We live in a world of social media, dating apps, online profiles where everyone is portraying themselves in 2D, trying to look cool. Portray yourself in three dimensions.

Any online dating profile is about making us more human, more three-dimensional.

You invest in someone based on how much they invest in you.

Women can be made to feel like that makes them seem 'too demanding,' but it's better than wasting time on someone who isn't planning any future with you.

The thing that actually makes a guy settle down is when a woman comes along who has a different set of standards than the other women he's met. Then she immediately becomes unique.

I love when people come up to me and tell me they are in a relationship because of me. But I equally love the breakup stories, the person who says, 'I left someone last week because of you.' I like to think I saved 10 years of their lives.

Working with guys allowed me to at least understand guys in a way that I could then say to women, 'Look, here's what I've learned about men.'

One of the people I most admired was Christopher Hitchens. He was extremely polarizing but extremely honest, to a fault sometimes, but I respected him for that, and I loved his debating style.

Women are conditioned to believe Prince Charming is going to come and sweep them off their feet.

It's instinct: Men love to feel like they take care of you. Knowing you feel protected makes his ego grow two sizes bigger.

Just because someone isn't allowing you to pay for the date, it doesn't mean you can't contribute on some level. For example, if someone took you for dinner and a movie, they may have paid for the dinner, they may have paid for the movie tickets, but then you buy the popcorn.

I think people don't want be alone. Ultimately, we want to feel connected. We want to feel like there is someone who actually sees us in the world. That's the big thing: to be seen. How many people actually feel seen?

Plenty of casual daters will throw you off with maddening phrases like 'I'm just enjoying having fun with you.' This doesn't make them a bad person, but it's your call now how to respond. Just don't assume 'having fun' or any such cliche means they're going to suddenly decide they want a relationship next week.

Speaking from personal experience, if someone asked me on a date, I would still want to pay.

There is literally no one on earth who isn't interested in relationship dynamics, or how to meet someone special. Or if they've already met someone special, how to make that relationship as good as it can be. It's a universal subject.

The key to asking someone out is to not really ask. In other words, don't feel your sentence needs to end with a question mark.

If you want to meet a better quality man, you're going to have to get used to taking more risks.

When you say yes to the invite of someone new, you're also saying yes to their network. And their network contains people you may be attracted to.

It's powerful for a guy to know your exes have regrets.

With any form of change, it's kind of like you're dislodging something. Once you've done it a little bit, you can open the floodgates.

If you label someone lazy or a liar, he'll feel like that for life. Worse, guys lose motivation to change when we feel like your perception of us is set in stone.

People en masse have lost the ability to go out there and meet people in real life.

Remember that the most confident people make others feel confident around them.

Commitment phobes will be scared of making plans for the next weekend, let alone six months from now!
