James Foley was an American freelance journalist. On August 19 the world saw him brutally killed and beheaded at the hands of the radical Muslim terror group called ISIS. The murderers distributed the video of the beheading through social media sites. James Foley’s murder was intended to send a message to the American people and […]
Do you think it’s easy to get the woman of your dreams? One of my buds is the most shredded guy you’ll ever meet and is still looking for his one and only. Another one of my friends is successful and owns an expensive luxury car, yet wishes he was married, and can’t find a […]
The Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin recently published a study showing men were attracted to responsive women, but women aren’t attracted to responsive men. And everyone recites, “Good guys never win.” Does this mean women are attracted to jerks? How do these study results compare to other relationship studies? And most importantly, do good guys need […]
We’ve all ended a relationship and thought, “Glad that’s over!” It’s not about blaming the other person, just acknowledging that they were only meant to be in our lives for a season; they are just not “the one”. But sometimes even when we are dating or married to the woman of our dreams, things can sometimes feel […]
Love is a lot like investing. It involves risk. With the matters of the heart there are no exact formulas, no algorithms. A mentor of mine once told me “Love is spelled R-I-S-K.” When we start this process of finding “the one,” we have no idea what lies before us. This journey can seem like […]

I started the list, but got some help from my men’s group here in Los Angeles. I hope this inspires you […]
A true good guy goes through his day recognizing his blessings in life and shows kindness to strangers. He takes time out of his day to notice the beauty in the simple and mundane. He loses two seconds out of his own day to help a woman with a stroller go down a flight of stairs. He asks the cashier, “How is your day?” with a smile. He acknowledges the janitor at work with a friendly, “Hello.”
Recently I saw a tweet describing the site as a “modern Disney version to blind the eyes of girls with so-called Prince Charming”..when did Prince Charming become the villain? The alternative is being a prick or passive.
If you’ve been to this site a few times, you might be drawn by the same ideals that have brought me here. I want to be this good guy, but for some reason, this ideal has been elusive for me.
