Why Single Life Rocks

Suddenly being single has had quite a drastic effect in terms of my outlook on life. Suddenly, I care a lot less what people, particularly those of the opposite sex, think about me. As a result, I have totally lost my tendency to exaggerate things, or skip on some minor detail, in the hope of getting a look at their lady-parts. I'm now brutally honest, the idea being that, if it's all going to go tits up (or not as the case may be) I'd rather know about this before I get to know them.

Therefore, when asked by a girl what I think of her, or what I am looking for with her, my response will often be something along the lines of "I think you're a nice person to have as a friend, maybe even a date or two, and if you were to insist on sleeping with me I probably wouldn't turn you down. However, I'm not looking for anything serious, and I'm not going to make you any promises for the future, or even for breakfast."

Surprisingly, this approach is actually far more effective than my previous pulling technique. OK, not necessarily in the strict sense of the word 'pulling', but I seem to have a lot more respect from the women I do talk to, and because I'm not interested in taking things further, I seem to be gathering far more female friends. This is absolutely a good thing. Some of these friends, despite being told they are nothing more than friends at the moment, are still very willing to show me their lady parts. Some of them I have graciously accepted their offers. Others I may yet allow to do so. Others I may not. Time will tell.
