This is my favorite current commercial. It’s hilarious, mostly because the male actor perfectly captures that sorry excuses that most American men are when it comes to romance. About 99.9% of the guys I know could be sitting in the sports fan’s chair.

If you are a married man, you’ve probably experienced this scenario. You and your wife are friends with a couple. You innocently mention to your lovely bride that you are going to have lunch, or a beer, or play golf with the male member of the couple. When you return home afterward, your spouse bombards [...]
That Pesky Inner Jonny Quest

Hey, ladies! Do you ever wonder why . . . well, why men seem so stupid? Why men seem to crave taking dumb risks? Why men go sky-diving, and bungee jumping, and engage in X Games sports when they could be curled up in cozy pajamas, drinking warm cocoa with marshmallows in it and having [...]
(Not) Thinking About Sex

Here’s something else that makes me proud of my alma mater — researchers at The Ohio State University have studied how often male and female college students think about sex. Thank God that our scarce scientific resources have finally been directed at that crucial, too-often-ignored topic! In any case, the study debunks the canard that [...]
Taking A Stand Against “Manorexia”

In England, there is concern about “manorexia” — that is, males dealing with anorexia and bulimia and other eating disorders. Apparently statistics show a 66 percent increase in the number of hospital admissions for males with eating disorders in the last decade, and it is now thought that one in five people experiencing eating disorders [...]
Neckties Flapping In The Breeze

In the eternal debate between men and women about which gender is required by convention to wear the most ludicrous and uncomfortable business attire, one point should be beyond dispute — in a windstorm, the men’s necktie takes the prize for the most annoying article of clothing. Venture outside on a hot, blustery day, and [...]
Hats Off

Here’s a significant difference between men and women: men could never spend hours discussing whether wearing a white hat to a wedding is appropriate. Three of my favorite women in the world have spent the last hour or so researching the issue, consulting etiquette websites, analyzing whether the size and shape of the hat is [...]
Hair Cells Are Weird

After years of thoughtful reflection and careful observation, I’ve concluded that hair is weird, and I am convinced that hair follicles are among the most perverse cells found in the human body. At some point in a man’s adult life, the hair follicles in the ankle and calf area just quit working. As a consequence, [...]
Evolution Of Wusses

This article argues that modern males are pathetic – slower, weaker, with less stamina and body mass than our evolutionary forebears. The evidence of this is a bit skimpy — relying, as it does, on one set of fossilized footprints that indicate that a long-ago aborigine, dubbed “T8,” ran about 40 miles per hour, as [...]
