• Darling, Should I Cry Over Spilled Milk?

  Aaron Ben-Zeév, Ph.D.

  6 Nov 2009 | 7:29 pm

  "There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?" (Sophocles) "Never cry over spilt milk, because it may have been poisoned." (W. C. Fields) "It doesn't matter how much milk you spill, just so long as you don't lose the cow." (Mark Guilbeau) Are emotional attitudes such as love liable to harbor regrets or dwell on past alternatives or what might have been? Intellectual considerations assume that this would constitute a waste of time and resources, but lovers quite often do experience regret or mourn lost romantic opportunities. Is there any sense…

• Spree Shooting and Emotions

  Thomas Scheff, Ph.D.

  6 Nov 2009 | 5:18 pm

  Why did Nidal Malik Hasan and other spree shooters murder their victims? One approach would concern the cybernetics of emotion involving recursive loops of shame and anger.Self-generated loops of shame alone are commonplace among those who blush easily. They report that the awareness of their blushing generates embarrassment, that in turn generates further blushing, and around and around, sometimes leading even to paralysis.Since normal emotions are extremely brief in duration, a few seconds, the idea of a feeling loop opens up a new area of exploration. Emotions that persist over time have…

• Lonely Men Commit Mass Murders

  Stanton Peele

  6 Nov 2009 | 5:04 pm

  A mass murderer has been discovered each of the last three days.  When we examine the men's lives, we are struck by their loneliness and yearning for intimacy, which leads some to strike out in bizarre and violent ways.November 4, 2009. The home of Anthony Sowell, 50, a convicted sex offender, was searched, revealing 10 bodies, along with one skull.  Mr. Sowell had served 15 years for sexual assault. Since 2005, he had lived alone in the top floor of a duplex in a shabby Cleveland neighborhood. Police had come to Mr. Sowell's house because a 21-year-old woman reported that he had…

  I was once told that I shouldn't have kids, because the child could be born with Asperger's, like me.   I answered with a question - "Would you have given the same advice to my parents?""Well," came the answer, "look at all the difficulties you've had, and the pain you've had to endure...surely you wouldn't wish that on a child."  Well, it's true that living my life with Asperger's has often been difficult.  Yes, I have dealt with my fair share of pain and rejection... In a perfect world I wouldn't want a child to go through the same issues.  But I also had to…

• Resisting the urge to gossip

  Irene S. Levine, Ph.D.

  5 Nov 2009 | 7:43 pm

  It's easy to get caught up in gossip. A friend or colleague starts talking about someone you both know. She lays out some juicy information you haven't heard before, almost baiting you to chime in. Whether it's true or not, you reflexively up the ante by spilling a rumor you recently heard about that person, too. Later, you wonder why you responded that way or even regret that you got sucked into the conversation.To some extent, it's human nature to talk about mutual acquaintances and most chitchat is innocuous. When two friends pass along information about other people within the context of…

  Been with my girlfriend for 2 years. Recently she said she wanted a break as she was not sure this is what she wanted anymore and that she's having doubts. But she said she still loves me and don't know what to do.We had a break of only about a week, during which she rang every night, sometimes in tears.

• Should You Accept His Apology?

  Here is a common pattern that occurs when problems arise in relationships:  get hurt, argue, resolve, apologize, move on.  If you are in a relationship where you seem to argue quite frequently, you are probably more familiar with this pattern than others.  If you are in a serious relationship you don’t want to break up everytime you have an argument, so you just let it all out, apologize, then make-up and move on.  But maybe there is something more that you can be doing to cut down on the frequency of these occurrences in your relationship…maybe an apology is not the right end…

  We’d been talking for a few weeks before meeting. I’m not fond of trying to kindle a relationship with someone living 1000 miles away, but he had certain rare attributes I’ve been looking for in a partner, but unable to find locally. He arranged to stop in my city on his way home from a business trip. At dinner, he was as charming in person as on the phone and IM. We laughed and talked easily as we already knew a good deal about each other. He was a perfect gentleman, sharing his delight about our meeting and never trying to force more intimacy than a first meeting…

  Chupah I attended a lovely Jewish wedding last weekend. The bride was resplendent and the groom handsome as they stood under the  chupah in front of the rabbi (the bride’s father) and the cantor (her god-father). Outside at sunset, the family and friends stood ringing the couple on the grass. The cantor’s sweet singing, including a song he wrote for the bride, soared in the crisp evening air. Candle luminaria lit the lawn on which we all stood, and a lone guitarist strummed entrance and exit music. I’d arrived early, and my friend (the bride’s mother), showed me and another couple…

• An awkward situation

  Dating Goddess

  23 Oct 2009 | 7:40 pm

  In midlife dating, we sometimes encounter situations that are just too awkward to have a ready-made answer. I remember one from early in my dating re-entry. I wish I could forget it. I’m not sure I would have an easy answer if it happened again. The gentleman and I were dating a few months and neither of us were exploring dating others, not because of any overt exclusivity discussion. More because we were busy and not unhappy with the relationship, although I wouldn’t say I was happy either. It was a relationship of convenience — at least for me. We saw each other at least…

No pictures of us snuggling. Nothing I wouldn’t have posted to a dear friend’s site. Yet he felt I was claiming him as mine to the world. Which, since we’d been dating for 4 months…

• Being “all that”

  In high school, if a girl is described as thinking she’s “all that” she’s considered arrogant, conceited, stuck up, snobbish. She thinks she’s God’s gift to the world. She’s too good for mere mortals. Yet, when a young man describes a young woman as “all that” it’s a high compliment. He’s saying she’s sexy, attractive, desirable. In midlife, do you exude the positive aspects of “all that”? Do you walk with your head high, straight posture, confident? Do you dress flatteringly — age appropriate, neat and…

Politics aside (i.e. whether or not you think Obama was a good pick), if you’re interested in learning more about the Nobel prizes and “Le marchand de la mort,” see Wikipedia, Biography, Time or pick up a…

  The following email from our regular reader “Sachao” from Germany is a very inspiring success story about getting closure and your strength back after she had to face her Ex. What would YOU do, if you ran into your Ex continuously after returning to a small town after 6 months no-contact? Please read on. My ex-boyfriend and I were together for 7 months when I had to go abroad for a semester (6months) to study. I was very excited to go to France and my ex, who had traveled a lot himself, was always very supportive. Of course, it was a challenge: only together for 7 months and then…

• What Is YOUR Purpose In Life?

  Eddie Corbano

  8 Oct 2009 | 1:20 am

  I wrote earlier about the necessity of pursuing a purpose in life and its significance for achieving happiness and a strong sense of self. Especially after a break up or divorce a new direction is important for gaining a new perspective in life. The following short inspirational story reminds us what joy following your life purpose can bring into your life. Author Joseph Campbell often talked about "following your bliss." I heard of a bus driver in Chicago who does just that. He sings while he drives. That’s right… SINGS! And I don’t mean he sings softly to…

• Have YOU Made These Mistakes After Your Relationship Break Up?

  Eddie Corbano

  25 Aug 2009 | 3:29 am

  Months, or even years after a relationship break up, we will fully realize the fatal mistakes we made right after it happened. Especially the panic controlled actions that made us appear as a different person – often we don’t recognize ourselves any more. It can bring out the worst in us. It usually happens that we hate ourselves later for the things we’ve done. This is understandable, but the wrong thing to do. Not only does it damage our self-esteem, which is urgently needed for the recovery, (what’s left of it), but it also destroys the new concept of self-love we are trying to…

  18 Aug 2009 | 1:10 am

  This is a guest article by Michelle F. from lovingfromadistance.com. Is checking your boyfriend or girlfriend’s email okay? In a word, NO. I would never give my boyfriend the password to my email address and he would never give me his. Is it because we don’t trust each other? No. We value our privacy and respect each other’s privacy. We trust each other completely. Why is sharing your passwords with your boyfriend or girlfriend not the smartest thing to do? A boyfriend innocently gives his girlfriend his password to his email so she can check something for him when he…

• Love Until Madness – Did It Happen To You?

  Eddie Corbano

  8 Aug 2009 | 12:43 am

  “There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.” - Friedrich Nietzsche Let me tell you a little story about my visit to the mountains of Turkey many years ago. I met this beautiful, intelligent girl from Turkey, with crazy dark curly hair. We had this great relationship going and one day she asked me if I would like to learn her origins and travel to Turkey with her. I said “of course”, and the next thing I know I was on sitting on an airplane on my way to Anatolia, (the mountain region of Turkey). Over the next few days she showed me her…

  Last week we tackled the topic of marrying young on our video blog.  We all had varying ideas about the role that getting married young played in helping or hurting the chances of a marriage surviving, but we agreed that age itself was not the main factor in determining when you should get married.  Of course there are factors that determine when someone is ready to get married and I’ve tried to narrow it down to a few key questions to ask yourself when deciding if you are ready to be married. Can You Support Yourselves?- Back when I got married this didn’t seem to be an…

• Can Big Age Differences Work?

  AdviceMaven

  29 Oct 2009 | 5:44 pm

  Sometimes it just works out that the person you fall in love with is many years older or younger than you are.  Although there is not an official age difference that defines what is known as a “May-December romance,” its definition is that it is a relationship where the age difference “is greater than what is socially the norm.”  On the low end of the scale people start to classify a relationship as May-December when there is an age gap in the eight to ten year range.  By the time a fifteen year gap is reached, nearly everyone defines the relationship this way.

  If you could give just one relationship tip to couples what would it be?

I dismissed the dating advice on how to meet someone and fall in love, this often happens naturally, even when we don’t expect it, as doesn’t cover people already in long term relationships.

  Entertain. How often do you hear couples talk about the “honeymoon period” of a relationship and what life is like after it is over. Usually about 6 to 12 months into a serious relationship the magic tarnishes and people can begin to feel a little bored in each others company. This really is a normal process, as the excitement of getting to know each other drifts into familiarity. While we are first dating we work hard to entertain each other, to think of funny stories, interesting places to go and how we can present ourselves in the best light. The most successful long term…

I tend to hear a lot of this kind of thing.  Most of my friends think of me as a good listener.  I listen to everything, all the gory details, and try my hardest not to judge or take sides (I said try, it isn't always easy).   And I do what I can to be supportive.   My…

  Seeing as we have roughly the same interests as a sixth grade boy, it's no surprise that we love guys who get as psyched about dinosaurs as much as we do. For instance, we've watched Jurassic Park dozens of times. It still gives us goosebumps when they show the animation sequence about how they extracted the DNA from the amber. We've rented When Dinosaurs Roamed from Netflix and marveled at the CGI. We even watched King Kong in the theater just to see the amazing fight scene between Kong and a few badass T-Rexes.

  Ten years ago, if you’d asked someone whether or not they’d be comfortable with a blind date knowing everything about them before they met, you’d get an answer somewhere between “Ew, that’s creepy” and “That’s just not romantic.” Today, we almost expect our internet crushes to know intimate details about us, even if we’ve never met. No one thinks twice about telling the internet what they had for breakfast, why their roommates annoy them, or how much that guy in O-Chem makes them think of other, more interesting O’s. It’s easy to overshare on the internet, because…

• Drink, Smoke and Date: How to Find Singles Who Imbibe

  Rachel Wilkerson

  28 Oct 2009 | 6:55 am

  When searching for a partner, most people want someone with similar interests. When you fill out your online dating profile, you might include your love of running, of 16th century British history, of Dalmatians. You probably wouldn’t list “getting high” or “boozing.” But if there’s someone for everyone, there’s someone for the stoner singles. Why not choose an online dating site to suit your vices? If you’re a wine connoisseur, there are many sites for those looking to share a glass of vino (and maybe more!). Wine Lovers Passions is just one of the sites where you can find…

  When your phone goes off after 11 PM, it’s easy to get that little rush. Heart beating, you flip it open and there it is: that “Oh baby I want you so much” text that can make your self-confidence skyrocket. “Yes!” you think. “A drunk guy wants me! I’m awesome!!” As long as it takes you to fluff up your hair and hail a cab … you’re there. There are a lot of things to love about the late-night booty text (LNBT). There are also a lot of things to hate about it. If you really like a guy and he seems to like you mainly after dark, it’s easy to get annoyed. “A drunk guy…

  21 Oct 2009 | 3:00 am

  Technology and social networking have plugged us into a much broader world than we could ever have hoped for. Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace have given us the opportunity to expand our boundaries and make “friends” with people we ordinarily wouldn’t bump into at the farmer’s market or the local dive bar. Meanwhile, user-generated review sites like Yelp and UrbanSpoon are giving us feedback regarding the “cool spots” in our neighborhoods — hopefully so that our dates are as magical and seductive as possible. Yelp and UrbanSpoon are sites that you can access from your computer…

• Should you hire someone to craft your online dating profile and emails?

  Jeffrey Kishner

  19 Oct 2009 | 3:00 am

  Online dating is difficult, alright. Research by OKCupid has shown that your greetings have an impact on whether or not you will receive a reply. (”Howdy” is better than “Hey.”) Some folks are sticklers for spelling and grammar. Your profile pic can make or break you. And frankly, the whole process of transitioning from introductions to real live dates is awkward. In response to the lack of success of so many people in the realm of e-romance, a number of services have cropped up to craft online dating profiles and even write and respond to messages. Yes, that’s…

  A member of my family was just in the hospital for an out-of-the-blue medical emergency.  For a couple days things were dicey and the whole lot of us was concerned.  It’s hard to worry about your career, love life or even your soul when a person who used to change your diapers and sneak you Twinkies when your mom wouldn’t let you eat them, is lying unconscious in a hospital. Lately, I keep coming across articles and essays, surveys and polls, how-to books and talk shows about how to be happy.  I even wrote about it last week.  Supposedly, America is one enormous pool of misery and…

  Time magazine says I’m unhappy.  And if you’re a woman, according to them, so are you.   Sometimes, I think I ought to chuck the whole writing thing and become a researcher investigating the myriad reasons women’s lives are so shitty.  Magazines and universities seem to be working around the clock to inform us dames how depressed we are.  How infertile we become each day.  How gaining too much weight during pregnancy will make us fat for the rest of our lives.  How men don’t like smart chicks and are intimidated by successful ones.  How females are more likely to die by…

  I didn’t want to be a stripper. Really, I have no idea what I wanted from the exotic dance class I’d enrolled in at an adult education center.  I didn’t know whether the course catalog’s promise to help “create a full repertoire of floor-routine and chair moves you can use in enticing performances” was an achievable or even worthwhile goal.  But there I was in a leotard and stilettos, undulating my hips against an inert and perfectly innocent chair. The first order of business on day one was to pick our stripper names.  The gaggle of married lady friends in matching pink…

  A guy sitting next to me on the bus the other day kept looking over my shoulder to check out the book on my lap.  When I stuffed it in my bag, he asked, “what are you reading?” Slightly embarrassed, I told him, “it’s called, Love, an Inner Connection.” “What’s it about?” Self-help books and pseudo-spiritual tomes I’ve always considered hokey.  Human beings are fantastically complicated, a lifetime isn’t long enough to discover all the nooks and crannies in one person’s psyche.  Merge two of these creatures in a relationship and they’d need at least a couple…

  The other night, I met a real-life womanizer.  A handsome attorney named Steven sidled up to me at a bar during a political fundraiser.  As he flirted over conversation about the local senate race, he was charming and complimentary of all my lady loveliness.  Because he hung on my every word and got a kick out of my jokes, I felt deliciously clever and sexy. When Steven asked for my number, I wasn’t sure whether to be more dazzled by his wit, his smile…or the light shining across the gold band on his left hand. Among oversexed men, womanizers are a unique breed.  They’re not the…

  Sometimes, I ask myself if anybody ever counted how often the average man finds himself wondering what to say to a girl. If you did that, you would probably get a frightening daily ratio. “You’ll share an elevator, just you two, and you’ll rise in total silence to the floor”, Rupert Holmes sings in “The people that you never get to love”, a forgotten song from 1979. “Like the fool you are, you get off, and she leaves your life behind a closing door.” And we can all relate.

This is worth of having a stand-alone post, so here it is! The Truth About Relationships There are two types of relationships: those built out of love and those built out of insecurity. Relationships built out of love are most of the ones which will end up living happily ever after, while the ones built out of insecurity are deemed, in most cases, to end up in horrible break-ups, divorce, etc. Here I’ll help you…

Here I will tell you why: 1- Most of the times the other one is not worth it. This is cruel to say, but it’s the number one cause of failure. It’s hard to go through a LDR and it will be even harder if you don’t really love your couple. Most of the partners you’ll have in your life are just not worth the effort. Be careful when choosing your couple and then be even more careful when deciding to have a LDR together. If you feel it might not…

It’s also a key component to building quick bonds with women, and pulling off same night lays.

In other words, the average guy think he’s making PROGRESS with a girl simply because she is allowing him to continue talking to her, without throwing a drink in his face or walking away.
