All of us Guys at the Guyspeak Worldwide Headquarters spend our days sifting through piles and piles of questions. We get questions of all types - profound, whimsical, serious, funny, complicated and clear - and we do our best to answer as many as we can.
But we are just human, after all, and so plenty of questions each week go unanswered. That's why, today, your friendly neighborhood Mystery Man has gone back through the past seven days of questions to find some that didn't get answered the first time. These questions may have too straight-forward to warrant an entire entry as a response, but today, straight-forward is the name of the game. I've taken the quickest questions you asked me and given them the quickest answers. So here we go, everyone. Enjoy!
The Mystery Man's Quick Answers For Quick Questions
What does a guy mean when he says "Damn, what I would do."
-It means that the guy wants you. The full phrase is "Damn, what I would do... if you were my girlfriend/wife/chick-in-my-bed." If he said that directly to you, it also means that he is very bold, and maybe a bit of a jackass.
Affairs... yr thoughts?
-If you are unhappy enough to have an affair, you are unhappy enough to get a divorce. Get a divorce, and then chase down strange men. Don't carry two guys at once. Cheating is poison for everyone involved.
Why are guys so interested in boobs?
-Boobs are fun to both look at and play with. Psychologists throughout history have noted that a fixation on boobs starts early, because babies associate seeing boobs with being fed and warm and happy. There's also the element of seeing boobs being forbidden and rare. It's not everyday men see boobs, and when they do, it usually means that sex is on the way.
Hey MM, Is it possible to have two secret lives?
-Isn't one secret life enough? Isn't zero secret lives enough? Unless you're a spy or working deep cover to infiltrate the mob, don't have a secret life. They get you in trouble, stress you out constantly, and are rarely worth it.
Why do men care mostly on appearance?
-Maybe the men you're hanging out with. Many guys are superficial, but not all guys. If every guy you have ever met is only interested in what women look like, you need a new group of friends.
What are the signs that he's going to propose?
-A new ring-shaped bulge in his pocket is probably the clearest sign. But some of the more common signs are if he's talking more about the future, saving more money, telling you how much he loves you (and your family), or noting how great you would be as a mother. If he's doing most of those things, wedding bells will likely be ringing soon.
Why is it truly such a turn off to order salad on a date? Does it make that big of a difference?
-It only makes a difference on sitcoms. In real life, men don't care what you order to eat, unless it's got a pile of garlic and onions on top of it. Get what you want at a restaurant. Guys don't care.

I have often joked on dates,"if you don't order garlic you're not going to like me much tonight." But in truth, I judge compatibility to a certain degree based on what he orders. I'm vegan and my mother is Mediterranean. Her joke is always "We eat so much garlic in this family we all smell like walking salamis." We don't, but its not too far off from the truth. The point is, if I go on a couple of dates with a guy and he seems to only order bland meat and potatoes, I get a little concerned and might suggest we do Indian or Mexican or something really flavorful next time to see how he likes that kind of food and honestly if he doesn't we're never going to work, cause I would have absolutely no idea how to cook for him as I almost never cook American food
On a humerous note, my current boyfriend was visiting with me and my family and my parents decided we should go to this kind of famous Lebanese restaurant that was nearly an hour away. When we got there my guy and I ordered falafel (he's vegitarian) but my Dad's shwarma came with the most delicious garlic sauce I had ever tasted, think aioli times 10. So i asked the waitress to bring some extra for us. My boyfriend ate a little of it, but I practically drowned my falafel in it. Needless to say I began regretting it on the hour drive home, because I could still taste the garlic in my mouth, and even after I brushed three times, and gargled listerine for much longer than is probably healthy, when I kissed my boyfriend he laughed and said I tasted like salami.
Your comment is funny. I am half Italian and I have to be careful with garlic. I permeate it, my husband would say to me when we would go to bed dracula won't get us tonight.
