Men Who Get Better With Age

Why do we women do who we do? It’s the riddle men have been trying to solve since the beginning of time. But apparently, anthropologist Gil Greengross cracked the code to our crotches: self-deprecating humor. After two years of studying how humor affects sex, Mr. Greengross found that if a man knocks himself down, the ladies won’t shoot him down. A little bit of sweet talkin’ for sympathy is the best strategy because it shows your strong suits to be intelligence, creativity, and humility. And that’s the winning combo! Although, dudes be warned, you don’t want to head into pity lay territory. There’s a fine line between being the charmingly modest (well at least in movies) Hugh Grant, and the too-sad-to-screw Larry David. [Daily Mail]
Seriously. First Hugh Grant. Then Charlie Sheen. Now New York Governor Elliot Spitzer. So. Disappointing.
We recently came across some puzzling paparazzi photos of a newly married Elizabeth Hurley with her husband Arun Nayer on holiday—the puzzling part wasn’t that the couple was on vacay together, but rather that her ex-boyfriend, British cad Hugh Grant, came along for the ride. How…romantic? The trend has made its way to television as well—one of our favorite breakout hits from the last TV season, Showtime’s Californication, stars David Duchovny as a foul-mouthed writer who constantly stops by uninvited at his ex (and baby momma) and her new fiancé‘s home. [Spoiler: In the end she runs off with him after her wedding—a plot point that probably could have been stopped if her fiancé had put the kibosh on all the overly friendly ex-relations (though that would have made for a less exciting season finale).] So what’s the deal Frisky women? Do you—or your partners—have exes who still come ‘round for tea and stay for supper, too? Share your stories in the comments—maybe The Frisky is just a little bit behind the times when it comes to modern matrimony. [Daily Mail, Dotspotter]
