It’s Going To Be A New Year, Get Some New Tricks.
The world of modern love can be super confusing…
With terms like catfishing and benching being thrown around, it’s hard to know what to expect when meeting someone for a drink or having a casual hook-up.
And if you’re meeting any of your dates online, there are words people throw around in their profiles that don’t make a lot of sense, unless you have your PhD in dating…
One of my close guy friends had just gotten out of a relationship and was dipping his toe back in the waters of dating. He said he thought he was wading in a kiddie pool, but it turned out he got hit by a tsunami of recent dating phenomena…
That’s why, as we approach the end of the (crazy!) year, I wanted to do a deep dive on all the most recent dating trends.
Sure, you know ghosting and gaslighting, but if you aren’t sure what’s so great about cuffing season, whether you want to date a white claw, and if being called a flashpanner is good or bad… you probably need to read on…
1) Cuffing Season
Cuffing season has been around for a while and you’ve probably heard this term as winter begins to approach.
This is the time when singles are on the prowl for partners to cuddle up with till around Valentine’s Day. It makes it easier than going outside in the cold air.
Who doesn’t want a buddy to share lazy snowy Sunday stay-in-bed mornings with…
Experts believe that people during the colder months actually crave the ‘warmth’ of a relationship, which is what makes this time of year perfect for snagging a hottie to share your sheets with.
And this is good news, because since women (especially) are looking to pair off, they’re moving more quickly into the bedroom, and are less likely to play games.
2) Beard-Baiting
Ladies love a thick and luscious beard on their men and it seems that men have finally figured this out.
As a trick, men are now practicing beard-baiting, which is the act of growing out their facial hair in order to attract women. As you scroll through your social media and dating app accounts, you’ll notice a lot of the guys are posting pics of their hairy faces.
Now you know why.
It’s become especially popular as men are quarantining, and feel free to grow out their facial hair when they don’t have to go into an office every day.
As a woman, I don’t like to think we are that easily won over…but, a sexy beard definitely makes it hard to say ‘no.’
Just something for you to think about…
3) Yellow Carding
Yellow Carding is a term taken from sports.
It’s basically when you call out a date for doing something bad. This can be a behavior or an action or it can be simply calling out a viewpoint that you oppose. Basically, you are giving them a straightforward penalty.
If you do this, get ready for the date to go downhill…
4) Dial-Toning
Dial-toning is when numbers are exchanged, one person reaches out, and the other person never responds.
This can happen for a number of reasons such as the loss of interest or getting involved with someone new. No matter the reason, if this happens to you, don’t waste your energy tirelessly calling this Houdini, find someone new to dial.
It’s like an early cousin to ghosting…
5) White Clawing
There will always be those people who you find so steaming hot, but are extremely dull in every other way.
However, you stay with them because, god damn, they’re so hot!
This is called white clawing because just like the hard seltzer they are boring and basic.
6) Fleabagging
Fleabagging is the act of always dating the same type of person. The wrong person.
If you find yourself constantly falling for the bad girl bartender and getting heartbroken, take note that you are fleabagging yourself and try dating someone a little more wholesome… or at least different…
A bad girl waitress? Lol…
7) Whelming
Dating online and via apps can be totally overwhelming but that’s no reason to take it out on the matches that you actually want to create a connection with.
Whelming is the act of complaining about your other matches to a potential interest.
The goal of chatting with someone online is to develop a connection by making them feel special. They don’t want to hear about your other conversations, so keep them to yourself.

8) Glamboozled
Looking your best on a date is important. But, have you ever gotten showered and shaved and into your best suit only to be stood up?
That’s called being glamboozled and it sucks. Do this to a woman and you’ll probably lose your chance of seeing her again.
9) Virtual One-Night-Stand
Due to the pandemic, virtual one-night-stands have been at an all-time-high.
In order for people to get their rocks off via hook-up, video chats are now being used for some naughty deeds…BUT, only for one night. It’s a fun (and hotter) version of speed dating…
10) Jekylling
Everyone knows the story of the Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson and that’s exactly where the dating term jekylling came from.
Jekylling is essentially when a person has two different sides. The first side can be super sweet, caring, and kind, but then another one that is the total opposite reveals itself.
Beware of these people… their true personality is ALWAYS closer to the nasty side…
11) Kanye’d
Have you ever been Kanye’d?
This is when you go on a date with someone only to have them talk about themselves the entire time.
Can you say narcissist? You will never be able to get a word out about yourself.
12) Flashpanning
Someone who is a flashpanner lives for the excitement of the honeymoon stage of a relationship.
They love the fiery makeouts, the intense sex, and the stimulating conversation, and flirty vibes.
But, when things start to get cool and you begin to get familiar with each other, they tend to back-off and disappear.
This isn’t always a bad thing… in fact, it can be exciting and hot. It’s just good to know what you’re getting into, before you fall for a flashpanner and get hurt.
Conversely, if you realize this is true about yourself, be upfront about it with women. If you say you like to flame fast and hot and move on, many women take this as a challenge… and then they can’t get mad at you when you move on…
13) Type-Casting
Yes, there are still people who date people based off of their astrology signs. This is called type-casting. And, it doesn’t end there…
People who only date based on something like an astrology sign, a hair color, a Myers-Briggs personality test, or whatever, is a total type-caster and is consciously limiting their dating options.
The good news is, if you play a type-caster right, you can definitely get her to go against type. (Here’s how.)

14) Eclipsing
According to a recent study 48%of people who date have experienced dating someone who adopted the same exact interests as them. In addition, 45% of singles admitted to doing this, themselves. This is called eclipsing.
There is no shame in trying a new hobby because a partner has an interest in it, but try to refrain from eclipsing. Stay true to who you are.
Similarly, if you’re dating someone who takes on all your likes, be wary. While some women truly love football and hot wings, if she’s just pretending and never does anything with you she likes, she’ll eventually snap and leave…
15) Obligaswiping
App dating is not for everyone, however, a lot of people are pressured to keep swiping away and tiring our thumbs to show that we are “trying” to find “the one.”
This is called obligaswiping and it’s totally not helping your dating life.
If apps aren’t for you, try something different. Don’t feel the need to keep those apps active.
16) Dogfishing
There is no denying that a dog is total tail-bait. Women love guys with dogs. It shows that they are responsible, kind, and care about companionship.
However, some guys will go out of their way and dogfish a potential interest by lying about having a furry friend.
Be wary of doing this, because unless you’re looking for a one-night-stand, a relationship based on a lie will not go far.
17) Flatlining
If you haven’t been flatlined, then you obviously haven’t been actively dating or talking to potential interests.
Flatling is when you are struggling to keep the conversation alive and the other person isn’t putting in any effort.
How many times can you ask, “how was your day?” and get the same short answer without anything to go off of? Flatlining gets real old real fast.
It’s also a good sign that this is going nowhere. So unless she’s extremely hot and you (again) are just looking for a one-time hook-up, move along…
18) Breadcrumbing
Breadcrumbing is basically the equivalent of stringing someone along. It’s when a potential partner reaches out here-and-there to keep you interested in them.
They can do this via text, social media, or calling.
Basically, these people are trying to keep their options open without committing to you or giving you the time you deserve.
Ignore them and move on.
19) Cause-Playing
Cause-playing happens with casual relationships. It is when casual relationships fizzle out but one of the parties of the relationship reaches out to the other after the fact.
The reach-out is usually to support a good cause such as a fundraiser or event.
Do not take cause-playing as an attempt for them to get back into your circle. It’s an attempt to get you to sponsor their jog-a-thon. Move on.
20) Exoskeleton-ing
This is one of the worst, most uncomfortable, things to happen, especially in a new relationship.
Exoskeleton-ing is when an ex of your partner reaches out to you “to talk” or “warn you” about your partner.
This happens most often via social media, but phone calls and texts happen as well, if the ex can get a hold of your number.
The best thing to do in this situation is be calm and polite and then let your new love interest know what happened.
21) “Lizard-Braining”:
The last trend is new and based on cutting edge psych research.
It’s to do with creating powerful sexual attraction by working on a woman’s emotional “lizard brain”… and bypassing her everyday, intellectual “logical brain.”
You see, essentially we all have lizard brains.
It’s the part of our brains that just acts based on our primal needs,instincts, and desires.
And the quickest and easiest way to do it… is to follow these 3 very easy steps right here.
Follow them step-by-step… and you’ll be able to get right past that part of her brain that says “It’s too early to sleep with him”… “I’m a ‘good girl’”… or even “He’s too ________” (insert made up rule lol)… and work directly on her emotional brain…
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told a guy I’m not sleeping with him tonight, despite me aching for some action that night.
If you can get through a woman’s logical brain, and tap into her emotional brain she will DESPERATELY want to sleep with you.
She literally won’t be able to help herself!
Here’s a short, free video showing you how Lizard-braining works to get a hot girl to come home with you the first night you meet her:
