Yes, we all have that one guy friend that we go to for advice, but you’ve probably hit a point where you’re just not buying it anymore, he is not-so-secretly in love with you, or you’ve seen his own advice fail. Behold: GUYdance, guidance for you provided by the Her Campus Guys. As women, we think we usually have a pretty good handle on what guys like and don’t like, how we should act on a date, and what kind of gifts the men in our lives should receive. But has anyone actually tested our own theories? This is our chance to have all of our questions answered by Winona’s finest men.
You may be questioning their credibility. Meet Christian Bartz and Austin Opfer, Her Campus Winona’s excellent male writers.

Austin is a dedicated student majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Communications. Austin is also football player and a very social person. Growing up with several sisters and no brothers, Austin has had more than his share of women issues and advice giving. Getting older and being around women through all aspects of college life and athletics, Austin has grown to really have passion for helping others through personal problems. Her Campus Winona gave Austin the opportunity to express himself through his writing and to learn more about connecting with women, so he can better himself. Guydance is something he is excited and passionate about.
