Are the NBA Playoffs Disturbing Your Relationship?

OK guys, you want to stay in and watch the NBA Playoffs on your new 50 inch HDTV. But your better half wants to take a stroll outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

So here's a solution. Go outside at halftime!

It's May!

May is one of the best months to start a new relationship. As the flowers and trees are blooming, more single men and women are motivated to find someone to share the beauty of nature with.

So log off your computer and get outside!

Penny's Lovers

With all the available actresses in Hollywood, I wonder why the same people continue to be cast on my favorite shows.

For example, there is Sonya Walger. Anyone notice that on "Lost" Desmond looks eerily like a cross between Penny's (Sonya) two "lovers" on "Flash Forward," Lloyd Simcoe and husband Detective Mark Benford? Her taste in men have come a long way from Mickey Barnes ("The Mind of the Married Man') and Palek ("Tell Me You Love Me"). Yet no matter who the man is, she always gets that same dreamy, loving look on her face?

At least she doesn't lose her head, like what happened to her in "Sleeper Cell."

Enjoying March Madness?

March Madness, otherwise known as the NCAA basketball tournament, often is a key stressor in relationships. Many men want to totally wallow in the tourney, watching games, planning and discussing their brackets, etc.

At the same time it often interferes with some of the first days of Spring, when guys' "better halves" want to enjoy the outdoors together as a couple.

All I can say is good luck in trying to figure out how to best spend those sunny weekend afternoons. The couples who can work out compromises are the ones with the healthiest relationships!

Readers Write about Height

Lately I have gotten more feedback from my column on women discriminating against short men. The column was published in August, 2008!

Here are some exerpts:

"I am currently dating the loveliest man who is 5'4" and I am 3 inches taller at 5'7" and I used to be a woman who wanted someone at least the same height or taller, but after I started dating him I soon changed my mind....I have recently spoken to a very single female friend (single for since forever ie 10 years) who to my face said she could never go out with a small man like my boyfriend as lovely as he was. She wants a big man of 6ft plus and she is 5'4 herself and shorter than me. I can not understand why I who is for a woman well above average in height has no problem with it yet a shorter woman can't."


Her advice for short men included the following:

"I would advise any short man to play strongly on their talents, their career, think cool motor bike rather than family sized wagon, think big, plus they can always go to the gym and transform into a small bundle of muscle and not give a stuff what those silly women think."
