Boyfriend Seminar

To the guys:

What is it about girls, dating, girlfriends, or anything else related to being a boyfriend that you have questions about?

To the girls:

What are a few things that you wish the guys you're dating knew?

1. I think a relationship seminar makes more sense than a boyfriend seminar. I know you're basing it off of a book but a general message might be better than just pinpointing the guys.

Maybe some stuff about how respecting and loving yourself better allows you to respect and love someone else. Stuff about balancing a relationship with being a college student. Communication, dating on a budget, and stuff like that.

2. Geesh...as an undergrad, what was my take on relationships? I don't remember. I know it was nothing like it is now. So I won't impose my viewpoints of relationships on a group of 18-22 yr olds.

Are you guys even qualified to do something like this?

If I were a student on your campus and needed boyfriend/relationship advice, I'd seek a professional, sorry.

Just because you have a book doesn't necessarily = expert.

we're girls and we know what we like in boyfriends. i think that qualifies us. i must have missed the place where i claimed to have a PhD in psychology.

That's right, you don't.

I just find it hard to believe how anyone would want to take relationship advice from a bunch of young college girls just because they read a book and they think they know what they want in boyfriends.

Oh yeah. I'm sure people will be signing up by the boatloads.

You're sponsoring a program, though.

Are you all going to have a panel or will it be a free-for-all discussion of relationships?

If you're having structure like a panel, then you will need more than some book to get people to care.

If it's a free-for-all, why should anyone attend your program if they can get the book on their own and talk to their friends about it?

I'm a girl and I know stupid when I see it, so you should just give up now.

This thread reminds me of that episode of Beverly Hills 90210 where Steve runs that seminar at the After Dark teaching guys how to pick up chicks. Each participant had to put up $250 to take the course. The guys eventually sued because none of Steve's tips actually worked...with the exception of David, of course. He met a nice girl using Steve's pick up lines, but he eventually got dumped when Steve's court case appeared on TV via a Peoples' Court-like show and the chick found out, only she wasn't being played and David really liked her.
