Over the last few months, I’ve been searching for a way to explain why I feel my views on dating are a little different than what most “relationship experts” are preaching on the Internet. I think that’s it’s perfectly fine to have several list posts or “what you need to do” articles circulating the Internet, [...]
Often times people find themselves in situations without having figured out all the details. It’s almost like when people accept a job just to have a job without asking all the questions that you need to know in order to determine if you’d actually like to be an employee of that company. Well, I [...]
Each one of these could have been an individual post here on SBM, but it’s really not worth the series. This is a quick list of eleven things I’ve learned about relationships, dating, love and all that other stuff over the years. It never became clearer to me than in the last few weeks when [...]

As some of you saw last week, I had an interesting discussion in the comment section of Dr. J’s post, Are Male Bloggers Helping or Hurting Women? While you can read that particular thread for yourself, the main take away for me was a challenge to better outline how men’s actions contribute to the failure [...]
It was very difficult for me to put my finger on what I would discuss in my fourth installment of my series, Combating the Female Fear of Rejection. I knew that I wanted to focus the article around how men play a part in the female’s fear of rejection, but I wasn’t sure how that [...]
We all do dumb things when we’re in love. Men and women will love their partners to death, but they just can’t resist doing the oddest things to show it. I created a list of asinine actions that women do in relationships, and then I realized men do the opposite and neither is right. [...]
Jennifer Lopez guest starred as Anita on “How I Met Your Mother.” She played the author of a popular book. When asked to summarize her book, she responds in one word: “No.” By saying “no” consistently, Anita argues women empower themselves while making men just desire them more.
