Hi! My Name is Tynan...

I'm an egomaniac vegan pickup artist who sold everything and is traveling around the world. I generally do whatever I want whenever I want, even when I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea. I like singing gangsta rap, writing, working out, working on my business, traveling, and finding adventure. I always wear a sequinned hat with stars on it.

This Site Is About...

Better than Your Boyfriend is about self improvement. I'm talking about getting off the beaten path, forging your own interesting life, and living outside the box. Doing what you dream of doing. Relentless pursuit of excellence. No filler, rehashed ideas, or feel-goodery that doesn't bring results.

Boston

I’m heading out to Boston for a few days, starting today. What does that mean to you? It means that I’ll probably be lazy with updates because I just had to buy the world’s smallest laptop. It’s extremely portable, of course, but is also nearly impossible to type long posts on. Nevertheless, I’m going to try to finish one on the plane.

Actually, because instead of actually planning this trip I just randomly bought a plane ticket and told people I was coming a couple days before, I am stuck with very little to do. So if you are a fine young lady in the Boston area, e-mail me. Do it!

Valentine’s Day News

I don’t really like writing short updates, but there are too many little things going on to write separate posts.

First, I’ve designed some cool t-shirts, hats, and other items to facilitate displaying of BtyB pride. Even if you don’t have BtyB pride yet, the designs are cool enough that you’ll want to wear them anyway. To check it out, visit the Better Than Your Boyfriend Store .

Want to support the site, but would rather get paid for doing so? I used to be professional gambler, earning the bulk of my income from online casinos for six years. I will soon write a whole story about that. The casino I got started at is called Casino-on-Net. I have a deal with them where anyone signing up with them through my site will get $200 for free!

I’ve played at hundreds of casinos online and on land, and many of them are rigged, shady, or will just run with your money. The most honest and fair casino I’ve ever played at is Casino-on-Net. I have never had a bad experience with them, and neither have any of the dozens of gambling friends I have. Anyone who signs up through my web site to get $200 for free (and yes, you will really get it) will also be supporting Better than your Boyfriend, as Casino-on-Net pays me a commission.

One last way you can help me help you is by checking out my diet book that I wrote (under a pen name). It’s called The Skinny Snob and I’m really proud of it. I spent a ton of time learning about diet and nutrition, and this is the sum of my knowledge, laid out in a very easy to follow plan. If you follow it and have bought a T-shirt, when you need a smaller size, it’s on me!

If you want to keep love and money separate, that’s cool too. A link to my site from your blog, forum, or web site is very valuable to me. Thanks a lot to everyone who has already linked to me and helped this site grow!

As you may have noticed from the ever growing comment section, I have received tons of publicity recently. This means more people visiting BtyB, which is fantastic. The bigger we get, the easier it is for me to afford to spend time writing up even more great stories. Also, soon we will be big enough that companies will sponsor contests. I plan on spending a lot of time getting cool prizes for monthly giveaways for you guys.

I also have some exciting news about Polyphasic sleep, but I want to wait a few more days to make sure it’s solid before I share it with you guys.

Here’s a rough plan of what to expect from Better than your Boyfriend in the near future :

- The conclusion of the popular How I Became a Famous Pickup Artist series.

- An in depth story about the six months I lived with famous rock star Courtney Love

- A 45 (ok, maybe more) day review on my progress with 2006 Goals

- The next part in the The Great American School Bus Conversion story

- More rap songs!

- My own holiday starting this year that will CHANGE THE WORLD!

- The best way to make your computer super cool looking

- How to always be happy (really!)

- Who knows what else I’ll get into and write about…

Anyways… stay tuned. I’m having a great time writing these articles, and I have a ton more that I’m dying to write about. I take a lot of time writing them, so please be patient. Thanks again for being part of this site!

Hey Jerkface, Why Haven’t You Been Updating?

Good question.

I don’t really have a great answer, though. Last night I had nearly finished Part 3 of the pickup artist story (keep in mind every article takes me 1-2 hours to write), and then my stupid computer crashed and I lost the whole thing.

The other problem is that although I was kicking ass and I didn’t oversleep for three days straight, I then got cocky and did a really hard workout. The result? I’ve been exhausted for the past two days, and both times I overslept through the time that I had designated for writing an entry.

I would do it right now, but I’m picking my friend Phil up in San Antonio. Why isn’t he just flying down here or renting a car? I dunno. In fact, my car only gets about 11mpg, so it’s pretty retarded for me to go pick him up. But… he’s a really good friend and has always gone out of his way to help me out, so I don’t really mind. I plan on calling some people back (I’m notorious at being bad about calling people back) and also learning some French in the car.

I saw the funniest thing in the world two days ago. I went to Karaoke (not Krunkaoke, unfortunately) and it’s hosted by this hilarious Korean guy who is simultaneously the most vulgar person I’ve ever seen. Besides swearing at everyone, calling everyone a gayboy (no, not just me), and screaming at people to shut up whenever he’s talking, he also announced over the microphone that he needed to know which of the ladies in attendance were on their period, described in exquisite detail how a blow job SHOULD be performed, and even offered to take off his pants if a girl would take off hers. Yeah.

If you want to see this masterpiece, and you should, and you’re in Austin, then go to DK Sushi on Monday nights. Of course… don’t go this next Monday. He made it very clear that It’s VIP only and NONE of us (other than the hot [?] girls) are invited.
