There are many ways to describe the “essential difference” between men and women. You could refer to it as “yin and yang.” You could refer to it as “left brained vs. right brained,” which is to say “analytical vs. creative,” and you could even call it “order vs. chaos.” In all cases, you would be correct in describing the essence of the difference.

This understanding was unquestioned, common sense, and easily observable Read More

Expat Chronicles The Mick‘s book is finished. Buy Mad Outta Me Head on Amazon: amzn.to/1w0MJno Buy the PDF here: madouttamehead.com I set up the Mad Outta Me Head website not only to sell the PDF, but also to provide extra, in-depth looks at themes from the book.

Previously Story With Stig Greybeard: An Afternoon With Stig Greybeard As expected, the code wasn't working.

A friend of mine called James recently asked me for some advice about a girl he likes, who happens to be his housemate. Maria – let's call her that – is certainly very comely from the photographs he showed me, and by all accounts is pretty fond of him. Apparently they spend a lot of time talking, and she complains frequently about the errant behavior of her current boyfriend. One night she came home from a club a little tipsy and started dancing sexily in the kitchen for him, and on another occasion came downstairs from her bedroom modeling the t-shirt Read More

Our very own Quintus Curtius has written a book that unearths old wisdom and presents it logically and clearly in essay form so that men of today can learn from men of the past. It's like The 48 Laws Of Power for masculine men. The prologue, usually an afterthought for most books, includes a strong tale of fiction that reveals themes Quintus explores later.
