I want to be seen for my intentions, and I want this site to be seen for its intentions. The idea for this blog began as an idea for a book. There are lots of How To manuals written
for people who don't know what to do. We thought it would be fun if there was a How To manual written
by people who don't know what to do. Consider this a kind of mock How To Meet Girls by Guys Who Don't Know How To Meet Girls.
My good friend, Aaron, and I started tossing ideas around and it soon became apparent that this was an idea in which we could both find endless comic potential. It started as a joke, and it continues to be a joke.
The contents of this blog are not for serious consumption.
With this in mind it is important to remember that neither Aaron or I think we are casanovas. The fact is we don't know how to meet girls: we get nervous, have no idea how to make approaches, are insecure and neither of us can dance. We're just normal guys, and like normal guys we don't have a clue what we're doing when it comes to women. The contents of this blog are here to give other clueless guys something to smile about knowing that they are not alone or, if they are truly desperate, they can try and apply our loosely-named "advice". Every suggestion that appears on this site is entirely hypothetical. It may work, should all the stars align, but we are unlikely to find the courage to attempt it so it will remain a theory (though if anyone does attempt a practical implementation we would love to hear your story of success...or failure). Put simply: this blog is a celebration of the glorious ineptitude of the male gender.
Unlike Tucker Max and other blogs of a similar nature, this site is not intended to be chauvinistic, misogynistic or sexist IN ANY WAY! Any offence you experience is completely unintentional and most likely resulted from a simple misunderstanding. As moderator I will be monitoring content and posts so that nothing offensive is published. I had a fairly horrific experience with a previous blog and now I am much more cautious about what I put my name to. Also, although I will try to value everyone's opinion, I will not stand for needless, scatter-shot negativity whose sole intention is to be hurtful. If your criticisms are groundless and personal THEY WILL BE DELETED. This is an attempt to create a truly positive online community which is invited to share stories of success, failure (often funnier) and ideas they think might actually work to begin conversations with members of the opposite gender.
Keep in mind that these are not tips on how to get laid (we don't know that either). Rather they are ideas for how to start conversations with girls you are genuinely interested in, or might like if you got to know them. There are already a lot of douche-bags out there, we have no desire to create more. There will even be a section for things that definitely WILL NOT work, and a space to share tips that did work in the past.
If you are going to come to this site with an attitude of hostility and negativity then I pity you and turn you away. Find something better to do. If you're not one of us, congratulations. If you are, then welcome.
