The Manival is back and, as always, bring the latest in man-centric blogging.
Jonathan Fields of Awake@theWheel wrote 6 Timeless Rules for My Six Year Old Daughter and rule #5 is definitely my favorite!
5. Don’t…date smokin’ hot men (or women). First, you should know, you’re not allowed to date until your married. And, only then, if you’re not still living with your mom and me. But, once you do, steer clear of the ultra-hotties, unless they are those few people who’ve grown up in a place where everyone else is so much hotter, they think they’re ugly. But, honestly, even then, if they’re super-hot and they’re too blind to know it, you’ve gotta wonder what’s going on upstairs.
People who are nice looking, cute, attractive, but not smokin’ hot need to shine by developing into better, more interesting, funnier, more respectful people. Not all do. But, at least you’ve got a better shot at having a great life with a medium hottie than a smokin’ hottie.
PS – This rule does not apply to your mother. Through a freak of genetics and a bizarre 4th grade home-ec accident, she ended up being smokin’ hot and insanely cool. I am sure much the same way you’ll be. If this is all a bit confusing, it’ll all make sense once you start dating…after your married and moved out of my house.
Corey at SimpleMarriage wrote Man Up: How to Answer The Question, What Do You Do? Also,
- Money Can’t Buy Happiness,
- Marriage is Not 50/50, and
- How To Survive and Thrive in a Street Fight in 8 Simple Steps are all articles I found very interesting.
And TGIF – Thank God I’m Frisky, XY (xy for the male chromosome because I’m clever dangit) which is all about what women really find sexy because most men don’t have a clue.
Now I am beginning to wonder, do woman want a Woman-ival? Are woman confused about what it means to be a woman? Personally, I think I want an Awesome-ival on what it means to be awesome!

I know I’m just being silly here, but what kind of prizes do they give out at the Manival? I bet they’re better than those dollar store stuffed animals, right?

Prizes?? No, no, no – the prize is love. Te amo, quiero mucho, PersistentIllusion.

Maybe the confusion is about the difference between what a woman should be and what men think they want…
