Ah.
Guess I should’ve realized you were bit-ing us.
…and you’re probably right about most comics bitching and not having any cash. I can’t help but feel like I need to defend my people… but it’s my day job that pays for dinner.
Thanks for getting back to us.
Please continue reading our opinions,
and contributing your own as well.

@ John, chill. It was a joke. I make those sometimes. I didn’t say all male comedians treat women like crap, make them pay, and then make them sit there while the hooker is called and they pay for that too.
@ Kendra, I am on your page. I want a guy who fixes motorbikes. That way he can support my ambition and drive me in style to my gigs. If anyone gets out of hand, perhaps he can knock out that heckler. But listening to a male comedian bitch about this business is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. It’s annoying. Especially since I do enough bitching of my own.

Debbie… that’s freakin’ weird, but it’s true. Men like being comfortable when at home. Whenever someone stops by my place I warn them to give me a few minutes to put on pants.
…but I’m single and have that freedom. When involving someone else in your life you sometimes need to consider their likes and interests. My advice – Find someone with the same “At Home Dress Code.”

Great stuff Eric. Totally true.
I got an Arbor t-shirt at Ron Jon’s in Cocoa beach. It’s made of bamboo, and it’s so damn comfortable that I went online and bought 3 more. I’d wear those every day (unless by chance I see the same girl two days in a row!)

Awesome topic. Men have a hard time changing anything in life if We are in the “Comfort Zone”
The “Comfort Zone” These are the pair of jeans that are tattered and torn,playing peek a boo with your nut sac or the shoes that have the sole blown out which reek of raw sewer and forgotten luncheon meat.= Comfort Clothes!!
Most of us have no fashion sense what so ever.If you think about it we had a choice between Mork,Don Knots,and the Fonz.
My fashion sense came from three older brothers hand me downs,a mother who went clothes shopping at the grocery store and anything that didn’t smell like mold. I’m sure that if the TuffSkin Co. had an underwear or Dickie line my ass would have been sporting it.
Buy Him New clothes and throw His old shit in a bag… He will wear it because men don’t care.. If we are not sure about it we will ask a friend if it looks gay or not.(We already know the answer to this we just want someone to confirm it)

Most older men want to keep their younger girlfriends happy. Just don’t turn him into a hipster.Nobody likes those… Then again if you Lose Him Kendra may have a Spare… : )

Hey April
thanks for reading! I agree. Sometimes you have to wait on the other guy. Take some time to see if he’s in a position to reveal about himself before showing all your cards. As far as dating a comic, Jesus! I’m sick of listening to myself bitch about this “business” or should I say “hobby”, never mind listening to a dude gripe about it. I’m getting more and more attracted to the quiet guys with isolating hobbies. Like fixing old motorcycles, once I week I get gussied up and sashay over to his garage, summon him out for a night of lovin’ then we both return to our corners.
thanks for the comment
Kendra

Thanks for the comment, April.
… but… what?!

You did preface it with your disclosure problem which was helpful in digesting your opinion… but what are you addressing here? I think you may have been reading one of our previous blogs, maybe “How much Should you Reveal on a Date.”

… and what does that have to do with dating male comedians? If you’re implying that a male comic would take you to a drive-thru, that’s ridiculous because most comics (in Manhattan at least) don’t have a car. If you’re implying that we don’t have any money, you’re over-generalizing… some of us have very lucrative jobs outside of comedy and know how to treat a woman right.

Rant to your psychiatrist next time.
He’s probably much more supportive of your random (and nonsensical) musings. Have a safe trip.

Saw this as I was surfing various comedy pages in my packing frenzy before going on a family trip and thought I would weigh in.

In the past I have admitted to being the Queen of Too Much Information, disclosing things I should not. A lot of it was because I was coming out of a hellacious patch of my life (ex stalking me, periodically harassing men I dated. Fun times). I also detested the double standard where there was one set of rules for men and another for women. While some guys found my wild tales amusing, truth was, they repulsed the guys worth something. Those who found some of my anecdotes amazing and funny knew that Camp Hill had the best meatloaf. Tells you something right there.

That being said, if one wants to get respect they must demand respect. Yes, while being honest is wonderful, someone has to earn the right to know you-because they could use that info against you.

Now that being said, when going out with someone, let them talk about themselves. See what they are like as a person. See if they pick up the check at the end of the night. And see if they earn the right to your stories about the married dude who tried to seduce you in the steam room when you were eighteen, or the tryst at the vampire sex party. Whatever they may be. Or maybe just keep those in the past where they belong. Either way, before you make the decision, see if he at least offers to get the check. That is, if he didn’t take you to an eatery with a drive through.

Which brings me to another topic, never date male comedians. Sigh, that is for another blog. To be continued….

Love, April
