Jobless Cougar
06-06-2011
Q: Dear Ask-a-girl: I'm a middle-aged girl who is currently job-seeking because I was laid off last year. Although I have marketable skills, I have gone on several interviews with no luck. I have a sneaky suspicion, it's because I'm older and competing with a bunch of fresh, twenty-somethings. What should I do?

A: I'm feeling you on this one girlfriend. The labor market is unfortunately dependent on the sad state of the economy and I can't think of anyone who hasn't felt ...

Wedding Crasher?
05-30-2011
Q: Dear Ask-A-Girl: My ex-girlfriend has sent me an invitation to her upcoming wedding. Her family and I were very close since we were together for five years. In fact, I'm still good friends with her brother, who will also be in the wedding. I'm torn about whether to go or not since I'm now in a different relationship. Help!

A: Dude! I'm sure if we were sitting in a bar somewhere discussing this over say, some Blue Moons, the guys and girls would have a completely different answer. You...

What Would Jesus Do?
05-17-2011
Q: My family is hard-core Christian. I'm talking "bible-belt, Praise the Lord, say-grace-before-eating Christian. The guy that I'm going out with says he doesn't believe in God. He pretends to be Christian around my family. If they found out he wasn't for real, they wouldn't accept him. I love this man, but I don't think I can make a future with him because he's Atheist. What should I do?

A: Holy Rollers Batman! We've got two very extreme ends of the religious spectrum going on here, but I haven't heard where you fit in? Are you Rush Limbaugh right ...

04-19-2011

Just when you thought you had us figured out, we go and and change the rules of the game, right? You signed up for a hot wife and slowly b...

What do jackasses have that I don't?
04-07-2011
Q: Why do the ladies like the macho jackass types? Why do they treat the nice guys badly, and run to these goons that treat them like dirt? It seems like I go out of my way to be nice and end up getting the short end of the stick. SHould I start acting like a jerk?

A: Yes! By all means, act like a douche lord and have them swarming like bees to honey. See, that's not working out so well for the goons either, I'm pretty certai...

Collector of Crap
04-02-2011
Q: I got a question. My husband is a collector of everything. There is sports memorabilia crap everywhere. There is an empty beer can collection in my bedroom!!! My whole house is full of clutter. I can't stand it. I wasn't raised that way and I'm almost at the point where either the junk has to go, or hubby does! I've told him a million times, and now I feel like I'm just being a nag and he's tuning me out. What to do?

A: I'm feeling you on this one girl. If there's one thing I hate, it's clutter. I'm the antithesis of a hoarder, the polar opposite of a pack rat. Clean house to m...

Role Reversals
03-28-2011
Q: My girlfriend of 3 months wants to role play in the bedroom. No biggie. I'm down for just about anything. I have been holding back with her because she seems kinds mellow, so it is a nice surprise. But here's the kicker. She wants me to dress up like a nurse. A FEMALE nurse. I don't mind playing doctor, but if she wants a guy to have sex with that wears a skirt and a wig, she's got the wrong guy. How do I tell her that I want to get freaky, just not that freaky without making her think I'm some kinda prude?

A: Ok, so I'm thinking either you're not that observant of a guy, or this girl's gone from zero to porno in 3.8 seconds. And I must say I'm more than a little curi...

Unsightly Trash Cans
03-24-2011
Q: I like my neighbors, but they never bring their trash cans in. It makes our street look bad and I don't like my guests to have to see trash cans next to our house when they visit on a non-trash pickup day. What is a polite way to tell them that they need to stop being so lazy and inconsiderate?

A: Is there a polite way to say stop being lazy and inconsiderate? I think not. But you're concern is valid and nothing says ghetto like a bunch of trash cans in t...
