In pursuit of furthering my abilities for helping people I have began training to become a Certified Life Coach (as my real self, not my alter ego/alias).
I am offering free 30 minute sessions over the phone or skype, or in person if you’re in the Bay Area, to gain experience & feedback & build a client base.

Girls turn the water on when they pee. It’s true! Probably not when they are alone but when there is a man in the vicinity of the bathroom they are in, they turn on the water to disguise the fact that they are actually peeing. To a man this sounds ridiculous. Years ago I myself dropped the whole ‘hide my pee’ faucet routine & you know why? Is the faucet a representation of insecurity?
I was getting a ride home from work today with my lovely girlfriend thinking about what to write about for S&C today when the song “Let Me Love You” by Mario came on. I immediately — as I often do — exclaimed, “Holy shit, I just got a great idea for a S&C article.”
Mario’s song talks about how if some girl just let him love her he would never cheat on her & he would treat her right & give her everything [she] wants & needs. I think this feeling of wanting someone who is in a bad relationship presently & wondering why they are in it & why they can’t just give it up & realize they should be with someone like you who would treat them so well is pretty common Why can’t people in bad relationships just let someone treat them well?
I just got home from the second of five college graduations this spring. I went through a variety of emotions during these
weekends but basically none of them had anything to do with the people who were graduating. A graduation weekend is something of a celebration in it’s purest form. Like the wedding was a few months back, I became slightly introspective about my own experience with “the next step” & how my life is set to change in the years to come. All the cute girls in sun dresses didn’t help but I certainly tried to pay attention a little less to them & a little more to the loving families that surrounded me.
Both graduations were out of town so I spent a large amount of time in airports & on airplanes, checking out women. I do this a lot obviously but for whatever reason being hungover in an airport really makes you want to fuck pretty much anything that breathes. (To revise that in a slightly less vulgar manner, I’d probably say being hungover just makes you lonely. Period.)
When you’re a single traveler like myself, there are many things that go through your head when you see an attractive woman. First & most obvious is “I wonder if she’s single”. I can’t tell you how many hands I’ve looked at in search of a ring. That doesn’t always work but more than anything it can give you confidence. Second is “Why is she going where I’m going? Simon’s take on attractive women at graduations
We all have those friends who are always in relationships. I constantly wonder why they can’t just be by themselves. They go from relationship to relationship — most of them bad, abusive, controlled, unhappy, etc. — & never really learn anything. See, this is the problem with serial monogamy, it’s that you never have that rest from the relationship activity you need to synthesize what you have learned.
A lot of times these people will say something like, “Well I don’t wanna leave this until I have something better.” What’s wrong with serial monogamy?
