

So that sense of connection you've waited for has stayed just out of reach. Or, worse, it's been there--and then fizzled out.

Now, despite what some people have told you, you know there's no Prince Charming, there's no savior on horseback coming to sweep you away to a castle. You know that, and you're okay with it.

But isn't there something better? Something better than you've had so far? Something better than what you see around you all the time--all the "happy" couples, the look of that woman who insists that everything's fine, but who you can sense is as bored and edgy and frustrated as a tigress in a cage?

Hasn't there always been the suggestion--faint, but inescapable--that if you are just good enough, and nice enough, and loving enough, and faithful enough, and, well, everything enough, that Mr. Right will come along? And that Mr. Right will act the right way? And that Mr. Right will stick around?

Sorry to say ladies, but you weren't told the truth. As some of you know it's very difficult to find a "nice guy" let alone Mr. Right. The days of Cinderella are only in the books and we have to be very careful of who we associate ourselves with.

How many of you have gone out for a dinner and a movie only to get bullied into a "passionate" kiss when all you wanted to do is say goodnight? Men don't realize or just don't care to think that not all women see a simple date as a way to leap into the sheets with someone you really don't know that well. Now i'm not saying all men are out to get what they want , but the ones that do end up wrecking things for the ones that are legitimately nice.

What i can't seem to understand is why it's so difficult to show respect to someone you supposedly "like". Not all encounters with the opposite sex are doorways to sex, sorry to be the one to tell you.

What do women want? We want to be treated with respect and understanding. We want the person to WANT to be there, not put on an act to satisfy their own needs.

Think about that....
