“Can I borrow your condo for a night?” my friend Penny asked on the phone.
“You want to borrow my condo,” I repeated.
“Right,” she confirmed.
I thought for a moment. “I’m assuming this somehow involves sex, but it… Read full post »
Pakistan may be a terribly fragile, nuclear-armed state, riddled with terrorism, crime and corruption, featuring a disintegrating economy and horrendous capital flight. But at least they’re cracking down on a top priority social problem: na… Read full post »
I’ve been getting to know my own country again. A break from overseas projects has given me the opportunity to travel closer to home. Instead of more exotic places, I’ve been spending time in places that are entire… Read full post »

I know men like music. And music logically leads to dancing. And dancing logically leads to sex. So what’s the problem here? Why don’t men dance?
I’m not talking about ballroom dancing, though it’… Read full post »
Look, I adore you, New York Times. Absolutely love you. I read every page, including about things that I’m completely uninterested in, such as opera, or gay bathhouses, or… Read full post »
What a relief. You’re normal again, bloggers. No less an authority than the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the ultimate global arbiter of whether you’re nuts or merely kooky, will soon declare that narcissistic personality disorder doesn’t e… Read full post »
NEW YORK – A cache of thousands of confidential email and text messages provides an unprecedented inside look at the private life of half-assed blogger ManTalkNow. Provided to WikiLeaks by an anonymous source, the material sketches an unflattering profile of a stubbor… Read full post »

(What a naughty scarlet letter...)
The French are always a valuable source of important data about women. This week, France-based Smartdate, an online dating service, released some news sure to cheer lazy men looking for shortcuts in the hunt for compliant partners.
I flatter myself as worldly, educated and as relatively gnostic. I am a polyglot. I can name all the countries of Africa, and have been to a number of them. I scored 100% on the recent Pew Research Religion Quiz, and I’m not even an atheist.
But nearly… Read full post »
Ray, people will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past.

There’s a part of every man that we don’t talk about much. The capacity for violence. Sudden, crashing mayhem. Letting the beast come out to play.
We’re not un-evolved creatures, no. We know right and wrong. We have control. M… Read full post »
I don’t listen to my married friends anymore when they complain about their sex lives. I just tune out and think of less boring things, such as Jay Leno jokes, the speeches of Senator Harry Reid, or the décor in my accountant’s office.
In fact, I refuse&n… Read full post »

I consider myself a thoroughly modern fellow. I’m young enough to be comfortable with novel things, and old enough to have visited many of the world’s odder nooks and crannies. So when Leen… Read full post »
Back in 2010, I saw the future and I prepared for it. Flying was going to be different and I was going to be ready.

It’s a sound that inspires an instant, primal fear. It has featured in this world for barely a hundred years, but it may as well have been with us since we left the trees.
