Teachers

In this Super-Sized Episode, Sean returns to help me answer all the questions you sent in, fully, honestly, and to the best of our ability (except for one that was just too much work).

I watched over 72 hours of CNN coverage and shitty Netflix for no reason, #herbsaroundtheedges lives to see another day, despite a veggie-disaster, and Sean got an extra job and a wife. No big deal.

Tables are flipped in unison over the steaming pile of dog shit that was the How I Met Your Mother Series Finale. What a damn disaster.

You’ve got Qs? We’ve got As!

q-and-a
We’re still collecting questions for Episode 41’s Ask Us Anything edition of the podcast. These questions can be about dating and relationships, general information/opinions about geeky things, or just general queries.

Keep sending them in – Sean and I will have a lot of time to fill 🙂

Alpha Counter’s Sean Ryan braves “Snowmaggedon” to join me for this episode where we record against the odds and before the power goes out. We’re national heroes, really.

We discuss surviving being single – especially during this romantic time of year, reveal our ignorance about Americanized Mexican Holidays, and discuss some of the overlooked benefits to being single.

There’s a new segment called, “You Ain’t Gonna Believe This Shit – the Kelley Hightower Story,” where I discuss the weird shit that happens to me because of reasons – often it’ll be about dating.

We discuss the dangers of going too far with virtual relationships, I reveal my embarrassing affair with an AppleCareBot, and when the tables get flipped this episode, they’re all sports-related.

So, pull your drowning pony out of that sinking Swamp of Sadness, and ride off into this Neverending Story of dating!*

*See what I did there? You’re welcome.

Gobble Gobble, Y’all! It’s Thanksgiving!

Sean shares his famous cranberry sauce recipe that he may or may not have come from Adam Corolla, and it’s raining monkeys when I play Assassin’s Creed IV.

I give you the first installment of Dating Horror Story: Online Dating where I share some scary online dating stories that have been happening to me recently, and we discuss Wingmen, and why you may want one to help you meet new people – or you may want to share your confidence and BECOME THE BEST WINGMAN EVER.

Sometimes, there’s no better safety net than a “Conversation Buddy” to help talk you up to potential love interests.

We flip the kids’ table at your family’s Thanksgiving dinner over retail establishments staying open over the holidays; Sean’s multiple doppelgangers getting him into sticky situations, and the best $1 Million-dollar idea that Sean has ever had.

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 😉

Here are some helpful links to check out while you’re listening:

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? 😉

Ep.23 – Hints and the Friend Zone: What You’re Probably Missing.

In this episode, Sean Ryan and I discuss several different hints, clues, and tells for determining if that special someone you have your eye on may feel the same about you…or whether it’s time to stop bothering them.

We explore the less-than-erogenous zone that is the Friend Zone, and why to women, Friendship is Magic while men avoid it like the plague.

“Everything’s Coming Up Milhouse” in Shipper Wars, and in this episode’s Flipping Tables, Sean flips the equivalent of a TV tray over Facebook game invites, and I flip a table of buffet proportions over the “butthurt internet” and why I don’t care about your opinions about my opinions.

This is the second episode in Cycle 5, and as Sean pointed out, MHMG comes out in cycles because “Kelley’s podcast is so sexual, it menstruates.” You’re welcome.

Paris and William help me reminisce about our time at the Mating Habits of the Modern Otaku panel this past Animazement 2013. William helped Alpha Counter’s Sean Ryan and me host the panel, while Paris circulated among the crowd and took questions for the Q&A segment. Also, we’ve included the audio from the actual panel! Listen to all of the great questions we got from the audience, and check out the video at our new YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MatingHabitsVideo
