Things That Make Men Obsessed With Women
If there's one thing that's always stayed true without history, it's that men who are attracted to a woman will often obsess over her. In fact, when a man is in love, he can't stop thinking about his partner. It's an obsession that has made men throughout history go to the ends of the Earth just to be with the one they love.

Grieving Mom Releases Inspirational New Book After Teen Daughter Killed In Car Wreck
URBANA, ILLINOIS—Approximately 42,000 children die each year in the United States, according to the National Center for Child Death Review Policy and Practice. That means each year more than 80,000 parents face the unimaginable – the loss of a child. It forces these grieving parents into a club no one ever wants to be a part of: the Grieving Parents Club.

Flames Of Desire
An emotion so primal, where the flames of desire have once again risen, keeps reoccurring in the recesses of my mind. Like ghosts of long lost loves which have come back as a haunting reminder of the past. The one that passed away all too soon and the one that got away those many years ago, where the memories are as clear and picturesque as glimmering snow-capped mountains have once again stirred flames of desire of the memories I hold dear.

Why Women Are Avoiding Dating and Marriage
For years, we have heard of the Men Going Their Own Way movement online. It's a movement that basically says that men get the "raw end" of the dating deal and that women are just no longer worth marrying for one reason or another. The movement itself is one that has long been known for its hatred of women, its inability to see women as people with feelings, and its highly vocal base that says that love is dead.

Embrace Your Singleness
My love life is a total joke, and I’m not mad about it. The reality is that I’ve never been the kind of women that WANTS to be in a relationship. When most of my friends were talking about their crush, I was either drinking or reading about fashion. No, I’m not an alcoholic, what I’m trying to say is that my passion for fashion, my family, and my social life have always been more important than guys (actually, any aspect of my life has been more relevant than love relationships).

Asking and Explaining
We know that infidelity often results in breakups, divorces and social stigmatization. Western society has frowned upon straying from one’s intimate partner, from the widespread reproach of public figures such as former president Bill Clinton, presidential hopeful John Edwards, actress Kristen Stewart, and professional golfer Tiger Woods, among others. Indeed, partner’s betrayal makes for great emotional upset, perpetuating verbal and even physical abuse. What exactly drives people to cheat? It’s worth examining the literature on people’s reactions and ways of addressing infidelity across genders, social status, and age. Further, cheating may be motivated by fulfillment of needs, the desire for self-growth, and different personality types.

Don't Touch My Stuff!
Quietly, with absolutely no fanfare or public announcement, I have declared, “War”! I admit that I have a mild propensity to let things pile up. Horizontal surfaces around the house provide opportunities for temporary storage, even if temporary can stretch into months or even years. My wife, on the other hand, does not share this inclination. Indeed, she is, what I refer to as, a clutter Nazi. She does not allow, permit, condone, or begin to understand, “temporary storage until I can review later”. She does not tolerate disorganization.

Race and Racial Impersonation: Three Views in Three Books
The national dialogue on race, already fraught enough before the Trump presidency and even more so now, will soon feature three new books with which to settle an argument, or start one, about an intriguing variation on the topic that’s still the third rail of American life.

Revisiting 'Her'
I want to take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of Her. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Samantha, we follow a man as he falls in love (and out of love) with a computer designed to fulfill his specific needs. The story that Jonze tells is original and profound, yet does not seem far off from the world we live in today. Everywhere I go I am speed-walking past folks with their eyes on their phones, moving at a glacial pace.
