Ep.30 – Where is Everybody? Putting Yourself in Places to Meet People
Ep. 29 – Face Your Fears: Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone
Ep. 29 – Face Your Fears: Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone
This week, William and I discuss the benefits of taking a step or two outside your comfort zone. Since nothing new happens when you don’t do anything new, turn your life into an adventure! Find other things you might be good at, and have opportunities to meet new people and/or have more things to talk about in conversations with strangers (see: Lesson 2!)
We discuss Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., learn that the young women of America look up to William, and I was completely wrong about the government shut down – whatever.
Tables don’t stay “Flipless in Austin” when we take a look at every thing you should NEVER do when trying to find your soul mate. Bastards be crazy. You can check out all that magic below:

Homework for Lesson 3! Do something that you would normally avoid because it makes you feel vulnerable or alone, like go to a movie by yourself, eat at a restaurant alone, go to that MTG tournament, or that board game night at your local game store – not to look for mates, but to just get out there and do something!
It’s a British Invasion…

So, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to premier in about an hour, so I wanted to squee, and post this photo as a THANK YOU to MY NEW SUBSCRIBERS!
People have been downloading the heck out of my podcast episode archives, so welcome new folks! Nothing is more entertaining than looking at which episodes people have the most interest in…y’all are some dirty people!
So, enjoy Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., stay classy, and thanks for stopping by.
Episode 28 – Meeting New People: Break the Rules and Talk to Strangers
Episode 28 – Meeting New People: Break the Rules and Talk to Strangers
We’re breaking all the rules in this episode of Mating Habits! Alpha Counter’s Sean Ryan and I discuss the tricks to having a good conversation with complete strangers in Lesson 2 of MHMG Learning Annex – Becoming comfortable conversing with others. We go back and forth about why talking to folks we don’t know is difficult and sometimes makes us look like creeps, and how Sean might have missed his calling as Sean Ryan: Marketing Rapist.
We recap Sean’s almost hot-n-heavy DragonCon experience with “The Lady in The Loft,” I go into WAY too much detail about my recent sex life, and then we flip tables over dickwolves, Nazis, and Heroes of Cosplay – typical MHMG tableflip 😉

Ep. 27 – Getting to Know Yourself: Not in the Biblical Sense
Ep. 27 – Getting to Know Yourself: Not in the Biblical Sense
Cycle 6 begins with our first installment of the five-part series: MHMG Learning Annex! School’s in session, and in this first lesson, we discuss ways to build your self confidence by taking the time to figure out the positive aspects of who you are. It’s your uniqueness that makes you a valuable human being, and recognizing those unique qualities in a positive way is the only way to build confidence and make yourself more attractive to others.
“Paris” and “The Business, LLC” join me to recap parts of Dragon*Con 2013 and make an important relationship announcement. The Business shares the “Knuckle Scale of Attractiveness” and talks about “Building your Confidence Armor;” Paris gets real and admits her Reddit addiction; and I am awesome, as per usual.
We exhaust ourselves flipping tables over nerd-herd movement, lack of signage, giant backpacks and general dickery in cons, lack of curiosity about life, and shitty, shitty friends. Get into it!

Ep. 26 – Stats and Standards: “Y’all Got Issues”
Episode 26 – Stats and Standards: “Y’all Got Issues”
We’re 1 Year Old! Mating Habits presents our last episode of Cycle 5 where William and I break it down in plain English: There’s a reason why your online dating messages may not be getting a response, or why you may not be getting unsolicited messages from women. I finally announce my new Single Status, William and I share our latest “encounters” on OkCupid, and we dissect an interesting experiment performed by Jon Millward where it shows how women receive so many more unsolicited messages than men, she may be too fed up with “Hey, sexy,” and “Wanna fuck?” messages by the time she gets to yours – I know I am.
We also discuss how taking care of yourself and working on your outside appearance can help bolster the awesomeness you have inside. #fitness is the hottest hashtag of the summer, and taking care of your health and/or your appearance can help you build confidence, and help rejection hurt less. You don’t have to start working out everyday or buy a whole new wardrobe, but some simple changes can help you make the best impression possible.
Tables are flipped over the Reaction TO the Reaction TO the announcement of the 12th Doctor – folks overreact to the under reaction, and we react to that.
It’s been an amazing year, and we’re not stopping anytime soon. Thank you for listening, for all of your support, and looking forward to many, many more years here at Mating Habits of the Modern Geek!

Episode 25 – The Pick-Up Artist: Learn to Annoy Women and Strike Out with Finesse
If you’re looking to improve your chances with women, listen to MHMG. If you want to annoy 90% of the women around you and end up with the drunkest woman with the lowest self-esteem left at the bar, read a Pick-Up Artist-style “Seduction Manual.”
Join Alpha Counter’s Sean Ryan and me as we discuss what’s wrong with programs that promise you sex with high numbers of beautiful women. We tell the truth about The Mystery Method, and call out all the rest on their bullshit. Tables are flipped on behalf of women everywhere when we take the infamous Kickstarter Rape-Manual to task for being the epitome of doucheness.
ALSO: I tell you how to actually hook up at a convention. One-night-stands are a rite of passage, and as long as everyone knows what they’re getting, can be fun and enjoyable for all involved.
Do you come here often? 😉
