Many men like to make excuses up as to why they have no dating life. One of those excuses is that they have no time. Yeah right… Whatever you say bucko.

Would you rather be out spending your time with a great woman? or…

Would you rather spend your time watching TV?

I can tell you that no woman will wait around for you, but the TV will.

Here are 7 things that will ruin your social life and some tips to fix them.

Time Waister #1: TV

TV is the ultimate time waister. It gets addicting and makes you lazy. Once you start watching it you could easily spend the whole day vegged out on the couch. TV also costs lots of money. Think about how all those commercials make you want to go out and buy stuff that you don’t even need.

The best way to fix the TV problem is to limit the number of shows that you watch. Have 1, 2, or 3 favorite shows and thats it. Stay away from the TV when those shows are not on. You could also try watching TV while you are on a treadmill to help multitask.

Time Waister #2: Email

People are waisting incredible amounts of time reading email. A recent report from here in Canada had employees reading email for 75 minutes a day at work. How do they get anything else done? They simply don’t.

Limit the amount of time you spend checking your email. This is why most people waist their time. Instead, of checking your email 5 times a day try checking it only once per day.

Time Waister #3: Social Networking Sites

Sites like Facebook and MySpace are really addicting. They are a great way to stay in touch with friends who are not close to where you live. Unfortunately, your entire social life could end up being in front of a computer only.

I would recommend that you log into your account a few times per week. If you get on these sites everyday it wont take long for you to spend hours on them.

Time Waister #4: Video Games

Women have this thing for video games. Its not usually a good thing. If they see a bunch of video games lying around it makes them think you lack ambition and have nothing else to do. Limit the amount of time you spend playing games to a few hours a week.

With that being said, you can use them to your advantage. If you can get her to play video games with you or have a video game party it can make a good social event. I also recommend you get a Wii. Women seem to love them once you get them playing.

Time Waister #5: Cell Phones

Everywhere you go people are talking on their cell phone and text messaging. It does make me wonder why? Are these calls that important? Are these text messages that important? Didn’t people use to function just fine without them? If you really need to talk to somebody couldn’t you just go see them?

Keep your cell phone for more important calls. You don’t need to talk to someday while your grocery shopping. You could of always had them grocery shop with you if you really want to talk to them. An even better option would be to flirt with some of the beautiful women at the grocery store.

Time Waister #6: Internet Surfing

The Internet is great for allot of different reasons. The key though, is to surf sites that are of interest to you the most. Its easy to get caught up checking out many sites that are useless. Stuff like porn, humor sites, and even YouTube can be a big time waister.

Conclusion

When it comes to managing time waister’s its really about putting limitations on them. I don’t think you need to do away with any of the things I listed. You just need to balance it out so that you have more time to meet women, go on dates, spend time with friends and family, and enjoy your hobbies.
