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…
I’m not the only one who has a Gary. And I’m not the only one who has found themselves in relationships with those who didn’t make the cut. I have heard many, many stories full of frustration and frowns, and many, many stories full of happiness and hallelujahs (hallelujahs more on my end, because this…
I think it’s fair to say the majority of us have at least one or two (or 70) dating horror stories under our belt. It could be in the form of one very terrible get together, something that turned into a serious relationship, or even a walk down the aisle to marriage. For those rare…
You must also keep in mind having a Gary does not mean he won’t act like a typical guy. If he’s a sports fan, the television screen will likely be showing whatever sports event happens to be on at that moment. This goes for every game of said sport. He will become bitter if you…
Having a Gary does not mean your work is done. It does not mean you can kick back, relax, and float happily along blissful fluffy white clouds. Sure, you can high five yourself and give yourself a proud pat on the back for following the rules of The Gary Club. But now, I would argue,…
If you aren’t in a relationship with a Gary, you must accept the fact you won’t ever be fully happy. This is the reality you must come to grips with. When talking about your non-Gary, your mouth will frown more than smile, your tone will be infused with bitterness and not sweetness, and you will…
You meet a guy. Chat (or text, for those of you who shun verbal exchanges), go on a few dates, maybe even become serious. At some point you realize he’s not Gary Club material. He might not even be a terrible person, he’s just not a member of The Gary Club. You decide to break…
@TheGaryClubBy now most women (and a good chunk of men, although some might not admit it) have watched as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda navigated love, life, and everything in between. They all had a fair share of men in their lives, some memorable (hello Aidan), and some we want to erase from memory (goodbye…
Picking up from my previous post, if you’ve never made a pro and con list for whatever reason, they actually do help. Write everything down, even things you think are trivial. Make sure to include all the things that matter most to you in a significant other. To some, having a stable job and savings…
This is a question only you can answer. In short, if you have to question it, you probably don’t have a Gary. But as with most things in life, there are exceptions. Deep down you’ll know if he’s a Gary. Your close friends will know if he’s a Gary. If he’s in, congrats! That means…
