#1 Pure laziness.
When it comes to doing things the easy way, men are highly skilled experts. Dating a woman who already has small children is the TV dinner version the American dream. Men don’t want to spend 24 hours simmering a pot roast when Swanson makes a “Hungry-Man” meal that’s ready in minutes. [...]

If you ask a woman what she is looking for in a man she will probably say something like, “A man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. A man who is good at communicating his feelings. A man who is affectionate and willing to make me feel [...]

I can look at a woman and just know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she would be a miserable person to date. I’ll know that her life is out of control and she’s wildly unstable and prone to massive mood swings. I’ll know that she’s manipulative and an absolute master at [...]

Mike’s recent post about what he missed about being young surprised me, but maybe that’s just because I’m getting senile. It shouldn’t have surprised me, because it’s a sentiment I see and hear expressed in different ways all the time. Somehow, it comes as a shock to me every time.

I think Mike’s Romeo and Juliet post was dead on with one exception: I don’t think the delusions had anything to do with age. Do adolescents tend to meet cute members of the opposite sex, hear a couple of funny comments, see them do one thing that could be construed as mildly commendable and then [...]

Adolescence is that wonderful time when we are graced with the ability to have emotions. We move beyond accepting simple “yes or no” answers and start to ask “why” and consider how those answers make us feel. Everything is driven (quite powerfully) by an emotion. It can’t simply be that we admire [...]

Not long ago, Mike offered a response to a reader who asked when was the right time to switch to “in a relationship”. But she was far from alone in her inquiry. Around the same time, I saw a discussion of the issue on Blog Catalog, and caught a snippet of teenage consternation over relationship [...]

Tiffany and I received another question from one of our readers. This question tackles the important issue of “when do I change my Facebook status to in a relationship?” My immediate response was, “Before the effects of alcohol wear off”. I still stand by that response but I felt like I should [...]

A while ago I think I was in a relationship with a women. I say, “I think” because I’m not entirely certain. You see, she was a little flippant with regards to being considered “in a relationship” and would mysteriously dump me at random intervals. We seemed to be perfect for each other. [...]

A few months ago, a friend at work sent me a link to a blog post called “Does This Law Degree Make My Ass Look Fat?” In a nutshell, the author suggested that men really don’t want to date attractive, successful women who have it all together and are self-sufficient. They require, in her words, [...]
