I really don’t believe it’s all biological or that men are pigs.

That’s a lot of hogwash! (Get it? Get it?… Never mind.)

It’s just a question of circumstance, opportunity and attitude.

Plenty of women cheat. Just as much as men, I’d wager.

So here are my three vague theories about why it seems like men cheat more than women.

1. Generally more men are successful than women.

Hang on.

Don’t get your panties in a twist just yet.

Read the whole paragraph before going straight to the comments and ranting.

We have the infamous glass ceiling.

Women typically make less money than men, and get passed over for more executive promotions than men because of the fact that they’re the ones who get pregnant and give birth to babies.

That’s it.

That’s the only major difference between men and women in the workplace — maternity leave.

As a side note, great solution would be to implement mandatory paternity leave so it evens out the playing field.

For that reason, it is why men are generally more successful than women.

Which means, they are also usually the gender that is under the most scrutiny from the media and it SEEMS as though more men cheat than women.

2. Women in the relationship seem to be mistresses most of the time.

It really seems as though in many of the cases of women coming forward and saying that she slept with so-and-so, she is a single woman (or escort) with no boyfriend or husband.

It never seems to be a married woman with kids who risked it all to be with a politician or famous celebrity.

Those famous men are generally always married with/without kids and just simply have more to lose.

3. Men seem to be intimidated by famous, successful women.

Which means, that average men don’t approach said women.

And the chances of a married woman celebrity cheating on her husband is quite low as a result.

If they see a sexy celebrity across the way, most Average Joes are not going to go up and start whispering sexy sweet nothings in her ear.

They’re thinking: What the heck do I have to offer to her? She’s rich, famous, beautiful AND smart. I have nothing she wants.

The opposite is true with women approaching men.

Those women know they have the beauty and body that those men are craving for, and perhaps a slight biological need to spread the seed around, kicks into place.

A man with lots of women throwing themselves at him, is a happy man. He’ll take any of them.

And a woman, with lots of men after her, is a happy woman… but seeing as she has the “power” in these relationships, will only pick the best of the lot, and secure her choice.

More strategic, I think.

So those are my three hare-brained theories about why it SEEMS as though men cheat on women more.

Care to share any of your own?

Good for a laugh!

As requested, here are the pictures!

It might seem like extra stuff and it is.

It’s two extra pieces, and while they do stack and fold flat on top of each other, they’re still extras.

However, I’ve noticed the following:

Change in my posture

I now sit back, and look at the screen sitting upright.

Laptop is running cooler

Being propped up instead of blowing hot air on the table

Full-sized keyboard with number pad is  very useful

And I can move everything off the area in front of me so I can work with a notebook instead.

Or just use it normally as an easel to hold my things so I can reference my notes as I type.

Oh yes, the last bonus is that I can eat in front of the computer without making a mess on the computer.

Like so in my hotel room:

This lets me indulge in my obsession with watching food shows on television while eating.

It makes me enjoy my food more. Or something like that.

(Or sometimes, I just pretend I’m eating whatever I’m seeing on the screen)

Spoon

Original Use:

An eating utensil, best used for liquids such as soups.Was made famous by running away with the dish in a children’s nursery rhyme “Hey Diddle Diddle”, and can be re-purposed as a verb to describe cuddling (“spooning”)…

Double Agent Uses:
A parlour game (make it balance on your nose), or an eyelash curler.

For real! Take any spoon (plastic or metal), close your eyes, and cover your eye with the bowl of the spoon (the curved-in part), while getting your eyelashes to stick out from the upper rim of the spoon.

With your other hand, use your fingers to bend your lashes up against the outside of the spoon and hold it for a few seconds. Warm fingers work best. And you can curl in sections.

Aspirin

Original Use:
To stop headaches caused by a number of factors, including annoying people on the train.

Double Agent Uses:
An salicylic acid treatment (for acne). Crush it up into a fine powder and mix with water. Spread it on your face and let it dry. Go to bed. Wake up pimple-free. The reason why it works is because aspirin has properties of salicylic in it.

Conditioner

Original Use:
Great for conditioning your hair to make it feel soft and silky by covering it in a thin film of conditioning agents

Double Agent Uses:
Moisturizing Body Wash or Shaving Cream (I actually prefer it over actual shaving cream).

Dental Floss

Original Use:
Getting gunky bits of food out from being wedged in between your teeth; Keeps your gums healthy

Double Agent Uses:
As a shoelace fix or a piece of string to tie something up in a pinch. It is surprisingly strong as it is made out of many little fibers, like spidersilk.

Have you ever tried ripping a piece of that stuff in half with your bare hands!? (Rhetorical. I of course, have tried.)

Toothpaste

Original Use:
Used as a gritty paste to help scrub plaque away from your teeth. (I’ve switched to baking soda, same diff)

Double Agent Uses:
To clean sterling silver. It is surprisingly effective and cheap. Dab some on a Q-Tip & start scrubbing.

Avoid using whitening toothpaste on silver, and don’t leave the toothpaste on the silver or it will start to grow mold.

Honey

Original Use:

Made by bees, coveted by bears, stolen appropriated by humans.

Double Agent Uses:

A moisturizing, sticky lip gloss in a pinch. It works, but it isn’t very liquidy, I must admit. And then there’s the problem of eating it off your lips without knowing it…

Hey, these are short-term quick fixes!

Olive Oil

Original Use:

To eat and to dip soft pieces of French baguette into, with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Mmmmm…

Double Agent Uses:

A lip balm in a pinch, or my perennial favourite, an all over body moisturizer!

Be forewarned, it doesn’t absorb into your skin completely, as it is a pure oil. It WILL leave a film all over you, so I tend to do this mostly on my legs, and when I’m wearing skirts..

Oh and apparently butter and other oils work as well. I prefer olive oil, however…

Hand Sanitizer

Original Use:
Made to kill 99.9999% of all germs (bad AND GOOD bacteria). Used A LOT by paranoid, frantic mothers in playgrounds when little Timmy touches the miniature walking neighbourhood petri dish Tommy. (I am more of a warm water and soap kind of girl…)

Double Agent Uses:
A quick way to refresh your roots when your hair is too oily.

Instead of using baby powder (recommended for light-coloured beauties), use a small dab of hand sanitizer which is made out of alcohol, on your roots.

An alternative is to use witch hazel to rub into your roots. That’ll also refresh your hair.

Baby Powder

Original Use:
Used to pat on the bottoms of babies, around the world, to keep them feeling dry and smelling like a baby instead of a walking pooping machine.

Double Agent Uses:
As a deodorant or as a in-a-pinch dry shampoo.

As a deodorant, you can rub a little bit of it under your armpits and wear a long-sleeved shirt. In the summer, I almost like to spread it all over my body (on the parts that will be hidden to avoid looking like I played in a big tub of white flour) to keep dry and smell-free.

As a dry shampoo, this should only be used for light-haired beauties. You can also use corn starch instead of baby powder if you don’t have any around.

Yoghurt

Original Use:
To eat, to receive those awesome belly-friendly bacteria to keep your tummy happy and regulated.

Double Agent Uses:
Plain yoghurt is great as a masque. I spread a table spoon or three, all over my face, leave it for half an hour (no fear of licking it off, it is gross without any sugar in it).. and my face feels refreshed, soft and more even-toned.

Rubbing Alcohol

Original Use:
Disinfectant for when you fall and scrape yourself. I think I also saw a hobo try to drink it as a cheap form of alcohol.. something I DO NOT recommend doing.

Double Agent Uses:
Use it to wash your feet and your armpits with. It will kill the bacteria responsible for causing that stink in your feet that you get from sweating a lot.

Man’s Last Stand

In regards to the people who approved this commercial (and not as a slam against men):

When did going to work and making money, plus doing basic chores constitute as being too difficult?

Did they want to be taken care of, like babies? And for their mommy wife to do everything for them?

Maybe they should also get a respirator to help them breathe, so they don’t have to do by themselves.

Women’s Last Stand

Here’s the spoof

What’s ironic, is I am now driving a Dodge Charger (rented) for the trip back and forth to Ottawa.

My minivan can’t handle the stress, being more than 10+ years old.

But if the contract goes on for a year, I’ll move there and drive my minivan instead.
