Two friends discuss relationships and other mysteries of life.

I often hear men say that women want to “have it both ways”. By this, they usually mean that women want to be treated as equals, but don’t want to pull their own weight. Until recently, that assertion made me more than a little angry; I’d just never seen any evidence that it was true.
When [...]

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, [...]

It seems to be, what I like to call “Swooning season”. That’s not the time of year where people hunt for “swoons”. It’s a time when single people look to step up their game, date more (or simply date). There’s more flirting, approaching and dating going on. I’ve noticed that I [...]

Sometimes Mike and I seem to be speaking two very different languages, but I don’t think it’s because he uses blue type and I use pink. I think it’s just that we’re two very different people with very different ideas about things. Today, I encountered one of those differences that proves that differing views don’t [...]

In Tiffany’s post (which we’ll call bait) she claims that physical attraction may not be as important as we have been lead to believe. Of course, she makes this claim after “Carefully inspecting” photographs of sex symbols. If physical appearance is as unimportant as she claims, I have to wonder why lingerie and [...]

I may not be as right as I normally am. We have been doing a lot of discussion over online dating profiles and the way that we should or shouldn’t be presenting ourselves. I think I may be guilty of doing a little white lying on my profile as well. Yup, I’m not actually a D cup. Of course, I’m joking…I actually am but size doesn’t matter. But the truth is that I have been painting a less than accurate portrait of myself.
The pictures I post online are carefully selected to portray what I THINK women want but my thinking may be wrong.

Tiffany’s post about the gender differences playing a role in single parenting reminded me of what I admit is obviously lacking in raising my daughter, first hand experience. I grew up having three older sisters, a mother and…later in life… I had a wife for nine years. I knew from listening what it [...]

So, you find yourself attracted to someone and you want to make you feelings known. But how do you do that without being insulting? I’m not talking about just a sexual attraction. I mean, for whatever reason, you find yourself drawn to someone. It could be from something they said, the way they smile or [...]

Oh, come on, Mike. We all know you can read. And most of us are pretty sure you don’t really think that saying sometimes a person is too worn out and stretched too thin to enjoy socializing is the same as promoting the idea that being married is like having an extra child. That’s not [...]

There seems to be a very thin line that separates lighthearted flirting from offensive sexual harassment. In the past, I had always assumed that the difference had more to do with who was doing the flirting and not what was actually said. However, a recent comment that I made in a public forum [...]
