Millions of women are waiting to meet you - a story of life, love and internet dating In an earlier post I pointed out that St Valentines day isn’t quite so much fun for singletons but it seems that I was remiss.  It’s not just lovelorn ladies that get twitchy around the 14th of February.  Lonely lads suffer too.

So here’s a hitlist of what the library has for bummed out bachelors -

  • Do you even want a girlfriend?  If you’re Pel Dalton, the protagonist of comic novel Things my girlfriend and I have argued about you could be forgiven for thinking the single life is the preferred state.  In this book Pel gets into all sorts of trouble, only some of which is caused by his frustratingly argumentative German girlfriend.  Reading this could have you feeling grateful that you’re “unencumbered”.
  • If you’re looking for an example of the joys of swinging bachelorhood you’ll find no better (or worse) example than that of Tucker Max’s new book I hope they serve beer in hell.  An unqualified cad, Tucker regales us with tales of drunken debauchery and bad behaviour that any reasonable girlfriend would dump a guy over.  Definitely for single guys only, and not for the easily offended.
  • Not sure where you went wrong the last time you were on a date? Go “forensic” with dating manual DSI : Date scene investigation to help solve the “mystery” of your lonely Saturday nights.
  • If you’re considering internet dating don’t click that mouse until you’ve read Millions of women are waiting to meet you : a story of life, love and internet dating which details the trials and tribulations of various internet dates as experienced by author Sean Thomas.
  • If you think the power of prayer might help you get a date consider consulting with one of the scrum of saints who watch over the bachelors of the world.
