It's true: Men don't want women to lose TOO MUCH weight

And I'm among them.

My wife is currently on a diet and has already lost a good 8 pounds. While I commend her for eating healthily and making a stronger effort to hit the gym, I often remind her that I'd prefer she not shed too much weight. She knows I have never been attracted to overly skinny women. If I had the choice between thin and a few extra pounds, I'd choose the latter.

There's something to be said for a woman with curves. A woman's body is what I find to be one of God's most beautiful creations. Emaciated women, though, don't rank too highly on the attractive scale in my book. Unless a woman is seriously overweight, there's no need for her to lose an excessive amount of weight.

As I've noted in earlier posts, I think Hollywood and the media are to blame for pushing this idea that only very thin women are considered beautiful. I respect those men who agree, but I feel differently -- as do many men out there.

Some of us appreciate women who have amply-sized breasts, a big rear end, curves, and a nice set of not-so-skinny legs. I have felt this way since I was in elementary school. In fact, the girl I had a big crush on in the third grade happened to be the girl who developed the quickest -- in more ways than one.

So for all of you women who think you need to look like a stick in order to attract men: Here's news for you. There are hordes of men out there drawn to women who come in different shapes and sizes. Don't sell yourself short only because you might be a few extra pounds. While I always encourage people to watch what they eat and put in some exercise every week, women who come with a little extra something -- more cushion for the pushin' -- may actually score a few extra points with many guys out there.

Indeed, some men just want more to love!

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...
