I don’t think my parents ever cheated on each other. I never even thought about it as a kid, but even now, with my experience as an adult in this age of infidelity, I’d still bet my monthly rent on the two of them being completely faithful for all 50 plus years of their marriage. [...]
Obviously you’ve never heard the old joke. Hard to believe, since I’ve been beating it to death since I was old enough to tell the difference between bad luck and no luck, but it goes something like this: “How do you make God laugh? Have a plan.”
I have no idea who invented these fairy tales [...]
Your grandmother was right. It has been true since the third grade. The way in which a woman presents herself is the single most defined portion of what a man thinks when he meets her. Part and parcel with this is the fact that a woman can only present herself as the woman she truly [...]
Sometimes being right sucks. And this is officially one of those times.
Okay, so my first question is a no-brainer: “I hope you don’t think this is a wussy way to handle this…” God, I feel like such a chick when I say this, but are you kidding me, Pal? If it wasn’t a completely wussy [...]
Not too long ago, I could dismiss your dilemma with that expression, “He’s just not that into you.” But things are so different these days. To some, just saying that probably makes me sound old. Well, I’m not old, and I’m certainly no idealist, but you don’t have to be either one of these to [...]
OK… I’m taking a deep breath because what I have to say may hurt you and I have no interest in ever doing that – but I’m going to say it anyway:
You disappoint me.

My three most despised holidays:
1) Valentine’s Day
2) Valentine’s Day
3) Valentine’s Day
You are so right about Valentine’s Day. It truly sucks, and for all of the reasons you mentioned. But I hate to break it to you; for guys, it’s even worse. You talk about your friends picking out dresses, dreaming of special moments and seeing [...]
First of all, you watch too much reality TV. But in the reality of life, as well as the reality of love, for every pro, there’s a con.
Exhibit A: Why is there such a fine line between the goodness of truly loving someONE and the preposterous notion that there’s any such thing as “The One.” [...]
Your dating bonanza sounds a lot like the early stages of a divorce. You’re looking at a full, diverse menu, but you can’t decide what you want to order so you’re inevitably left hungry at the end of the meal. I remember one of my first nights out after my divorce was final. A friend and I [...]
What’s that expression? You have to kiss plenty of frogs before one of them turns into a prince? That expression represents everything wrong with how women are taught to view themselves when it comes to men – even now, in the 21st century. First of all, what’s up with wanting a prince? Because you want [...]
