Five Other Things Women Can Do Like Guys. “I’m going to start dating like a man.” “I’m like a guy when it comes to sex.” The two quotes above are not from any one or two specific women, but rather, from a variety of women I have talked to over the years. This idea of dating or hooking up with the attitude of a man amuses me because when women say this, they do so with an air of liberation. It’s the thing they say right before they start hooking up and not taking names. Of course, I have no problem with this attitude adjustment. No matter how brief or long women embrace the behavior of a man, I bank on the benefits. Nothing like a woman who doesn’t care more than I don’t care.

But why must women limit their new man-like attitude to just dating and hooking up? The fairer sex should think beyond such surface level things and adopt other ways they can act like a man. To help them, I have created a list of five more things they can do like a guy, in addition to the dating/hooking up like a guy. Ladies, not only will the five things I list here help men like me better deal with you, but they will help you as well. Choose not to embrace any of these, and I wish you continued success in doing things the hard way.

THE FIVE OTHER THINGS A WOMAN CAN DO LIKE A GUY. Watch TV Like A Guy: Not only does this mean no longer watching marathons of the Real Housewives of ANYWHERE and The Hills. It means replacing those marathons with ESPN SportsCenter marathons. Daily. Even if it’s the same one for four hours, and muted the entire time. Don’t change the channel. Pick Up The Check Like A Guy: To all the ladies who want to date like a guy, don’t do it halfway. Do it all the way and pay for the first date. THAT IS dating like a guy. Call Me Like A Guy: And when I say call me like a guy, I essentially mean don’t call me at all.

Fight Like A Guy: Whenever a man sees his woman talking to another man, he doesn’t care who initiated the conversation, the first person he’s handling is the man. If it comes to a fisticuffs, so be it. The man must always be checked. But when a woman catches her man talking to another woman, she usually blames the man and wants to go off on him. Cut that out, ladies. It makes too much sense, and part of acting like a man, is letting our ego get in the way of common sense from time to time. Develop the ability to fight like a guy and start checking these women who are talking to your man. Ask questions later. If it comes to fisticuffs, so be it. Exterminate Like A Guy: Ladies, the next time a pigeon has flown into your crib or there’s a spider in the bathroom, handle it yourself. Google “How to catch a Pigeon” or take your slipper to the spider. No screaming, no calling my name. Guy up.
