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. [...]
The Cost of Always Holding Out for Something Better
Brett and Kate McKay write The Art of Manliness, a successful personal development blog that is tailored to men, but contains many excellent, thoughtful articles that I enjoy. Recently, they wrote about a general condition of restlessness and anxiousness in our society, a sort of general malaise. They define it as feeling like there’s this great [...]
The 10 Greatest Love Stories of All Time
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 [...]
I Married a One-Night Stand
“Love is the answer, but while you’re waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.”
Woody Allen
Today I’m beginning a new series, and it starts with the backstory of my own most significant relationship. I sometimes share personal details here, but I’ve never told you this particular story. It’s the story that originally won [...]
Geeks Demand Equal Time Under Fairness Doctrine
Ever since I published Are Emo Guys the Antidote to Frat Poison? last week, I’ve been getting some pushback from geeky types and the girls who love them. Hey, I’m game. I love geeks. In fact I married one, sort of. Well…he had been a geek, for sure, but I met him when he was [...]
This is What Love Looks Like
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 [...]
11 Reasons to See ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ ASAP
Love love love love. So much fun, so entertaining. I wanna go again.
Here are my reasons for saying this is an AWESOME movie:
It’s better than the book. My beef with the book is that it is such a downer. It’s really all about moving on, not [...]
For True Love, Pick a Beta Male
Last week at Thanksgiving dinner, we had a variety of family members and friends over who had not previously met. The 20 year-old girls got talking about their favorite guy friends, referring to these boys using such affectionate nicknames as Precious Delight, Pure Sweetness and Totally Dorbs (for adorable). A 28 year-old guy overhearing this [...]
Vampires Make the Best Boyfriends
I’ve gotten really obsessed with HBO’s True Blood this fall. The main vampire character and leading man is Bill Compton, played with steamy intensity by Stephen Moyer. He’s recently returned to his hometown of Bon Temps, Louisiana in search of whatever humanity he still retains, and has promptly fallen for Sookie Stackhouse, a young [...]
Sex is Strategic. So Should You Be.
“Here’s what he wants: to have sex with you.
Here’s what you want: to be courted, adored, wooed, admired, listened to, understood, wooed some more, forgiven for your foibles, your little peccadilloes, chased, called, pleaded with, cared for, kissed, loved and to have great sex.
You see the problem here? We want more stuff [...]
