Shipwreck’s Guide to Understanding Men

This week’s special guest writer is my good friend Dr Josh Tymms, a young single 24 year old Chiropractor in Perth, and a world cocktail champion.  If ever there was a ladies man, he would be it.  Nice smile, soft hands, and very intelligent.  Ladies, Shipwreck’s advice is to lap up his words of wisdom -

Shipwreck has requested a few choice words from Dr J about relationships! Relationships!

I’m single, and I have enjoyed being single for the past two or three years! I can’t say I relate much to people when they talk about couple issues these days, but anyway here I am on Shipwrecks Blog.

Instead of giving a whole heap of advice I’ll just spill some of what goes on in my head.

A friend and work colleague of mine proposed to her boyfriend last week. After a few jokes about her now being the pants in the relationship, I was thinking how this sort of thing is becoming more and more common these days. The biggest thing I have been noticing lately, are the changing trends in response to the man shortage!

Is this general knowledge to females in our city yet?? I think the case may be similar in other parts of the world also. But here in little ole Perth, Western Australia, this is the case! It was a headlining story in the news during March only a few weeks ago! Great for all us blokes! Not so good for the ladies.

Used to be you would need to seek out the venues with the better girl to guy ratio, but not so anymore. I can’t remember the last time I have been out on the town without noticing the plentiful supplies of good looking girls out on the prowl.

It poses a problem for the girls. Playing hard to get these days will mean that you will wake up at age thirty alone in your bed nursing your cat! Guys should probably just relax a bit now. Stop fighting between themselves for this one girl, and realise there really are a whole lot of fish in the sea. However it can be a double edged sword for the guys too.

There are a lot of different ways girls can stand out in a crowd, and none of them are wrong but you need to make sure you can pull it off.

For example don’t go wearing short dresses unless you’ve got killer legs. Don’t try to dirty dance if you’ve got no rhythm.

The truth is a genuine smile, a soft touch or sincere compliment works best every time. If it doesn’t spark any interest he’s either totally off the planet or just not interested, so move on.

Thinking about it, I don’t think flirting is something I’ve ever seen a lady struggle with. I think you are all born with that innate intelligence well programmed into your system, and by the time you’re approaching some bloke to grab his attention. There is little doubt you know what you’re doing.

At the moment crazy stuff is happening all over the place. Some girls are getting a little desperate and impatient. They are throwing themselves at guys who already have partners, and hence the double edged sword for the guys. Temptation is a funny thing. The grass always seems greener on the other side.

Guys beware the consequences of our actions. That particular piece of living in the moment may cost us more than we could of ever of imagined at the time. It’s a bloody small world. These things we do seem to travel, especially in the time of Facebook!

It is the men in Perth that are in limited supply, and even more limited supply are the allegeable men. 

So girls remember that it is important to have found a good one early, because the chances of finding love after 30 become very remote according to recent studies. Not that there is anything wrong with being alone in bed at 30 with your cat, but action now could improve the situation.

Happy hunting
