Having been to various Social Occasions in my life, I can tell you that everywhere you go, you will find many similarities in the women you meet. Obviously, these women are different. They have different backgrounds, looks, likes, dislikes and so on. However, many women exhibit striking similarities as well. So, as any male chauvinist would do, I've categorized and labeled them. Here are the Top 5 Types of Women to stay away from.
1. "The Head Case"
We've all seen them, the girl that's just too cool for school. Unapproachable and egocentric. Impossible to negotiate with, and only around other people, to be stared upon. She doesn't have to be the most attractive girl at the bar, but 9 times out of 10, that is the case. Our Guy Code recommendation, is to steer clear of these types. Money and good looks are all this little numbers really interested in. It's not worth your time buying her drinks. She'll sure as hell let you, but really, you're just throwing your money away. Take our advice. Have a couple shots and move on down the line.
2. "The Book Worm"
You ever try and pick up a woman at a coffee shop? You know, reading glasses, scarf, possibly a beanie? You: 'Yeah! I've seen plenty of these types of women' Us: 'Good, now turn around, pick up your coffee and walk out.'. Most women aren't looking to get asked out, while sipping a frappuccino at their local Starbucks. Most would prefer to be left alone. We recommend you take this advice and do just that.
3. "The Mysterious Chick"
Ok, so we've all met this girl...The one who always seems like she's got something special about her. She's not the most attractive and she may have a hippie or punk rock vibe going. Whatever the case, she's hard to ignore. Chances are, if a girls got something "mysterious" about her, she's far too much work. Let this be a red flag to all of you. Go find yourself a less mysterious and more obvious choice.
4. "Mrs. Emotionally Scarred"
I didn't want to say "damaged", but that's really what this profile is describing. She's clingy, she's emotional, she's head over heels for you after a 3 minute conversation. Big time no-no. Steer clear of these girls. They don't need a boyfriend, they need a counselor. It's not your fault that her father abandoned her and her mother's an alcoholic. It's definitely NOT your job to help her through these issues. Once you make a commitment, you can say good bye to your free time. Texts, voice mails, emails, facebook "pokes", the whole sh-bang. "Stage 5 Clinger" for all you Wedding Crasher fans out there...Stage 5 Clinger...
5. "The Bitch"
These women are by far, the worst. Half the time, they aren't even the woman that you're interested in. Their that angry, jealous, slightly less attractive friend, of the woman you are hitting on. If at all possible, bring some pepper spray or a taser, and just eliminate their bitter ass from the equation. Now, if the girl you are talking to is, said bitch, just turn around and walk away. She's not worth your time. Women with an attitude problem are like Hookers, they suck.
Steer clear of these damsels of despair and you should be fine. Good Luck gents.

Valentines Day. Friend or Foe? It's Up to You!
Thanks to Hallmark and Chocolate makers, we men, have the most difficult holiday ahead of us. The dreaded Valentines Day. To women, its a day for flowers, candy and various gifts. For men, its a day that can make or break an entire relationship. That is a lot of pressure for a guy to be under. Sure, there are Birthdays, Anniversaries and Christmas, but these do not even touch on the guilt your significant other can make you feel, for messing up Valentines Day. So, I've compiled a list of 5 keys to not screwing up this Valentines Day.
1) Plan Ahead!
Procrastinating your preparations for this Holiday, is the fastest way to end up in the dog house. Have a plan up to two weeks ahead of time. You might be thinking, 'Guys, come on, two weeks? Seems like a bit much!' Trust me, not only will you be more prepared for the Holiday, but your little lady will appreciate all the time you spent planning. Perhaps, she will even show that appreciation...later in the evening, if you catch my drift.
2) Flowers and Chocolate...meh
Flowers and Chocolate are fine, but fine, is not what your lady is looking for. You may get away with giving her a bouquet and a heart shaped boxed of chocolate, but you do not want to just coast through this holiday. Make sure you make the experience unique.
3) Cash for Ass...Not always
For some reason, we think that if we throw enough money at her, she'll put out. News flash gents, your wife or girlfriend is not a stripper. And if she is, well, then she doesn't need you throwing money at her, she gets that for a living. Try to incorporate something genuine into gift giving. If you do purchase something for her, maybe, also write her a poem or make a scrap book. Ok, ok...I feel the glaring eyes... just hear me out. You are going to have to step out of your comfort zone to put a smile on her face. Trust me, women love when you've shown that you've thought ahead...Love It!
4) Be careful with Jewelery
Jewelry can get a man in trouble. If you are in a relationship for the long haul, make sure you pay close attention to this next piece of advice. Jewelry is like the epitome of gifts for most women. It's also a mans bread and butter. DON'T...I repeat, DON'T go buying her the most expensive piece of jewelry that you can afford. 1. She will know how much you paid for the jewlery (Googles a bitch and will tell her anything she wants to know) 2. You've now set the standard for next year. Women will never say anything outright, but if you skimp on the following years gifts...you can bet your left nut it's being noted. Do not fall into this trap. Work your way into a comfortable price range that you can gradually raise. Oh, and stay away from Wal-mart and stores like this for anything jewelry. ***Underspending is Faaaar worse, then Overspending***
5) Don't Skip It!
If you are in a relationship, you are obligated by your penis, to follow through with Valentines Day. Do not for one second, presume you are coasting through this day. If she says "don't worry about it" or "we can just hang out at home" she is lying to you. Don't fall for this. It's a test. I hope, you've already made plans. If you have not made plans, I recommend getting on your phone and trying to make something happen, last minute. I hope, you've read the first "no, no" in my list and you are not left on the couch for the night.
Bottom line, women love feeling appreciated and you need to look at this holiday, as another opportunity to show her just how amazing she is. Good Luck men, I wish you all the best.

Dating 101
After writing my previous post on Valentines Day, I figured it might be a good idea to write a follow-up on dating. Dating for most of us, is a complete mystery. You ask yourself all kinds of etiquette questions like, Do I pay? Should I bring her a gift? Should I open the door for her? What's a good place to take her on our first date? and so on... If you aren't asking yourself these questions, you need to be.
Chivalry isn't completely dead. Women find it refreshing in today's age of one-night stands and that awkward "talking" stage. For those of you oblivious to this, "talking stage" I'll elaborate more on that at a later date.
Here are some Tips to making sure your date runs smoothly.
1) Chilvary
--As before mentioned, Chivalry isn't dead. I encourage all of you to open doors, pay for meals and show the utmost respect when on a date. Dates are like a delicate flower. If you don't take care of them, they die on you and you're left alone and miserable.--
2) The Dad
--How do you impress a father? You don't...You just do your best not to screw up. We men are very protective creatures, it's in our nature. I don't have a little girl yet, but if I ever do, I can promise all of you she's not leaving the house until she's 30. The problem with dads...they've been there. They know what we're thinking, because they've thought the same thing. So,your best bet with fathers, is just to show respect and hope for the best.--
3) First Dates
--For the most part I'm generalizing in this post, but I need to express the importance of any first date. The first date is an opportunity to show her what your made of. No, I don't mean in bed...You need to show her that you know how to take care of a lady. Again, not in the bedroom. Take her some place quiet, but with a lot of people. A nice restaurant, or perhaps ice skating....something along those lines. I'm against going to the movies on first dates, because you really can't talk to the person at all. Save the movies for later in the relationship. And YES, you will be paying for everything on the first date. Just accept it. I'm all about equality, but it's been this way for years. You can work out financial aspects of your relationship when your married, but you ain't gonna make it past first base without some manners.--
4) Group Dates?
--Personally, I enjoy Group Dating. It provides a nice buffer for a new relationship, by taking a lot of the awkwardness away. Sure, there's probably going to be a few crickets throughout the night. When in doubt, turn to your buddy and start a conversation on sports. I say this, with a word of warning. Don't end up forgetting about your date. It's important to find a balance. Women need attention and if you want this to work out, I suggest you feed her attention by the gallon--
5) Gifts, Compliments, Good Night Kisses, Oh My?
--Forgive the Wizard of Oz Pun, but I think it captures the fear we exude on these topics perfectly. We're in a strange place when it comes to women. We have to get our bearings quickly and always be on our toes. Now, when it comes to gifts on a first date, I submit that less, is more. Perhaps, a small bouquet of flowers or a tiny stuffed animal. Don't come charging in with a full on arsenal of crap,that's only gonna freak her out. A cute little teddy bear can go a long way and a single rose, always sets you up for a win.
From the moment you see her, to the moment she leaves, she's got to feel like the most beautiful woman on Earth. Compliment her immediately after saying hi. A safe bet, is hair. Women, for the most part, spend a good deal of time on their hair and that's going to be compounded on a first date. Even if it looks like she hasn't done anything with it, go for it. Keep it simple and pretend like she's changed it. Try this: "Your hair looks great, did you do something with it?" Even if she says no, she's going to be tickled to death that you even asked. It's most certainly a win-win. Follow-up that compliment with the very general, but very effective, "You look great". I know, it sounds so boring, but it's a winning phrase. **Note: If you notice something new on her, point it out. Compliment her on it. Chances are, if it's new, she's into you.Women don't always purchase new things, just for the hell of it. If she went out of her way to look good, your off to a good start.**
Finally, the Good Night Kiss. For this one my friends, you're on your own. I can't tell you anything about them. They are a great mystery to us all. This, is all about you. You are going to have to read the non-verbal signals your lady friend is giving you and react. My only advice is make sure it's the right time. "Hitch" was right...The first kiss is extremely important.** I would steer clear from tongue unless she initiates that herself.**--
I hope you guys were able to take something away from this entry. It's a simple run down and only touches the surface of what a Date entails. If you have any questions, leave a comment or tweet us @Guy_Code
