6 Ways to Leave the Gold-​​Digger Behind

I knew she was a gold digger when she picked me!

I knew she was a gold dig­ger when she picked me! Sorry, I kinda had to go there.

Whether you were born into money or you’re a self-​​made man, you will no doubt encounter the infa­mous gold-​​digger at some point in your dat­ing his­tory.  You know the type.  When the bill shows up at the end of the meal, she doesn’t even lift a fin­ger, but rather looks at you expec­tantly, as if dar­ing you to ask for a split instead of pay­ing in full.  Or she may insist that you take her shop­ping, point out expen­sive items that she expects you to buy for her, or even ask you for loans.  Likely she doesn’t have a job, and yet, she still finds a way to wear designer dresses and drive a Mer­cedes Benz.  All of these are sure signs that you’ve hitched your wagon to a money-​​hungry hoover.  If you find your­self in this del­i­cate sit­u­a­tion, there are a few things you may want to do to extri­cate your­self seam­lessly from the situation.

  1. Lose her phone num­ber.  The eas­i­est way to get rid of a gold-​​digger is to sever com­mu­ni­ca­tions.  To that end, you might also want to lose your phone…permanently.  If she’s not get­ting any­thing out of you, she’s bound to give up even­tu­ally and move on to eas­ier prey.
  2. Accuse her of steal­ing.  Then threaten to call the police.  Gold-​​digging dames are noth­ing more than grifters look­ing to score on some unas­sum­ing piggy-​​bank of a man.  She may act indig­nant when you say she stole your Grandma’s dia­mond watch (which you actu­ally bought for her last week), but when you explain to her that you are a respected mem­ber of the com­mu­nity who donates at the Policeman’s Ball every year, she’ll get the hint and hit the road.
  3. Con­vince her you’re bank­rupt.  Noth­ing will send the natives in search of sus­te­nance faster than the well dry­ing up.  So let her know that you’ve lost it all and it’s only a mat­ter of time before the cred­i­tors come for every­thing.  You can even get some friends to pose as repo men come to take your pos­ses­sions.  She’ll likely be out the door before they move a stick of furniture.
  4. Fall in love.  Well, not really.  Just start dat­ing some­one else and let her know that she is no longer in your affec­tions.  She might try to fight it by uti­liz­ing her exten­sive fem­i­nine wiles, but even­tu­ally she will tire of beat­ing a dead horse and move on to greener pastures.
  5. Make her pay.  If she hasn’t got­ten the hint from your refusal to prof­fer the pricey gifts she expects, then incon­ve­niently for­get your wal­let one night (for exam­ple, the night you visit a five-​​star restau­rant).  She’ll be so dis­gusted at hav­ing to pay that she’ll prob­a­bly never want to see you again.  Then neglect to pay her back.
  6. Go nuts.  Or at least act nuts.  Shave your head, spout gib­ber­ish, and gen­er­ally act like you’ve lost your mar­bles.  Then book your­self a lit­tle stay at a “health spa”.  No really, go to a spa for a few days.  Just let her think it’s a clever syn­onym for the loony bin.  Chances are good that she won’t even try to find out where you are.  And you’ll come out of it relaxed and ready to meet the woman of your dreams.

the Little Black Dress

It may seem innocent, but the woman wearing a Little Black Dress could make me do just about anything, like slapping my buddy for making me watch "the Objective."

I quite love your lit­tle black dress. Are you in need of a per­sonal slave? A mochac­cino? Mas­sage? Any­thing at all! I’m you’re dude!

If I am Super Man then the Lit­tle Black Dress is undoubt­edly my Kryp­tonite, ren­der­ing me into a state of ener­vated goo. It’s quite a pathetic site really. How­ever, I can­not help this; I’m genet­i­cally pre­dis­posed to be wooed silly by any woman, regard­less of the shape or size of the woman who dons the Lit­tle Black Dress. Why? When or where did this obses­sion come from?

Maybe I mas­tur­bated to one too many Sears cat­a­logs as a youth… errr.. or as a thirty some­thing. Who knows?

I know that this fas­ci­na­tion of black dresses began at a funeral. When I was a kid, Stan Levi fell from his roof to his sud­den demise. The back story with Stan is that the man was a bit of a perv and he loved wear­ing over­alls. I’ve since come to the con­clu­sion that over­alls and sex­ual deprav­ity are mutu­ally inclu­sive. Any­way, the funeral was lit­tered with women and these black dresses, most of them not so lit­tle. Except for one: Mrs. Farnsworth, my 5th grade teacher; when Mrs. Farnsworth was my teacher I didn’t notice her, women and girls still had cooties and were gen­er­ally gross. At the funeral I was in 7th grade and I’d grown more curi­ous and fond of girls… But Mrs. Farnsworth; some­thing clicked within me. I had an instant crush on Mrs. Farnsworth and those legs! Even if she didn’t quite remem­ber me (I was a creepy turd of a kid that peo­ple would rather not remem­ber… kind sounds like my adult life, too. Shut up!). I would always remem­ber her.

A well worn Lit­tle Black Dress exudes con­fi­dence all by itself; just add woman, serve sul­trily. The trim and cut add another dimen­sion. Just how much of the “show” will a woman let you see? The Lit­tle Black Dress taunts me; it demands my atten­tion like that ass­hole at base­ball games that keeps on call­ing play­ers’ sex­u­al­ity into ques­tion. You know THAT guy, don’t you? It’s prob­a­bly your dad. Just sayin’.  Need­less to say, the call of the Lit­tle Black Dress is relent­less as is its raw sex appeal.

Most any first date with a woman wear­ing a Lit­tle Black Dress ends with me want­ing more, some­times get­ting it, if not then ‚even more excit­ing , I’m left want­ing, yearn­ing, for more…

Is it pos­si­ble for a lit­tle piece of cloth­ing to make a woman walk… sex­ier; to make that woman saunter? With each click-​​clacked step her raw sex­u­al­ity is put on dis­play; she cranes her head from one side to the other, play­fully flick­ing her hair about expos­ing the nape of her neck and her shoul­ders. What I would give to gen­tly caress them for but a sec­ond; with each step she makes her legs flex and rip­ple with every slink and sway, much like a beck­on­ing “come here” motion from an index fin­ger… I am pow­er­less; I am gawk­ing; I am stu­pid; I am Jack’s pen­sive futil­ity… With­out ques­tion, my answer is resound­ingly “yes!”

You women; you don’t wear a Lit­tle Black Dress. It wears you! When put together, you make me so very, very imbecilic.

Lessons in Love and Retail

Retail taught me a lot about myself

Would you like my num­ber, to go with that burger?

It may come as a sur­prise to those that know me, but I was once a painfully shy per­son. I would shun the sun, if a woman walked up to me I would make a b-​​line the oppo­site direc­tion. No, I didn’t like strangers and I didn’t like the unknown. There­fore, I had few options when it came to mak­ing friends. So my cir­cle of friends was quite small. This was obvi­ously a huge obsta­cle in meet­ing women, since I didn’t really have the con­fi­dence to talk to them.

So when I was hired as a cus­tomer ser­vice rep­re­sen­ta­tive at the local Where­house music store, my friends laughed. “Dude, you HATE peo­ple and you HATE STUPID peo­ple! How are you going to last a whole shift doing cus­tomer ser­vice?” My friends were right! What was I going to do??? I grew more and more ner­vous as my first shift drew nearer. I wanted to call and quit before my first shift even started! That’s how appre­hen­sive I was about this job and the pos­si­bil­ity of meet­ing and deal­ing with so many new peo­ple. I was a total wreck! Read More »

Who Needs a Wingman Anyway? Not Me!

No Wingman? No Problem!

Hey Ladies. Have You Met My Penis? He Goes by the Name “Vag’ Ham­mer.” Who’s First?

At the Urban Dater we love to fea­ture a vari­ety of voices. Today I’m very happy to be fea­tur­ing a con­tributed post from one of our Fol­low­ers on Twit­ter, BeingDi­rect. Read his tweets and you know what’s on his mind: Women. The man is the con­nois­seur of the “Pickup.” There’s no ques­tions, no play­ing games; he’s very “to the point” on the topic. Today he’s going to lend his insights on the sub­ject of Wing­men. Enjoy!

Guys, have you ever won­dered how your life would be with­out hav­ing a wing­man? Prob­a­bly not, if you’re always going to clubs and pubs with your friends. While at the club did you make a jerk of your­self? You prob­a­bly did. You and your friends wanted to impress girls and bought them drinks, but in the end, you ended up not even get­ting a phone num­ber. Even worse, you did not get laid. Read More »
