TV Over Sex

Surveys about what we would prefer more than sex aren't new, but they're always interesting, and here's the latest: 57% of German women would rather give up sex for a YEAR rather than miss out on their favorite TV shows. 62% of men, on the other hand, would wave 'bye-bye' to their TV sets.

Do You 'Have It All?'

How would you define 'having it all?' Women have heard since they were babies that you can 'have it all,' but what does that really mean in 2012? Ann-Marie Slaughter wrote a really, really, really long piece in Atlantic called "Why Women Still Can't Have It All." Slaughter, who worked for the State Department for two years before quitting to be with her family, wrote about her discovery that  'having it all' is hard.


"I'd been the one telling young women at my lectures that you can have it all and do it all, regardless of what field you are in. Which means I'd been part, albeit unwittingly, of making millions of women feel that they are to blame if they cannot manage to rise up the ladder as fast as men and also have a family and an active home life (and be thin and beautiful to boot)."


What does it mean to 'have it all' for women? For men? Is it different? Just something to ponder.


Wedding Spending Way Up for Women

This study is out of the UK, but I'm pretty confident it can be carbon copied here... it turns out, when it comes to wedding budgets, men are willing to spend more than their bride -- at least that WAS the case. Before the economy tanked in 2007, men actually budgeted more for their wedding than women, but since 2007, men have lowered their expectations. But get this -- women haven't, and even worse, women have added 50% to what they originally thought they wanted to spend on their wedding! Guys want to cut costs everywhere, from the band to the bachelor party. Brides, on the other hand, have doubled their budget expectations for the entertainment and venue.

Signs Mr. Wonderful is Cheating On You

The love experts at YourTango.com came up with a list of "21 telltale signs your husband is having an affair." Yes, 21, enough to make EVERY wife paranoid. Here are a few indications from the experts, along with a reason, from a real guy, why you shouldn't immediately call your lawyer)

He takes or makes phone calls in private. (Article:  "if your partner retreats to the other room every time the phone rings, there may be something more going on, especially if this behavior is new or has suddenly become more frequent. ". A guy's take: If you have a house with kids and a busy job, you need privacy. It may be nothing.)

Hidden email or social media accounts (Article:  "if you discover additional email or social media accounts, things are almost certainly not good." Guy's take: I have an additional email account I use when registering for  new websites. I opened it to catch all the inevitable spam that will come my way. The wife doesn't know about this stealthy account.)

He avoids family or other social events (Article"  If your partner avoids social gatherings or activities, leaves early or arrives late because of some project or task, there may be a strong chance that he is spending time with someone else." Guy's take: Wait, we're leaving early from our mother-in-law's birthday party? We MUST be cheating! Avoiding family events, especially if it's extended family, just means "we're guys")

He suddenly spends tons of time with another person. ( Article:  "If your partner is suddenly spending a lot of time with a colleague, co-worker, friend or even an acquaintance, particularly if that person is of the opposite sex." Guy's take: Um...yes, we're cheating. Better get on that.)

Let's Roll!

News about the economy continues to be depressing, but that won't stop us from hitting the road! A TomTom survey found that 61% of us are planning a vacation this summer, which is up from 56% last year. Budgets are tight, though, with most of us spending less than $1200 total on vacation, and 7 out of 10 travelling by car.

Beer Drinkers are More Willing to Have a One Night Stand

Don't spread this around, because if everyone knows what I'm about to tell you, then it won't work. Here are the only questions you need to ask that will tell you if a potential mate is, #1) willing to have a one-night-stand, and #2) long-term-relationship-material.

Take note -- here's what to ask on a first date:

Best question to predict a one-night-stand:

"Do you like beer?"

According to a study from OK Cupid, a person's fondness for beer was the single best predictor of their willingness to have a one-night-stand. Both men and women who enjoy an iced cold brew are 60% more likely to sleep with someone early in the relationship.

Best questions to predict if they have long-term-relationship potential:

1) Wouldn’t it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?
2) Do you like horror movies? And
3) Have you ever traveled around another country alone?

These sensation-seeking questions will open up something about that person that you may or may not like.
