Why you should dump your girlfriend this December

As a Dating Coach and blogger I keep up with what other dating experts are saying. One of my favourites is a guy called Evan Marc Katz, who wrote two books: I Can't Believe I'm Buying This Book and Why You're Still Single. Anyway he makes a very good argument why December is in fact a good time to start new relationships because people are not in work mode. And so even though all he says is true I'm going to go with an opposing view from my favourite radio jock, Tom Leykis: DTB Read More →

Want a second date? Pay for the first – NOT!

The Professor of Poon, Tom Leykis, brought this article to my attention from a recent show. The author of the article starts out by saying how the deal was sealed when she went on a date and at the end of the dinner, her future husband, didn't hesitate to pay for the dinner. The author even calls herself a hypocrite because she is a feminist and she is still getting her way with her man. Isn't feminism supposed to be about equality? Without rehashing the whole story I would like to point how you can indeed get away Read More →

Leykis 101 – Never Date Single Mothers

People are usually pissed off by this one. I also have personal experience with dating single mothers and these days I avoid them completely. Suffice it to say I have been there, tried it, and found it does not work for me. Here's the Leykis 101 rule on why you should never date single mothers. Why? You already know their stance on abortion: they won't have one. Don't risk paying vaginamony or child support. Her kids will always be #1 in her life, and do you really want to Read More →

20 Dates for under R100

Tom Leykis, one of my favourite radio DJs, whom I listen to online, brought this story from Hitched Mag to my attention. Now it originally reads 20 Dates For Under $20 but since I live in South Africa I've adapted it to a realistic R100. Just by the way I highly recommend the movie 20 Dates for how NOT to go about dating women.

Leykis 101 – No Means No!

Now this is a Leykis rule which I think everybody can 100% agree with. It's important to keep in mind that this rule is especially important with the rise of violent crimes against women. Many men are not able to express themselves and have a warped sense of reality i.e. they want to believe in the fantasy that a women who says "no" is playing hard to get. In reality it's just not worth it... Here's the rule... Regardless of the situation, when a woman says NO, stop Read More →

Who is the Millionaire Next Door?

Chris Rock once explained the difference between being rich and being wealthy very succinctly. He said Shaquille O'Neil is rich but the guy who signs his cheque is wealthy. When you are rich you can loose all the money when you're a big spender, live beyond your means or try to keep up with the Jones, also known as conspicuous consumption. The education system creates a society of consumers Read More →

Leykis 101 – Spending Limits on Dates

This is first of a series of Leykis 101 rules I'm republishing with some comments to put it into context for guys in South Africa. Upon some reflection I decided that R200 is a fair equivalent to the US$40 limit on a date. As you'll know R200 is one of the options on a ATM in South Africa. As the argument goes spending more on a date is not going to make a woman like you more. So decide on a limit for yourself and stick to it.

My Next Car: Mercedes-Benz SLK

I've been dreaming about an SLK for many years now and the day I'll be able to purchase my own is coming closer and closer. Especially after watching a film, The Secret. I started using some visualisation techniques like pasting a photo on my wall, and also making it my Desktop background photo. I missed out on a test drive two weeks when I was stupid enough to forget my drivers license at home :-( Well I'm going to do that test drive within the next few weeks. What's amazing Read More →
