Last night while most ladies dreamt about their boos tucking a Whitman?s sampler underneath their pillows, most guys went to bed with the Oscars? In Memoriam music playing in their head as they thought about the soon-to-be-depleted funds from their checking account thanks to Valentine?s Day. Luckily for MTV2, the cast of Guy Code, which airs Tuesdays at 11 p.m., aren?t most guys. Comedians Damien Lemon, Jordan Carlos, and Jermaine Fowler didn?t spend yesterday fretting about money; instead, they served up two scoops of truth regarding love, sex, and relationships that they would like all women to put into a glass of water a la Metamucil and drink up. Some of the advice was funny, some of it was raw, but all of it was enlightening about what guys think. But before we get to the juicy stuff, let?s meet the cast...
Damien Lemon
Relationship Status: In a relationship
Longest Relationship I?ve Been In: This one right now; 8 years.
Jermaine Fowler
Relationship Status: Single
Longest Relationship I?ve Been In: 3 years.
Jordan Carlos
Relationship Status: Wife?d Up
Longest Relationship I?ve Been In: 5 years.
Valentine?s Day is tomorrow. Any plans?
Lemon: I don?t celebrate Valentine?s Day. It gets in the way of Black History Month. Cupid didn?t free any slaves. [Laughter]
Fowler: I?m going to do two comedy shows and go home.
Carlos: I?ll do what I?ve done for many years, which is make a nice dinner for my wife and I.
Sounds good. So, let's get started. What do you think is the biggest mistake that women make when dating?
Lemon: They try to make it into something it?s not and don?t recognize the signs. Like if you?re looking for a relationship, you have to go off what the dude does and not what he says. So, if the dude tells you, ?Listen, I?m into you,? but every time you see him, he?s hollering at other chicks or he?s constantly sending you to voicemail when you call, you?re not a priority.
Carlos: Women get too excited in the beginning. After the initial meeting and exchanging of numbers, their minds take that ball and run with it. So calm down and see where it goes.
Fowler: Rush the relationship. I remember telling this one girl, ?I?m interested in you.? She goes, ?Well, tomorrow is my mom?s birthday, so it would be a good time to start dating.? But we rushed and it didn?t work because we didn?t get to know each other too well.
Lemon: But you know her mom?s birthday. [Laughter]
So what are some signs of a hookup and signs of a potential relationship?
Fowler: Women talk about the importance of texting a lot. For example, a guy taking two days to text you back doesn?t mean he doesn?t like you. Sometimes he?s nervous and doesn?t know what to say. But if he only sends you a ?What you doing?? text at night, then you?re a hookup.
Carlos: I want all the women readers to know this: He might not text back right away because he?s busy, but you may take it as a diss. Look, life isn?t a romantic comedy where things happen in a certain way. And I think if women stopped thinking that guys think like them, they might have an easier time dating.
Lemon: I always say this: If you a dude texts you after 2 a.m. and you reply, then you will never get called at 8 p.m. He won?t take you serious.
With things like texting and the internet, relationship books like The Gaggle are saying that ?traditional dating??asking a woman out on a date, getting to know each other before sleeping together, then meeting the parents?is dead. You agree?
Fowler: Nope. I took my ex-girlfriend out on traditional dates. Traditional dating is the only kind of dating.
Lemon: Women bought into the idea that they can?t get a man, so by doing that, they?re going to respond to any male attention and maybe compromise their values because they think this is only opportunity they have and that?s how they don?t have ?traditional? dates. Like a guy will say, ?Meet me at my crib, I have Django on bootleg...?
Fowler: And those women thought that was a date and it wasn?t. Look, don?t read these relationship advice books. Just go out and date via trial and error.
Carlos: Traditional dating isn?t over. You go to a bar or a party and you start talking to someone and it goes from there. That?s never going to change.
Another dating book, Steve Harvey?s Think Like a Man, says there should be a 90-day rule before a woman allows a man to sleep with her. Does it really matter when sex happens?
Fowler: No. All my ex-girlfriends started out as one night stands.
Carlos: Yeah, Steve, let?s make more rules so dating is harder than it has to be. 90 days?! That?s most sentences if you commit a small, petty crime. Who would want to put themselves through that?
Lemon: Look, this rule is silly. If you are a victim of a one night stand, you?re choosing to be a victim. It takes two people to have sex.
Carlos: Sometimes it?s three people.
Fowler: True. So in that case, one person in the threesome is allowed to feel like crap. [Laughter]
One more thing about relationship books. Loads of them discuss the pros and cons of having friends of the opposite sex when dating your significant other. Thoughts?
Fowler: My ex-girlfriend had some guy friends and I had to get used to it. But it stopped bothering me once I got more confidence because things started happening in my career. Because she knows who?s a better catch between me and those guys. [Laughter]
Carlos: Guys, don?t follow your ladies around in a hoodie, but know that sometimes women enjoy a guy being honest and expressing a little jealousy. But as far as friendships, I wouldn?t tell my wife to go out of her way to make a new guy friend and vice versa.
Lemon: It also depends on how I met you. If you had a man when I was your friend and then we started hooking up and you broke up with your boyfriend, so now we?re together and you have a new male friend? I?m going to look at you sideways because your character?s horrible and now I?m thinking you?re going to do to me what you did to your ex. [Laughter]
Let?s get serious for a second. What is the biggest love lesson you?ve learned thus far?
Lemon: Being in a relationship will show you how selfish you really are. You?ll have to learn how to consider other people.
Carlos: You can sleep walk through a relationship, but you?ll turn around one day and and yourself dumped. So make the effort and know that you will be loved because you tried.
Fowler: What I?ve learned is that love is made up of three ingredients: consideration, spontaneity, and [whispers] oral sex for guys and women.
Carlos: What was the last one? Coriander? [Laughter]
Final thoughts on love, sex, and relationships?
Carlos: Love is to be cherished because you?re lucky to feel it even once in your life.
Fowler: Make love not sex.
Lemon: Don?t stress it, enjoy it all, and be present.
