I was the nice guy once. It happened in third grade. My troublemaker friend Tommy got the cutest girl in the class because he was, well, bad (“bad” in those days meant looking up the teacher’s dress or passing notes in class). I was, well, good and the only thing good got me in third grade [...]
Emergency contact? Isn’t that the same as “plus one,” but without the alcohol? OK, maybe not. But any time we have to check a box or space on a form, we seem to find ourselves assessing our place in life in general – and we often don’t like what we see.
My pet peeve, on any [...]
Plus One? Is that anything like BYOB? Or Pot Luck? Maybe not, but all do have one thing in common; we all are feel like losers if we don’t comply. Personally, I find plus one to be highly overrated. I speak from experience – I was married, remember? I used to dread the “plus one” [...]
My favorite is the orgasm scene in the restaurant…

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.
