    Manslations News Roundup: Cheaters-Never-Win Edition

    Welcome back, my friends, to the Manslations News Roundup series that never ends. It’s Friday, and you all know what that means. Let’s do this thing…

    So THAT’s who those moronic car-with-a-giant-bow-on-it commercials are targeting…

    What You’re Googling: “HOW LONG SHOULD A WOMAN MAKE A MAN WAIT”

    I get this one quite a bit — and this search term probably brings you to my post about making first contact after a date or this one about the man who never calls. But I think this googler is asking about when to have sex. And as a native Connecticutian (pronounced kuh-neh-tuh-KYOO-shun) — albeit [...]

    The Case of the Disappearing Romantic: A Reader Request

    A reader named Caroline has what seems to be a very common request for me to manslate: Wha Happa? He was there, he treated me like gold, and then he was gone. Since Caroline has promised in no uncertain terms to “worship” me in exchange for a Manslation, here we go. (Seriously, I’ve always thought [...]

    Reader Request: Playing it Cool(?)

    A reader named Connie is looking for some advice on a situation that, in my manslative estimation, has likely gone on as isĀ  for a little too long. She writes:
    Back in early June 2007 I said to a coworker “Have you seen any good movies lately?”
    His response: What would you like to see?
    Me: tongue tied [...]

    Manslations Reader Request: 16 Years Old and Frustrated!

    Welcome back to another week at Manslations.com. Today, I’m tackling another reader request. We’ve got a young lady named Karina (second Karina this month, for those of you who keep track of such statistics. Anyone? No?) who is confused by her male compatriots.
    (Manslator’s Note: She didn’t use the word “compatriots.” I’m beginning to think I [...]

    Manslations News Roundup: Self-Love-Obsessed Burglar With ADD Edition

    People, Friday has come, and not a second too soon. I need to sleep. But before I do, how’s about some Manslations News Roundup action? Yes? Let’s do it.

    Another Fine Google Search: “can men stop cheating”

    I did a post a little while back about men and cheating, and it spurred quite a bit of conversation on the subject. One thing we didn’t totally cover is this question (which somebody googled to get to Manslations):
    Q: Can men stop cheating?
    A: Yes. But the real question is, WILL they?
    And the answer to [...]

    Manslations Reader Request about Faulty Gay-dar…from a MAN?

    Hello there, ladies. And, apparently, gentlemen as well…
    I received a reader request from one of them — a dude! “Eric the BeehiveHairDresser” has a “friend” who gets hit on by guys all the time, and he wants to know why. Let’s see if Manslations can help.
    I know I like to put the reader requests in [...]

    A Litmus Test for Potential Dates? Lucy F. Votes YES

    Awesome children’s writer/blogger/daredevil dater, Lucy F., wrote a great post about how she has occasionally brought men to “open mic nights” as a litmus test of their dateworthiness. They’d not only see her do some high-larious storytelling onstage, but they’d see all the OTHER freakiness that happens at an open mic, and she’d be able [...]

    Why Don’t Men Clean Up After Themselves? A Reader Request

    Welcome back, manslatees! I got a request from my Danish pal, Karina. Karina cuts my hair. During my haircuts, she and I have often spoken of her frustration with her man in the “chores” area. We touched on this a little in my response to Amy Pacheco’s frustration with HER man. But Karina wants [...]
