If only it was this simple. In the battle of the sexes, the scales tip back and forth. Tipping the scales in favor of the feminine way is the phenomenon I affectionately call “The Circle of Death”. A group of girls with an unbreakable code of “I just want to dance with my girls tonight” form an impenetrable wall of estrogen like they were 2nd graders playing a game of Red Rover. Many men go in, all subsequently get thrown the fuck out.

Ladies, start the night out with too much wine, grab your place on the dance floor, and dance your heart out with utter disdain for every man within a 70 mile radius. Gentlemen, though it looks like a sure thing (lots of drunk girls dancing together, what could be easier?) I assure you, the circle is not meant for you and I.

Not that they aren’t aware of this because this is the time for them to show off all the moves they’ve been learning in stripper pole cardio. The circle is meant to teach men a lesson, and it’s one that we won’t learn anytime soon. Sure, there are times when you are able to get in a good 10-15 seconds of grinding on a girl’s ass before she even notices your half erection in the “no-fly zone” but when the testis-detector finally goes off, the road crew will be there quickly to make sure you move on and shove off.

Dating fundamentals:
   • Once a cheater, always a cheater
   • Eatin ain’t cheatin
   • Guys are sexually motivated
   • Advice to girls: assert yourself and you will get laid.
   • Warning sign: If a man says they’ll “try” not to do something, they’re probably doing it already. There is NO try in being faithful. For example, “I’ll try not to cheat on you.”

4 Types of girls in a married man’s life
   • Wifey – The wife. She’s everything a man wants, she looks good and is nice.
   • Baby girl – Girlfriend being groomed to be wifey, won’t become wifey unless the wifey screws up. Loves to party and is very fun.
  • Side piece or side hide – once a month, all side hides know each other
  • Jump off – Will hit on you when you’re with your wife, former side piece

Two Types of Guys:
   • Boring: like crunching peanut shells
   • Fun, crazy, entertaining

The player to keep an eye out for is the insidious lesser known version. He's the one that no one ever talks about. He's the guy who broke your best friend's heart last week when she found out he was married with a kid on the way. This is the guy you need to spend some time trying to find, because if he finds you unaware and unprepared you may find yourself licking your wounds for months to come.

Ultimately, this is the guy who is willing to take more than he is willing to give – and what he gives costs a lot less than what he's willing to take. This player may have some of the same attributes as the conventional player, but his game is different. His game is all about him and you're only there to make him feel better about himself.

So, what should you be looking for so you don't get snared by this player? When you start dating does he immediately start having trouble giving you space, do bouts of jealousy start appearing for no apparent reason, and do you feel from time to time that you need to file a missing persons report to find him? If the answer is yes, then be aware. As soon as you start falling for this guy, he's working on his exit strategy. Unfortunately for you he's not worried about whether or not you're going to get hurt.
