The Garys of Gilmore Girls

So I’m a little (a lot) late to the party, but I recently finished watching the entire Gilmore Girls series (I watched episodes here and there during its initial run, but really needed to start from the beginning to better understand the characters/story lines) and A Year in the Life, and thought breaking down the…

A Connection Doesn’t Equal A Gary

I have purposely avoided telling you what qualities Gary should possess. After all, we’re all different and need different things in a life mate. I still stand by this rule and always will. But there is one thing I feel compelled to state, loud and clear, and it’s this: if you feel your significant other…

Thinking Outside the Box for Gary

Gary could be staring you right in the face and you wouldn’t even know it. Sounds cliché, right? Don’t roll your eyes yet. I’m not talking about the guy you consider a brother because you’ve been best friends with since kindergarten (although, come to think of it, even he shouldn’t be ruled out). I’m talking…

Putting Out For Gary

That got your attention, didn’t it? Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am not talking about anything sexual (although if you want to get all sexy with your Gary, go for it). I am talking about how some people feel they deserve the world from their guy, but refuse to give the world in…

You Need to Be Ready for Gary

Like quitting smoking, drugs, and other bad habits, you need to be ready – really ready – when it comes to finding Gary. This is not something you can lie to yourself about and expect things to work. So if that means saying these words out loud to yourself and others – “I’m not interested…

IT’S NOT GARY, IT’S YOU

The words you’re about to read might be painful. They might cause you to make some sort of I-have-no-idea-how-to-type-it out-noise from your mouth or nose while slightly retracting your head and raising an eyebrow at the same time. So brace yourself, because shit’s about to get real. There is a very real possibility the problem…

Gary is a Test of Patience

I am not the most patient person. This is something I have struggled with since, oh, probably my entire existence. I even have a tattoo of the Chinese character for patience as a reminder I constantly need it. And I always wondered when, and how, this elusive thing called patience would really, truly test me.…

Oh Ya, I Have a Phone

You know you have a Gary when you forget – or don’t even want – to check your phone. While I still stand firm in refusing to tell people what characteristics their Gary should possess, I feel it’s okay to provide some guidelines. Because, really, The Gary Club is essentially a guide itself, so what’s…

Swipe Right for Gary

You CAN judge a Gary – or non-Gary – by his profile pic. Full disclosure: I am not an online dating expert. I have never experienced what I’ve been told can be quite horrific online dating, and I have never signed up for a dating site. So for this blog I will be drawing from…
