Let it be known: As I write this post I have not seen the movie, nor did I read the book. Well, that is not entirely true. I tried to read the book.

I used to work at the salon, I was getting my hair done at one day, and all the girls were buzzing about this book. “What … Continue reading →

She Says: Sex Now, Love Later
Dear Baffled by Boyfriend, Eight years is a long time to be with someone who is reluctant to tell you he loves you. This kind of question makes me thankful that you will also get a perspective from the male point of view on Friday when Skippy writes his post. I haven’t quite figured out how the male mind works, if I had then I would probably write a book and make a lot of money. All I can do … Continue reading →
He Says: Confessions of A Former Beta Male
Yes it’s true. I use to be a beta male. I’m on the road to recovery and everything is getting better. This is good news for me and the female population. Back in the day when I was “dating” two girls at the same time I actually lied to them. Or at least failed to inform them of each others existence. This caused some problems when it came to having one out of the house before the other showed up. … Continue reading →

Question Of The Week: Why Am I Not That Into Her?
Dear Robyn and Skippy, I went on a date the other night with a girl I met on a dating site. It was an experience that made me reflect on what I want.

He Says: It’s That Very Special Time Of The Year. That Sucks.
There are many reasons to hate the holidays. Let me count them. 1. Atheists Who Want Presents. This is going to hurt your feelings. And you know how much I care about your feelings. I case “this much” about your feelings. Ready? Good.

Christmas is a holiday celebrating the birth of … Continue reading →
Robyn Rants: Men
Men. Can’t live with em… Can’t kill ’em… I mean… live without ’em. I think that one of natures cruelest jokes is that we are put on this Earth to not only procreate with the opposite sex, but co-habitate with them as well. I mean, how can one species be so different from one another? OK so we don’t have to co-habitate with one another. I used to think that my life would be a lot easier if I were … Continue reading →
He Says: To Hit or Not To Hit?
Dear Chris Cross; Actually you don’t have to ask a question. I can just riff off anything you give me. But I suppose a question does help and it fits the format of the blog. The answers are “no” and “yes” and “make that jello-shot a double”. I’m in the camp that says an ex (or an X as I like to think of them) is an ex for a reason. Such as being possessed by Satan. Oh sure some … Continue reading →

I feel like it is almost worth participating this year to get them off my back, but what happens next year when I decide not to celebrate Christmas? … Continue reading →
