Close-Mindedness
December 28th, 2008"Why do you think people are close-minded?"

"What a close-minded answer," my friend answered.

Guy Code
July 27th, 2008
"Bros before hoes, dude, bros before hoes."
- Some guy
- Some guy
An intricate filament weaves through the nebulous psyches of Y-chromosome-bearing hominids. A fiber that is as delicate as it is tenacious. I'm talking about, duh, Guy Code.
I Don't Get Chicks
June 22nd, 2008"I just don't get chicks."
With a coffee in hand, I leaned back and regarded my friend. "C'mon man, who really ever gets chicks?"
"Did I tell you about that date I had last weekend? It was with this girl I really liked, but throughout the date, she didn't seem that interested in me?"

June 15th, 2008"What's that in your hand?" she asked.

Are Men Intimidated By Independent & Successful Women?
April 7th, 2008Are you a well-educated, intelligent, independent, and successful woman… who is still single? You're not alone (no pun intended).

On Being Solar Powered
March 30th, 2008I was in London when I first realized I was solar-powered. It was a curious sensation. Daylight was as rare as a tasteful meal there (except for Indian food). The gray skies drained my batteries, leaving me sluggish and unenthusiastic. It probably dried my humor too.
Men Are the New Women
March 23rd, 2008"There's that phrase again."
"What phrase?" I sat forward to listen to the TV.
"Men are the new women. I heard it on another show a few weeks ago."

February 24th, 2008Whenever people read about the science of love, it usually leads to one of two conclusions:
