Can't Tell the Players Without a Scorecard
"So much subliminal information is conveyed in those first seconds of contact," says Carol Kauffman, Ph.D., a relationship therapist and psychology instructor at Harvard medical school. Okay, so you're on the clock. Make every second count. Below are 10 ways - in rough chronological order - a woman judges your fitness to be her proverbial daddy.

The first statement, quite true, the eye contact, body language, tone of voice, not to mention what is said initially effect every relationship. I thought this was true for both sexes and pretty much everyone in general (it's certainly how my cat's interact anyway). Apparently only women take this information into affect and it's only so they can find someone to replace their father! Excellent, I'm, excited now I know how to date like a real woman! Do i really need to mention the creepy overtones of that statement or trying to lend credibility to their statements by using a quick-quote from a doctor? Okay good.

Can He Talk About Himself and Listen to Me?

She'll carry 80 percent of the conversation load. Just make sure your 20 percent is about something.

Nice straw-woman. Very nice.

Does He Have the Potential to be a Good Father?

"For long-term potential, she considers whether you have the values she wants in a man," says Jean Koehler, Ph.D., president of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. If she can't see tykes on your knee, she's wasting her time. How you interact with your own family can be a strong indicator here.

I believe this was the one that inspired rage. It's not outlandish to say they may look at certain things you do for possible long term relationship sometimes, but the automatic assumption that all women everywhere (or at least straight women as we shall presume that a periodical such as Men's Health is not catering to lesbians) are looking for a man to inseminate them, well I feel insulted how about you ladies? I know I enjoy being told I am nothing but a baby hungry relationship seeker.

Time to stumble off in a slightly drunk rage to bed.
Read the rest, it's um, pleasant

This is the best argument I have found in the national media (so far) that gives reasoning as to why the HPV vaccine should be a mandatory shot like polio.

"This vaccine can stop a cancer that kills about 4,000 American women a year. The Centers for Disease Control advisory committee recently recommended that the vaccine be given to all girls by age 13...Some social conservatives, however, are fighting these efforts.Their rationale is as follows: Cervical cancer is caused by the human papilloma virus, which is sexually transmitted. By doing away with the fear of most cervical cancers, this vaccine may give adolescent girls a green light to have sex."

Because with our fabulous abstinence-only policy, girls know what HPV is. I SWEAR.

"Let's dispose of the green light. Vaccine or no, the teens would remain vulnerable to a variety of other diseases, including AIDS. There remains plenty to warn them against. Then there's reality. Even before the vaccine was available, 70 percent of American girls were having sex before they reached 18. So much for the deterrent value of cervical cancer."

I've had an abnormal pap, so has my sister, both of us ended up being treated for HPV, I had a biopsy, she had to have her cervix frozen.
