Reading a recent Monday Magazine,<\/em> it became apparent that it\u2019s not a great month for us virgos. Astrologist Georgia Nichols\u2019 horoscope (my favorite!) said that low energy and tiredness are overwhelming. (Exams anyone?)<\/p>\n After that cheery news, I continued working my way from back to front in search of the next article popper. Almost at the end (I mean, front), there it was: a full-page spread of writer\/comedian Wes Borg\u2019s comedy article on attempting to save romantically challenged heterosexual men.<\/p>\n Oh, this should be interesting, I thought to myself.<\/p>\n Summing up Borg\u2019s tips, he emphasizes that men \u201cact\u201d stupid in their relationships so they can attract a woman to begin with. He suggests a man must mismatch his socks, be a bad cook, etc. Apparently the \u201cman project\u201d is what women really want. If this is true, we are all doomed!<\/p>\n What man wants to degrade himself by playing dumb all his life for a woman? And, on the other side of things, what woman wants to be a domestic slave and mother all her life for a man?<\/p>\n Borg argues that his tips create a win-win situation for both men and women. The man gets the woman by posing as stupid and, in return, the woman gains control.<\/p>\n Ironically, next to Borg\u2019s column was an advice column by a professional matchmaker. Equally regressive and insulting as Borg\u2019s, the matchmaker advises women to let the man pay on dates, so he can feel in control.<\/p>\n My love advice to these two: check control at the door when approaching relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reading a recent Monday Magazine, it became apparent that it\u2019s not a great month for us virgos.
