Like many people, I’ve spent most of my life yo-yo lifting. I’d swing from being in great shape to fairly bleh. And whenever my figure was off and my psyche was taking a beating every time I looked in the mirror, I’d read everything I could about the “best bodybuilding workouts” — all in an […]

Embracing Death A few days ago my wife had a dream that I died. I had had a heart attack. Collapsed right in front of her. I won’t lie, I found it a little funny. I have a relatively morbid sense of humor and don’t take my own death too seriously. But she could barely

Been working with one of my clients recently on his troubled marriage. It’s a challenging situation to say the least. The usual occurred: Guy makes some big mistakes that kill comfort, guy responds to his mistakes with placating actions that kill desire. (Read: The 2 Sources Of Relationship Conflict) Basically, the more he’s talked to her,

One thing that fascinates me to death about this corner of the internet is the number of guys who, after learning how to attract women, get involved in sales.

Even if you haven’t watched the films, you probably have heard the expression (or some derivation of it) before:

Full disclosure: I’ve got nothing against social media. It’s a huge ecosystem with a TON of benefits. I’ve met like-minded people I’d have never met otherwise, kept in touch with friends I probably would have lost, and reached tens of thousands of strangers who would have been out of reach. In fact, I don’t know where

Did you know 10% of wine drinkers are responsible for 91% of wine sales in the United States? Yep, that’s right — “daily wine drinkers” are the sobs that prop up the wine industry with our need for a “fix” of grape juice. The other “marginal drinkers” who only indulge on special occasions make up

Spend enough time in this corner of the world, and you’ll hear plenty of bitter men talk about how girls aren’t attracted to “nice guys.” Allegedly, they only like assholes — people who treat them like shit. *Not* the gentlemen who treat them well and take care of them. Is this true? Like most things

Ever had a woman turn you down for sex? No, I’m not talking about a girl you’ve been trying to hook up with… though of course that happens from time to time.
