My Experimentation With “Older” European Women
During my first trip to Poland, it was tough to find a single woman older than 25 in the club, but something happened in the proceeding three years to where the the night scene is now full of them. I regularly witness a consistent flow of older women (ages 25-30) who failed to find a man during their prime and is looking for a handsome prince to sweep them off their feet.
There are four main advantages to dating older European women:
They flake less
They answer the phone and respond to text messages promptly
They require a lower level of game
They are more Read More
Islamophobia Is Perfectly Natural
During the #YesAllWomen movement, there was an meme that went viral saying, “You say not all men are monsters? Imagine a bowl of M&Ms. 10% of them are poisoned. Go ahead. Eat a handful. Not all M&Ms are poisoned.” This is exactly how I feel about Islam.
The Myth of the Radical Minority
Except it's much more than 10% of Muslims who are ideologically poisonous. Consider this video from Ben Shapiro exploring a 2009 Poll by the Pew Research Center of radical Islamic beliefs:
A couple hard stats: 13% of American Muslims say violence against civilians can be justified, and 19% say they Read More
Review: Limon
I have now formed a conditioned response whenever I hover over a link and see the URL indiegogo.com. It's a mixture of terror, disgust, and exasperation, which, upon clicking, either bubbles into rage or fizzles into mild interest, depending on the product advertised.

Is there some sort of rule that if you have a crowdfunding campaign for a vibrator, you must show it in a glass of water?
Then I Read More
36 Questions To Ask Women That Make Her Want You
I just got sent this interesting article called “How to fall in love with anyone: Ask 36 questions and stare into their eyes for four minutes”.
Apparently the New York Times recently published a story about a study that discovered that if you put two people in a lab together where they ask each other 36 questions and then stare deeply into each others eyes, they will fall in love.
The article that I was forwarded was another article written by a woman, attempting to disprove this study by doing everything the study said to do but NOT fall in love. Read More
La Moradita: Epic Marketing FAIL in Peru
Expat Chronicles
Inca Kola's “La Moradita” has been an epic fail in Peru.
One comparison is New Coke. In 1985, Coca-Cola had been waging a bitter battle with Pepsi during the Cola Wars of the 70s and 80s. Pepsi is sweeter while Coca-Cola has an acidic aftertaste. They removed the acidity for New Coke. Despite the overwhelming preference for New Coke in focus groups, an ugly, public backlash ensued. Maybe Southerners did not want their signature drink changed, or maybe consumers liked the acidity. The company launched “Coca-Cola Classic” alongside New Coke. As a young boy, I learned to look for “Classic” Read More
