Where Have The Good Men Gone?
– February 25, 2011Posted in: Misc.
More link bait. More male/female bashing. What are we doing to heal relationships among the sexes? All I hear is noise.
Not so long ago, the average American man in his 20s had achieved most of the milestones of adulthood: a high-school diploma, financial independence, marriage and children. Today, most men in their 20s hang out in a novel sort of limbo, a hybrid state of semi-hormonal adolescence and responsible self-reliance. This “pre-adulthood” has much to recommend it, especially for the college-educated. But it’s time to state what has become obvious to legions of frustrated young women: It doesn’t bring out the best in men.
“We are sick of hooking up with guys,” writes the comedian Julie Klausner, author of a touchingly funny 2010 book, “I Don’t Care About Your Band: What I Learned from Indie Rockers, Trust Funders, Pornographers, Felons, Faux-Sensitive Hipsters and Other Guys I’ve Dated.” What Ms. Klausner means by “guys” is males who are not boys or men but something in between.
“Guys talk about ‘Star Wars’ like it’s not a movie made for people half their age; a guy’s idea of a perfect night is a hang around the PlayStation with his bandmates, or a trip to Vegas with his college friends…. They are more like the kids we babysat than the dads who drove us home.” One female reviewer of Ms. Kausner’s book wrote, “I had to stop several times while reading and think: Wait, did I date this same guy?”
For most of us, the cultural habitat of pre-adulthood no longer seems noteworthy. After all, popular culture has been crowded with pre-adults for almost two decades. Hollywood started the affair in the early 1990s with movies like “Singles,” “Reality Bites,” “Single White Female” and “Swingers.” Television soon deepened the relationship, giving us the agreeable company of Monica, Joey, Rachel and Ross; Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer; Carrie, Miranda, et al.
But for all its familiarity, pre-adulthood represents a momentous sociological development.

Tracy McMillan: Why You’re Not Married
– February 25, 2011Posted in: Misc.
This is a popular article that’s been making it’s way around facebook. Though aimed at women, as a guy “looking from the outside” she makes a strong argument.
1. You’re a Bitch.
Here’s what I mean by bitch. I mean you’re angry. You probably don’t think you’re angry. You think you’re super smart, or if you’ve been to a lot of therapy, that you’re setting boundaries. But the truth is you’re pissed. At your mom. At the military-industrial complex. At Sarah Palin. And it’s scaring men off.The deal is: most men just want to marry someone who is nice to them. I am the mother of a 13-year-old boy, which is like living with the single-cell protozoa version of a husband. Here’s what my son wants out of life: macaroni and cheese, a video game, and Kim Kardashian. Have you ever seen Kim Kardashian angry? I didn’t think so. You’ve seen Kim Kardashian smile, wiggle, and make a sex tape. Female anger terrifies men. I know it seems unfair that you have to work around a man’s fear and insecurity in order to get married — but actually, it’s perfect, since working around a man’s fear and insecurity is big part of what you’ll be doing as a wife.
2. You’re Shallow.
When it comes to choosing a husband, only one thing really, truly matters: character. So it stands to reason that a man’s character should be at the top of the list of things you are looking for, right? But if you’re not married, I already know it isn’t. Because if you were looking for a man of character, you would have found one by now. Men of character are, by definition, willing to commit.
Instead, you are looking for someone tall. Or rich. Or someone who knows what an Eames chair is. Unfortunately, this is not the thinking of a wife. This is the thinking of a teenaged girl. And men of character do not want to marry teenaged girls. Because teenage girls are never happy. And they never feel like cooking, either.

AshleyMadison.com — The Premier “Dating” Website for Aspiring Adulterers
– February 22, 2011Posted in: Misc.
What will they think of next?
Do you want to have an affair?
After hearing an ad on Howard Stern’s radio show or seeing a schlocky commercial on late-night TV, you might find yourself on AshleyMadison.com — the premier “dating” website for aspiring adulterers. Type in the URL, and as the page loads a gauzy violet backdrop appears with a fuzzy image of a half-dressed couple going at it beyond a hotel doorway. “Join FREE & change your life today. Guaranteed!”
Setting up a profile costs nothing and takes about 12 seconds. First you check off your availability status: “attached male seeking females,” “attached female seeking males,” or, even though the concept of the site is that all users are in relationships and therefore equally invested in secrecy, “single female seeking males.” Next you’re asked for location, date of birth, height and weight, and whether you’re looking for something “short term,” “long term,” “Cyber affair/Erotic Chat,” “Whatever Excites Me,” and so on. If you’re like me, you choose a handle based on the cupcake you most recently ate — “redvelvet2″ — and then shave a few years and pounds off your numbers.
Once you provide an e-mail address that your spouse would presumably never have access to, you’re thrust into Ashley Madison’s low-tech pink and purple interface. And then, if you’re a woman, the onslaught begins.
