while i am a big fan of self improvement blogs, i read some of askmen, i resent it.

it only teaches people how to be a stereotypical alpha male (the kind that mistreats women) that the media wants you to be, rather than yourself.

so go and buy a $200 watch to make yourself more attractive and fuel their sponsors.

I find it funny how many spam emails try to get people to buy (real or knockoff) watches...

really? who wears a watch anymore? I haven't worn one since I was a teenager... once pagers and cell phones came out, who needs to carry two devices that tell time? Not I.

I don't carry my cellphone anywhere, so I do still wear a watch.

Well, I can't argue with that... if you're only carrying one device. :-)

I agree.

That was my major accuracy complaint with Computer Engineer Barbie... (well, that and her stupid leggings, but, fashion is subjective, so I let that lie): http://shop.mattel.com/product/index.js ... Id=4032107
