Women, by nature, are very self-critical about their looks. If you don’t believe me, just look at the amount of money we spend on getting our hair done, skin products, weight-loss programs, clothes, and plastic surgeries each year. “Being more beautiful” is big business in America, and our culture perpetuates the notion that if women aren’t beautiful, they won’t be successful, they won’t keep a man, and they won’t be respected. So… it’s not entirely our fault that we sometimes become obsessed with our appearances, develop eating disorders, and wind up being very insecure.

We can spend time complaining about how unfair it is for society to put pressure on women to be physically perfect, but chances are, we’re not going to change it. You probably just want that one special girl in your life to be a little less insecure about herself, [...]

The Key to Communication in Relationships

Categories: Hilarious, Sex and Relationships.

Sometimes relationships are like floating on a raft in calm, warm Caribbean waters on a sunny summer day, the scent of hibiscus wafting on the soft breeze, the taste of salt on your lips from that frosted margarita melting in your hand…

Other times, relationships feel more like a trek through the Amazon jungle, your body exhausted from whacking away at endless undergrowth with a rusty machete, mosquitoes landing on your neck and arms, sweat soaking your shirt under a relentless sun as you cautiously watch every step, hoping a snake or some other life-threatening creature doesn’t pop out from seemingly nowhere, unexpected, on your way to a destination you’re not even sure exists.

Christopher and I, deciding we much preferred the …

What’s happening? Am I in the Twilight Zone?

Today I, with great enthusiasm, logged on to see who had made People Magazine’s List of the Hottest Bachelors of 2007 (not because I’m looking for someone else, babe, I’m just tired of us lying in bed and having to peruse the pages of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue over and over). The first image I saw was one of dreamboat Matthew McConaughey wearing only swim trunks and carrying a surfboard. Yes, yes, I thought. We’re off to a great start… Excited, I clicked to the next picture.

My excitement quickly waned as I clicked through photo after photo of celebrity men that have about as much sex appeal as… well, …

5 Sex Facts About Men You Didn’t Know

Most of what you think you know is probably wrong.  Let me share the real numbers on five areas of men’s sexual health. The answers may surprise you.

Sex on the Brain
The idea that men think about sex every seven seconds, like the claim that we only use 10 percent of our brains, is often repeated but rarely sourced. The number doesn’t bear up against scrutiny. According to the Kinsey Report (Sexual Behavior in the Human Male), 54 percent of men think about sex every day or several times a day, 43 percent a few times a week or a few times a month, and 4 percent less than once a month. Even though the Kinsey Report relies on men …

Does love at first sight exist or not? It’s an interesting question. If you’d asked me that when I was sixteen, I would’ve said yes. Not because I’d fallen in love with someone at first sight, but because I was hoping that someday I would. I mean… honestly, what could be more romantic and efficient than two people simply seeing each other, falling in love without all the effort and insecurities that go along with ‘getting to know someone’ (Does he like me as much as I like him? Is he really the kind of guy I want to be with? Do we have enough in common? Why doesn’t …

9 Simple Relationship Rules For Women

Posted on May 19th, 2007 by Christopher.

Keep your Jealousy in Check - Don’t expect men to all of a sudden become Stevie Wonder at the first sign of an even remotely attractive woman, w have radars, the kind that are so sophisticated that the CIA is envious and they can spot a pair of nice legs a mile away. Being slightly jealous is sweet, but being possessive doesn’t cut it. Granted, there are plenty of men who suffer from the same problem, but that’s a whole other bag of worms best suited for Christine. My advice to women on this topic is simple: unless your partner is undressing a woman with his eyes, don’t say anything and move on.
