DATING MULTIPLE PEOPLE JUST MAKES SENSE

Like Getting Hurt? Only Date One Person!

You go out on a Saturday night to the bar and you meet a woman within the first five minutes of walking in the door. Then there is that instant attraction and connection with this person. But all of a sudden her girlfriends want to leave because their heels are hurting them. Any man with confidence would clearly get the young lady's phone number. But, the real question is: How do you treat the rest of your evening?

Some may say, "Enjoy the night and don't worry about other women in the bar because you already got one beautiful girl's phone number." Smarter men would take the first phone number as a sign of things to come. Maybe you're looking really good that night. Maybe you're coming across very confident, which women can sense from miles away. Why waste the rest of a good evening with just one phone number? Answer: YOU DON'T!

The problem with putting all your eggs in one basket without searching for more eggs is that you never know if you're missing out on meeting a sexier, nicer, more compatible egg. It's simple math. If you get five phone numbers in one night, the chances of you finding a person you like is obviously higher. If you fill your week with drinks and dinners with different girls then you will be able to figure out who you are more compatible with. Weed out the weirdo's and continue dating the ones you enjoy being with. Wiggle that down until you have found the one you want to date exclusively. So why is this looked upon so negatively? Depends on who you ask.

The reason you should not sell yourself short is because when you are dating a single woman, you find yourself in a world of trouble before you know it. There are many things that guys do wrong when concentrating on a single woman. Showing to much attention to a girl, looking somewhat desperate and letting that person into your head more often than you should are all issues men have to cope with.

If you're only dating one measly girl, you're probably showing this girl to much attention. It is definitely a fine line but you cannot smother someone you want a future with. She will notice this and think that you're quite desperate or a stage five clinger. But, if you don't flirt or give this person attention at the proper time they may feel like you have minimal interest or that your thoughts are laying with some other lady. Another reason you need the distraction of various women is so that the person you're interested in will be more intrigued by the amount of options you have. That woman will think that you must have some great qualities if you have other women interested in you. Finally, if you keep yourself distracted with other women, you will stay busy and in turn keep the one you really like, out of your head. Why would you want her out of your head you ask? Well, maybe not completely out of your head but enough to keep yourself busy and not letting yourself become that stage five clinger type.

Enjoy your life by seeing the various types of women. Don't be ashamed of dating multiple people at once. It is the best way to find what you're looking for. From dating a lot you will be able to find that person who will make you truly happy in a relationship.

The Perch Bottom Line - Date people who you know for a fact like you. If you are not sure, chances are they don;t like you in a sexual way. That, or you're just an idiot. If that person likes you, she will be worth spending time with. Don't force anything and good things will come!!

The UFC is NOT a Sport!

*To start, apologies for no post on Friday. Internet complications*

Understand This: Sport is Different from Entertainment

Over the weekend we had probably the biggest card ever at UFC 100 in Las Vegas. My focus is not going to be on what the results were, although congrats to Canadian George St-Pierre for retaining his title, but rather the UFC product in general.

Watching mixed martial arts highlights on Sports Centre is nothing out of the ordinary but watching my first event live on Saturday night left a lasting impression. And not exactly in the best of ways.

Watching some of the lighter weight classes wasn't to bad considering there was actual SKILL and martial arts taking place. Certain fighters in the higher weight class do possess actual skill but the co-main event between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir was a disgrace. Having a 275 pound man jump on someone else, hold him down in a head lock and just pound his head, punch after punch, until he's knocked out doesn't belong on pay per view or TV in general. This is the type of behaviour that belongs in the zoo with two monkey's duking it out. Or even between a couple of crack whores, in a dingy alley way at 5am on a Tuesday. This is a disgusting excuse for a sport.

The brutality is unbearable for many but for others it is being able to feel as if you're the person beating someone up. It puts anger in many people's mind. Proof of that is if you're at a bar with a bunch of morons who think it's their fight their winning. The crowd reminds me of the small town, low income, drunk and stupid hicks who watch World Wrestling Entertainment.

Notice the key word 'Entertainment.' Of course wrestling is fake and UFC is real, but please tell me the other differences. Both have story lines that are set up. Both have the same trashy fans. And both, have global appeal. They also both have women running around in skimpy outfits, but that is something that goes on the pro side, rather than the con.

Ask yourself this: why did Brock Lesner not succeed in WWE? He had no personality to carry story lines to the max. So, why is it when he joins UFC he's an outspoken, pompous stooge? He is being fed lines to build the hype of fights. Then you look into the crowds, or see the die hard fans watching this "sport" at a bar. Is there any difference? No. I saw grown men standing on chairs at a bar and signalling the notion that they personally had won a title belt. Same bone heads as in the WWE.

The bottom line is that at least the WWE knows what it is. And that's being a world wide Entertainment corporation. The UFC is trying to turn mixed martial arts into a brutal, blood filled sport, which it is not. Accept the fact you're an 'entertainment' company and a pretty poor example of that to children around the world. No wonder there's so much violence in this world. Look at the shit we have to watch on television.

What's on TV this week:

MLB All-Star Home Run Derby - TONIGHT

MLB All-Star Game - Tuesday featuring Toronto's Roy Halladay and Aaron Hill

Canada's Next Top Model Finale - Tuesday

DAVID BECKHAM on Regis and Kelly - Wednesday

Thumbs Up: Thumbs up to Canadian coffee chain Tim Horton's for breaking into the New York City market. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere! Thumbs Down: Thumbs down to all these young women in our world who for some fucked up reason are dating 30-something year old men. In the past two weeks, two dumb bitches in their early 20's have killed thier sports icon husband/lover who has been in their mid 30's. PSYCHO BITCHES! R.I.P. Gatti and McNair.
