Who will we turn to?
El Guapo!
He has enlightened us with his understanding of women, relationships, photoshop, the internet and armaments. I propose a new feature. Ask El Guapo!

I'll go first.
El Guapo,
Recently, a friend of mine was on a long drive with his (now ex) girlfriend. Several hours into the drive she said "I was hoping that we could really talk during this drive." My friend considered turning up the radio but instead relied "Okay, go ahead." This apparently was not the response she wanted, and she hit him with the old "What are you thinking?" line. Women value honesty so he answered that he was thinking the car was getting good gas mileage on this trip. For some reason this, too, displeased her. He racked his brain and added that 1) northern Michigan was flatter than he had expected, 2) that they might make it to St. Catherine's by dinner time, and 3) that we were lucky to have such good weather. None of these were discussions she wanted to continue. He had left out his other thought, that the blond in the blue bikini next to them at the beach earlier that day had been really hot, but was pretty sure it would not be well received. Needless to say, the reminder of the drive was tense.
My friend was wondering what he should have said. Did she want to talk sports? politics? Should he have mentioned the blond? If she wanted to talk, why didn't she just go ahead and talk instead of asking him to do the talking?
nah...it's time that "savage love" made it's way into ann lander's old spot...

Remember - Always Remember - she is probing you with that question - looking for weaknesses in your shields. (Sorry, but when a Star Trek reference is appropriate I will not hesitate to use it) Women only do the let's talk thing when something is bothering them or they want an answer from you on a question that you have no clue they want answered.
That question is a hard one to answer on the fly for most men. That is why the modern man harkens back to his Boy Scout days by always being prepared. Have at least three answers prepared and ready at all times. Mix them up. Never use the same one twice. Repeat only if you have developed new variants on the core answers.
Keep these in the back of your mind. They should be something along the lines of the following:
1. "Honey I was just thinking how wonderful my life is now that you are in it." Then start discussing your early relationship and how your love has grown even larger than you thought possible.
2. "I was trying to figure out how we can {insert something she wants to do} on our budget. Sure, I may have to give up {something you want to do but know she will never let you do, or something you can't afford} because I want to see you happy."
3. "I was thinking that I have never been so emotionally connected to someone in my life. I just feel we are so in tune with each other. Thanks for being who you are; the woman that completes me and allows me to communicate at the soul-level."
Avoid the following answers:
"I was thinking I miss my ex's nipples."
"I was wondering if your Bridesmaid was large with my child the day of our wedding."
"I think I might be curious about other men, namely your brother Seth."
"I think OJ was innocent - Behatch."
Michael, I hope this helps.

El Guapo,
Why do married men flirt with single women, particularly those who do not encourage such behavior from these men?
Signed,
Single but Certainly NOT Desperate
"A witty woman is a treasure, a witty beauty is a power!"
Genetics – remember men are hardwired by a million years of evolution to be distributors of little packets of genetic information. Nature demands this genetic information be available to as many as possible. Today’s modern man attracts a mate several ways –through the use of physical prowess, the accumulation of goods or by putting a spin on the female’s brain by using charms. Mostly through combinations of the aforementioned techniques is he allowed to donate his sequencing codes to posterity.
Anyway you slice it the genetic goal of all men is to deliver the goods intact to the target and then move on to a newer, more exciting target. Preferably one with young healthy features. You don’t get genetic points for hanging out with the old lady and watching a video. Incidentally, this is why men make better gunners, bombers and missile launchers – genetics – we like hitting multiple targets. Straiffing is the term.
So, when a modern man is flirting he has no choice – he is wired that way. Please be understanding and know that his remaining faithful to his mate goes against millions of years of evolutionary principles and that he is making a great effort by spending more than a week with her. Reassure him that many young girls would be glad to receive his data.
And cut the guy some slack, its not like he gave her a phone number.
Dear El Guapo -
Why do some contractors, engineers and architects feel compelled to lie about a facet of their project? Do they think that we aren't going to bust their lame ass? I just don't get this.
And to piggback off of this question, please include married men who lie about their marital status! Thank you.Originally posted by KMateja

I smoke after sex. Any advice?
Although I'm not El Guapo, my answer would depend on WHAT you smoke after sex!Originally posted by bturk

bturk: "I smoke after sex. Any advice? "
You mean, like out your ears? Yes. I can see how that would be a problem.
Neither the contractor, engineer, architect or married man think they are lying. They all think they are telling the truth in the moment as it is called for. This is called situational ethics. Plus, they think they have right on their side in these situations. After all the development related types are paying your wages (I love hearing that one) and the married man is just cutting through the complications and distilling his relationship status to that of unattached – in order to better serve you. Thus they are saving you time by telling you what they think you want to hear. The fault is clearly yours. If you were not putting out the “lie to me big boy” vibe they wouldn’t feel the need to make up stories to tell you. They would much prefer to give you a straight answer to all of your inquires. Shame on you ladies for forcing men to lie.
After sex my suggestion is a lipton raspberry diet iced tea on the rocks and a Marlboro Red or two. If it was really great sex - Perhaps a Camel unfiltered and a PowerAid.
Stay away from weed and crack and tomato juice after sex.
While in the military I was in a unit where certain uncouth members wore a t-shirt that said: Bomb Disposal - We leave a smoking hole. I, of course, never sported such a garment.

Do us young whipper snapper planners HAVE to turn in to old stuffed shirts? Are we doomed to be old and crabby with many red pens sticking out our pocket protectors.

No thanks El Guapo.......everyone now knows that I'm a Married Man Magnet which has harlot implications. This does not set well with me as I was raised as a VERY GOOD Catholic girl in a proper Southern setting. **ducking for inevitable lightning strike as I type this**Originally posted by El Guapo

I was looking for a nice catholic redheaded farm girl when I met my Hindu academic wife. Life can sideswipe you when you least expect it.
I know there is someone wonderful out there for you.

I'm not sure you will ever become a cranky old anything. You are destined to move to a secluded spot on the shore facing the Great Barrier Reef with a planner from Florida. There I sense happy water dogs and a wicked fast internet connection hooked up to a server the size of a can of ale. Strangely the kitten population in the area thrives. I see a man with a grin and an FAICP tattoo cleaning fish and bitching about the built environment.
