In this pic, try to identify who is more alpha: i’m banging a hot russian gymnast half my age. and you? 90% of alphaness is telegraphed through body language, eye contact, facial expression, nonverbal vocalization, and voice tonality.

My neighbor was sitting on the stoop smoking a cigarette, bike messenger cap propped at a jaunty angle, looking morose. I stopped to say hi.

As I’ve said before, marriage as it is currently constituted is the worst deal imaginable for men: You give up on all other women forevermore only to run a better than 50% risk that the aging pussy you’re stuck with will walk off with half your money and the house on nothing more than her … Read more

Hoping to prove to myself that I am a badass nonconformist, I read through all 76 entries to date at the Stuff White People Like blog and tallied up my score to see how many applied to me.

Standing in the last minute Valentine’s Day checkout line at the supermarket with twenty other men carrying roses, cards and chocolates, I paid for my one economy sized bottle of grape seed massage oil. They eyed my purchase curiously. Suckers. *** Behold the world’s funniest (and most bitingly insightful) new blog: If you are a blue … Read more

In my post on morality I offered a few thoughts on the shifting sands of moral certitude: If you had the power in your hands, would you kill in such a manner as to ensure maximum pain and suffering a. 10,000 Indonesians if it would save your lover’s life? b. your lover if it would … Read more

This made me laugh. A female friend and I were at dinner recently when we both admitted something that, under normal circumstances, would get us kicked out of the female species. Neither of us thought less of Tom Brady for having a baby outside of wedlock with Bridget Moynahan while juggling a burgeoning relationship with … Read more

I had this friend who was a money-chasing alpha in the financial sector. He kept a framed crisp dollar bill and a magazine photo of a random hot blonde hung side by side on the wall in his room. If you asked him why, he’d say, pointing to the girl and then the dollar, “She’s there to remind … Read more
