Attention Men: Don't Do This

I was recently stopped in the grocery store by a male reader who recognized me from some of my old Fly Guy videos. After briefly exchanging pleasantries, the conversation became serious, as he began to lay out a series of dating mishaps that he recently endured.

“How do I turn the tide Fly Guy,” he pleaded. “It seems like I keep sabotaging myself with idiotic decisions. Can you offer me any advice?”

Well my standard answer in those types of situations is to simply encourage the person to relax and be themselves. Of course when I told him this, he thanked me and went on his way … and that was that. But as I scanned the blog universe today, I stumbled across a picture that forced me to rethink my advice.

So “guy from the grocery store,” if you happen to be reading this; know that I still stand behind my advice about being yourself. But if “being yourself” with a woman ever includes doing something like this….

Then think again.

I’m not sure what Marques Houston was thinking when he took this picture. But when I first saw it, I wasn’t sure if I should ask him to cover up or ask how far apart his contractions were.

This is not the way the impress a woman. Can the church say Amen?
