Ever since my friends told me I date “like a man,” I’ve been trying to understand what that means. Did it mean I was more assertive? That I could sleep with someone and not let my emotions overcome me? That I could approach men at parties and walk away with a number? I wasn’t sure. Thankfully, a new website, The Man’s Guide to Love, came along and gave me some inside perspective on what men think about love. What did I find? Men are like snowflakes; none of them are like the other. So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite good, bad and interesting video interviews from The Man’s Guide to Love. There are 11 video clips, but they’re all short (less than 60 seconds long).

The good:

Bob, 41, uses a fun metaphor about individuality: “Every pot has its cover … just be yourself and someone will gravitate towards you. It’s weird, but it works.”

The minute Christo, 31, spoke I knew he was a kindred spirit. He’s what I call a happy realist: “Do what you love and love will come to you … I’m a pretty happy guy, I like what I do and I’ve loved a lot of people. Some of them loved me back. I guess that’s the way to live.”

Tom, 26, is at the stage of life I’m at now, having just got out of a long-term relationship. And like me, he’s optimistic: “That might be the best act of love, is leaving someone,” he says. What makes his perspective unique is that he has no regrets: “Life is an experiment … I’m still in the learning process,” he says, “That’s the best you can do.”

Morgan, 36, isn’t saying anything new: The honeymoon phase doesn’t last / commit to that person / grow with that person. But the way he says it makes me believe he actually knows what he’s talking about. I could listen to this guy read from a cereal box:

The bad:

For some reason, they posted THIS video interview with Ed, 60, as their first interview. His advice? “If you want to make it work out, keep your distance.” And he means it: His wife lives in Canada and he lives in the U.S. Sounds like a wonderfully close relationship to me. Even the interviewer laughed.

Uh, Sean? You think it’s a good idea to forget your girlfriend’s birthday and leave her alone at the bus stop at 1:00 a.m.? I’d be livid too. No wonder this goofball ended up on the website’s “Hall of Fame.” More like Hall of Shame.

Rodney, Taj and Hakim, all 17 years old, are already developing a fear of falling in love because they’ve been burnt by love before. Don’t succumb to the fear, guys! Please don’t!

The interesting:

Josh’s advice? Let the girl chase you, then make her some matzo ball soup.

Richard (age undisclosed!) starts spouting Shakespeare, then gives us a fun story about seeing his soul mate across the room. Hey, at least Richard gives this website some diversity (his soul mate is a man). In a site that feels oddly white-washed and homogenous, this is a refreshing perspective, even if it is delivered theatrically.

David, 45, is the only other openly gay interviewee. His interview cracks me up: “Stick with the devil you know,” he says, “Because they’re all devils.”

Jay, 65, says the right thing but why does his wife look like she wants to get out of there the second the cameras stop rolling? The body language between these two is just…odd.
