Ask (insert female name here)
Why are all of the advice columnist I see women? My best guess it is because women reading it think women are right and the men reading it are doing so for the comic value. This is one from MSN today; MSN seems to have a dozen or so women giving advice.

“Lynn” is all touchy feely with the advice and even starts out with a congratulations on the baby. She’s a woman and even though she seems to be half way on the guy’s side if you really look at several spots where she brings it up she’s basically saying “You aren’t getting any more “me” time when the baby drops.” What would be a more realistic male response?
Dear Overwhelmed,
You start off with, “My girlfriend and I are pregnant with our first child.” Please come to your senses. Your girlfriend is pregnant with as far as you know her first child and until you have a paternity test when she gives birth you’re hoping it’s yours. You’ve also apparently knocked up an unemployed, demanding, whining, little tramp. She carouses all day while you work and as soon as you’re off work she has you under her thumb. She needs to be appraised like a property and as a property she would be considered a negative cash flow – not a good thing. When the baby drops that will just double the negative cash flow and your “me” time will completely vanish.
One hopeful point – you say you sometimes leave without saying anything at all. Hopefully you are practicing? If you’re not practicing for a permanent leave then my only advice is to possibly do a blog or You Tube series on your life as it spirals downhill from here. You may save another male from your fate and possibly put some advertising on your site to recoup some of your losses in this relationship.
