That office romance

By Jillian Lucas for HowAboutWe


It's incredible and bewildering that now there are so many rules. I recently attended an all-day course given by the company attorney on sexual harassment. You can't say she has nice hair or she smells good. Go straight to jail! Here are some rules, and I didn't dream them up. It's the kind of thing the mass-media blogs do between hard-news stories. Make up rules. Rollo never thought of this when he said yes to Vivi when she so generously gave him an opening. http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/9-signs-handle-office-romance-182800693.html

Rumors of Tucker Max's Retirement Greatly Overstated

Photo credit: Dimitri Vervitsiotis/Getty (on Daily Beast)According to Rachel Kramer Bussel in her Daily Beast blog, there's a new genre emerging. Shall we call it gray lit? Main requirement, you have to be able to read above tenth-grade level, which automatically deselects a large portion of the younger population. A further consideration, of course, is whether you are able to read safely with corrective lenses. Kindle and iPad versions might not be as popular with this demographic as retro paper, at least not until the public libraries join the 21st century and actually start loaning them out for free. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/07/09/erotic-lit-your-grandmother-will-like.html

You let her onto your porch and next thing you know she's stripping. This might every man's prayer, but, you know, sometimes the guardian angels get the message garbled...Gerald Everett Jones

Social Disparity for Female Breadwinners

Despite the fact that women have ascended to the 40th percentile of breadwinners, their wages still lag those of their male counterparts.  Is it respect, perceived self-worth, or some good old-fashioned machismo that women are lacking, causing their wages not to increase with their breadwinning abilities?   This is information that the Pew Research Center Analysis did not touch upon.

Social Disparity on Female Breadwinners

Eye Catching Erotic Fetish May Make You Blind

Practice safe eyeball licking, “oculolinctus”because you don’t know where your partner’s tongue has gone before!  The damage ranges from TB to herpes to corneal disease.  What if he or she ate some Thai or Mexican food just an hour ago?  Who thought this stuff up anyway?  Never mind, seems those kinky Japanese are at it again, pushing the boundaries of fetishes. What if this becomes "expected" behavior on the second date, like that other mandatory favor that tastes like sushi?  www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/12/eyeball-licking-pinkeye_n_3423985.html

Can Men and Women Be Friends?

Adrian F. Ward brings up the much debated question:  can men and women just be friends?  Ward’s opinion was “probably not” as a new study from Scientific American suggests that the conclusions are split by gender.  The study reveals that men find it hard to just be friends with women, while women are able to differentiate friendship more in platonic terms.  The results of the study suggest that men and women do have “vastly different views of what it means to be ‘just friends’ – and this can lead to “potential trouble.”  Even these results infer that men think with their other heads, even when it comes to a so-called platonic friendship.  Can women teach men to overcome this barrier or are their male friends just waiting for an opportunity to jump their bones if there is an opening in the future?

Why Can't Men Just Listen?

Photo Courtesy of Vimeo.com
Jason Headley’s video depiction on www.vimeo.com is the perfect parody of why men don't understand women.  In the video, the girl just wants to vent about the literal nail on her forehead, while the guy keeps advising her to take the nail out, since that seems to be the cause of all her problems.  He just can’t understand why she can’t listen to him.  The message is this to men:  Just listen and shut up!  Stop trying to fix my problems.  Any questions?  What do the readers think about this?  Can men really just listen or are they continuously thinking of ways to help us women fix ourselves and our problems?  www.vimeo.com/66753575Gerald Everett Jones
