More than 50% of the population is unattached, but many men and women (particularly the former) still struggle to meet people they...

Amber Brooks

Amber Brooks

On a dating site or dating app, a generic message is the kiss of death. You say "Hey, how are you?" and what I hear is "Please feel free to delete this message. I don't care enough to try." Impersonal greetings are just lazy, and many women have too many incoming likes and messages to respond to every "sup" casually thrown her way. If you're not going to put in any effort, why should she? Maybe saying hi at a party...

Doc Love

Doc Love

I once had a coaching student who was fearless in approaching women, which was good, but he wasn't so hot at not coming off like a creeper. He wasn't a creeper, though.

These moments were exciting, they made your heart beat fast, and they were HOT. These days, the word brings to mind more negative connotations than...

Fortunately, as an only child whose mother and father doted on me and instilled in me the values they held most dear, starting with...
