My Exotic Destination Theory of Relationships
Things have been a little heavy around here lately. I’ve been writing quite a bit about the reality of today’s sexual marketplace, which is important. But I’ve overindulged on the feminism angle and I’m feeling a bit hungover. So today it’s back to basics, with a letter I received last week.
Dear Susan,
I’ve gotten myself into [...]
On the Other Hand…
Lest my women readers think I am being unduly harsh toward our own fair sex after yesterday’s post, I do want to share something that Natalie sent along yesterday.

What Does Tiger’s Chasing Tail Say About Men With Power?
Yesterday Lisa, a reader, wrote and asked for my thoughts on the Tiger Woods drama. Specifically, she wondered about the correlation between power and infidelity. The correlation is obvious:

5 Indispensable Paranormal Tools for Managing Relationships
The other day I was asked, “If you could possess one superpower, what would you choose?” I always think of that as a guy sorta thing. I’m not interested in scaling walls or having X-ray vision. When I was a kid, more than anything I wanted to be like Samantha on Bewitched. I realize that’s [...]

In the past I have been a little wary of Experienced Guy, but his comments here are very reasonable. And I’m disappointed that Amelia and Brooding Law School Student don’t flirt this time. Just saying.
Anyway, [...]
