Ask A Woman: Should I Write Her A Song?

Dear Bro Council Women, I can play a little bit of the guitar and I'm trying to impress this girl I want to date. We're going to be at the same party this week, and I may have the opportunity to break out the guitar and sing her something. If I write her a song is that weird or romantic? We've known each other for almost a year, but we have never dated. Thank you! Elijah Dear Elijah, If it’s a gathering where it seems socially acceptable to bust out your guitar and start singing, by all means, go for it. However, while you’re sharing your talents, please make sure it’s in a communal space where anyone can enjoy it. From your letter,... Read More

The infamous "jerk" stole my girl from under my nose. I've contemplated simply giving him a beatdown, but I'd like to walk away from this with my girl and not a lawsuit. What ways can this be done? -Danny Emily's Take: From my experience, there are two people in every relationship. A woman cannot be stolen away from you, her heart had to be open to that opportunity (unless of course she has been kidnapped and then I suggest calling the police.) I think that my first assumption was correct and that she was open to the opportunity to date other people and you should just walk away. You shouldn't stay with... Read More

Dear Rachel, How do we know you and the "Ask a Woman" people are real? You are probably just some fictional character that these guys created to get hits. Prove that you are a real female. - Tony Rachel's Take: Dear Tony, How does one go about proving one's own existence? How do I know that you, Tony, are a real person? In fact, what is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. Oops. I just quoted The Matrix. That probably doesn't help my case. Hmm...how to prove I'm a girl... Bro Council Presents: Top 10 Facts that... Read More

Dear Bro Council, Can commitment also scare women? I am 24, work for a successful touring band, and consider myself a stand up guy. This girl in particular comes to about a show a month, always gravitates towards me, and compliments me with the nicest genuine thoughts. After 6 months of this pattern I decided to take her out to find out for sure. First date was a rock show. We enjoyed the night, talked, and danced. We mutually made a connection that wasn't based on sex. Her birthday came up a week later, so I contacted her to wish her a happy birthday and received no response. Which I found to be confusing and disappointing. Erin's... Read More

What is the official Bro Council stance on a man being a “Metrosexual”? 1. A man concerned with personal appearance, such as personal grooming, fashion, and aestheticsin general; who may or may not be concerned with self-indulgence and money. Perhaps this should go to Rachel. -Tim Dear Tim, Ray and I are both going to give some input on this one... It's not so much a rule as much as it just seems to happen this way, but a lot of women LOVE metrosexuals....as friends. It is entirely wonderful to have a competent and interested shopping partner, but there's also something extremely unnerving about dating a man who takes longer to get ready for our... Read More

So Rachel, since you're a girl what should I get my wife for our wedding anniversary? She's not big on jewelery and I got her perfume last year that's hardly been used. Any thoughts? thanks!
