Never be too trusting of the male “buddy” who offers to be there for you after a breakup. I remember a female comedian making some joke about realizing how many of her male “friends” were just “patient” men, as soon as she ended her relationship. They come out of the woodwork when you become single. And the guy who offers to bring over a funny movie and your favorite comfort food conveniently brings a condom, too.

We now know that any other conversation we try to make is just something you’re patiently sitting through until you get to sleep with us. We really can’t just have a normal conversation once you’ve hit on us. We know you’re just thinking, “Alright, enough of that—is this going down or not?”

Try to remember that when a man is just showering you with attention, you aren’t actually getting to know him. You know he can flatter you, sure, but you don’t really know anything else about his personality.
This one’s pretty slimy and terrible, too—the guy who pretends he’s going to make a useful professional introduction for you. Then that person “can’t make it” and it’s just the two of you at dinner—or worse, this guy’s home
Recently when I was hanging out with two of my most decent, honest (if I do say so myself) male friends I overheard them checking their online dating profiles.
