Even Ugly Men Can Give Good Relationship Advice
Shooting The Messenger: Why Even Ugly Men Can Give Good Relationship Advice
A segment of a comment on yesterday’s recap of the recent event:
Now, they’re clearly great guys, but the amount of dating, relationship advice, opinions of women that they share in the blog really struck a cord with me. No offense, but it just didn’t seem likely that these guys could have the frequency of experiences with women to be able to talk about such things to the extent that you do. I mean, my friends and I expected to meet some pretty suave gentlemen and albeit they’re cools guys, they’re just not the type of men that we believe could garner the expertise to talk so frankly about women.
Well la di da. Apparently, seemed I am not cool enough to be ladies men of any sort. Now, I’ll never claim to be a ladies man anyway. I’m one ladie’s man – Laura Winslow. Mind you, this was the opinion of one person who ventured out and – honestly – assessed her interactions with the two of us. Now of course, I immediately took that to mean that we couldn’t book her. Which may or may not be true. But it also presupposes we’d want to. A(squared) + B(squared) = C (squared). But that’s neither here nor there. Because her entire premise is flawed anyway.

See, nearly every man can give relationship advice if he’s just honest. And do you know why? Because 99 percent of the relationship advice that men give falls into two categories: 1) common sense or 2) the truth that women either don’t want to hear or don’t want to accept. And this isn’t to say that all men have common sense or even a good grasp of the truth.
But there’s also that little tidbit that most women either refuse to acknowledge or refuse to believe that it could happen to them. The most marginal man can book a decent to above average woman as long as he’s *WHAT CLASS?*…
…funny.
And me? I’m thebomb.com/imawesome.
We’ve talked about this before, but all women need to keep them interested, generally, is a good laugh. Not saying she’s going to give up the cotton immediately, but if you make a woman laugh she’ll at least listen a little bit longer. A smart ugly man will hone his comedic sensibilities because that’s really all he has…his gift of gab. So let’s say a funny ugly dude has the gift of gab and manages to charm the pants off of women…or has money. This cat can rack up chicks. We’ve all seen it happen.
And multiple experiences with women makes it possible to speak on those situations. Which then brings us to credibility. See one part of the comment that stood out was that she was questioning our credibility. But you know the problem with the entire argument was that she was placing feminine ideology into a man’s realm. It’s quite obvious men and women view things completely differently. I’ll bet there are women reading this now sideways just because its easier and makes more sense. See what I did there? As a man, I know that I ain’t believing a busted chicks opinion on a lot of things man related. Fair or unfair, it is what it is. If a chick who looks like Shamu’s attractive third cousin’s bottom feeding sauerkraut dealer comes to me telling me how many men she has, I know she’s lying. Hell, sometimes I wonder how some women even end up pregnant. Unattractive women are generally good wang repellant.
So yes, I’ll even go so far as to say that if I read a chicks blog about her exploits etc and she’s busted I automatically lose interest and find it hard to really believe. I think women view things that way to a degree. Except women get gamed by less than supermodel, suave Billy Dee ninjas all the time. I know I’m not Boris Kodjoe, Becker, or Yeltsin. I remember on the post that shall remain nameless how somebody said that my only real asset in life was my personality. But wow…what an asset. If I looked like Kid and was a douche, well yeah, I might be short in life. But I’m fun. And do you know what women like? Fun guys. And you know what happens to women who are around fun guys? They end up interested. Even accidentally. That coupled with women just being better people in general and more willing to take a shot on happiness as opposed to superficiality (in general) and you can end up with more women than you can shake your stick at.
Point is, even though I don’t know what you heard about me, I’m still a motherf*cking P I M P. But you do bring up an interesting question about relationship advice in general – even a broke clock is right twice a day – and that’s this:
When actually seeking out relationship advice, what do you look for in the way of credibility? And if you find out a man isn’t “traditionally” attractive, etc (think the Game post from the other day and Mystery’s face), does it diminish the impact of the advice? If you find out a dude is more atttractive, does it mean you pay more attention to the advice he might have to give?
And I wonder this…has any man ever gone to a woman to ask for relationship advice? And would he if the chick wasn’t hot?
