What I Learned from What the Woman that Dated 100 Men Learned

This lady dated 100 men and learned something about life.

I learned that sluts like to kiss and tell.

New Year, Same Old Resolution

MSN is at it again. Consider the headlines on their homepage today, insisting that men have their own brands of depression and obesity. Of course, I didn't read the articles, but I can only assume that one of them says that men should be soft, while the other says we shouldn't.

Oh, and don't be deceived by "4 Things He Hates When You Stay Over" piece. Articles like this aren't reprimands -- they're strategies. In summary, "Don't touch his closet space, toiletries, and remote control . . . they are better ways to infiltrate his home!" Consider this exact quote: "Cleaning caveat: If you make the mess, by all means, tidy up (French-maid costume is entirely optional)."

Implication: Ladies, the way to a man's key hole is through yours. One good turn deserves another.

The Custody Battle: 2009

While many perceive President-Elect Barack Obama as a symbol of hope for the new year, I'm giving that honor to Dr. Richard Batista, the man that has demanded his cheating ex-wife give him the life-saving kidney he donated to her back. While doctors claim that the vengeful surgery is impossible, Batista may at least receive monetary compensation. Yet, even if the laws prohibiting anything of value in exchange for bodily organs applies, the fact that Batista outed his wife as a cheater in a world quick to reserve that judgment for men . . . you might not get the kidney, sir, but you've stolen my heart.

When Who Annoys Who Now?

It doesn't get any more obvious than this: "When Your Guys Annoys You . . ."

Here's an excerpt:

It’s normal to see more of your guy’s flaws over time — the key is not letting them infringe on your affection. “If you can organize your thoughts around his strengths, you’ll concentrate on him as a whole instead of on his imperfections,” says study author John Holmes, PhD, professor of social psychology at the University of Waterloo. He found that couples who do this stay together longer.

We’re not suggesting you try to love his annoying behavior. But you can learn to flip your thinking so you look to the positive. Here, three ways to master the girlfriend mind trick.

John Holmes, I brand you a traitor! Why not write an article about the boyfriend mind trick, eh? You know, the one that helps the average man survive trick questions like, "Do you find her attractive?" or "Do I look fat in this outfit?" Like that isn't annoying . . .!

The Mid-Wife Crisis

An excerpt from MSN's latest anti-male treatise, "Mid-Wife Crisis: I'm Dreaming of Divorce."

. . . Will [isn't] the Very Bad Man that I've made him out to be. Rather, like every other male I know, he is merely a Moderately Bad Man, the kind of man who will leave his longboat-sized shoes directly in the flow of our home's traffic so that one day I'll trip over them, break my neck, and die, after which he'll walk home from the morgue, grief-stricken, take off his shoes with a heavy heart, and leave them in the center of the room until they kill the housekeeper. Everyman.

How the Terrorists Won

On a day that's supposed to bring this country together, why does MSN insist on tearing us apart? Consider this image from their latest emasculating lifestyles article. The implication: women are relationship-builders, while men can only destroy them -- nay, "send her running," undoubtedly with something he did wrong. Further, Oprah's topic today, "Why Men Cheat," really "closes the deal" . . . the terrorists have won. They brought down two of America's most prominent phallic symbols, and now we keep doing it for them.

A Tangled Web . . .

Check out this screen cap from today's Hotmail homepage. Four, count 'em, four headlines demeaning the state of America's male. Sheesh.
