Playboy vs. Playmate

Well...did he really expect a different outcome from the same mistakes? I think most of us have lived through this scenario.

I shared my thoughts with Scorpio last night on my dismal dating status. We both admitted to ourselves that we fell victim to dating many Mr. Wrongs because we were not ready to settle down with Mr. Right. I have made a vow to stop dating men that I know are not right for me and will never be in my future. Even though I am not heartbroken when the expected happens, it still stings and brings my confidence down unnecessarily. Why am I upset when I know the inevitable ending before it even begins?

Scorpio succeeded in breaking the chain by really looking at characteristics of her Mr. Right and not settling for less. Now she can reap the benefits of a quality man who is in it for the long haul.

Don't worry Hef, you won't die of a broken heart like the press suggests, just try using your "other head" if you want someone to settle down with. A Playmate should only be considered as just that for a man in his 80's.

The End of an Era

After almost exactly 25 years of marriage, this power couple is calling it quits. Interestingly, the divorce comes only months after Maria lost her father. I was reading in Psychology Today magazine that when one partner undergoes a major life change (such as death) it becomes exponentially harder to maintain the union. Our experiences irrevocably change us - compound that with the fact that she left her career to be the Governor's wife - perhaps Maria felt unmoored.

Still, it makes me sad that these two couldn't make it. The marriage proved to be adventagous for Arnold; he once famously said that the keys to success were: 1. move to America 2. work your butt off 3. marry a Kennedy. Maria, for her part, has started a successful women's empowerment website. Best of luck to these two.
