Introducing Chick Decoder: Jess















It's not lesbian porn, but that title got your attention, didn't it?

Sigh.

Well, if Kat is the part of our fierce duo that makes sure you're wearing your big boy pants, I guess that makes me the one to wash, starch, dry, and give them back to you (after you inevitably soil them -- she's kinda scary).

I'm "the sugar to her spice," so to speak -- although from time to time, I can be a little fiesty (a friend once nicknamed me "medium salsa").

We have a lot of things in common (obviously, a love for PBR and fun ------>), including but not limited to both being 31 year old unmarried women who have seen it all when it comes to men, and women, and dating.

Ultimately, we'll probably often end up with the same advice, but the paths taken will be different. Kat will give it to you straight up and dirty -- she'll cut to the chase, take no prisoners, and put it all out there. Me? Well, I tend to take the road less travelled.. and while I'll never just tell ya what you want to hear, my delivery is perhaps a bit softer, and definitely more verbose.

One of the things I've come to love about being a self-sufficient and successful woman in my 30s is that my bullshit meter is pretty strong -- I know when guys are full of it (like Kat, every single person I work with is male, and I grew up with mostly men as besties). I know what I want, what I deserve, and I'm not afraid to ask for it (always with a smile). I also know GOOD guys and believe they do exist... I'm fortunate to be related to a few of them, have many wonderful male friends, and even dated one or two in my 31 years. Nothing drives me crazier than the women out there who give the rest of us women a bad name: dramatic, passive-aggressive, game-playing women that ruin things for the rest of us.

Hey ladies -- a tip... if you constantly have the same problems with men over and over again, it's time to dig a bit deeper and realize -- they aren't always the problem... it might be you.

After all, what do all these horrible men have in common?

That's right: YOU.

All of that said -- we're all human. And being human, whether male or female, is hard. Emotions are tough. Relationships are scary, and opening yourself up to the possibility of love is downright terrifying. At what point does "self-preservation" become "twisted head games"? At what point do we put down "He's Just Not That Into You" and "Why Men Love Bitches" and start just playing it from the heart? Doesn't all the self-help mumbo-jumbo just confuse things?

Yes. The tools designed to help us, more often than not, end up hurting because they confuse women into acting unnaturally. Men, I can help you figure out why your woman is acting like a lunatic and how you can put a stop to it.

Being a girl is confusing.

So is being a guy.

Lucky for you, Kat and I will help you sort it out. We're girls with enough "alpha female" characteristics to know the score and how to deliver it without crying. After all, there's no crying in baseball, right?

And remember -- it's alwasys happy hour in the chickadee lounge. So sit down, put your feet up... make yourself comfy and email us at chicksonchicks@gmail.com. Pour out your heart -- we'll pour a stiff drink and do our best to sort out your chick drama. We'd also love to hear your funny, zany, downright ridiculous dating stories.

With a lot of style, a hefty dose of humor, and always a cocktail,
~Jess
