Shipwreck’s Guide to Understanding Men

A few months back a reader asked me why guys tell girls what they always want to here, as opposed to the truth.  It’s true, I do it, all guys do it…but we do it for a reason. 
We do it because generally we get emotionally blackmailed, resulting in a no-win situation.  Which means ladies, yes, […]

Ladies, here’s something you should contemplate. Us guys can sometimes become very caught up in our own worlds, and despite showing our affection towards you, we may do so without absolute clarity. A change of environment to one that enables a guy to fully focus on you can sometimes be daunting to a guy, and he may become a bit nervous because of the supposed pressure he is being put under.

A good mate of Shipwreck’s, ‘Disco Stew’, has kindly offered to be a guest writer. The best way to describe Disco, is he’s full of charater, has a keen dress sense, and is very much a lady’s man.
Without further a-do, Shipwreck’s Guide to Understanding Men is proud to present…

‘Twas just one month til Christmas,

not a creature is stirring,

Buying Christmas gifts for guys can be a chore, so Shipwreck’s here to give you some great ideas on buying your guy […]

I must admit, there’s nothing sexier than a woman who can act, especially one who can act in a sexy way. I had a friend ask me the other day when it would be most appropriate to wear her newly purchased “french maid” outfit - ghuuuurrrr!Ok, calm down Shipwreck. She’s after a serious answer.
There is […]

Have you ever wondered what really annoys a guy? Are you wanting to get in his good books? Do you want to know how to push his buttons to your advantage?

Well Shipwreck had a bit of experience with this on the weekend, so he can let you in on a simple but pretty important thing […]

Having tanned skin merely makes you conform more with what the Cleo’s, Cosmo’s and Dolly magazines try and promote. Indeed you could say that guys take more notice of girls with tanned skin (a bit like they take more notice of hot cars). They do so because it’s part of their subconscious wanting to conform with what society recognises, or at least thinks it recognises, as ‘good looking’.

This can be a VERY touchy subject. The vast majority of people have at least one ex, and they can interfere terribly in your love life whether or not they intend on doing it.
Let’s have a look at a couple of common types of ex -
The Crazy ExThese ex’s are quite funny. Ever received a […]

Well my fluoro green shirt came out again this weekend…not to wear out at night, but to cover myself when I had to answer the door to the cops (it was the closest thing I could find!) A car windscreen had been smashed beneath my balcony and they were just asking if anyone had seen […]

*It’s my partner’s birthday today, so it prompted me to tell you a little something about how gifts work for both sexes*
Dating, flirting, and ’scoring points’ with the opposite sex is misunderstood, largely by males. Males and females use completely different scoring systems when it comes to measuring up someone’s ‘love’ or ‘lust’ for them.
