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 [...]

I. Woman Gets Busted for Cheating On the Radio
Thanks to Natalie (again!) for sending along something interesting and entertaining. This is a couple of weeks old, and you may have heard it. It’s hilarious and well worth a listen when you’ve got 12 minutes:
Do you feel sorry for Ashley? I don’t. Ashley had it coming. [...]
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. It’s a piece written a couple of years ago for the Modern Love column in the Sunday NYX’s. I remember liking it very much then, but [...]
Mr. Right is Right Under Your Nose
You can’t just order up the perfect husband á la carte – I’ll take a little of this, a little of that, less of this and more of that. A guy is a package deal, as are we. Recognizing that isn’t settling. It’s maturity. The key is to focus on the qualities that lead to [...]
When Should You Agree to Sex? Guys Tell It Straight
In this era of sexual free-for-all, one of the most difficult things to figure out is the proper timing for having sex. For women, there are usually tradeoffs involved in diving between the sheets. Even if we decide to “have sex like a man,” it’s not possible, because the sexual double standard is alive and [...]
A Nice Guy Tells You How to Win His Heart
I’ve been putting together some of the best comments left by guys over the last few months, but today I’m featuring one left just this morning that stands on its own as a post. Guys tend to leave more comments than girls do (Get with it ladies!), and I’ve learned a tremendous amount from them. [...]
It Takes a Man to Speak Truth About the Women of UNC
There’s been a fair amount of buzz in the blogosphere about the NYX’s article re a shortage of men on UNC’s campus. I thought I’d bring you some of the more interesting bits.
I. From Feministing, that bastion of sex-positive, snarky women:
Would You Like a College Degree to Go With Your Man? The NYT’s Heteronormative Fail

In Combat Dating, You Can’t Afford to Fight Like a Girl
In my recent post Can Women Run Game on Men? I discussed the book Why Men Love Bitches. There was one particular piece of advice that I thought deserved special attention, because it’s a trap that women frequently fall into.
“A [women with high self-esteem] is polite but clear, and communicates very directly, in much the [...]
What Guys Are Really Saying About You When You’re Not Around
I found this online, and I’d say it’s a pretty representative sample of what young women are up against. Here’s what guys are really saying to each other when they think you’re not listening.
When you’re swimming in shark infested waters, it’s hard to come out unscathed. The best thing you can do is come equipped [...]
Can Women Run GAME on Men?
“He doesn’t get a monopoly on the rent space in her head. He doesn’t get Park Place, and he doesn’t get Boardwalk. He gets one of those little purple properties next to Go.”
Sherry Argov, Why Men Love Bitches
Since I wrote about Game in a positive light last week here, I’ve heard from several women who [...]
