Posted by on August 26, 2011 at 9:02 pm

When it comes to men and the “macho” behavior that they sometimes tend to indulge in, or are compelled to take part in (especially under peer pressure or if they come from a particularly agressive family background of men), being this way may actually not bode well for your life span.

Posted by on July 12, 2011 at 6:11 pm

Men go through a very similar thing when it comes to the “change of life” cycle that occurs in women who are over the age of fifty, called menopause.  It’s increasingly recognized as a real phenomenon for men, whereas just a few years ago the idea the men go through a male menopause would have [...]

Posted by on March 30, 2011 at 9:31 am

These tough economic times we’ve been living in since it became apparent we had a problem in mid 2008 have been hard on everyone. Single people, married people with kids, and especially affected have been men. Therefore, the recession has been affectionately coined as the “mancession”.

Posted by on December 20, 2010 at 5:10 pm
