The month of February features a holiday in which a bunch of hicks in Pennsylvania look to a rodent for weather predictions. Yet Groundhog Day is still not the dumbest holiday in the month of February. That honor belongs to Valentine’s Day.

Now I am not one of those angry, lonely people who get bitter every Valentine’s Day because I can’t get laid. I’m engaged and I still hate the holiday!

So why do I think Valentine’s Day is one of the dumbest holiday’s ever? Here are a few reasons…

IT’S AN ARBITRARY DATE
February 14th has no significance to me. Nothing special has happened on this date. No one I know was born on this date. It’s not our anniversary. The U.S.A. didn’t storm the beaches of Normandy on February 14th. So why should I care? There’s no reason to celebrate. Valentine’s Day has as much significance to me as Arbor Day. So how did Valentine’s Day come about? Why is it on February 14th? (more…)

In the 2001 movie Training Day, academy award winning actor Denzel Washington, plays a crooked cop who owes money to the Russian Mob. In one of the final scenes, when Denzel’s life is in danger, he utters one of the most famous movie lines in recent history saying, “I run shit here, you just live here!…King Kong ain’t got SHIT on me! (see clip below)

In the world of relationships, make no mistake about, Women run shit. Men just live here.   Most men claim to wear the pants but in actuality all women control the relationship. 

Despite the best efforts of women, we are still a male-dominated society.  Women still make less money than men on average, males hold more high-level jobs and women are continually portrayed as sex objects on television. (For the record, I’m not saying this is how it should be, these are just facts).

However, once the man enters a long-term relationship, those inequities no longer apply because women hold the one key that tips the relationship scale in their favor…THE VAGINA. Despite the best efforts of George Constanza and other men, we have no upper hand, because if we do anything wrong, the woman will withhold entry to the best place on Earth.  For this reason, men always have to make a conscious effort to be on their best behavior.

Sharing your home with a woman presents a number of challenges. As someone who just recently began doing this for the first time, I am discovering new challenges every day. Perhaps the most daunting task I’ve faced is completing a perfect run to the supermarket. 

As the man, you are often the one sent to the store to pick up some groceries for dinner. To the distant observer this would seem like an easy task, however, it is far from it.  Since moving in with my fiancé, I’ve been sent to the store dozens of times and I have yet to complete the perfect supermarket run.  Whether it’s forgetting something, buying the wrong brand or picking out bad fruit, I always mess something up.

The pressure mounts with each trip to the market.  I know if I screw something up I am either getting yelled at or sent back to the store…or both.  As I’m browsing the aisles, the tension grows.  Even the most basic items turn into a guessing game for me. This is my thought process for about every item on the list… (more…)

A recent University of Montreal study on the effect of pornography on young men ran into a roadblock when it could not find a single male who hasn’t watched porn.

This should come as a surprise to no one.  ALL MEN watch porn.  I bet those “saintly” Duggar kids even watch it.  They just won’t admit it. 

The researchers wanted to compare the views of men in their 20s who have watched porn compared to those who haven’t.  Since the researchers could not find a single male for the study, they decided to focus their research on the effects of pornography.  (more…)

This is the second part of a two-part series called Engagement Ring Buying Guide. In the first section, I discussed what you need to do before and after you buy the ring. Today, I’ll get into the specifics of finding a good ring and getting the most for your money.

Everything you need to know pretty much boils down to the 4 C’s. (more…)

It’s the holiday season, which means there are probably a lot of poor bastards out there who are thinking of proposing to their girlfriend.  If you are one of those guys, be sure to read this engagement ring guide.  As someone who has gone through the process of buying an engagement ring—and now a wedding ring—I can say I have learned a lot.

Today, I’ll focus on what you need to know before and after you buy the ring.  A few days from now, I’ll get into the specifics of finding a good ring such as the 4 C’s, how much to spend, and what features to avoid. (more…)

A while back, I wrote a post called TV Shows you can Watch with your Girl.  The idea of the post was to find shows that you and your girlfriend/ spouse/ fiancé/ mistress etc. could watch together.  However, as the boyfriend, there are plenty of times you get stuck watching TV shows you can’t bear to watch. 

For me, most of those shows are on the Lifetime Network.  When I come home, Lifetime is on. When I go to bed, Lifetime is on. It’s gotten so bad that I am starting to see repeats of these shows.  It’s because of this network that I no longer feel bad subjecting her to nine hours of football on Sunday. 

To help you guys out, I am going to break down all the shows I am forced to watch. Some are on the Lifetime network, while others are not. If your girl ever puts any of these shows on, take the advice of Biff Tannen: Make like a tree and get outta there. 

I will rate each one on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being the most tolerable and five making you want to jump off a bridge.  Click on the links to video clips if you dare.  (more…)

Yesterday, I gave you the ten most overrated celebrities.  Today, contributor Frank Wheeler give you the ten most underrated celebrities.  

These girls have flown under the radar and it’s about the time they get the attention they deserve. Frank and John have a different opinion on one girl who manages to appear on both lists.  Click read more to find out who that is and to check out the rest of the babes. (more…)

There are a lot of hot celebrities out there for guys to drool over and fantasize about. For some of these women, the attention if well deserved, for others it is not. For whatever reason, there are a number of undeserving celebs that are widely considered to be some of the most beautiful women alive.

These celebs are often appearing on People’s Most Beautiful People or some other list of hot women. Whether it’s because they are in a few big movies or they frequent Page Six, these women get more attention for their looks then they really should.

Therefore, I have compiled a list of the ten most overrated celebrity hotties. Tomorrow Frank Wheeler will have the most underrated celebrity hot girls.

Before I start, let’s just get one thing clear: All these women are attractive. If I wasn’t engaged and somehow I was presented with the opportunity to sleep with one of these girls, I wouldn’t hesitate to make a romance explosion on their stomachs. I just feel they are a little overrated.

Also, to all the feminist, pro-women people who may read this and think this is sexist, chauvinistic, overly critical and degrading to women— well that’s fine. You’re probably right….but keep the negative blog comments to yourself. Thanks. (more…)
