What men's comments on a Wall Street Journal article teach us about the art of sharing.
It is possible to share too much.
That's according to an article on The Wall Street Journal's website. And if you didn't believe the article, reading the comments by wsj.com readers is great proof.
The article details a fight over a sponge between a Arizona couple. There was a sponge left in a sink which led to an argument and accusations about bad housekeeping, among other things. In this scenario, the woman called her boyfriend's bud to come over and calm him down.
Mark Zuckerberg has a few ground rules if you want to date him.
The boy-billionaire behind Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is dating a lovely young woman named Priscilla Chan. In order to make things go smoothly, the 2 have established a few ground rules to how this thing is going to go down.
Perhaps best exemplified by Diane Keaton's wardrobe as the title character in 1977's Anne Hall (pictured above), asserting gender equality through fashion is nothing new. Whether masculinity's re-emergence reflects the state of the American female mind or is simply a well-received fad remains to be seen.
For many women today, flirty, feminine looks provide the same level of confidence that pantsuits once did. Luckily, dresses are sharing the spotlight this spring with manly duds, so we can channel Annie one day, Holly Golightly the next.
Once taboo, more men are speaking up about their right to alimony.
As more men are receiving alimony payments from higher-earning ex-wives, they face the same "gold digging" reputation that divorced women either battle or embolden.
The Wall Street Journal yesterday profiled a number of formerly married couples whose divorce terms awarded the man either a one-time payment or monthly alimony. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 33% of wives outearned their husbands in 2005, and the amount of males receiving alimony payments increased 50 percent from 2001 to 2006.
Forget your credit cards. What the latest rash of identity thieves is after is your clever turn-of-phrase. According to a recent feature in the Wall Street Journal, cut-and-paste personalities—in which the dull and ordinary crib anything from crafty headlines to entire profiles from the unsuspecting and witty—is the new black market.
But cheaters never prosper, and their odds of getting laid aren't looking too good either. Consider the brainiac who borrowed the phrase, "I write award-winning operas" for his own dating profile. Only, halfway through their first cocktail, his date realized he wouldn't know Pavarotti from a Pinot, and he was forced to 'fess up.
Some people don't have time for dating. They have too much work to do to meet people in the traditional way. This becomes a problem eventually. So they're able to use their big bucks to buy premium service. That's where high-end matchmakers come in. For only $20,000 they'll give you 18 months of help. If you break it down, it's still pretty expensive.

Michael Hickey knows better than to try to start a conversation with his wife when she gets home from work.
After a hard day at the office, "I'm definitely too tired to talk at night," says Karen Ambrose Hickey of Palo Alto, Calif., a senior marketing director. "I put up a brick wall." Michael, an engineer, says he's resigned: Regardless of what's on his mind when Karen comes home, he says, "you just have to wait" until later. Finding time to talk is "an ongoing struggle."
