Is “Me Too” Taboo for Men to Discuss?

For decades, the feminist movement has demonized men.  However, over the last decade, the feminist movement has become less popular amongst women in the US.  Is the “Me Too” movement a desperate attempt to bring life back to feminism?  Or are men the beastly animals that feminism has depicted?

Who Needs Sex More: Men or Women?

That’s right.  We talked about S-E-X.  This past Sunday on Straight Talk, with Ted Santos and Blair Nash, we got down and dirty with everyone’s favorite subject.  We wanted to know: Why Does Sex Conjure up So Much Controversy?  It was interesting to hear people openly discuss their thoughts about sex, sexual conversations and what happens when it’s not available.

While men and women called into the show, Blair and I put a couple of ladies

Why Does Sex Conjure Up So Much Fear and Controversy?

If love is the bond that brings people together, is it possible that most do not know

Should Men Discuss the Red Flags They See in the Woman They Are Dating?

Should Men Look for Warning Signs?

What Are the Red Flags Men Should Be Aware of When Dating?

Fellas, when you first get to know a woman, she will put her best foot forward.  Some call it her representative with great manners.  After a certain time period, she dismisses the representative and makes her first personal appearance.  Because the real person is so different from the representative, you may feel as though you are

Are There Advantages or Disadvantages to Being a Player?

Do Women Really Choose the Wrong Men? Or Is There More to the Story?

Why Do Women Choose the Wrong Men?

If all men were bad, it would make sense for women to choose the wrong guy.  Better said they would not have a choice except to be with the “bad boy”.  However, since most men are good, how does

What Do Men Really Need from Women?

If you listened to this past Sunday’s show, Straight Talk, thank you.  If you missed it, wow, you missed something special.  So often women say men don’t communicate.  Well, on this show, several men communicated exactly what they needed from the woman in their lives. 

In this amazingly open and transparent discussion, most men expressed a common theme about their needs from women.  It was support, communication and intimacy/love.  Not only did these men clearly articulate their needs, they gave details and examples of what they meant by support, communication and intimacy. 

As anticipated, Straight Talk with Ted Santos and Blair Nash has become a platform for men to discuss their perspective about love and relationships.  It’s the perfect place for young men who have grown up without a father in the home.  The conversations give young men an opportunity to hear guys of all ages discuss relationships, expectations and responsibilities.  In addition, for the ladies of all ages who are struggling to understand men, this is the best place in the world to hear men, uninterrupted.  And the show allows women to call in and ask their toughest questions.

Next Sunday, November 11, the topic will be just as engaging and perhaps controversial.  Straight Talk is the place where you can speak about the things everyone avoids.  Join us!

Can a Woman Be “Too Old” for Marriage?

When someone said beauty was only skin deep, they were not kidding.  There are so many women, who appear beautiful, yet are perpetually single.  Some of them claim it’s a choice.  Is that a fact?  Do all these women really want a life without love and affection?  Or is there more to the story?

Is Your Mind Dangerous?

People use their minds to survive.  Without the mind to survive, perhaps mankind would have become extinct eons ago.  However, the mind can also be somewhat lazy.  When it’s lazy, it goes into autopilot.  In autopilot, it does not use logic and reason.  It mostly reacts, like knee jerk responses.  In autopilot, the mind becomes less interested in
