Why Every Single Male Should Make A Yearly Pilgrimage To Las Vegas by Steve Amarante

It’s been a week since my recent trip to Vegas, and as I reflect on all the tomfoolery, I couldn’t help question some of my fellow single mates, who’ve interrogated me as to why I go spend a seemly ridiculous amount of money on sinful pleasures.  For those skeptics here are two subtle and overlooked reasons.

1.    Vegas helps reduce anxiety approach when you come back home—This may seems counter intuitive as for anyone that has spent any time in Vegas recently, would tell you that women are dressed to impress. Walk the strip and there’s no shortage of 8’s 9’s and 10’s. Here’s a lesson: learn to mentally “bottle up” those 9’s and 10’s; what I mean by this is try to remember how that 10 looks (this shouldn’t be to hard if you’re a breathing male). Now, next time you’re approaching a girl back home, mentally compare the female you’re about to approach to that 10 you saw in Vegas. Chances are-she’s not as attractive.  What will naturally happen is that your approach anxiety will automatically be reduced as the law of contrast kicks in. If you tell yourself “she’s hot but not as hot as the girl I try to approach in Vegas” the likelihood of overcome approach anxiety will be dramatically reduced.

Yes: Even Vegas Can Teach Us A Thing Or Two About Relationships By Steve Amarante

Here’s the thing. Everyone who’s been to Vegas often comes back hyping how great it was. As the saying goes; “What Happens in Vegas, Well, Stays in Vegas”...The slogan along implies that you are in, if anything, for a pretty interesting time.  I’ve been fortunate enough to visit this city 8 times in the past 3 years and I can’t recall a time when I simply didn’t have a blast!

The secret?

What do AIG, Gold Diggers and Chris Brown all have in common? Change for them is hard (by Steve Amarante)

AIG announced today that part of the bail out money provided by the US government was used to distribute performance bonuses as well as bail out, get this, some of the banks that had already received bail out money! Talk about the private sector gone wild. But here’s the thing: No one, President Obama, investors or US citizens should be surprised. AIG went unregulated for years, undisputed and challenged in a world of corporate greed. The behavior of these corporate titans parallels those of men in relationships with gold diggers or women who stay in abusive relationships. Change is hard-but the signs of there disruptively behaviors are around us, and, if identified, we should be not surprised if continuously repeated.
