Today I suffered the repercussions of too much food. I think Nicole and I are trying to recapitulate our childhoods, but +1. It’s a common malady, I think we need to decide enough is enough and just eat sandwiches.
But since I didn’t do the obligatory Thanksgiving post and because I still feel a little unwell, I’ll give you something short and sweet: a bulleted list. And then maybe a short pontification because that’s what I seem to do.
This article sparked an interesting conversation between my wife and myself. I’m mostly past the hangups I’ve had about gender issues, such as shame over being male, disillusionment with contradictory gender requirements, and other legacy crap from my formative years. Even so, at first I felt a little sad and uneasy at the anecdotes that indicated a significant, negative decline in male participation in the economy.
Everyone thinks they deserve a significant other. At least, everyone who talks about troubles finding a significant other seems to think so. I wonder at this.
So you’ve broken up with another boyfriend because he couldn’t commit (commit to you), or your last girlfriend was crazy (you couldn’t understand her motivations); the easy, caring response one can say is: “They’re just just not ready for you.”
