I can’t believe I’m going there

Tiger Woods!

“A” and I have had a couple of discussions over Tiger Woods recently. “A” seems to think all men are sex addicts and he doesn’t understand why Tiger being addicted should be any different.

The point I make is that yes, every man likes sex – and wants it a LOT – but the addiction part comes into play when it becomes destructive to life as you know it.

I’m sure we all have an addict lurking inside us somewhere – but to have the integrity and strong will to keep it from destroying us or those we love is where the real strength in character shines.

Reading the Rules

Written by Annie on December 1, 2009

No new dates lately. I think I already dated the only guy anywhere near my age, in my part of the state. Lots of old guys out there. I have nothing against old guys. I look forward to spending time with them when I’m an old gal, but I am not there yet.

All the Rules MichelleI ordered a couple of books. The first is a book that a friend of mine swears by. All the Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right, by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider.

So far I’ve read a page or two of the intro. I’ll probably be quoting it here soon – both the good and the bad parts. I don’t want to “play games,” but apparently men like a little of that. They want to feel like they’ve got to work for us. Silly boys.

Hes Just Not That Into You MichelleHave you read The Rules?  What do you think about the book? 

Have you read He’s Just Not That Into You?

Now, that’s a useful book. I wish I could give  copy to every woman out there. We make so many excuses and put up with so much crap, when really he’s just not that into us and we’d be better off on our own, where Mr. Right could actually find us.

I’m rereading He’s Just Not That Into You right now. I’m seeing so much of my most recent ex in there. The funny thing is that he thought he was into me, but in reality, not so much. We text and I can tell he wants to try again, but why?  I’m not going to be a different person, he’s not going to suddenly be into me after all.

Okay, time to get reading.

Single Parenting and Hot Semi-Single Coaches

Written by The Divine Ms. G on November 16, 2009

My kids participate in school sports. I think it’s great they do – it builds character, instills sportsmanship among a host of other fine qualities. Not to mention the coach is kinda hot too! And, well, umm, there might be a few hot single dads that attend these functions too.

I remember the day when I’d stand in front of the mirror, primping it up to go out to the night clubs nowadays I get cleaned up – not too much mind you – to attend my kids sporting events.

Is it bad of me to look at the coach in such a way? He’s technically single!

By technically I mean he’s been dating the same girl for a couple of years. I can’t go into great detail on the situation – but it’s obvious he’s creating barriers and blocks that would prevent their relationship from progressing to the next level – or even to a serious level.

Perhaps it’s just me questioning my own relationship and wondering if the grass is greener when a coach is on it.

Who ever thought my kids sporting events would turn out to be my modern day definition of a meat market?

*sigh*
