Things Guys Think But Won’t Just Say

Things Guys Think But Won’t Just Say “Your family really scares me.”  Either the constant contact, or the gruff father, or the crazy sister… there’s some aspect here that he will never name (you don’t mess with a girl’s family) but it scares the sh*t out of him. “I’m not sure how good I am at that sex thing you seem to enjoy.” Whatever “that thing” may be, however much you’ve encouraged or praised it, he’s still not sure if he’s a pro at it and feels a little self-conscious each time. The female body is an elaborate and wondrous thing. “I’m not 100% where I want to be professionally.”  Who is, really? Even if he’s wildly successful he’ll still have ambition to continue to climb whatever ladder he’s on. The more a man says how amazing he’s doing professionally, the more insecure he usually is about it. “I have a body complex as well.”  He sucks in his gut every time he takes off his shirt and hopes you don’t notice. “I have occasional doubts about us.” ...

Not All Women are “Crazy” and not all Men are “Dick”

Not All Women are “Crazy” and not all Men are “Dick” Posted on Recently an article was published in  The Washington Post  noting that  men really need to stop calling women “crazy.” In the same vein as “bossy” or “slutty” this adjective is predominantly applied to women in a way that is meant to demean or undermine who they are. Typically when a man is going through a traumatic time, he’s referred to as “going through something,” or “acting a bit emotional,” but usually never “crazy.” This is one of two double-standard terms that I’d like us to end today. The other is calling men “dicks.” These two terms, “crazy” and “dick,” often come up when there is a break-up afoot. Imagine your best friend parting ways with her long-term boyfriend. You’re sitting there over drinks and she is complaining how things ended poorly. An easy go-to would be to say, “He sounds like a real dick. You deserve better,” and move on. I’ve found that in talking with friends in this situat...

What Lasting Relationships Feels Like

What Lasting Relationships Feels Like Posted on In the early stages of a relationship, everything will feel so sweet and so romantic… like a page pulled out of a splendid fairy tale. Sadly this giddy feeling often fades off at some point, leaving the partners stripped and wondering if they are still in love at all. This is usually the stage where many relationships crash owing to the fact that partners no longer feel the initial feelings with which they set out in the relationship or just because they fail to notice its presence. But according to couples who have been together for 30 years and more, this is what love feels like with the right person, the one with whom you can spend forever and still hope to have them, if given the chance of another life. Feels like you’ve known each other forever Mrs. Onyinye  says when she started dating her husband in 1984, it felt like they had known each other forever and even when they got married in 1985 it only felt n...

How The Media Fuels Sex Urge While The Church Spurs It On Posted on Have you ever wondered why there is so much talk about sex in the 21st century? Everything about a life is linked to sex and the woman. She is a poet’s dream. An artist’s impression. The lyrics of a successful male musician. The dance steps of a skilled instrumentalist and a photographer’s imagination. Her body is always dissected under the male purview. It has often been said: Woman is a necessary evil; a desirable calamity and a domestic peril. Love her or hate her, you cannot simply do without her. And you have often asked the question, what’s on a man’s mind? In this 21st century, the world is awash with a pandemic of sexual issues and the popular media over-emphasize scintillating topics as celebrity wardrobes, lifestyle of the rich, the famous and the infamous. The fashion magazines are filled with who’s hot, sexy, sassy, sensual, stimulating and s...
