A few days ago I wrote about The Justifying Zone, that slippery slope that women can find themselves on when they stick with a guy so that they can justify their emotional or sexual investment, even if they recognise that that the relationship is doomed. A couple of male commenters raised the point that sometimes [...]

The Justifying Zone is that slippery slope that a lot of women find themselves in, especially after they have sexual contact with a guy. Many of us feel that we need to justify our emotional and sexual investment and this justification is effectively attempting to close the door after the horse has bolted.

Over on AskMen they are discussing Why Women Cheat and naturally I have my own take on it.

It may not be for the same reasons, [...]

Normally I would attribute these words to a woman, but on this occasion, it is to Ben, someone who claims to be amongst a growing number of men who just aren’t into booty calls. Say what?

I admit that despite vowing never to watch the damn thing again, for three months each year, I find myself compelled to tune into Big Brother (the UK version). It doesn’t matter that I pathologically dislike the bulk of them; there is just something so interesting about watching people who really only desire their one [...]

My friend Annie Dennison Ph.D over at Smart at Love is discussing the issue of complimenting, or inadvertently insulting a woman. One of her readers approached a woman and complimented her on her ‘hourglass figure’ and ended up with a very pissed off woman snapping at him and slapping him across the face. Laughter aside, [...]

Ever wondered why women attract emotionally unavailable men? Here’s a crash course to the basics:
1. Be emotionally unavailable yourself…even if you don’t know it
2. Be secretly afraid of commitment…even if you make noises about wanting a relationship
3. Have very bendable standards that accommodate his dubious relationship habits…because this is what ‘unconditional love’ means
