New Charm School for Guys

So Producer Nikki suggested I start a "Charm School" for guys.

She suggested this not because I am particularly qualified.  She suggested this because she wants to use the show to straighten guys out about a few things.  I think there was latent anger at work in this suggestion. 

But she's the producer.  And, as you can see at left, I have tremendous influence with listener-guys like Dan.  Note how he willingly goes along with my cheesy "thumbs-up" sign.

So, we give you, "The Apparently, This is What You're Supposed to Do" Charm School for Guys.  Nikki wants me to take suggestions from women for lessons I can give.

She's the producer.  So email her at nikki@wayfm.com.  Tell her your story and why, apparently, some guys don't know how they're supposed to act.

Nikki assures me it's not male-bashing, it's "male-helping".

And my suggestion would be for Nikki, or for that matter, a woman older who has the experience, to teach women how to be women.

I mean lets face it, we live in one of the riches communities in the U.S.. So for all you "Christian ladies," who are looking for that perfect, godly, Mercedes driving man "after God's own heart" self examination is a great start.

Guys have the exact same problems with having to screen through many people as girls do folks so keep that in mind.

In fact I don't think Brant's "1 hour," is really workable since certain internet "matching" sites that match you with you "capadable soul-mate," don't work either.

Perhaps it might depend on the relative wisdom involved?

If the One Hour Interviewer is a fool, while the emailing prospective wife is wise, I would recommend skipping the interview.

However, an hour of interviewing by a wise man (and perhaps I'm not it) might be quite beneficial to a woman who may have learned she is too implicity trusting, or who necessarily does not understand the ways men manipulate, or who just appreciates the value of wise counsel.

There's a lot to be said for wise counsel.

If you would like my wife (a wise woman, as you know) to interview a prospective wife, Shawn, I think it would be helpful as well.

That said, women and men are vastly different, and have vastly different issues related to trust, dependence, and emotions. But you knew that.

One might also presume, then, they may benefit from different ways of checking themselves and their motives in something as complex as relationships. I do not expect, frankly, that guys have the "exact same problems" in this area as women, though I know they have some analogous ones.

I don't know what you guys are talking about because I read this in such a hurry, but that's a picture with me in it!
=D

I was at church last night and my friend said, "Hey! Check out Brant's Blog Of Awesomeness. You're on it!"

Yay!

This sounds great to me. It's easier for one guy to tell another "what they're supposed to do." The same goes for women. Especially since the standards of our society have confused so many of us as to what we're supposed to do exactly. The importance of wise counsel cannot be stressed enough. There is so much we can learn from those who have had experience with life that we have not. Kudos to you! :)
