Ladies, listen up. If you’re having trouble in the dating trenches -- whether it’s meeting a guy, attracting the right kind of guy, or maintaining a guy’s interest -- this may just be the article for you. We’re going inside the mind of the single guy to find out what makes him tick. From his dating dos and don’ts to how he feels about monogamy and marriage, you’ll learn all you need to know to successfully snag the attention -- and, possibly, affections -- of the single guy.

Real guys like real girls (so just be yourself)
If you’re looking to meet a genuinely good guy, the first thing you need to know is that real guys like real girls. You don’t have to have 36-24-36 measurements or play fickle relationship games, and you definitely shouldn’t pretend to be someone you’re not. Guys consider phoniness a huge turnoff, so the next time you meet a single guy, do yourself a favor and just be your fabulous self. Maybe you won’t attract every guy in the room, but the right guy will be intrigued. The rest is up to you!

Independent women rule
For the single guy, the beauty of being single lies in his ability to have a full and rewarding life independent of a relationship. This allows him to nurture his career ambitions, enjoy time with friends, date interesting women, and live life to the fullest. That’s why it’s important for you to do the same. By being strong, independent, and fully in love with your own fabulous single gal life, you’re that much more likely to attract the single guy who just might be right for you.

It's okay for you to make the first move
By now we’ve all heard about those notorious pickup artists who employ various tactics to meet, woo, and ultimately bed their conquests. Aside from these players and their questionable motives, there are single guys out there who might prefer that you make the first move. In fact, a lot of guys report that they like it when a girl makes the first move. It lets them know she’s interested (and it’s a real confidence boost!). But a word of caution -- if you make the first move, don’t make the second, third, and fourth. Guys want and need to be part of the delicate dating chase. If you do all the work, they’ll just stop chasing.

Mostly true stuff. Thing is, it's almost identical to "inside the mind of a sigle gal." Except for the fact that there's more self-recrimination when the sex turns out to be recreational, because society has the whole "good girl" hypocrisy requirement.

I thought this article was hideous. It gives the impression all women are out prowling the streets for a husband, and we are all too immature to handle sex if it’s just that…sex. Please, this is 2008, and coming from a young successful, independent woman, this article couldn’t have painted a blurrier picture of today’s woman. It seems as though I was reading something written by a lonely middle aged housewife. I don’t think this article adequately depicts today’s woman. Myself, I am a 28 year old single woman who works in a profession dominated by men. I am proud to say that I am well into the six figure salary and am ranked at the top 10% of my colleagues. I have a demanding work life, but still find the time to juggle the facials, waxing, hair, nails, dates, friend time, family time…and I love every single minute of it. I wouldn’t trade being a single independent woman for anything in the world. Sure, one day if I happen to meet someone I fall in love with, perhaps I will settle down, but in the mean time: I go on dates, I have fun, and yes, if I have a good enough time, I may have some sex too. THAT is an adequate description of today’s woman.
