I gotta love me some Dr. Laura, and lady cultural anthropolgists.
“Baby… you don’t understand, it’s not my fault… it’s my mad testosterone. Oh… and also, you don’t focus on my needs.”
I think Dr. Laura’s observations are pretty sound, in the specific case of men who are married to Dr. Laura in particular. I mean, did you ever get a look at the nude Dr. Laura photos? I did, and they are none too easy on the eye. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to eat pancakes again.
Now, in the case of Eliot Spitzer, whose wife is apparently a brilliant, motivated, selfless Jennifer Aniston lookalike, it doesn’t make a whif of sense. I’d have taken his wife over Kristen any day, given the chance.
I have emailed this to my girlfriend, with the instructions, “Please read, and make the necessary changes.”
I think all my stuff’s going to be on the lawn when I get home.
It is a common belief among the anti-feminists, the woman is always at fault. Check out Kathleen Parker, Paglia, Hoff-Sommers. Dr Laura’s new book faults women for not treating their husbands as warriors and heroes.
Appropriate username, for sure!
No, you don’t understand - I was moving anyway. Now I’ll have half as much work to do 
One of my psych professors mentioned the high cheekbone thing - but also added that humans have free will, so it’s still his fault.
Specifically, my need to have sex with a variety of attractive young women.
As the police tell people who are arrested for sexual assault and try to blame the victim:
Hey! You don’t need a partner if you got a good hand.
Dr. Laura is full of s–t. But hey, that’s not news.
Even if Mrs. Spitzer did her absolute best to live up to his requirements, she couldn’t keep him from going to a hooker; she couldn’t supply the kind of power relationship he’s looking for, nor the delicious sneaking-around-getting-away-with-something feeling.
I have to agree with this. Guys whose wives are truly neglecting them (or who perceive such) get girlfriends, I think, not hookers.
Yes, and my phrenologist says it’s plain as day that his vanity outweighs any sense of duty to his familly.
I think what Schlessinger is saying is that if a husband and wife have a healthy sexual relationship, the man won’t stray.
If they DO have a healthy sexual relationship and the man STILL strays, then yes, kick him to the curb.
We’ve all heard stories about the wife who suddenly decides, for whatever reason, that she’s done having sex. As Ron White says, “I’m a good dog, but you have to pet me once in awhile if you expect me to stay under the porch.” He is quite candid in his stand-up routine about the break up of his first marriage…his wife stopped wanting sex, and after three months, he met a woman during a stand up routine, and she invited him home. Denying sex to your husband for months is just as bad as the husband demanding sex 20 times a day…they are not in sync.
Now, we don’t know the Spitzer’s marital relationship. As I mentioned in another thread, he may have had carte blanche to practice his kinkiness outside the marriage, as long as he was discreet. She may or may not have been a tiger in bed…we don’t know. But I think most married men WANT to have sex with their wives, and they feel rejected if their wife doesn’t.
Am I excusing Eliot Spitzer? Not in the least. He’s an ass of the highest order.
-every woman OUGHT to be reading up on the latest tricks to please her husband with! Why don’t women understand this?
Is the cheekbone/brow ridge thing even true? Can you look at a man’s face and determine that he has high testosterone?
Guys whose wives are truely neglecting them shouldn’t get a girlfriend or hooker. They should get a divorce.
If you need to go stick your nose elsewhere cause your SO isn’t fullfilling your needs you should man up about it and leave the situation.
If you’re at a job that isn’t paying enough you leave that job and get a different one. You don’t start embezelling from the company then blame them for not fulfilling your needs.
You should see a retrophrenologist. They do far more good. retrophrenology
Probably because some them have finally noticed that Cosmo has been printing the same sex tricks since ~1975.
I once saw a greeting card with a picture of a fantastically hot chick on the front, open it up and it said -
“No matter how hot she is, somewhere some guy is sick of her shit”
Hot brilliant motivated chicks can still be frigid hags at home.
That said, Spitzer is still an idiot that deserves what he’s getting. A divorce is cheaper than a $4000 hooker, loss of job, and a divorce.
High testosterone does lead to recognizable features. I read several months ago that when showed pictures of men and asked if they would like to boink or marry them, the women generally said they wanted to boink the men who showed signs of high testosterone and marry the men who had features characteristic of lower testosterone levels. I have to run to class, but I’ll try to find the article when I get back.
