Dude, Your Wife Sent Me a Letter…

Don’t ask me why she did this, I’ve never met her. I would guess she’s been hanging out on the internet and read something I wrote that got to her. It happens. After I read her letter, I began to understand why she is telling ME all of this instead of YOU – which is an obvious question. How did I know your email address? She ended up giving it to me when she signed you up for my newsletter without telling you. (she shouldn’t have done that) You can undo that by unsubscribing to the newsletter. So I’m forwarding this to you, brother. All I can say is that … Continue reading →

Building MORE Intimacy: Handling Conflict Like a Man!

I recently read about a study on the LiveScience website titled, “Women Prize Men Who Try to Understand Their Emotions”. My first reaction was, “Well, no kidding!”. But as I read a little further and understood the nature of the study, one conclusion stood out for me. It is a counter-intuitive reality that men need to understand. Women value a man who expresses either positive or negative emotion in response to conflict. The Harvard Medical School study researcher, Shiri Cohen, reported that, “The fact their partner is experiencing any emotion, even a negative one, is still good news to women. This is consistent with what is known about the dissatisfaction … Continue reading →

Heads, Married. Tails, Divorced. Call it in the air…

By: Steve Horsmon Knowing the fate of your marriage is a “coin flip” away. Seriously. Just find a coin and grab your wife and give it a toss.

The Great Testicular Heist!

By: Steve Horsmon The thing I like about sensational titles like “The Great Testicular Heist” is that they tend to make you open the book. So….gotcha. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The fallacy in my title is that it implies somebody’s balls were actually stolen. What really happened is that THOUSANDS of men simply left their balls unattended, laying around the house like spare change, or otherwise unsecured. Yes, the alleged “thieves” are their wives. But that’s like calling a man a thief for using his neighbor’s garden hose to extinguish his neighbor’s burning house – with the neighbor standing right there. If he wasn’t going to use the … Continue reading →

No Intimacy and a Saddlebag of Excuses

By: Steve Horsmon How’s your intimate life going these days? Rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a passionate and physical inferno of mutual trust and satisfaction. If you gave yourself a rating of 7 or less and you WANT to improve, the cause is probably in your “saddlebag of excuses”. Before you read on, remember, I said I’m assuming you actually WANT to improve. I’ll get to the saddlebag in a minute, but first, what exactly do I mean by “intimacy”? It’s different for men and women, but not that much. For men, important demonstrations of intimacy include the gamut of actions and emotions … Continue reading →
