So the “arm-pit” of America stinks a little less with its granting of same-sex benefits. (Okay, okay, cheap-shot; hey, I used to live there!) Nice that NJ will be recognizing partnerships granted in other states as well though. The deal isn’t perfect, but these things take time.
Salon.com has been my Prozac of late, and today I bring you What French girls know – a short reflection on the differences between French and American women’s pursuit for love, happiness, and passion. Wish I’d read it before my short visit to France. Some interesting comments and perspectives that raise a brow [...]
Hmmm…interesting “role reversals”. Unfortunately, taking pictures is all the girls will do. Do they have the forwardness to ask for more?
Think you want to meet a nice Japanese girl interested in starting a family? Good luck.
Yes, yes, I know. I really need to get back to Chinese. It’s coming. Trust me.
Neat demo that helps visualize an individual’s gait based on a continuous sample of parameters (a little curious how that works under ’sex’). I often find myself recognizing people in the distance by their gait before I can actually see their face. Maybe now I can better understand how they’re feeling.
Salon review of “A Ventian Affair”; pretty interesting if you’ve got nothing else to read. 18th century love affair we could learn from, all through discovered letters. “Obstacles intensify the feeling.” Email just doesn’t cut it; never has.
I mentioned a diary entry by Brian a few days ago. In another recent one (10.19.2003) he details an account of going out on the town and drinking his way to courage in chatting it up with some gals. But it was his last line that amused me:
Soon after that, the two girls [...]
Japan Today has an amusing article on why it’s more common to find Western-male/Japanese-female couples rather than vice-versa. A few choice quotes:
Western girls [are] more demanding. I think that is what puts most [Japanese] men off. They would rather be pampered. For example, I spoke to a Japanese couple recently. After they got married, [...]
As I always do whenever I’m on vacation in the U.S., I infused myself with periodicals from the intellectually stimulating to the butt-wipe bathroom reading. Here’s an amusing snippet from the September Men’s Health which, I’m almost afraid to say, from my own observations this isn’t too far from the mark… :)
Q: What [...]
Having a field day over at Salon.com. A study over at Northwestern University seems to have raised a few eyebrows about male and female “interests”.
Why are men so predictable, so pathetically easy to forecast and satisfy, when women are being aroused by the unexpected and falling in love with the previously unthinkable?
We may never [...]
