Here is some simple, practical advice for you dudes when you're out doing your thing. I just posted this response to some other poor fuck, and thought you all might find it useful.

I learned some rough lessons the hard way when I was single; it's none too fun to have a girl you hooked up with one fucking time show up at your place randomly (because she's in love or some shit) when you're there with some other girl named Tiffany. It's a bit awkward, and just doesn't turn out like porn would have you believe. Also, angry women will do crazy shit like key your cars (or Tiffany's) or throw bricks at your apartment.

To avoid these unfortunate incidents, I recommend the following.

  1. Get a burner phone. This is the phone you use for hook ups. Never give a hook up your real phone number.

  2. Give only your first name. Don't reveal enough about yourself such that she can find you. Ideally, you'd get rid of social media entirely, but that's hard to do these days.

  3. Never go to your place. Either go to hers, or go to a hotel.

  4. After the hook up, call once, exactly once, and be nice. Tell her you had a good time. If you're worried about her feelings, you can make up some bullshit about having to leave for work, or being in a relationship or something similar. Honestly, though, most girls know the deal. Regardless, once you've done this, delete her number and block it.

  5. Never introduce hook ups to your friends or social circle. Remember, leave no path for her to find you again.

These rules will help keep your life relatively drama free as you are out practicing your craft.
