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.

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?
Surrender.

Tidbits,
What Guys Want Guys are knuckleheads. I say that with the greatest possible affection. There are some ways in which no guy ever grows up, and while that can be maddening, sometimes it is just so damned charming! Glimpsing the 10 year-old boy that a man once was feels like a sneak peek into his vulnerability. And signs [...]

What Guys Want Recently a college-aged friend turned me on to The Average American Male by Chad Kultgen (2007), a book she found disgusting and reprehensible in every way. She went so far as to say she hated the author. She was about 50 pages in at that point, and it was clear that she had absolutely no intention [...]

“You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in and you’re out
