"One vagina for the rest of your life. Real smart."

So were the words that actor Vince Vaughn bellowed out to impending bridgegroom Will Ferrell in the hilarious movie OLD SCHOOL. I was talking with my friend, David Zinczenko, who is the exceptional editor for Men's Health magazine, about this. Well, really, he's not my friend. He doesn't even know who I am. I dutifully read his column every month and find myself engaged in great philosophical conversation with him about the fascinating topics he starts every MH issue with. Not knowing much about him, his columns and related photo inserts, protray him as the man of the 21th Century; bright, articulate, handsome, funny, honest, and holding down what's got to be one of the best jobs available. I can say this because...well...its takes one to know one!

Gentlemen, if you are between the ages of 21 to 101, you should, no, you must be reading MH. I guarantee you'll live longer, be wiser, and get laid more often than bedsheets. (no, I do not have any affiliation with MH nor David).

So David tells me that when Men fall in Love with Woman, the deck is stacked, against men. Why? Because we're tied to the biology of the relationship, while woman who fall in love use their heads and think rationally about it. Well, there it is, guys. No long term thought process, no rationalization of your actions, and no attention to details will land you at the jewerly store asking; "Do you like this one, dear?"

But, there is hope. According to recent research, more men are just using their left brains and moving forward with commitments. It seems we are more apt to co-mingle with others than mingle alone. I guess my trip down El Camino Real is predestined. My chromosomes say so. Its just a matter of finding that right woman. Or is H.L. Mencken correct when he says:
"Love is the delusion that one woman is different from another."
