Match.com Hates Happy Relationships
Dalrock has recently clued me into to the Match.com online magazine, “happen“. There’s even a clever tagline: because love doesn’t come with instructions. The good folks at Match.com produce articles on dating and relationships. It’s conventional wisdom, blue pill stuff. It should also be noted that most of the writers and editorial staff are women [...]

Women, Dogs, “Casual” Conversation
When I return from work I always walk the dog. Normally I avoid other dogs and the humans attached to them. This is because my dog, Lucy, can sometimes be unpredictable around other dogs. She once bit another dog very badly and I am extremely careful because of this. There are exceptions to my caution, [...]

The Female Self-Esteem Crisis
Self-esteem in American girls and women is at a crisis point. It’s so bad that our culture now has a generation of girls and women who are incapable of forming or coping with healthy relationships with the opposite sex. This is evidenced by the “hook up” culture amongst the late teen and early 20s cohort, [...]

The Broken Gender Social Contract
The Hooking Up Smart blog and subsequent comments always yields wisdom in regards to the gender dynamic in the context of dating and relationships. To wit: Just like women are supposed to look thin and pretty, men have to show status and good character. In that simple quote, the commenter has nicely summarized the working [...]

PM Caption Contest #1
I found this photo over at Lily’s blog. It needs a caption and a good one. I’ll start (at bottom of photo) “Oh shit, he’s going to try to put that thing in me.” “Oh shit, I’ll never be able to put my thing in her.” OK, comment with your captions. If it’s good, I’ll [...]

Young Men Can Be So Clueless
Thanks to a comment regarding a post over at Hooking Up Smart (Player or Beta?), I came across the one of the funniest Reddit threads I have ever read. It’s here. Expand all the comments. Put a plastic bag over your keyboard and then read the stories and comments. While men might complain mightily that [...]

Throttle Back To Beta
I ride a motorcycle that has some serious engine braking going on. That has proven to be quite useful when I’m out on the vicious highways here in tropical paradise. As I was once a serious beta orbiter chump, I have learned to throttle back to these behaviors should the situation require it to avoid [...]

About Those English Riots
Rarely do I comment on current events because there is an army of pundits and bloggers for that. But the very recent rioting in England leads me to some interesting observations: 1. This is organized. Groups of young men are clearly communicating to coordinate their criminal efforts. I wonder at what level this is happening. [...]

IM Exchange… Lessons To Be Learned
The setup: Surfer Woman and I are chatting online. She has a Saturday event which precludes her from surfing. She’s about to have her period and that means PMS. I’ve broken up the IM exchange based on shifts in her frame. My comments are in bold. This is 95% verbatim. Some of the extraneous crap [...]
