Cheating is a Cop Out
Remember what we used to do kids who cheated on the playground? We kicked their ass, and they were relegated to play by themselves for months. You know why? Because cheating is selfish, and as a tribal species, we know at the primal level, selfish is dangerous. That’s why we set up rules. Imagine if [...]

Ross: Ah, the heart of every healthy relationship: Honesty, respect, and sex with celebrities. Monica: So, Chandler… who’s on your list? Chandler: Uh, Kim Basinger, Cindy Crawford, Halle [...]
Debunking “When Harry Met Sally . . . ”
Can men and women be platonic friends? Whenever I get into conversations on this topic, someone usually brings up the movie, When Harry Met Sally . . . (1998).

I love being single
