Save the Date: Lesbian knows best, part I


Vicki Wagner is Lesbian Knows Best

 

So who gives the best dating advice? Men? Women? Chinese horoscopes?

Los Angeles resident Vicki Wagner says that Lesbian Knows Best—that’s her, and that’s her dating podcast. And she’s onto something.

“Because I’m gay, I see it from both sides,” she said. “I’m a woman first and foremost and I happen to be born gay—I have the feelings and emotions a woman has, however mentally, I identify more with a man.”

For 1-1/2 years, translator between the sexes has combined her love of improv comedy and advice for the lovelorn into 60 episodes of her podcast. I gave her a call for this two-part series to ask for some of her lesbian smarts, funny anecdotes about dating and how she got to be the go-to girl for so many people’s love advice.
 
So you’re really good at advice and funny to boot—how did you get on the dating advice train?

My straight friends were always asking me for advice about their boyfriends or girlfriends because I can see it from both sides.

I come from a pretty practical background and diverse. I have street smarts. It’s natural for me to be intuitive—I’m almost borderline psychic and I have great perceptions about people. 

What is a mistake men are always making about women?

Men believe that women want a bad boy. Every single guy on my show thought women want a bad guy.

Women don't want bad boys, they want nice guys. Guys who take them out and think of them and don't cheat on them and bring them flowers. And are good in bed. And make some dough. Yes, they want all that. But they also want someone who will fight for them and protect them. That is why people think women want bad boys. 
 
What about the Howard Stern factor—rich, unattractive guys with young hotties?

I've known enough straight men to know how they all really think. Of course a guy wants a good-looking hottie. Who wants to go home with Ugly Betty? And all guys want to get laid. Even guys who have a two-inch dick still want it, but are too embarrassed to show their smallness. That's why they get better jobs and drive nicer cars; they are all compensating for something.

OK, so to the other side. What about a common mistake women make about men.

Confusing sex with intimacy. For instance, women want to be nurturing and lay there after sex subconsciously so she can be fertilized. It goes back to our biological instincts. The man-He gets his hormones, gets an erection, and when he is done, he can get up and do jumping jacks. The woman, if she got inseminated, her body needs to relax to get pregnant. That’s our instincts. Just because a guy has sex with you doesn't mean he loves you. It's his job to spread his seed biologically.  

You’ve said people don’t have enough sex, that they get too comfortable with each other. How can they keep the chase excitement going?
 
If you are not having sex with the person, your spouse or significant other, than they just become someone you are living with, like a roommate. The only difference between a friend and a lover is that you have SEX with your lover. A lot of times when people gain weight, they start getting self conscious about their bodies and they stop wanting to have sex. If you don't feel good about your body, go to the gym, shed some pounds, work up some stamina and get busy getting back to love with your lover.  

We all crave sex. If you aren't giving it to the one you are with, I guarantee that sooner or later someone else will. It's nature. So talk with your partner, be open with your feelings, tell them what you want and ask for what you need. Develop a bond of intimacy so that you always desire one another.

    Women don't want bad boys, I assure you. The only people I know that had relationships that lasted were not with bad boys. They were good men. She's right, we want someone to protect us not beat us.

    Vicki is right!! And when men say they think we all want bad boys they are just using it as an excuse to be bad. We just don't want wimps that's all.

    Too bad she can't come out to Maine and give us some advice. My boyfriend is always making excuses for everything and wants to pretend he is a bad boy. I assure you he's not. I am going to check out your Lesbian Knows Best site.
    thanks

    Hi,
    I have met Vicki personally, I liven in Canada and we are good friends.
    I have seen her as a comedian and also as being her self.
    I agree totally with the answers she has given you in this interview.
    I too was born gay, and over the years, I am 62, I can vouch for all the things about straight men or women....and society who think all gay people will be pedophiles or whatever.
    I look forward to the second part of the interview as Vicki is a very knowledgable woman, and I feel what she has to say interests both men and women...
    Sincerely,
    Lorraine McGiffen
