Mommy, what's a "sexual"?

As of late, I've come to the realization that a majority of the physically fit, well dressed men I know are gay. Something like 6.5 out of 10.  In addition, the stereotypical "gay" man, contrary to popular belief, isn't necessarily built like a rake and doesn't necessarily walk with a sway nor trot around with a glittery Prada clutch.  Many of today's gay men, are in fact, somewhat refined versions of man - impeccable posture, outstanding interpersonal skills, well read, witty, humorous and of course, as the women would say - fine physical specimens.  Rupert Everett - didn't see that coming, did ya? Nonetheless, it has come to my understanding that within the dynamics of a homosexual relationship, there...

Life Tip #126: YOU

When you're aiming to sell something or convince somebody to your way of thought, remember the golden rule of the individualistic world - it's all about them.  Take for example a salesman selling product X.  He can pitch the product in one of two ways: Way number one (which happens to be the way in which most salesmen pitch products) Hello Sir.

But like any other straight guy, I yearn to maintain a reasonable sense of manliness - in other words, I don't want to go to such lengths of metro-sexuality so as to be consistently mistaken for a homosexual (this comes with absolutely no disrespect to all homosexual friends/readers).

A Better Man

Currently enjoying the pina coladas, the sunshine, the sea-breeze and the sun-kissed sands that Thailand has to offer and a thought comes to mind: the vast amount of men populating the streets of the world (including those right here in Krabi) who could look immensely better with nothing more than a pinch of effort.  A dash of the gym here, a slight wardrobe tweak there, a little bit of focus on posture and disposition everywhere... and virtually any Tom, Harry and Dick could look like an extremely better-looking Tom, Harry and Dick. Almost instantly.  If any of you (especially the ladies) have ever wondered why there are a lack of attractive, eligible men out there, it's really not so much that God omitted to create the aforesaid genre of man. Rather, the reason...
