Sorry Guys, But You’re Most Likely To Die First

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:00:22 +0000

Hey, don’t kill the messenger here. Apparently, researches have proven that Men Die First. Here’s a description from the book, Why Men Die First by Marianne Legato :

Dr. Legato shows how the forces of culture and biology conspire against male mortality. Drawing on the latest research and narrated through the lives of her patients, she delves into problems that both men and women care about– from why the male fetus is at greater risk, to why boys have a hard time adjusting to school, to how elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol make men more prone to aggression and why they are more likely to die from cardiac arrest or cancer and even depression.

Stepping away from the Health aspects for a minute, there are reasons why Men could die first. Let me count the ways :

If you’re cheating on your partner, if she doesn’t kill you with her 4 inches heels, she’ll likely kill you with alimony, child support, years of blame for being the reason why she hates Men, hence a lifetime therapy that you’ll probably be paying too. Monetary and emotional blackmail.
You’re likely to die first if you’ve been divorced too many times. You can’t even handle 1 woman, how the hell do you think you’ll handle 5 ex-wives?
And if you’re stupid enough to have kids with each woman because you’re too proud (or coward) to get sniffed, that means lots and lots of child support, different days of visitation, your kids hating each other because Daddy spent more time with one child than the other. The ex-wives will step up and before you know it, you’re bald like Dr. Phil.
If you haven’t accepted that “Yes Dear” works mysterious ways, then you might as well start digging your own grave.
And if it isn’t obvious enough, SHE KNOWS BEST!! Live and Learn!! =P

All kidding aside, get the book and learn how to avoid dying first, the healthy way. And what do you know, it’s a Woman Doctor who’s trying to save you guys, AGAIN. Imagine that.

The Brave Men At The Sex and The City Pink Carpet Movie Premiere

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 28 May 2008 13:13:12 +0000

Sex and The City : The Movie has been dubbed as the chick flick of the year, or the universe if you ask all of the SATC fans, present company included . Even the Press has jumped into the bandwagon, could a women dominated movie make it into the Blockbuster’s list? Will SATC kick Iron Man, or Indiana Jones off of the top. I say the more the merrier. Men are just as part of the SATC phenomenon as much as the girls namely Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda are. Sure they have their own lives, careers, clothes, shoes, but they also had Men. And lots of them, heh. So let’s not discount them yet, especially when they were also at the SATS Movie Premiere in NYC, on a pink carpet no less

What’s the point of this post? Isn’t it obivous? If these Men could watch Sex and The City : The Movie, either by themselves, or with their wives/gf, respectively, you could too. So unless your Lady has made plans to watch it with her girlfriends, surprise her by taking her to the theater yourself on May 30th. Suck it up. Don’t make her wait for the DVD. She’ll appreciate the gesture

Love Tips : 9 Words That Women Use

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 26 May 2008 13:11:17 +0000

Just in case some of you haven’t gotten the 9 Words That Women Use in your inboxes, respectively, here they are. Learn it and Live it. For the Women out there, you know some if not all, are true .

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do It.

The rest of the the 9 Words That Women Use after the fold…

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you. Do not question, or faint; just say you’re welcome. I want to add in a clause here: This is true unless she says “Thanks a lot” – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say “you’re welcome” in this case, for that will bring on a “whatever”).

(8) Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying screw YOU!

(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has asked a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response refer to # 3.

Do You Still Live With Your Mama?

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:27:57 +0000

*Image Via Amazon.

Talk about a very appropriate topic, Men Living with their Mamas on Mother’s Day . I was perusing my current GLAMOUR magazine issue(Salma Hayek in the cover), and I stumbled upon an article about whether a Woman should date a Man who still lives with his Mom.

Did you know that in Italy, Men who live with their Moms is prevalent. The rents are so high yet not enough job to pass around so they go back to where Mama is. It is such a problem that the government stepped up by proposing a tax break for such Men.

Here is the US if a Man still has the same address since grade school, it’s almost like a plague. Some Women stay away from men like this. You’d be surprised to know that this issue is more cultural. In the Philippines, it’s not uncommon for grown Men to live with their parents. Even after college and they’re already making money of their own. Oh yes, some Filipino Men may talk the talk, walk the walk, cute and all, but beware coz Mama’s house is still where they sleep, eat and live. Most of them even move their families later on in life. One huge happy family. See, this is shun upon in the American culture but not in the Philippines or some other countries. It’s pretty much a tradition. Somehow.

If you’re still living with your Mama, not that it’s any of our business, heh, you might want to think of the future soon. Unless of course you’re caring for an ill Mother or you’re setting up something huge for the future, I think it’s time to have your own space, own room that never once had a car bed, yah know, grown up stuff. That is if you want to start dating of course. Not all Women like to share their space with a possible mother-in-law. Especially after you said I Do. Besides, the feeling of having your own place is awesome. Save Mama’s house for special occasions

Hey, just a thought . To be fair, would you date a Woman who still lives with her parents?

10 Sexy Things To Say To A Naked Woman

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:29:32 +0000

Ever wondered what the right words are to say to a naked woman? If you’ve been with your partner for a long time, obviously, you’ve know what the 10 sexy things to say to a naked woman. A woman wouldn’t stay with a Wam-Bam-Thank-You-Ma’am kind of man. Well, confident, happy, committed, and mature Women anyway. Hmmmm, or maybe not. I don’t know. It depends which Woman I guess. I’d like to believe that once a women approaches the age of 30 that she’d prefer commitment over one-night-stands. But that’s just my “ideal” world, heh. So ignore me? . Anyhoooo, Men’s Health compiled a list and here’s what they have to say on the 10 Sexy Things A Man Should Say To A Naked Woman with my own comments of course.

1. “It’s Ok for Us To Go Slow”. Definitely. Ever heard of a thing called foreplay?

2. “This heart-shaped freckle on your right inner thigh is so beautiful“. Compliments. If she has no freckles, well, I’m sure you”ll find a cute feature to focus on.

3. “You“. I’m guessing coz some Women love to be the center of attention?

4. “You kiss great, _____” . Coz Women love affirmation that they’re doing good, perhaps?

5. “I’m going to take these off“. Yes, stop asking whether you should do something, be errr, dominant and just do it.

The rest after the fold……..

6. “You make me think dirty thoughts“. This could be a little tricky though. Some Women might not like hearing dirty things while in the middle of sex. So I guess it depends how well you know your lady.

7. “I want to make you feel good“. But of course. Women always comes first. *ahem*

8. “Next time, I’m going to take you on the hobbyhorse“. It’s called the “afterplay”. Just as relevant as the foreplay.

9. “You amaze me“. Again, with the compliments.

10. “Let me get back to you on that“. Ala Sean Connery on Entrapment. Rule #2, Never trust a naked woman. Women knows when they’re being BS’d. So don’t make commitments about going camping or going to Disney World with the family just because she’s naked in front of you. She knows better so be careful and honest. She’ll appreciate it more.

Well, there you go. I’m sure you guys have known these all along. If not, I hope the list helps .
