  • Disappointment With Tiger Part II: Why are women hating on Tiger's misstresses?

    Last week, I had to weigh in on what I saw as the silliest outrage about the Tiger affair. Now I would like to weigh in on the second silliest outrage... The second most popular flabbergasted comment I've heard about Tigergate: But I mean it's those women! They're not even hot! They're skanks! They

  • Do or Don't: Sex at the Folks'

    It's the holiday season. Time to sleep in his childhood bed... So you're at his parents' house. You finish a nice meal, lie to his mother about how you totally like Tofurkey. Then you brush your teeth, awkwardly say hi to his father in the hall as he goes to the kitchen for a glass of bedtime milk

  • Ten Things He Thinks When He Finds Out They're Fake

    And I'm going to be honest... You guys are gonna get mad at some of these thoughts (in fact, some will get mad about all the thoughts, and all will get mad about some of them), but I'm really going for the unvarnished truth. With, of course, the caveat that every man is different and some men won't

  • Help! My Wife is Trying to Dress Me Like Mr. Rogers!

    Blossoms came home from a shopping trip the other day, with some clothes for me... Now, listen. Blossoms has great taste. She always looks great, she almost never comes home with one of those risky but exciting purchases that forever stays in the closet unworn but un-thrown-away because you can't a

  • Confession: I'm Afraid My Daughter Will Be Disappointed in Me

    I've had this gnawing feeling in the back of my mind lately, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was. Until it dawned on me... Having a baby has affected me in all kinds of ways, big and small. I don't like to talk a lot about it, especially to people who don't have kids, because I always found

  • Five Best Places to Meet a Man This Fall

    My friend Alix, who told me there were no good places to meet men any more, challenged me to prove her wrong. I accepted that challenge, since, you know, she's totally wrong and she knows it... 1) Halloween Party I like to call Halloween the horniest holiday of the year. It's the Spanish Fly of

  • How Far is Too Far in a Fight

    Do you have a line in the sand when it comes to fighting with a boyfriend? Last week, Cheryl wrote about saying something she regretted when she was fighting with her man. (By the way: Drew, I feel your pain. How many times can you get mad at us for being a little messy? We're your husbands/boyfrie

  • Are You in a TV-Addicted Relationship?

    Just how much is too much...? Since the birth of Baby Blossoms, a pattern has emerged. We get home from work, get her to sleep, make dinner, open a couple of beers or a bottle of wine, turn off our brains, and watch TV. Usually a movie. Often a TV series we have on DVD.

  • Five Ways to Make Yourself Approachable

    The great tragedy of the dating world is that the large population of guys who'd like to talk to a girl and the large population of women who are waiting to be talked to hardly ever meet each other... As the old man of dating advice, I'd like to remind all you single ladies that as men, we are face

  • Why Men Keep Secrets

    I just started reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Normally I'm extraordinarily snobby about what I read, and I wouldn't think about picking up anything that could be labeled a thriller. (Hey, listen, we're all snobby about something. What are you snobby about?) But I figured since this was Sw

  • Five Things That Drive Men Nuts About Your Family

    I'm going to vent here. But only because I can't vent in real life! The number one thing, of course, is that we can never truly vent about your family to you. If I ever start a fortune cookie company, the first cookie I print will have this inside of it: you can complain about your sister, but if y

  • Racy Poll: Does Your Man Like Going... Down?

    Yesterday, Joanna asked a personal question. And now I'm asking the same question in reverse... Here's the thing. What you may not know about guys, at least in my experience, is that they kind of break down into two groups. Guys who will agree to go down, because they kind of have to. And guys who

  • What It Means if Your Man Says He Isn't Ready For a Baby

    Men have different philosophies when it comes to procreation, but I am going out on a limb with my own theory of readiness... The other day, when I was writing about my father in this space, I started thinking about the lead-up to Lil Blossoms, clearly the most awesome thing to happen to me in my l

  • True Honeymoon Confession: I Don't Even Want to Tell You About the Sex

    Let's just say it's not what they make x-rated (or maybe even PG-13-rated) movies about... I was inspired by Cheryl's honeymoon disaster story. I was inspired, that is, to tell you a story of a much more insidious kind of honeymoon disaster.

  • Sex: How Much Does It Matter If You Have An Orgasm

    My friend Alix told me about what I thought was a really heart-warming sexual experience the other day... So the other day I'm going through the park with one of my running partners, Alix. This is, by the way, I think the second time I've exercised since my kid was born. I'm sort of doing the rever

  • 5 Things Women Wear That Guys May Pretend to Hate But Secretly Like

    There are a lot of things I pretend to find distasteful when it comes to what women wear and how they choose to look... that I actually kind of like. Here are five... Some of them are strippery, some of them are trying too hard to be "classy" (see the manicure below). All are things that I am embar

  • The Five Body Parts Men Love (And You'd Never Guess)

    It's not that we don't love the body parts you think we do. We love those, too, front yard and back. But they're not what really drive us crazy...

  • One Possible Reason He Hasn't Proposed

    I've been reading Engagement Chick's rather engaging blog. And I got curious about her situation. And, of course (because I'm self-centered) figured I might be able to give her some advice. So we got on IM, and talked about it.

  • What It Means If A Guy Watches (Very) Kinky Porn

    Hint: It's not necessarily a sign that he's a demented sex freak...My friend Dan's girlfriend caught him looking at porn last week. Only it wasn't your normal vanilla porn.Dan and I have the kind of friendship where we can, and do, tell each other pretty much everything. (I want to tell you guys abo
