Women have always been thought of as “the weaker sex." Now the world is finally becoming aware that women are no longer weak and are also taking charge of their lives.

In the book and the movie “Eat, Pray, Love,” one woman takes an enormous risk by getting a divorce and traveling the world alone in search of herself. Traveling worldwide may seem extreme to some, but to really find herself this woman felt that she had to gain distance from all that was comfortable for her.

Potato HeadI just realized that a friend of mine is an EQ genius at relationships-she recently returned from a trip to tropics with her husband and discovered a way to stop any minor arguments on their trip. They’ve both traveled before, both for business trips and small adventures around this country and others, and she was concerned before the trip began that they might fight or bicker about where to go or what to do.

I’m going to let you in on a secret of mine: I like control. I’m high maintenance, bossy and (if we’re going to be honest with each other) I can be a b*tch. I realize this doesn’t paint me in a flattering light, but I’m okay with that. My husband probably wants to kill me half the time, but you can’t have day without night. If I wasn’t so utterly unbearable at times, our sex life sure as hell wouldn’t be as dynamic as it is. Seriously, think about it. Create a mental picture of all the women you know and which ones have the most satisfying sex life. I guarantee you, the ones that come to mind will be the more dominant, the more assertive; the b*tches.

This is the only way to explain it, either that or he's just increadibly weak.

Personal Lubricants Can HelpI was charmed by the film “Superbad” starring Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. Seriously, who doesn’t love movies about young virgins trying to get laid?  

At one point in “Superbad”, the characters of Seth and Evan are in the parking lot at the liquor store waiting for the much-loved McLovin’ to buy booze with his questionable fake id. As the two are talking, one busts out a bottle of lube and the other chucks it across the parking lot. His reasoning? Lube is only necessary for old ladies- not hot high school girls.

I beg to differ.

Bar Scene: Pick Up Artists at WorkOverheard recently in my hood:

“So, he was, like, what’s your favorite number? And I was like, 22 and he said, oh my God, that’s my favorite number, too!”

Wow, it must be true love. The same favorite number and everything. Time to move in together perhaps? Not quite.

What an abysmal waste of Amy Adams, is all I can say.

I was really looking forward to this movie. I don’t know why; I guess after the string of highly enjoyable romantic comedies we had over the past couple of years (Definitely, Maybe, Penelope, PS I Love You, etc.) I was expecting, I don’t know; some sort of quality. And I absolutely adore Amy Adams—in everything from Enchanted to Doubt to Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day—so there was that factor of expectancy as well. (Spoilers ahead.)

But I should’ve known better. Didn’t I suffer through The Proposal, Valentine’s Day, and several other rom-com flops (well, flops in my opinion—many did very well at the box office) this year? Didn’t I already decide that 2010 was not going to be the year of the decent tearjerker, but of the banal, humorless waste of reel?
