jealous
The green-eyed-monster actually serves a useful purpose. In small doses, that is.
Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher recently wrote an interesting piece for Oprah.com about how jealousy is a deeply ingrained and even positive instinct infecting animals and humans alike. While excessive jealousy could certainly drive perfectly faithful partners away, she notes that picking up on a wandering eye has been a good reliable mate filter system. Read: To Ogle or Not To Ogle
Throughout our primordial past [jealousy] discouraged desertion by a mate, bolstering the family unit and enabling the survival of the young. At the same time, it has pushed us to abandon philanderers—and many … Read More
It's a really good policy to not neglect your friends when starting a new relationship.
Do you know what couples skating is? I'm sure you do. I'm sure that you've been both perpetrator and victim of this nefarious practice. Now that we all know we're in the same boat, let's discuss what couples skating is and is not.
Couples skating is not turning figure eights on an icy surface. Couples skating is neglecting your friends. Couples skating is not doing the now-outlawed Detroiter for the delight of fans and scorn of judges. Couples skating is spending five weekends in a row at home. Couples skating is not performing the legendary Iron Lotus. … Read More

New details are emerging as to what really set off the break-up between Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt. We suspected that there was a lot more drama behind this split.

Well, we reported yesterday that Paris broke up with Doug on Tuesday and by Wednesday had already moved on to Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. She was seen making out with the hot athlete at the Hollywood club MyHouse. But the news we’re hearing today suggests that Paris may have hooked up with Cristiano as a way … Read More
What Jillian Harris has taught us about dating more than one man at a time.
Fans of The Bachelorette will remember that Jillian Harris was cast off Season 13 of The Bachelor despite her fondness for single-dad-turned-serial-dumper Jason Mesnick. Not at all the mustard man Jillian was hoping for, Jason turned out to be total sauerkraut.
Moving past the picnic drama, Jillian is clearly ready to find love once again and has landed herself in the enviable position of dating 30 guys at once. As The Bachelorette swings into week 3, we examine what Jillian Harris has taught us thus far about dating more than one man at a time.

It's the aged old question—does he want to be friends or is he hoping one night I have one too many beers and my clothes slip off?
Despite CNN's 83% "yes" vote in favor of male and female friendships, there are generally two popular schools of thought on such an issue. 1.) Yes, of course men and women can be just friends. (says the woman) And 2.) Are you insane? Men want to sleep with anything moving and halfway decent and unfortunately you fall into that category. (says the man.)
Sigh.
CNN tackled this issue and had a plethora … Read More
She wants more time with her BFF, she's jealous of his lady friend and he is not her boyfriend.
Today I decided to implement a new feature, advice. I don't pretend to know all the answers, but I do know when I see advice I can't get with. Note to reader, I'm of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do school and think Gang Starr said it well, "It's often easier for one, to give advice. Than it is for a person to run one's own life. That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype." And that's what I like about it, it's easy. So, here goes:
Carolyn Hax, syndicated columnist, typically rocks some pretty solid advice. But last Friday's run … Read More
What makes some people who are jilted go completely crazy?
This is the saddest story ever: a 27-year-old man threw acid on the face of Iranian woman Ameneh Bahrami, blinding both her eyes, after she refused repeated marriage proposals from him.
According to CNN, her attacker, who is known only as "Majid," fell for Bahrami at college and his mother attempted several times to arrange a marriage between them. Bahrami refused and even lied to Majid, telling him she was already married. Despite her refusal, he stalked her at her workplace to harass her. She even reported him to police, but the cops said there was nothing they could … Read More

Dennis Miller's crackpot theory: Dem ladies are jealous of Sarah and Todd.
I smell some sour grapes...
Gawker's got a video clip of comedian Dennis Miller on Bill O'Reilly espousing a unique post-election theory: liberal women are jealous of Sarah Palin because she's got a better sex life than they do.
After proclaiming her a great "dame" (um, that's Madam Governor to you, Dennis), the comedian announces, "I think she has non-neurotic sex with that Todd Palin guy!"
Oh, Todd. That beard! Those tracksuits! The snowmobile riding!
The Alaskan First Dude doesn't do it for me, personally, but I could see how women who are into "manly-men" might want to shove … Read More
