Today your blog was featured in the What Men Think blog. Congratulations!

I am a big fan of What Men Think, so much so that I decided to ask him to write my first ever guest blog and I hope you enjoy what he has to share with us. He is doing a great job for the heterosexual female population, as you can see. He loves helping and is willing to answer any nagging dating questions. Happy reading!
