He's an average guy, who doesn't stand out in any way. How is he supposed to find love if women only look for the hottest of the hot?| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Hi Dr. NerdLove, I've known my partner for around 1.5 years. He's from a foreign country, but his parents are from here. He moved here half a year ago, the plan was to stay here for 1-2 years to learn the language and work. Entering the relationship was a difficult decision for him, because he never thought he would commit to someone outside of his own country. However, we decided to commit even though the future seems scary for both of us. He's been having a hard time adjusting (he barely sp...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Between women refusing to date a virgin and hearing that relationships don't last, he's losing hope. Why should he bother dating in the first place?| Paging Dr. NerdLove
As someone who's been active on the Internet since 1994 — before there was a World Wide Web, even — I've seen a lot of changes over time. Few, however, have been as significant as the way that online dating has changed. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. Spring Street Personals, shared across Salon and The Onion. Paying to send messages and buying 'roses' to send instead of likes, winks and pokes. I watched major dating sites become infested with zombie accounts and new ones popula...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
I want to talk to you for a moment about a client I had. He, like a lot of my coaching clients, wanted to know what it takes to be someone women want to date. This caught me off guard; this was a guy who had a lot going for him. He was tall, good looking and fun to talk to. And yet, he didn't struggle with meeting women so much as failed to so much as look at them. Never mind striking out, the guy got the screaming abdabs just thinking about going up to the plate. Once we identified just| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Estimated reading time: 14 minutes Ello Doc I've seem to have a very toxic relationship with my own virginity especially my mid 20s. I hate it, I despise it and I distain and frankly honestly want to get rid of this burden that's crushing me like a ton of bricks. Let's be honest it's 2024 and well it's trendy, sex positive (thank you Bumble) and feminist shame, degrade and mock men for being virgins (and their penis size) and kinda understandably so because frankly lotta of male virgins (or i...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Estimated reading time: 14 minutes Dear Dr. NerdLove: Long time, first time, you know the drill. I want you to settle something for me and my friends. We've been arguing about the whole 'who's the most attractive to women' and we're getting nowhere. My position is that women are more attracted to bodies than guys think. I can't on Instagram without seeing my female friends openly drooling over some gym bro with 8% body fat. Meanwhile if you were to ask them, they'd say it's not about their lo...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
He knows he shouldn't, but he keeps reading about how older virgins like him shouldn't date. How can he keep social media from destroying his confidence?| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Ah, I see it's that time of year again. Normally on Fridays, I run questions for Ask Dr. NerdLove and help you — and folks like you — solve your dating dilemmas. But occasionally… well, occasionally I get a letter that requires a much deeper dive than most. And then occasionally I get ones like today's, which happen so regularly that you can actually measure the intervals between them and count down to when I'll get the next. Like the monarch butterflies traveling to Mexico and swallows...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
