ATTENTION Women: Here's a Special Note for You

Being that yesterday, March 8, was International Women's Day, and considering my viewership on this blog is almost exclusively female, I thought it apropos to submit a post today honoring all you wonderful ladies. Without you, this blog wouldn't be what is it today -- a forum and platform on which we not only exchange thoughts and ideas freely, but help one another get through life's toughest battles.

To all the moms on the blog: Thank you for all the sacrifices you've made -- and continue to make -- for your children. I will forever be indebted to my mother, grandma, aunt, and sisters -- all amazing women who molded me into the man I am today. I've said it before and I will say it again: Should I ever have a child, I would want it to be female so that I have the opportunity to pay what they've done for me forward.

Whether you're married, divorced, single or childfree, each and every one of your voices is highly valued here. The fact that many of you have forged strong friendships with each other here is nothing short of gratifying. Thank you for your insightful comments, idea

Even though I'm a man, I stand firmly in support of women's rights, and no one gets more joy out of seeing women make progress in the world -- like earning higher salaries in the workplace -- than me. If I wish the best for my wife, sisters, and daughter (should I end up having one), why wouldn't I wish that for all the other women in the world?

Please share this blog with your friends and relatives. Let's work together to make the site the go-to place on the net for great advice and delicious food for thought!

Women vs. Men: Who likes to backstab more?

Whether it's on TV or in the workplace, the general consensus seems to be that women gossip, backstab, and stir up more conflict than men do. But, as with every other topic, I thought it only fair to put this so-called stereotype under the microscope. If you watch reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice, you'll notice it's the women who spend far more time bickering. While the men do at times become embroiled in tit for tat, it's the women who are portrayed as meaner and more hostile. In the workplace, I have noticed that women seem to gossip far more than their male counterparts. I haven't really seen any cases where a person blatantly backstabs the other, but I have caught both men and women in little white lies. If it is true that women are generally more into backstabbing and gossiping than men, why is this the case? I believe that it isn't fair to make a blanket statement like "all women play these games while all men keep to themselves and pre...

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

Men prefer to marry brunettes

Study after study shows that men prefer blondes as girlfriends or mistresses and brunettes as wives . It seems many men see brunettes as more trustworthy and loyal. What's more, even though participants claimed that blondes are better in bed, they feel brunettes are better kissers and more affectionate than blondes. I find these results to be rather interesting. In my high school and early college days, I actually had a preference for blondes myself -- that is, until I hooked up with my now-wife. From that point on, I deemed brunettes as more attractive and marriage material, probably because they reminded me of and more closely resembled her. I think we can blame Hollywood, shows like Baywatch, and Playboy for painting blondes as wild, big chested, promiscuous and loose. (Yes, I know that there are brunettes in Playboy, but they seem to be in the minority.) When someone tells a man to think of an attractive blonde, who do you think likely crosses his mind? More likely than...
