    Reader Request: The Progressively Pervy Dude? Why?

    Ladies, this is a record. I think this makes four awesome questions from Manslations All Star Loiralei. (People will say we’re in love, Clareeeeece.) Here’s another excellent question. What happens when he starts off normal, and then becomes…NOT — sexually. A sort of…sexual wolfman, if you will. (Hey, it’s Halloween, people. Get in the spirit [...]

    Reader Request: He’s Being a Little Too…What’s the opposite of forward?

    Well, today I think we’re looking at a guy who, for some reason, will NOT take his foot off the brake. Formal and polite, seemingly to a fault. Marianne writes:
    I met Devin online through a dating website.
    We met for a (non-alcoholic) drink, had a pleasant conversation, then went our separate ways. There was no indication [...]

    Reader Request: Red State/Blue State Brain-only “Romance”?

    Today, we’ve got a request from Noelle — a liberal who has set her sights on a hardcore conservative. And a somewhat confusing one. (Well…a MORE confusing one.) Let’s see if we can’t figure out what’s going on:
    Dear Jeff,

    I’m a Democrat, he’s an ultra-conservative Republican. I’ve been dubbed his “intellectual friend. ” [...]

    Manslations News Roundup: I-Draw-The-Line-at-Cannibalism Edition

    Well, well, well. Here we are again. Another Friday, another Manslations News Roundup. Are we going to get started? Yes. Yes we are.

    ROBERT RODRUIGUEZ WANTS ROSE MCGOWAN TO PLAY BARBARELLA. EVERYBODY ELSE? MMMM…NOT SO MUCH.

    Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez appears to be losing ground in his battle to cast his new fiance in the title role of [...]

    Reader Request: Internet Pre-jection and the Gracious Response

    Hello again, lovely manslatees. I got a request from someone named Sian (cool name!) who was “prejected” while internet dating — or was she? She also appears to have requested advice on this very situation from my blogger pal Terry — you can see her response to Sian HERE. It’s ok, Sian. I’m not jealous [...]

    Are Men Inherently Unfaithful? A Reader Request

    Hey there, Manslatees. We’ve got another short-n-sweet question from our all-star requester, Loirelei. (But as usual, as brief as her question IS, it’s still a really complex question. Sigh. Thanks a LOT.) Loirelei writes:
    Chris Rock once said, “A man is only as faithful as his options”. Seriously, are ALL men basically “man whores”? [...]

    Reader Request: An Appropriate First Move…?

    Heather from the website “Just a Moment” (where she, like me, has expressed an interest in odd Googling behavior) has a question about what men find appealing in a woman, and what’s a good first move. Let’s see if we can give her a hand here. She writes:
    What’s the most appropriate first move with a [...]

    The Twoface Pulls an Anger Smokescreen: a reader request

    Today, we’ve got a reader request from Tara, who is perplexed by the disconnect between what a man says and what he does. Specifically, this guy was with her, but kept an active online dating profile. Yikes! And when she called him on it, he went apesh…uh…excuse me…apecrap? Sure, why not? He got pretty mad, [...]

    Manslations News Roundup: Another Ingenious Aussie Pervert Edition

    Welcome back to yet another installment of my weekly tradition: The Manslations News Roundup. In it, we see a dead ostrich, talking butts, (another!) freaky-deaky Aussie dude, and we begin with the return of LiLo. Let’s go!

    LINDSAY LOHAN STEALS ANOTHER WOMAN’S FIANCE. A LONE PERSON, SOMEWHERE, WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR IT.

    You know, I missed Lindsay [...]

    Are Men Intimidated by Women who can Hold their Own?

    Blogger and frequent commenter, Susan, has a question I have heard now and again about the male response to “strong women.” She writes:
    I’m an intelligent, independent, attractive woman — and have a host of other charming qualities. (I’m also quite modest when not writing.) Nonetheless, I often feel that the majority of men aren’t looking [...]
