"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I read this story and found it amusing. Anna Camp is an attractive C list actress who claims she was sexually harassed on the set of her new show. Apparently that harassment consisted of her being called doll, honey, and sweetie in the food service area on the production. I was a little surprised that this was characterized as sexual harassment.

I get called honey or sweetie sometimes by waitresses or cashiers. Personally, I think it is unprofessional, but I've never considered it sexual harassment. It seems to me that if people want others to take this issue seriously, they shouldn't undermine it by referring to something so relatively benign as sexual harassment.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I don't mind being called hon, honey, sweetie, etc. by female cashiers or waitresses or bartenders. At best, I find it cute. At worst, I find it neutral.

Even a gay guy waiter called me "hon" once. I'm straight as an arrow, but I didn't take offense. He didn't mean anything by it.

Most females that I know don't like being called such pet names. Not sure I would call it sexual harrasment in that case, but just poor taste.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.

Did you ever watch the show Criminal Minds? It's about FBI agents. Shamar Moore, former model, was on the show. He always referred to the fat woman as "Baby Girl,"....always, even in a work environment. That is the definition of demeaning sexual harassment. But since he's hot and every fat girl in America has a crush on him, that makes it ok. He left the show this year, but still has a "Baby Girl" clothing line that he markets. He's probably gay, too, which only compounds the irony of him being such a sex symbol to fat girls everywhere.
