Cailean’s POV: Men’s Style (and her three wishes)
Three Wishes
Once upon a time there was a girl. She was blonde and fabulous and only slept on 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets (anything less makes me itchy). The girl was single and happy with wonderful friends, family and shoes. Her days were spent working with beautiful people and her nights were spent with great music, good wine and sometimes a dog named Chi. Being one of very few single girls in her group of friends, she found herself getting an awful lot of advice on how to find Mr. Right. Every day she was hearing about this single guy at that office and if she just did this instead of that she might be able to keep a man. The girl was getting sick and tired of hearing it! She knew quite a few single men who didn’t get this kind of attack for not being a part of a couple! So why is it that every time she turned around alone she was getting that look of pity? It’s quite obvious that double standards still exist between men and women in 2007 and to be completely honest, the girl quite enjoyed these standards. She loved having doors opened for her, flowers, candies and surprise gifts sent to her workplace, making the other women jealous, and she can’t quite remember the last time she noticed how much dinner for two costs at any of her favorite restaurants, but can’t there be a line drawn somewhere? If a single man is living his life alone, in an apartment with a dog, a la George Clooney, he was considered a mysterious bachelor. When a woman chose this lifestyle she was considered a spinster with a lack of ambition. The girl found this perplexing and decided to investigate further. She pulled on her favorite Juicy Couture t-shirt that read “Dude, where’s my couture?” across the chest and the newest addition to her denim collection, her Rich & Skinny sleek Godiva-Wash slim fit jeans. She kissed Chi on the head and secretly wished all men adored her in the way a dog could, and then she continued along. Halfway down her street she saw something shiny sticking out from behind a tree. It was a lamp almost completely covered in leaves. The girl was much too fabulous to pick through dirt so she asked the closest man to pick it out for her. “Excuse me?” she said. “I dropped my lamp, could you pick it out of that pile of leaves for me?” after staring at the girls chest for what seemed like a dog’s age, he bent over and picked up the lamp while keeping his eyes focused on the blonde. He handed over the lamp and mumbled something which sounded like “I’ve got your couture right here….”
The blonde girl thanked him kindly and ignored that last statement.
She held the lamp in her hand and she knew right then and there she had found something special. She quickly returned to her apartment, took off her shoes and sat in the middle of her floor with the lamp. Everyone knows how this story goes, so she began to rub the lamp. What happened next might shock you but it didn’t shock the blonde. She had always been a dreamer and knew it was only a matter of time before her dreams came true: A handsome Genie emerged from the lamp after a puff of blue and pink smoke granting the blonde girl 3 wishes. Her first wish was for her family and friends to be happy and healthy. Her second wish was for three closets full of Chanel. But before she could make her third and final wish, the genie stopped her. “Be careful what you wish for,” he said, “it will come true.” She told the genie to stop being so bossy. She had been waiting for this moment all her life! She knew exactly what her third and final wish would be!
No more socks with sandals.

Hahahaha… rightly said, you don’t need to be in a relationship. Anyways, guys remember that, chivalry is still alive and kicking, open doors, be a gentleman for gods sake, and sometimes you have to open your wallet a bit. But don’t get taken advantage of. You can date a great, attractive girl without having to rob Fort Knox. Remember more often than not, for every dime you spend on a woman unnecessarily she is going to use that savings to purchase a new coach product, shoes or a purse. Most women don’t need a sugar daddy, they have a job, and budget their expenses. Is money the only thing you have going for yourself? Way to be one dimensional. Standard rules apply, you ask them out to dinner, you pay. If they ask you, wait to see if they pick up the check, it will speak to their character. Never be rude or make things awkward. Don’t ever demand they pay. Don’t look at the check, don’t reach for it, just continue conversation as though the check didn’t arrive. I guess it doesn’t matter if they’re hot. Wrong!! Personally I would never take a girl on a date if I did not find them attractive. Further, if I was out with one who I didn’t like in that way they would know it and be paying for themselves, unless they were an old friend, etc there are exceptions. Sorry ladies, not to be sexist, actually I’m being the opposite of sexist, you want equal rights, equal pay, equal job placement, then you can pick up the tab sometimes too.
Some of my friends who are women go out with empty wallets, get into clubs free, get drunk free, go home solo. I laugh because its easy for them to do it. Ex-girl friends have left me alone to socialize gone to the bar talked to other men, socialized, had them buy her drinks for a while. Then she comes back to me, saves me money and she had a good time. I had a good time, etc… Don’t be too possessive of your woman but don’t be afraid to protect them when they need it. Let your jealousy slide, she chose you for a reason.
Funny story, I was at the Chicago Yacht Club for their pre Chicago Mackinac Regatta Party for a race that I was sailing in the next day. My girlfriend was attending the party with me. While there she was introduced to an Americas Cup sailor from Australia who was also racing in the race. He was not a bad looking guy and he is a professional athlete. This guy became obsessed, she proceeded to drink Grey Goose and tonic on this guys wallet for an hour or more. She managed to get his drink tickets from him(about $100 worth) and give them to me. I distributed drinks to my friends, myself, other people i met and we all won. And of course when the party was over the only thing missing was money from the Aussie’s wallet.
P.S. It is awesome getting free drinks from a man because he likes a woman your with, whether you are dating her or if she’s just a friend. It’s equally cool. Don’t get jealous, are you admitting that the other man is already better than you? That is what jealousy states. Your jealousy make other men more attractive to women.
P.P.S. Most women secretly love getting things for free from men that they have no interest in. Approximately 2.5 billion.

D,
asking girls out to dinner? taking them out to dinner? just want to make sure that you don’t ever do this in the initial dating process, it’s a cardinal sin.

Rightly said. However, I think asking a woman that you know, out for dinner and drinks is a completely acceptable form of dating. I mean I’m not going to ask a stranger out for dinner, that would be just awkward. The point is that you don’t have to spend a grand at the bar and drop your wad on a woman to make her like you. Its good to have money, you don’t have to throw it around. They don’t care.
