Sometimes guys want help with their relationships and what they are asking for isn't really possible.  I had one guy ask me one time if there was a way that he could somehow break up a relationship so that he could get his ex girlfriend back.  I guess they had split sometime back and he wanted her back,  but she ended up meeting a new guy that she married.  I told him it was impossible,  but even if it was possible,  why would a guy want to go and do that?

You might find yourself in a situation where you are trying to do the impossible and that is setting yourself up for failure most likely,  but definitely it will make you unhappy.

Let's say that guy had broken up that marriage but didn't get his ex back,  just caused massive amounts of heart break and pain.  What would that achieve?  Would it make him feel any better or make his love life somehow fulfilling?

Doubt it.

It's much better to try and focus on what is possible.

Not to say that you shouldn't stretch yourself,  you definitely should.

Still,  sometimes you just have to admit that certain things are not going to happen.

And be cool with it.

That's part of having the right mindset,  to be honest.

Is it possible to hook up with that celebrity you have a crush on?

Probably not.  Unless you plan to move out to Hollywood and star in a few films.

Is it possible to hook up with a woman who looks a lot like that celeb you have that crush on?

You bet.

Instead of focusing in on that one woman that you can't get... why not focus on the ones that you can get?

As a man, young or old, you ought to be concerned with the state of your skin. Many men seem like they could care less about the state their skin. With the Hockey season just starting up, who has time to worry about skin care?

If you plan on going down to the pub to catch the game with your buddies, you should heed my advice and do your best to look good. Hey, you never know when you are going to meet Ms. Right! You should all know by now that we want a man who takes care of himself and puts some effort into his appearance.

Cleansing is important part of everyday skin care. Good old soap and water is better than using nothing at all, but hand soap is designed for use on hands. Feel your hands. I don't think anyone wants a face that feels like that. Why not try something new?

Take a trip down to your local pharmacy and have a look around. Or if you are too embarrassed and you already have a Mrs. Right, I'm sure she would be happy to pick something up for you. There are countless products available, and there is sure to be something right for you. Try to find something with minimal fragrance, so you aren't overpowering the ladies with your various scents.

Shaving is another thing that men don't give much thought to. Well, you ought to! Why have rough, razor-burned skin when you could be smooth? Trust me. The ladies like a man that is smooth, and that doesn't just apply to clichéd pick-up lines!

Always use a warm washcloth on your face before you shave. This will soften the hairs, and allow your pores to open up. And before you shave, make sure you have a decent razor. Those disposable razors should be disposed of once and for all! There are a number of new razors on the market that will provide you with a good, close shave. Be sure to use a quality shaving cream or gel, and be sure to moisturize when you are done.

As a young lady looking for Mr. Right, I know how important it is to find a man who takes care of himself. My mother always said you can tell a lot about a man by his appearance, and I couldn't agree more. Beyond that, your damned stubble hurts my face! See you out on the town, boys!

Dancing is often looked at as one of those things that guys just don't want to do and I get that.  However,  there are some who would suggest that knowing a little bit about dancing won't help you when it comes to getting women and you know what?

I've never really found that to be true.

I've found that it DOES help.

Not to say that you have to become excellent at it or even become one of those guys who just wants to get out and dance for the sake of dancing.

But,  if you want to take a woman out on a second or third date... it's really not a bad option.

And it isn't that bad for meeting women either.

Clubs are usually packed with women and even though they might not really be looking to hook up with anyone,  if you can slide in for a few dances and THEN get her talking afterwards... it's usually a good thing.

Yeah,  you can still be a bad boy and do a little dancing.  It won't kill your game,  in fact,  it might actually help it out a little bit.

You could say that just about all of your success with women will hinge on your ability to make conversation.  Unless you were born with movie star good looks and got a little gift from the gene fairy,  you are going to have to be able to hold a woman's attention while talking to her.  That's just the way that it goes and there is no sense in denying that reality.  If you are having a hard time making small talk with women,  chances are good that you are also having a hard time attracting women.  The two generally go hand in hand.

Making small talk with women is easy,  but only if you let it be easy.

If you feel like you have to always be on point with the things that you say,  chances are you are going to end up blowing it when you have the opportunity to talk to a woman,  simply because you are going to be putting way too much pressure on yourself.

It needn't be that way at all.

Here are some things that can get a little bit of small talk going:

• Talk about music with her.  Most women love to talk about music,  so it's one of those topics that you can almost always use as a go to when you can't think of anything to say.

• Talk about her hobbies and interests.  People like to talk about themselves,  they really do.  Getting a woman to open up about the things that she likes is one slick way to get a conversation going that she actually enjoys.

• Talk to her about your hobbies and interests.  You want to come across like a guy who does things.  Not like a guy who lives a boring life.  So open up about the things that you like to do.  Just make sure that you don't make the entire conversation seem like you are trying to "sell" yourself to her.

• Talk to her about nonsensical things.  This is a good way to keep a conversation light and funny.  It's a good way to show a woman that you are not some uptight guy who can't live a little.

Whenever a guy is having trouble attracting women,  he can use a little polishing up in the conversation department.  Take the time to make small talk with women just for the hell of it.  Just do it to have some fun,  gain experience,  and get a little bit better. 

It'll be worth it.
