I found an interesting article for divorced men who are re-entering the dating scene. It’s written by Leah Ingram for Match.com. If you know a divorced man, who could use some help, then you might share the list with him. For some reason, men find us women complicated, on occasion. Silly, silly guys. Women aren’t that tough to get.
Divorced Guys: 8 Dating Rules

Rule #1: Women want to be listened to and heard.
Rule #2: Women expect some level of chivalry, even in our modern world.
Rule #3: Women want compatibility, so emphasize your common ground early in the relationship.
Rule #4: Don’t rush the …read more

Learned something new from Men’s Health Magazine today… 
If you are out with your girlfriends and open to meeting someone new don’t ”huddle” together. It intimidates men. I can see why it would intimidate them, but honestly, the word “huddle” brings to mind a group of giggly high school girls. Kind of a silly word.
Scan the room like Ben Roethlisberger. “Huddling behavior means they’re closed to outsiders,” says Dennie Hughes, a relationship expert and the author of Dateworthy. Your best bet is an outward-facing group or a line of women doing their own scanning. Aim for groups of three women or more, so no one ends up alone.

Image via WikipediaLet’s say you’ve been perusing the online personals, and you meet a guy and start chatting over instant messenger. Things are going great, hours pass and you’re loving every second of it. There’s an electrifying connection between you, it seems. You two seem to have a lot in common, he’s cute, funny, and intelligent. He talks about more than his car/hunting/sports/etc. and it revolves around things you find really awesome.You really want to talk to him on the phone. You want to meet him. You want to sip coffee and people watch.
Take this from me, girls… one who’s …read more

Image via WikipediaI was flipping around the Cosmo site today and found this: What His Favorite Superhero Reveals.
To break it down to smaller statements, here we go…
Superman: the quintessential “nice guy” — he’s loyal, believes that people are inherently good, and is always ready to save the day. The problem-solver, the knight in shining armor, you get the idea.
Spider-Man: the underdog of all superheroes. As Peter Parker, he’s sensitive, completely responsible, and a bit nerdy. Chances are he’s emotionally open, never late, and always feels the need to the do the right thing. He might be kind of uptight though, …read more

I know a nice man named Brett. Brett and I work together at an elementary school, were we spend three recesses a day watching kids. We both really enjoy the job, Brett even more than I do. He calls it, “Taking a break.” Brett lives his life with a bunch of women; his wife, his twin 13-year-olds, and while his Grandmother does not live in the same house she does live right next door.
Today Brett told me that they were all coming down on him. The girls were cranky all weekend, his Grandma was in tears just before work, and he and his wife had a “major blow-up” first …read more

Know a man who could use some pointers on women and/or sex?
Men’s Health Magazine has an online Men’s Health TV edition with helpful videos. He can learn the best way to produce a sexy and not over-powering scent, how to use email to woo his woman, or why he should skip the texting and use his phone for a call if he’s looking to bump up the intimacy in his relationship.
In addition to relationship tips, Men’s Health also covers fitness, nutrition, and how-tos.  Each video is a quick minute long – just right for a quick brush-up before an important date.

Fellow b5media Lifestyles blogger Marye Audet has written this fantastic post about how men can make their wives “wild with desire”. I say that any relationship could use a little more spice like this, obviously only once you get to the point where you’re living together, or spending lots of time at each other’s places.

Do you think that women are the only ones asking the question, “Do these pants make me look fat?” I did and apparently I was only part right. While reading an opinion piece, by Mike Zimmerman, on Male Body Image in Women’s Health Magazine, I learned that men do worry about body image, but men according to Zimmerman, “…will, however, check the mirror and wonder, “Do these pants hide my gut enough to get me laid?” It’s the same thing fundamentally, and it defines that irresistible logic gap we all try to leap: If the body looks like crap, recalibrate the …read more
