Dressing Identity

Okay, okay get this -  Two men meet at a party. They're both wearing identical logo tees.  What happens next? They both go "DUDE WE LIKE, HAVE THE SAME SHIRT!!!"  "LIKE, TOTALLY RAD!" *high five*  *chest bump*  *beer-mug-clinking* and perhaps an ensuing celebratory photo to commemorate this moment, the memory of which both men will cherish for generations to come.  Typical straight guy scenario. Two women meet at a party. They're both wearing the exact same dress.  Recipe for disaster What happens next? Nothing much... except - ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. A mystery of life: why in the world do women make such a big deal...

Whiskey for Hair Growth!

More than once in my life, I've been told that rubbing whiskey/brandy on your face is guaranteed (a word that has lost all value) to make you grow facial hair.

Older Women & Younger Men: UPDATED

"Greetings Rudi! I really enjoy reading your blog. It's like food for thought. Anyhoo, I've always been wondering: Do ladies mind when it comes to their respective partner's age? I noticed that when a guy is 5 to 8 years older than his lady, it's not a very big deal... BUT not vice versa. Even if the guy is younger by 1 or 2 years, it's like a huge barrier for the ladies! Why is that?! Yours truly, Joanne :)" _________________________________________________________________ Greetings Joanne!!! I really enjoy the fact that you enjoy the blog. It's food for my blogging soul.  That's a very legitimate question, Joanne. Primitive society has traditionally frowned upon the notion of an older woman and a younger man, but disproportionately...
