Relationship Strategies,
What Guys Want I hadn’t really planned a post for today, but I woke up to a couple of things this morning that I just have to share. Before lunch today I had already felt: moved, amused, proud, surprised, enlightened, horrified, sickened, shocked, bewildered, repulsed and consumed by paroxysms of laughter. In other words, there’s good news, and [...]

Hooking Up Realities,
What Guys Want Recently, the economics blog Marginal Revolution ran a piece called A Theory For Why Latvian Women are Beautiful, after a colleague returned from Latvia astounded by the beauty of the women there.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could take one look at someone’s face and know if they were relationship material? It turns out that people are remarkably accurate at predicting just that. A study at Durham University in England showed that Boyfriends look significantly different than Players. Check out this example:

Narcissus in Greek mythology is a hero, renowned for his beauty. He is exceptionally cruel, in that he disdains those who love him. As divine punishment he falls in love with a reflection in a pool, not realizing it is his own, and perishes there, not being able to leave the beauty of his own [...]

Relationship Strategies “In gardens, beauty is a by-product. The main business is sex and death.”
Sam Llewelyn
I spent my holiday weekend digging holes. I am a gardener, and every year on Memorial Day I plant, and weed, and water, and generally launch my garden for the summer. I confess I feel sheepish admitting this, because I fear you [...]

Relationship Strategies,
What Guys Want “Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, wish me well
You’ve gotta let me go”
Brandon Flowers, The Killers, Human

Ahhhh, I am such a cynic about Valentine’s Day. But leave it to Bella English at the Boston Globe to get me all sentimental. Reading this story reduced me to weeping and sobbing this morning.
Men like Cesar Muniz are bound to be rare. But there are plenty of good and decent guys out there. Don’t [...]
