Yep, you definitely sound like a 'California guy'. Absolutely one of the reasons I moved away from that place.

Sure, Leykis 101 wouldn't help one to marry "best" (there is negligible probability for that anyway) but it beats being a "nice guy" many times over . Yup, it's cynical and it's not feel good relationship crap from a self-help column, but it works most of the times. I don't necessarily mean it works "all the way", it works to get attention and avoid trouble as the very least. Why anyone would call "cynical" something that works? Maybe Leykis 101 wouldn't work on a few "evolved" females out there but other than that it guesses average woman' longings rather very well. Sorry "nice guys" your single momma messed up your brains.

Rules ALL men should live by:

1. NEVER, EVER date a single mother.

2. Never do what you don't want to do. You make the money, you decide where you are going and what you are doing.

3. Don't ask a women what she wants to do.

4. Never tell a women how much money you make.

5. Don't EVER date co-workers!

6. Never answer the phone on the weekend.

7. Never spend more than 40 bucks on a date.

8. NEVER approach a woman in a club who has her girlfriends with her.

9. If you are not getting laid by the 3rd date, dump her and move on.

10. No spooning, no cuddling, no staying over. Get in, get out!

11. Never be in a committed relationship UNTIL you are 25 or really ready to settle down.


More elaborations here:
Urban Dictionary: Leykis 101
A simplistic game for less powerful / less attractive (physically, financially, emotionally, socially, intellectually) guys (like Leykis? Don't know him) to try to gain some control / power over some (often less desirable) women. More powerful / attractive men and women don't need to play by these simpleton rules.

Many highly-desirable women 1) Wouldn't need to put up with this and walk away or 2) For fun, outplay the men who think they can get the upper hand in this game. A smart, hot woman in a sexy dress saying all the right things trumps everything on the "Rules Man Should Live By." You are giving guys too much credit for logic and will power when it comes to highly attractive women, who can be amazingly adept at getting the rules changed.

CRAZY!! I'm not proud of it, but I use to ride in the carpool lane. I did not feel so bad when on KTLA I saw stories of people using dummies in the passenger seat. I was like, " why did I not think of that?" ..lol

Interesting. "I have lived in..." implies you still are. Otherwise you would have said, "I lived in..."

Don't shoot the grammarian.

In N Out was a very rare treat for me...I don't miss it at all, especially with all the awesome food choices I have here. Although, I will say I haven't been able to find a decent Mexican food place.

I don't miss the men in California at all. Glad to be rid of 'em

Yea, same here. The Mexican spots around me suck. Also, no people on the street selling coconuts or corn at my new location.
