Relationship Strategies Is there a woman alive who doesn’t adore Tina Fey? I mean besides Sarah Palin. Tina Fey is an incredible role model for women. A self-described high school AP nerd, she lost her virginity to her husband at the age of 24:

I love Jason Mraz’s song I’m Yours. Doesn’t every woman? It’s been on Billboard’s Top 100 chart for 74 weeks, a record. It’s the third-best selling digital song of all time, having sold 4.4 million downloads, and it’s still going strong. Why?

Girl Talk,
Relationship Strategies Are women unrealistic in their expectations of love? Do we demand so much from men that none can ever hope to measure up? What is the love that we dream of as girls, and can we ever really find it?
My own views of love were undoubtedly shaped, at least in part, by the many books [...]

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 Jane Austen understood everything about the human heart. That’s an astonishing accomplishment for a woman who died a virgin at 41. Lauren Henderson, a novelist who attended Cambridge University in England and wrote her dissertation on the courtship rituals in Jane Austen, has gathered JA’s wisdom, and added some of her own, into Jane Austen’s [...]

Tidbits,
What Guys Want There is the most wonderful series of animated videos on YouTube by Levni Yilmaz. It’s called Tales of Mere Existence. One of my favorites is What Would Penis Do? It’s like a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, only this is Penis, Heart, Mind. Penis breaks Heart and warps Mind. But you knew that already. Still, it’s [...]

Relationship Strategies,
What Guys Want In the 1930s, there were women who knew how to grab the world by the balls to get what they wanted. Their power to seduce both on screen and in life was formidable. These femme fatales are still relevant role models. They were a brainy, brassy mix of drive and subtlety. They had lots of attitude, [...]

There’s a new website called Kiss and Dish that looks like fun. It’s a place to share stories, commiserate and get advice if you need it. I learned about it in an article at the Ohio State student online newspaper.
Kristen Ricordati and her business partner Daniel Kiepfer started the site where users can share and [...]
