Dating Advice for Women: Stop Working So Hard

Remember Jerry Hall, the model who married Mick Jagger? Jerry was
famous for making this statement:

"My mother said it was simple to keep a man. You must be a maid in the
living room, a cook in the kitchen, and a whore in the bedroom."

If keeping a man meant all that work, I'd have stayed single.

In addition to that pearl of wisdom, Ms. Hall offered this one: "Even
if you have only two seconds, drop everything and give him (oral sex).
That way he won't really want sex with anyone else."

Poor Jerry. Too bad her mother didn't tell her that if a man tends to
want sex with "anyone else," he's not great husband material.

Sadly, despite all her hard work, Mick Jagger continued to have sex
with other people and fathered a child with another model during his
marriage to Hall. They are now divorced. So much for keeping a man!

The point? No guy is worth running yourself ragged for. Instead of
appreciating your efforts, he will likely take you for granted and come to
resent you. Think about it: Do you fall for guys who are at your beck
and call all the time? They're great for helping you move, but you
probably wouldn't marry one.

All right. Let's say you decide to move in with a guy. Before you run
out to Bed Bath & Beyond, it's absolutely imperative that you talk to
your boyfriend about sharing household chores. It's not romantic, but
you'll save yourself much misery in the end. And whatever you do, don't
get off on the wrong foot by cooking dinner every night and doing his
laundry.

Resist any and all impulses to "wife and mother" the guy. Otherwise,
he'll take you for granted, or even worse, marry you and expect you to be
his servant for the rest of your life. And that's definitely not
romantic!

Allow a man to cook for you for a change. Let him do your laundry every
now and then. There's no reason to expect him to be your maid in the
living room, cook in the kitchen, or whore in the bedroom, but every
once in a while it wouldn't hurt.

Remember: You have a lot to offer (if you don't believe me, take
out a pen and paper and write down a list of the qualities that make
you special; emphasize things like your sense of
humor, leave off your ability to fold a fitted sheet).

Don't let a guy do you any favors. Keep this in mind: You're a great
girl, and he'd be lucky to have you.

HurryDate parties let you meet people face-to-face to see if there is chemistry!

Each party is held at fun, cool bars and is organized so you'll meet oodles of people on a string of real live mini-dates. When you check-in, your HurryDate hosts will give you a SCOREcard and ID number that HurryDaters will use to identify you, and you'll take a seat at one of many tables-for-two.


When it's time to begin, you'll talk to the person across from you until your host blows the whistle to indicate your date is over (no matter how cute they are!) That's your signal that it's time to move on to the next HurryDater for another whirlwind conversation. And on it goes! Get the picture?


After each date, you'll ever-so-discreetly circle a "yes" or "no" next to each person's ID number on your SCOREcard to indicate if you want to be in touch. At the end of the night, you'll take your SCOREcard home to enter who you liked into the handy-dandy, super-secret online system. HurryDate will then match you up with who is interested in you too! From there, it's up to you to get in touch through the secure email system to set up a real date!


Think you won't remember who was who after meeting all those people in one night? You thought right! Don't worry...everyone fills out a profile with a photo to help refresh your memory on those you matched with.


Sound crazy? It is! But that's why it's so much fun! RSVP for the next party in your city now and see what this HurryDate madness is all about. Click here to find a party in your city today!
