The Bachelor Finale, Would You?

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 20:55:19 +0000

If you don’t watch ABC’s The Bachelor then you’re probably asking, “Would I what?”. Before I explain my question, let me just say first hand that I don’t watch The Bachelor either. I find it insulting and highly degrading that Women would subject themselves shame just to find a guy. And these Women aren’t the kind of desperate whory Women you’ll find from Bret Michaels’ Rock of Love. The Women from The Bachelor all look decent, intelligent and professionals. But for some reason they think it’s ok to go on a reality show to find a husband. Anyway, I only found out what happened on the show last night because Elizabeth from The View spent about 20 minutes painfully reliving the nightmare that was The Bachelor finale.

Apparently, The Bachelor’s decision was controversial. See, Jason Mesnick dumped the girl named Molly for the girl named Melissa. But wait, during the finale reunion, he changed his mind, dumped Melissa, and then went back to Molly. Oh My Gosh! I know that there are still a few Men out there who act like dogs but I don’t know anyone who would do it on national TV for millions to see. And to think this Bachelor is a Father. Being a Single Dad was the major factor of the show. The Women were all just itching to be the stepmother of the little boy.

Now if you are a Man reading this, my question is, would you dump a girl (cry your heart out about how much it hurts to do so) for another girl, and then dump that girl to go back to the other girl?

If you are a woman, would you accept the proposal after you were already dumped and humiliated?

I could go on and and on about what a jerk this Jason Mesnick is but the show had women who wanted to be his “wife”. They said Love is blind, but come on now. There are also the things called brains, decency, self-esteem, self-respect and oooh I don’t know, match.com or eharmony.com.

Having said all that, I have a conspiracy theory going on in my head. What if it wasn’t The Bachelor’s decision to go this way? What if ABC instructed him to dump Molly, pick Mellisa, then dump her and then pick Molly? It’s a twist for the TV ratings my friends. The show needed a MAJOR ta-daaaah moment to keep the viewers glued on TV.

This will then make Melissa, the next Bachelorette who will find her own Man after being dumped on TV. It’s the best scenario for a the next season. Hey, I’m just saying.

Like I said, it’s a theory so please don’t sue me for libel, or whatever. I hope you enjoyed the “Womanizer’ video that a perturbed fan made and posted on YouTube .

Now the trick is how to make your loved ones Valentine’s Day unique and special than any other Valentine’s Day celebrations in the past. How about getting naughty and romantic at the same time? Let’s start with Playboy. You can’t get naughtier than that .

If your Lady is a wine drinker or a wine connoisseur I’m guessing she would absolutely love these Playboy High-End Collector’s Series Wines. As soon as I saw the bottles, I was sold. Those bottles are HOT. The wines retail individually from $90 to $380 or a 1 year subscription of $1567. A little pricey but these are unique Valentine’s Day gifts that any wine connoisseur would love and appreciate. You can find them at Playboy Wines.

For a playtime session, how about slipping this Playboy’s Miss February necklace on her neck? Any woman who says they don’t like being a Miss “hottie” of the Month is lying, hehe. Sure you can opt for a Tiffany ring but we’re going for naughty and romantic here so a “Miss February” necklace would do nicely . A little playfulness never hurt a relationship. It actually makes things fun and interesting. BTW, this Playboy’s Miss February necklace is only $24 from Shop The Bunny.

Tuesday’s Joke : 1-2-3…………4

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:03:10 +0000

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a joke. It’s hard to find something funny out there these days. Heard, read and seen ‘em all before, yah know. But I figured I should at least make an effort to pst once in a while. I know you miss them so, hehe!

On my 60th birthday, I got a gift certificate from my wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a shaman living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.

After being persuaded, I drove to the reservation, handed my ticket to the shaman, and wondered what I was in for. The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to me, and with a grip on my shoulder, warned, This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say ‘1-2- 3.’ When you do that, you will be more potent than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want.’

I was encouraged. As he walked away, I turned and asked, ‘How do I stop the medicine from working?’

Your partner must say ‘1-2-3-4′ the shaman responded. But when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon.

I was eager to see if it worked I went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited my wife to join me in the bedroom. When she came in, I took off my clothes and said, ‘1-2-3!’

Immediately, I was the manliest of men.

My wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. And then she asked, What was the 1-2-3 for?

And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition.

*SOURCE

Sorry Man. Better luck next time, hah!

The Ultimate Great Male Survey

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:00:32 +0000

Who else could conduct the ultimate Great Male Survey but AskMen.com themselves?

Over 75,000 participants answered the survey and let AskMen know what they really think of various topics. What they eat, drink, crying Men, video games, cars, fashion trends, dating, sex, sex with a co-worker, fat girlfriends, paying for dates, “wife potential”, gf’s e-mails, divorces, grooming, Money and all that good stuff. Did any of you participate? The survey quite got into the nitty gritty of things. Interesting. Women should read it as well.

And here it is : The Great Male Survey from AskMen.com

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.

Will Smith Can Do No Wrong In My Book

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:23:35 +0000

Image details: Dinner In Honour Of Nelson Mandela – Arrivals served by picapp.com

Will Smith, he’s great guy, a loving husband, wonderful (and fun) father, talented actor and has an innate quality when it comes to Men’s fashion. The cut of the black suit he’s wearing is perfect for his lean body. I LOVE the purple silk necktie. Seriously, I can’t say anything else that all of us don’t already know about Will Smith. I can’t wait to see his new movie, Hancock. I have no doubt in my mind he’ll dominate the July 4th weekend again.

Whenever the world (blockbuster movie) needs saving, call on Will Smith.
