Battle Of The Sexes


Men or Money?

I was thinking about what Tyson said “Women Or Money?” and I thought I, as a woman, should express my point of view as well.

While I totally agree on some of his remarks –for example, when he says a 5 dollar bill can’t give you children or rub your back-, I feel a little different about some other ideas. For instance, I quite dislike the idea that “the pursuit of money is more important than the pursuit of women because money naturally begets women”. What we go after is not always money (well, some of us at … read more


Women Or Money?

Women or Money

Recently I was with some friends and we were listening to a song by Rich Boy and featuring both Lil Wayne and Nas. In the song, Nas states “you lose money chasing women but never lose women chasing money”. Naturally, given the nature of my friends we began a friendly debate on the validity of this statement and overall which one is more important-women or money.

One of my friends has always been somewhat of a ladies man and through the course of his dating career has developed an ability that I see as immature and uncharacteristic of what … read more


Stereotypes of men and women… accurate or not even close?

Stereotypes of men and women… accurate or not even close?

We fear what we can’t comprehend. And the opposite sex sometimes appears as a giant question mark. What do we do? We stereotype, of course! After a couple of times a guy can’t guess why his girlfriend is crying, he establishes “all women cry too much”. When a girl gets frustrated after dating one or two guys who are afraid of commitment, she decides it’s not her fault, it’s just that all men are the same!

And yet… could it be possible that there is something true behind these common –and sometimes cruel- stereotypes? Is it true that women really are … read more

Teenagers, Tired Of Being Harassed By Your Stupid Parents?

“Don’t tell me what I can do!”, “Hey, this is my room, go away!”, “What do you care?”, “Since when do I have to listen to your opinions?”, “You don’t understand me, no one does!”, “Why can’t I go? All my friends will be there!”, “I don’t want kids to see me with you, it’s too embarrassing!”, “I don’t have to listen to all this crap!”.

Teenagers aren’t easy, are they? They can really give us a hard time. But we have to remember that neither are us, grownups, from their point of view. Think about it for a second. How … read more


Once upon a time…

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time, a guy asked a beautiful girl “Will you marry me?”

The girl said “NO!”


Things We Learn From the Movies…

Once applied, lipstick will never rub off -even while scuba diving.

It’s easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

Love, Communication, Trust…

Love, Communication, Trust...

Love, Communication, Trust… Which of the big three of happy relationships is more important?

What’s the true importance of communication? Can love actually hold by itself a happy relationship? And just how important is to trust the other person? No one can deny that a truly happy relationship takes a little bit of everything. Love, communications and trust, they need to coexist.

Or do they?

At first many people would agree with the Beatles when they sing “All you need is love”. But this idea doesn’t resist a second thought. Can you love without trust? Or even better, can such love last? And … read more


Vanity, Christina at her most bitchy, ironic and gorgeous!

Vanity, Christina at her most bitchy, ironic and gorgeous!

A couple of weeks ago I bought Bionic, the new album by Christina Aguilera, and I listened over and over again to one specially great hit song called Vanity, that closes the album. I loved Vanity’s futuristic sounds and I believe the music is great, but today I’d like to focus on the lyrics.

The thing is, when I first listened to Vanity, I wasn’t sure I had it all figured it out. Is she actually calling herself “bitch” all those times? What are the lyrics all about? References to fairy tales “mirror mirror, on the wall…”-, a despise … read more


What Constitutes A Decent Man In 2010?

What constitutes a decent man in 2010?

We women are quick to use the cliched phrase there aren’t any good men left out there but its getting truer and truer by the day. How do you determine what a good man is in 2010? When was the last time we actively looked for that decent man instead of just conveniently scooping up which ever men come our way?
