Two friends discuss relationships and other mysteries of life.

Don’t get me wrong. I like womanizers. Of course, most women enjoy them in the moment–if we didn’t, they wouldn’t be so successful. Hell, we wouldn’t have a name for them. But the tide turns. Womanizers don’t stay. And then a lot of women get angry that the man hasn’t kept all those promises he [...]

I’ve seen websites offering DVD’s that explain how to become a “player” and other sites offering stories and tips on how to pick up women. Isn’t this basically saying, “This is who you have to be to get this type of woman”? If you have to learn skills and techniques and study what [...]

What I didn’t know was that full-grown adults–not college kids in their early twenties with one foot in their parents’ homes but thirty-something professionals with careers and condos and supposed lives of their own–were still looking to their friends to hold up numerical scores while their dates “performed”.

A couple of months ago, I met a man I wasn’t particularly interested in. Actually, that happens all the time. What makes this man worth mentioning was that I was pretty interested in the life he was leading. It looked a lot like the life I had in the good days of my marriage, when my family was involved in our community and my husband and I spent a lot of time actively parenting and younger people in the neighborhood came to us for help and advice. In short, it looked a lot like a life I’d already been happy in, a life where I’d found my true heart.

Mike made some good points in his recent post about “white lies” on dating sites. In fact, many of them relate closely to the issues I raised in my post about the worst idea in online dating history. I would (for once) agree with him completely if it weren’t for one thing: he’s lying.
No, really. [...]

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 [...]

I heard an advertisement on the radio today that fell in line with what Tiffany is trying to encourage people to believe. The Ad had a woman talking about raising her kids and said something like, “Even the big one I call my husband”. This is part of the common view that I am trying [...]

I’m a little bored with Mike’s efforts to justify clinging to bad relationship after bad relationship (and after reading my email this evening, I think some of you are, too), so I’m going to circle back and address something he mentioned a while back that got lost in the shuffle: the idea that women “should” [...]

We make decisions based on the information that we have. When that information is a lie, it skews the decisions that we make. A woman who I had been dating for a couple months told me that she needed space. She said that she was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know if she wanted [...]

That’s a nice spin you put on it, Mike, but you seem to forget that I was there. I did, in fact, “accuse” you of that same kind of suffocating behavior I mentioned in my last post. I think it was the night you called me complaining that the woman who had asked you for [...]
