Sue me. I am a pedantic man. I use big words. It’s my nature to be sesquipedalian. My advice here is thus – when a man is dating, he should shut up and let the damsel do the talking. Please, keep quiet. Your daring stories of fiduciary acumen are not exciting. Your stories of relationship [...]

Mom Was Wrong – A Personal Narrative
“Be nice, be yourself” I remember those words well. I took them to heart for decades and it almost ruined me. Nice. I was supposed to be nice she told me. At the time, I really didn’t know exactly what “nice” meant. I just remember being an active young boy and when I got to [...]

A Confession

I stumbled across this and thought it might make for some good reading. Most women will hate it. Thoughtful, intelligent, and introspective women will laugh wryly at the truths contained in this list. It’s a long list. Share it with a link, please.
