Easily lured in by the possibility that girls are not the only ones who get sappy and depressed about being alone at Christmas, I bit. Arguably, the advice was pretty good whether you are a guy or girl--things like snagging some extra shifts at work to take advantage of the overtime cash or making a holiday resolution that you can reach before New Years. But what really struck me was number 8...
Be a dietary radical
Reject it all. Actively rebel. Yes, this is a direct suggestion: Go on a diet. This doesn’t mean you should picket eggnog. Rather, it means rejecting much of the crap that pops up in pounds around the holiday season. If this is too drastic for you, at the very least, consider eating in moderation. This is an important holiday survival tip for the single guy; nothing will contribute to feeling lonely or depressed like gaining weight and losing self-esteem.
Thank goodness for websites and magazines that are working to level out the standards of beauty for men and women. If I'm going to starve and sweat myself into the perfect girlfriend, so must the lucky schmuck who will finally land me.
