A few weeks ago, I was dining with some friends, a couple, who ended up arguing in front of me. The fight lasted all night.

A buddy of mine only dates women who are much younger than he is, and he's constantly surprised and heartbroken when the relationships don't work out. He's in his mid-30s, and I don't think he's dated anyone older than 25 for several years. He's not a wealthy guy, but he's well-established in his... Read more

As always, I issue this disclaimer: I'm not qualified to give advice. I don't have any training, and very little compassion. I am a jaded... Read more

I was recently scrolling down my Facebook feed, and felt the sudden urge to vomit all over my keyboard. Read more

This week I'd like to address something that I find disturbing and pervasive in long-term relationships: the cheat list. Most people involved in a lengthy monogamous relationship have one. For those unfamiliar with the concept, it's simple: You and your partner compile a list of anywhere from one... Read more

I recently donned my anthropologist's hat and stepped out of my tiny, sad apartment for a little field work. I arranged to meet up with a group of rowdy girls. The idea was to hit the town with them to see firsthand how they go "hunting." Read more

A few weeks ago, I wrote about a friend whose relationship was derailed by presumptions and some overreacting.
