Rundown: Today rsquo;s show we rsquo;ll be talking about a Psychology Today article about male appearances. Money is always an issue in relationships, but is that enough of a reason to start lying about the stuff you buy? Women have a hard time being single as it is, and it is harder still during the holidays. Finally, lubrication…maybe a woman rsquo;s best friend in the bedroom. And this week rsquo;s Geek Love tip is about your ex, and they deserve happiness even after they hurt you.
What rsquo;s up?
Topic 1: The Puzzle of Pretty Boys from the November/December 2010 issue of Psychology Today. Last week I brought up how average looking women can rsquo;t get really good looking guys. An article in Psychology Today discusses how women swoon over actors and buff soccer players but women are happy to date and marry average looking men.
- ldquo;Male beauty is more in the eye of the beholder than female beauty. rdquo;
- This is why in sitcoms it rsquo;s always an attractive woman with the ldquo;pudgy everyday man rdquo;
- Looks just aren rsquo;t as important to women as they are to men. They care about status and resources.
- Men make snap judgements on women because looks are important to them.
- Depending on what a woman wants in life well determine how good looking of a guy she will be after.
- Both gay and straight men care more about beauty and youth than women.
- ldquo;Hot en ear on average, 5% more than less good-looking colleagues. But really handsome men may have a hard time feeling satisfied in romantic relationships over the long haul.
Topic 2: Couples hide things from each other, and some of it is what we buy.

Geek Love Tip of the Week: First off I wanted to talk about something that’s happened to me lately. Now this show isn’t just about articles and advice, its about the real life machinations of relationships. I have separated from my ex for awhile now, divorced and everything and it took me a long time to get over it. Alas, a seven year relationship means there’ll be some residual effect. I still hear about what’s going on in her life, and I found out something that really was a kick in the groin.
Now of course, I still ldquo;respect rdquo; these people so I’m not going to go into detail, but despite all the bad that’s happened to me, and all the shenanigans that have come about from my experiences with her even after we separated. Most people would probably want the worst for their ex, and I thought I felt the same way too. But everyone deserves to be happy. The guy she’s with now, well, let’s just say they deserve each other. Haha, I guess some people just like digging their own graves. Okay, so maybe I take some joy in her…misery, we can dwell on that on occasion, but its not your life, its hers. Still, I guess the discussion on the table is, do exes deserve to be happy even if they kick your heart in the ass? Even if they try their best to hurt you or manipulate you? I say, yes. Because they’re still human beings, regular people who desire happiness just like everyone else. I wouldn’t deny her joy in her life.
The funny thing about what’s happened after all the crap of my previous relationship is that so much good came out of it. I met people, I did things I normally didn’t do, I found things that brought true happiness in my life. And that’s what I tell to you. Why worry about your ex? Why care what happens to them, even if they hurt you? They’re not worth your time or your effort. Just put them in the past where they belong, and if fun little bits of information comes up about them, just listen, process, and move on. No point on dwelling on what was and what may never be again. If they are screwing up their own lives, let it be, and just concentrate on your own happiness. They’re not there in your life for a reason.
