Hello HC Readers,
My name is Blake Tan and I have been brought aboard the Her Campus Ohio University staff as an advice columnist. Perhaps you’re wondering what advice I could possibly give that would be of any use to you. I do not know anything useful about fashion, make-up, or diets (Nothing anybody would want to read about anyways.). However, what I can offer is insider secrets about one of the most esoteric subjects known (or should I say, unknown) to women: the male brain.
Maybe you’re of the opinion that the male brain is nothing complex or mysterious. That is why as my first point I’d like to address that popular misconception. There are men who may cause you to wonder if there is such a thing as a male brain. Allow me to assure you that beneath our (mostly) handsome, gruff exteriors, we are complex, layered creatures. To paraphrase a certain green ogre, men “are like onions.” Beneath these layers, we are as emotional as women (if not more so).
This does raise the question of why; why listen to anything I say? I will be the first person to admit that I am not an expert in male psychology nor am I some kind of guru handing down sage advice from a clouded throne. I am just a guy. But I am the guy who will always give you honest, upfront advice about my fellow man. As a member of the male gender, I can offer insight and guidance when you find yourself wondering what exactly makes us tick.
So, ask away! Whether it’s a question about how to best approach your boyfriend on his hygiene habits, how to tell a friend that you only wish to remain friends or anything that has to do with boys, I’m ready and willing to help.
