New club, new weekend, new women. That was the aim anyways. So how did I do? well I went to this club called Mamilanji this weekend. I heard the hype, very nice decor, Prince Harry hangs out there and expensive. So what's the verdict?

Well you'll be happy to know that it's all of them, Prince Harry wasn't there though but he said he'd call me out next time.

Now it's been a while since I went to clubs like these and being there really gave me a strange nostalgia but also an insightful experience. So what did I learn people? Some rich folks can be complete w*nkers and some women really are only there for one thing... sorry guys it's not sex its money.

I met this fashion designer who goes "yes, I want YOU to model my clothes, you have that look I want..." I was very flattered and I sat down with some girls I just met and say "wow that was a bit weird, she just asked me to be a model for her".

Her reply? "omg really... I really want to be a model too, do you think she would ask me to be one too?" - She was being deadly serious... I didn't know how to respond but did the best enthusiastic reaction I could "Oh maybe! I'll speak to her and see what I can do to help".

What's the advice? If you have a lot of money to spend and you want girls jumping all around you for a bit of your dosh, then this place has it.

My mate Carlos, just recently bought an iPhone and he's been preaching about it ever since. Well I have news for Carlos, the iPhone is outta here.

Sure it's got a new software upgrade to 3.0, that enables copy and paste (old news), MMS (what phone can't?) and some other fabulous features that are just rehashed elements from other phones.

iPhone it's time to get that retirement fund, cause there's a new guy in town. Sleeker, compact and has plenty to shout about. Let me introduce the Palm Pre. Ever used a touch screen and thought, if only I had a proper keyboard, Palm Pre has it. If only I could check all my emails at the same time from different accounts, Palm Pre has it. And you know what would be great? that I could change the battery, Palm... well you know the rest.

I'm not one to praise a product but the Palm Pre really seems to be stuff dreams are made of. What's Apple's response? Supposedly there's going to be an iPhone nano... that's the answer let's make it even smaller so squirrels can use them *groan*.

I was watching this comedian Russel Peters who's quite famous now especially in the asian, chinese - more ethnic orientated circles. Anyways, I was watching his latest comedy stand up show and he told this great story about the difference between men and women.

And it came down to this:
A woman always wants a man to be honest but when a man tells the truth it always ends up in an arguement. Here's an example:

So you and your gf are sitting next to each just chilling out...
woman: What you thinking?
man: um.. Nothing
woman: well you must be thinking something, you can't just be thinking nothing
man: er no, nothing
woman: go on, tell me, I want to know what you were thinking
man: seriously... I wasn't thinking anything
woman: I don't understand why you won't tell me, it's not like it's a big deal
*At this point, both the bf and gf are getting agitated with each other*
man: look I really wasn't thinking anything! what's wrong with you?
woman: yeh whatever, I bet you're thinking about something you don't wanna tell me, keeping secrets from me again!
*Full blown arguement erupts*

Moral of the story? Next time a woman asks what you are thinking, lie.

White lies won't hurt her and it will save you time and agony. Spend the time more productively by caressing her arm, being close, and if you're really close, give her the odd kiss now and then. She'll appreciate it now and return the favour later in the bedroom.

Good luck with the tips.
Keep dating.

Now a few weeks ago I was invited to go to a speed dating event which I was a bit reluctant to go to, but a friend who i work with convinced me that it would be a good experience. I gotta say that chatting women up isn't really my forte, especially being out the game for a while.

I've got stuck into the " meet new people via friends" but honestly, there's only a certain amount of people ( in this case women) whom you'll actually meet and like. My friend has a lot of charm, he has this confidence to just go and chat to women, make them laugh etc. I needed some of that 'mojo'. I went and as nerve racking as it was, I learnt a lot.

1) Chatting to strangers isn't too difficult
2) Sustaining conversation IS difficult, especially when the other person isn't receptive.
3) It's good to try and be silly and find something to make a joke about

So after an eventful evening, I came out feeling better and my confidence topped up.

EDIT: A few days later I entered my scores into the speed dating database, and 11 out of 16 girls gave me a positive response to either date or be my friend. I must be doing something right, maybe I'm not so bad after all.
