Enough with the insanity already, ditch the dork and get your groove back.

If your recent dating track record is pockmarked with rejects -- like the guy who referred to his car as "she" -- it's time to do something to give you back your groove. Leave the losers in the dust with the "get your game back" plan.

Man Fast
A reason you might not be finding "Mr. Right," (but Mr. Pompous, Mr. Broke and Mr. Boring are in abundance,) is because you're not giving yourself enough time between boyfriends. If your past few relationships have been major duds, go on a short man fast. Step away from the dating circus for a month or two and you'll get a little perspective.

Get Serious
Ever notice that it's so much easier to see the lame qualities about a guy once it's over? If you learned to see them before it even begins, you're going to save yourself a lot of lame months. Remember that new relationships -- even ones that eventually go down the tubes -- start with a high. In the beginning, the newness is always nice, so remember to look past the excitement. He might whisper sweet nothings in your ear, but is he rude to his mom and sister? There's a red flag right there.

Break the Cycle
Maybe you just keep falling in with the same loser-y guy because it's comfortable. A very quick way to break this cycle is to chat with the people who got it right. If your bestie's fiancé is amazing and successful, don't be afraid to ask for the hook up. It might not score you your own bling, but at least it'll certainly break the comfort cycle.

Hi Tyra! There are so many losers out there! I am one day older than you, Tyra, but I only seem to be attracting boring, 50-plus year old men who want to control me or want someone cute on their old arms! Yes, 50 is not old for a man, but it is too old for me! I want to get married and at 50, men only have a few good years left where it counts physically. I've been celibate for over a year, and when I'm not celibate, I want it all the time and it had better be good. That's why I want someone closer to my age. I don't like dating anyone under 28 because boys don't mature until that age and even then, 30 is better. Why don't there seem to be many real men out there? I don't care about race since Black women are mostly encouraged to Black men. Just love me and respect me and I will do the same for you.
 
i ve lost faith towards men... too many sweet lies and soft words,which taught me not to trust anyone but myself
 
Men need to stop wearing my pants and panties.
 
i simply love your show and i love your personality.your show has helpd me learn to be more stronger when it comes to the dating scene and other related issues thnks tyra.always love you.
 
Helo tyra! I'm from South Africa.i just wana say that ur an amazing person with a cheerful heart.u are an inspiration to young girls especially me...i simply love ur show

I just wanted to leave a msg for Steph I'm no Tyra Banks but, I just wanted to say I really feel for you in your situation. A friend of a friend went through the same situation only she was dating this guy for over 10yrs and he didn't want to commit to marriage. As time progressed, all of her friends were getting married and pregnant and in taking things to the next level and she still continued to be in what seemed like that juvinial dating stage. She talked to him about it on numerous occassions but he just wasn't willing to do it. I don't know exactly what you and him have talked about however, if hes not willing to make a sacrafice to take things to another level and become a loving husband to you and a daddy for your little girl then I would question why he is there. If you guys have been together for this long why is it such an issue to commit, because usually people who end up dating eachother for a prolonged period of time keep it that way so if one needs to leave at least you dont have to go through troubles of divorce or because its just "easier"... I would just hope that you wouldnt keep hangging on in hopes that maybe one day he changes. Theres plenty of men out there and you and your daughter deserve the best so instead of waiting around, find someone who doesnt need to wait almost a decade to figure out you're the one!
 
hey tyra, i love your show. i was just reading your blog about boyfriends. well im in a delemma and dont know what to do? I've been w/a guy for 6 yrs and i love him very much but i want to know when he is going to committ? im very upset b/c if affects me and my daughter in many ways. i feel he is here for me in some aspects but in others he isnt. i dont know how much longer i can deal w/this and i am worried that thre may be somoene else out thre that i may miss out on sinces hes been w/me for 6 yrs. should i tell him goodbye or shoiuld i stay? what do u think? i mean i love him very much but im afaraid he doesnt feel the same and he never talks about this?
 
i agree with NOT dating losers! when i was sixteen i thought i was just in love with this guy .. i did whatever i had to do to be with him. i ended up getting preg. and married when i was seventeen. i should have listened to my parents when they told me he was not the right guy for me but i didnt. about a year later i discovered his dirty secret he was using drungs and becomming violent.(there is a lot more to that story) i luckly had my parents to turn to and was able to get a devorce and have his rights taken. but there i was 18 with a baby on my own. while attending some class's in college i met another guy who seemed to be perfect love my kid and me! well after 2 months of dating i found myself preg. again. i wanted to do adoption cuz i knew that i wasnt able to have two children but he said we would make it work and we did for a little while. the relationship was him lieing and cheating. he ended up being bored being daddy and left to texas tech to party and have a good time. i am now left with two baby's 4 and 2 who i love with all my heart i do but i am trying to finnish school and be the best mom i can be. but i just cant seem to not find the losers! but girls please think about what you are doing... not all guys are the way they seem to be and you will be having to deal with hard times that you shouldnt be faceing. bing a young mom i didnt get to experiance the things most 21 year olds
 
DEAR TYRA, THIS MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT AREA FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT CONVEY, BUT THIS WAS THE ONLY AREA I COULD FIND WHERE I COULD SEND AN E-MAIL. YOU SEE, MY NEICE, TAYLOR SEES YOU AS HER IDOL. HOWEVER, SHE LIVES HER LIFE IN A TOTAL DIFFERENT MATTER. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL 16 YR GIRL AND ALREADY A THEIF, SEXUAL ACTIVE, CUT SCHOOLS, AND QUITE FRANKLY GIVING HER MOTHER, MY SISTER WHO IS ALREADY WORKING LONG HOURS PLUS TAKING A CLASS TO KEEP HER JOB. INSTEAD OF TAYLOR, HELPING HER MOTHER (WHO HAS A HEART CONDTION) WITH HER OTHER 5 SYBLINGS. TAYLOR MAINTAINS HERSELF. ALTHOUGH MY SISTER IS MARRIED HE-KEMAR, IS ONE OF THE TYPICAL BROTHERS' WHO RATES 3 ON SCALE OF 10. HE'S THERE BUT DOES NOTHING. I LOST ALL RESPECT FOR HIM, WHEN MY SISTER CAME HOME FROM HOSPITAL, AFTER HEART SURGERY "HE TOLD HER TO FIX HIM SOMETHING TO EAT," INSTEAD OF VICE/VERSA. YESTERDAY, TAYLOR WAS ALMOST SNATCHED. THIS LAST EPISODE FORCED ME TO WRITE YOU. WE ARE A PROUD FAMILY AND IT'S HARD TO INCLUDE YOU IN OUR PROBLEMS. MY HEART IS SO HEAVY WITH PAIN FOR MY SISTER, SHE IS TRYING SO HARD TO KEEP HER FAMILY TOGETHER, BUT MY NEICE IS NOT MAKING FAMILY LIFE EASY. I KNOW ITS ASKING ALOT FOR HER, BUT THE ROAD SHE TRAVELING IS GOING DOWN A DEAD END ROAD. EVERY TIME I PRAY ABOUT MY NEICE YOUR NAME COMES UP. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS DEVINE INTERVENTINE OR WHAT. I ONLY KNOW THAT IF YOU COULD CALL OR WRITE MY NEICE, TO LET HER KNOW, SHE IS A QUEEN IN EVERY LETTER OF THE WORD, MAYBE THIS WILL HELP HER BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. PERHAPS YOUR CAMP THAT YOU HOLD YEARLY WILL HELP. ANY FORM OF ASSISTANCE

its the name LOSER which must be understand by both the sexes....there are these rich chicks that were rejected by this poor boy because the chicks were just losers in understanding life,marriage and dating though they are rich....but other even big losers still think its the poor boy who is a loser just because at the moment,he is lacking the benefit of money or a moving machine(car)...losers never have hope.
