I write often for SheKnows.com, and it just occurred to me that I haven’t posted many of my recent pieces for them here. Here are a few lurrrve-and-relationships pieces I’ve written in the past few months:

So You Want to Date a DILF… — I like to think of this piece as an ode to David Beckham — actually, more like Ryan Gosling, in light of recent events.

Does Satisfaction Predict the Future of Relationships? — Did I work a Richard Yates reference into a sponsored-content post? Yes. Yes, I did.

Geek Appeal Is the New Sexy — A very lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek look at why male tech nerds are so hot right now (featuring commentary from the legendary John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus!).

And because you’ve diligently read to the end of this post, here’s your reward: the truly fun stuff. (P.S. I am in love with these illos, by Amy Berlak.):

Put Your Sex Life in Overdrive: Sex Positions for the Car

Get Rubbed in the Tub: Sex Positions for the Shower

Enjoy — safely!

The Spring 2014 issue of XOP Magazine is on newsstands now, and it is gorgeous, people. I got to do some high-fashion and design writing for the mag this time around, which was so much fun. I interviewed Khajak Keledjian, founder of Intermix, about the boutique chain’s new spring stock, and I explored a few ultracool interior design pieces you’ll want in your home right now.

Read on:

Etel Carmona’s wooden bowls

Jing Jing Li’s skyscraper-shaped candles

Zaha Hadid’s vase collection for Lalique

Or flip through the entire issue here.

P.S. Fun fact: I mention Zaha Hadid’s work—specifically her design for the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati—in my book, The Frisky 30-Day Breakup Guide. Breathtaking, all of it!

 

 

If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, you’ll see right away that I’m something of a Mad Men fan/aficionado/freak. So when MensFitness.com tapped me to do a piece for the Season 7 premiere, I started writing the story in my head even before I said yes.

The result of my obsessive episode-watching? “What Would Don Draper Say?” — a collection of Draper’s best comebacks that conveniently apply to every part of your life. Try ’em in the mirror with a Don Draper growl.

Happy Season 7, everyone!

 

As always, my brilliant experts had great advice for guys looking to clean up their lifestyle before celebrating the big 3-0, which I doled out in my newest piece for Men’s Fitness‘s website, 10 Habits to Trash Before You Turn 30.

Read it and, trust me, you’ll either make some changes now or wish you had a DeLorean to travel back in time and kick the younger you’s butt.

Traveling internationally? Awesome. Having to contend with “ugly American” stereotypes when you’re trying to make a good impression? Not awesome.

Check out my newest piece for BudgetTravel.com, “10 Stupidest Things Americans Do Overseas,” and see if you’re guilty of any of these travel sins. (I’m sure you’d never dream of ordering a cheeseburger in Europe.)
