My husband and I have been married for 4 months and knew eachother 2 months before we were married..Extreme to some. There are times where we will make eachother feel so happy and sometimes so miserable too. Like any couple we fight, and his defence is to walk away, so I let him give him 5 and come out and talk, we never yell at eachother EVER! All it does is let the neighbors know whats going on in your house, and it's not good for our daughter to hear that either.

A mans "Love juice" isn't always the best tasting thing but, if you have your man consume a lot of fruit and or juice it will taste much better, especially if it's high in citrus. We keep our refrigerator stocked with it! I won't lie I hated the taste, but once my husband and I heard about this we tried it and I can't get enough!

Uh, Crocs?! Only appropriate if you are working in your garden or something.

Well, I wouldn't know about "No chocolate"...the guy I'm currently with LOVES chocolate, especially Lindt Dark. He's not the most romantic guy in the world, so I'll probably just take him to our local Lindt store and let him buy whatever he wants.

I appreciate this article it's very informative. Thanks :)
At least now I can understand men better lol


Ashley1989

I never realized this was an issue for me. lol who knew men feel pressured during sex as well!


Ashley1989

It seems men only notice what's on the outside at least that is what I have seen from experience!

I think this is great, thank you!

Wowza.

There are some tremendous truths here...and I'm saying that as a man. (In fact, I just read them out to a female friend, cheering when applicable.)

Some of the reactions to the article are sad; clearly, many have had some horrible relationship experiences.

Bottom-line: just as men have a long way to go to 'understanding women', the equivalent is true for the distaff side. I guess the difference is that men have ALWAYS been reminded of that they don't know...whereas women seem resistant to being told this. Fascinating how entrenched certain attitudes are. To NOBODY'S benefit.

VeryCute
This totally explains why my friends and I are always getting attached to and involved with the creeps, jerks and players! You meet a guy who you think is hot, and soon enough you wind up in bed with him. You soon find out that he is a creep or a jerk, but by then you are already attached to him because of the sex! This is probably why so many girls wind up stuck in bad relationships where the men are drinkers, druggies or physically abusive. I think the lesson to be learned from this is never to jump into bed with a guy until you really know who he is and know him well. Isn't it kinda like what our moms have always been telling us? ;)

probitionate
Actually, this is a very simple...and scientific...truth at play. I believe in the 'Biological Imperative' as the prime motivator for why we're here.

For men, that means spreading seed. For women, it means bearing children. (Naturally, this isn't the ONLY reason any of us are here, merely the core. We are, after all, biological entities, and that means that survival and continuance is what drives us.)

So it only makes sense that women would -generally- have a different process going on post-sex than men would. (Keeping in mind that the body doesn't differentiate between having sex, making love and making babies.)

summergal
I think it's wise to never ask about ex girlfriends or past relationships on a first date. Even though you want to know...

BWilliamsFrancis
really good info--another suggestion-purchase a vehicle repair manual (haynes,chilton's, etc.) for your vehicle. i have saved myself alot of panic and anxiety by relying on my haynes manual. being single and female i have self taught myself how to do many different things to my vehicle for myself..not have to rely on a male. ex: check all my fluids, air pressure in my tires, water in the battery, etc. simply because of this manual. wouldn't leave the driveway without it! ;)

Marvelyn, I am very proud of you. For you too have the courage that you did when you revealed yourself to the public eye tell us a lot about you, however, I feel that because HIV is such of a deadly thing, it's selfish on your behalf when you choose to sleep with another who's negative. I underthand that you are a victim yourself, but a negative person should be educated on the disease, and you should just walk away because you know better than they do. Men can be so stupid when it comes to sex and a good orgasm, so they really don't think about the after-effects. I had a friend/Trina that died in 2004 and my 2nd cousin died in Sept 2007, so I understand how you feel. If I offend you, I'm sorry, but that's just my opinion.

"it can also be a way to remain loyal to our lady friends... But if we find ourselves attracted to other women, porn is a way to neutralize that. If we’re being tempted, we can just pop in some harmless porn"

Ok, I see, I should be greatful that my man is busy pleasuring himself whilst looking at some blonde 38DD breasted woman rather that actually having sex with someone else? I should be glad that hes not cheating on me?

I ask, are you really that incapable of controlling yourself?

I'd love to know what men think about the wives or girlfriends looking at men with toned muscley bodies with 10inch penis's? I tell you now, those that are are thinking about having sex with THAT person and NOT there partner.
Otherwise, whats the point in looking at it?


MyOwnRules

She wasn't saying "all" models are anorexic. She's saying that looking at the ones who are anorexic it's gross.

I never will understand who women "go ballistic" on the other women when they didnt know a thing about the original girlfriend in the first place AND they usually end up keeping the jerk anyway.

But I was always amused at the fact that my now ex (thank GOD) fiance - always lied to me about going to strip clubs or out drinking with his buddies - I didnt care - if he wanted to go for some harmless fun in a club then go for it - but call and let me know you are going to be late and I will be fine. What he didnt know was that one of his best friends who also happened to be a very close friend of mine from 20 years before in high school would call me on such nites to let me know that my fiance was with the guys and he was fine and would be late - so I still knew what he was doing and he was safe and not out running around. I finally got tired of taking the heat for things that his ex wife got ticked off at him about and ended things. He is now with a woman that screams at him if he goes to the bathroom in their house without telling her where he is going. Karma baby ! Gotta love it

uwishtoo
I personally will not date any man that hasnt been totally single for at least 6 months - not separated, not newly divorced, totally and utterly single and widowers ? Forget about it ! Been there and done that twice and not looking for the famous third strike. I actually like it when a man is friendly with his ex wife or girlfriend - as long as it isnt too friendly - lol - but chances are if the women in his past are all bitches and this and that then it makes me wonder how I am going to be referred to six months down the road. As for widowers it is tough enough to contend with an ex (since I refuse to "compete" I wont use that word) but it is impossible to contend with a ghost. I met a nice man within the last year that told me up front that his marriage had been far from perfect so I thought ok well thats good he doesnt have her on a pedestal at least - but it was worse - he felt GUILTY for her not being happy towards the last few years of their marriage before she got sick and eventually passed away so hell I couldn't win for losing with him. He knew she was no saint but it was like he still wanted to make her one so adios to that one

How refreshing that Padma seems so down-to-earth. I can't wait for the new season of Top Chef!

I love Carrie Ann! I remember her on "In Living Color" as one of the fly girlz, along with J-Lo. Go Carrie!

Frenchie
I think the erotic book idea is HILARIOUS. You can even get romantic novels books online now that are customized to you and and your "lover."

Frenchie
Yeah, I agree that permanent anything - be it eyeliner, eyebrows - whatever is a definite no-no. Because what if you want a fuller look, and you're stuck with rail thin eyebrows? Now you see stars like Sienna going the bushy route...something you def can't do if you got them permanently done.

callidora
I hear threading is in style right now. Is this a good idea?

TinyDancer
I LOVE Eliza. I had the privilege to get my eyebrows done by her at Exhale. She's amazing!

best mascara ever: voluminous by loreal.

My boyfriend and I lived together for a year. The good - making dinner together, falling asleep and waking up next to someone, spending lots of time together.

The bad - awkward when going out with friends, arguing over little things (bills, being messy, etc.),spending too much together.

After living with my boyfriend and learning about all his quirks and flaws, I still wanted to be with him and we're closer than ever, so good can definitely come out of moving in together. Just be prepared because it won't be a very smooth ride.

TinyDancer
I might be leaving in September for a year so I'll be forced to try the long-distance thing. It's scary to think about because we spend a lot of time together. It'll be a weird transition.

chicananerd -- ontario
i have made the mistake of moving in together in a few previous relationships. you'd think that after the first or second time i would've learned, but alas the third time was a charm. anyway, after years of living together (miserably) we finally went our separate ways. one word: MESSY. it was sort of understated in this article, but i cannot emphasize enough just how much of a "mini-divorce" it really is.
i live on my own now, and my bf does too. i'll admit, it does feel great to wake up together when we spend the night, or hang out at each other's place for a couple days. BUT we have both made the mistake before so we're really up front and on the same page about how we feel about moving in together.
i say, be in a loving relationship for a LOOOONG time before even considering moving in together.

RaquelRoad
I am afraid that living together might make him call it quits after a fight that wouldn't have ended things if we were married. Yeah, I know I'm somewhat old fashion, but I do think that if you live together before you're married, you're not going into the situation full-force. And by full force I mean with the thought that you are "partners" in this together, not just two people shacking up.

lily -- Los Angeles
I'm going to by myself chocolate today! The good kind (not the cheep drug-store brand). That's why I love Valentine's Day. It's an excuse to eat chocolate. Also - you can make it as good or as bad as you want it to be. When I don't have a date I go out with my friends - my quality friends. And when I do have a date and I'm disappointed by my gift, I buy myself chocolate. Don't let the holiday keep you down!

My worst - well, I don't have a worst....they've all been kind of horrible

Eyebrows actually do change your face. I used to pluck, but in college I started waxing my eyebrows and my face looked and felt so much more fresh and clean. I really felt more confident.

summer-girl
i have noticed that before the big V-Day, radios give out tickets to single-and-mingle type parties. i would call in and try to win. you might get something out of it....wink wink

summer-girl
traveling is key - but i would go with a friend. to go alone is scary - i must admit. i traveled alone and i kept wishing i had a friend or a guy with me so i could go get a drink at night because i didn't want to be out alone at night by myself.

Betsy -- Torrance
I always do my own eyebrows - and pluck the tops. ooooooops.

I saw Carrie Ann on Leno, and he showed a clip of her in the Madonna show. She was ridiculously cool. I wish I was a dancer! arg.

I have the exact same problem. Not fun. I use Neutrogena's oil-free anti-acne moisturizer and it works wonders. You should check it out.

I love Target underwear! Especially their cotton boybriefs. So very comfy and cute.

TinyDancer
I have dry patches on my face in the winter and my face is usually oily. Does anyone have recommendations for brands of moisturizers good for my skin type?

coffeeteame
I went skiing this past weekend an my face is ridiculously chapped. I recommend that anyone who goes skiing (or snowboarding) invest in one of those face masks. They make you look like a creeper, but they are so worth it - for keeping your skin looking good.

MorganC
I like Hannah's quote. “You basically have to decide how much bullshit you’re willing to put up with. Pay attention to your breaking point, and if it gets too stressful, walk away.” It doesn't hurt to try the relationship, but you do have to know when to walk away.

chicananerd -- ontario
for me, it's all about the little things my bf does to show how much he cares in his own way that make him a "keeper".

TinyDancer
I jumped rope during the good ol' days in elementary school when it was more about having fun than losing weight. Kim's right, exercise should be fun instead of feeling like a chore.

TinyDancer
I truly feel for Marvelyn.
She is a beautiful woman and I applaud her for being so courageous to share her story with everyone. But it makes me so angry that people are still having unprotected sex all the time. Let this be a wake up call that diseases are real and it could happen to you or someone you know.

TinyDancer
Kudos for this article. I think it's sexy when girls can play bartender and make cocktails for everyone.

RaquelRoad
Has anyone gone and had them done by a professional? Was it all it's cracked up to be?

Ladies, boys never grow up. They are children. My presidential platform would be to move all men to their own continent once they turn 21. They are only permitted to visit us upon OUR request for conjugal visits only. Then they must return to ManLand. Think how much more peaceful the world would be if the men were all tucked away to do their boy thing together. They need us a heck of a lot more than we need them.

I hate talking about money! I think it's the worst, even when friends ask how much you make. Why do you need to know?

The guy I'm dating takes my dog out for a walk every morning without me asking him, so I know he's a keeper!

No matter how many calories shoveling snow burns, I HATE IT!

summer-girl
My boyfriend doesn't pick me up from the airport....but that's because it's easier for both of us if I take the T. He's still a keeper.

quietplague

i have to laugh. some of it is true but some of it is NOT! esp. about the dating in italy, mexico and australia. the men in spain are generally harmless but you have to watch out for the men in portugal.


callidora
y'know, I really admire girls that can swallow. I can't. It's an acquired taste I must say.

callidora
I've heard that too, Raquel. Similar with Spanish men too - When my roommate traveled to Spain by herself, she a man flirted with her all night then followed her on his bike back to her hotel room, but she spurned his advances and he just left. Really forward, but totally harmless. they seem to be just forward with women, but I don't want to generalize.

callidora
jumping rope is so nostalgic. I haven't done that since elementary school. That's really cool Kim mentioned it

RaquelRoad
I love "The Biggest Loser!" It is so motivational, and it really gets me to the gym. I think it's finally a reality show that does something positive, unlike the "Real Worlds" and "Big Brothers" out there.

RaquelRoad
I've never been to Italy (I'm going this summer!!) but I've heard that the men are really forward. What I don't get is - are they forward in coming on to women, but not forward in asking them out on dates? Confused.....

MorganC
My boyfriend hates to argue, but sometimes I have to bring things up that bother me. I have learned to talk with him as more of a discussion, and less as an all out yelling match.

this whole process is taken waaaaay too seriously for the wrong reasons, and not seriously enough for other reasons. i always feel bad when i walk by a jewelry store and see a guy in there with a look of desperate fear. its one of the things that makes me glad to not be a guy.

kileyrae, you are not alone. i enjoy it too. in fact, it's kind of a turn on for me in a sorta power-play kind of way. i think i may be trying at least a couple of these tips.

as for it giving you bad breath, ok, that's just weird. i have never heard of that at all.

Nightingale
The best relationship I ever had was with a man who was a friend before becoming my boyfriend. We had the perfect relationship in every way except our sex life. It was awful. Dr. Pepper isn't saying you have to be submissive to have a good sex life. She's just pointing out that more equal relationships tend to have less exciting sex lives and offering ways to spice it up. I appreciate her tips.

chicananerd -- ontario
i loooove living alone because all the little neurotic things i do go unnoticed by judging eyes of anyone other than my cat. i do, however, really like it when my bf comes over and spends the night 'cause then its the best of both worlds.

nicole007 -- San Diego
Another way to spice things up is by not doing it for an atypical length of time for you and your partner (a day for some a month for others) then going for it spontaneously out of the ordinary routine like in the car or kitchen table.

Nicoletrue
Naked Hide-N-Seek. LOL. That's great!

SandraSunny
I look at it like a chore. I'd rather be doing something else but I still want to do a good job at it.

KileyRae
Maybe I'm the only woman in the world who does but I enjoy it. Good tips.

I'm into it for five minutes anything longer and I'm bored. The xxxtreme Dr. Sadie's talking about is a good one for men and women.

brandonlive
Ouch! You ladies are tough on us guys. Speaking on behalf of myself and the majority of my heterosexual male friends we like giving oral sex. It's a turn for us and for you. Is giving all that bad for you?

hazel
I'm straight but penisis gross me out. Nothing about looking at one turns me on.

AbbyGal -- Atlanta
The only thing I get out of giving head is knowing it's pleasing my partner and thinking about what I'll get in return. I've never understood how some women will just go down on a guy they're not in a relationship with and know they're not going to get anything in return. What is there to get out of it except maybe a sore jaw and bad breath?

addy
Giving head really is a "job" - I almost gag every time. I only give to receive.

spiritgal
For years I felt a woman "getting on her knees" for a man was degrading. Boy was I wrong! Giving oral sex can be empowering and if it pleases my partner it pleases me. Great tips Dr. Sadie.

space_cowgirl
how interesting. I find this true though. I was "best friends" with my ex boyfriend and it was great, but the sex life became nonexistent after years of dating. We were so comfortable with each other that we stopped looking attractive for each other; i stopped shaving, he stopped going to the gym. It came to a point where we weren't attracted to each other anymore. how awful. this is such a bad trap to be in.

I've tried the mint trick - guys seem to love that one.

My boyfriend is so freaked about buying a ring. Mainly because my family is obsessed with rings! My mom and sister LOVE to go ring shopping "just for fun" and know every cut, shape and style. Whenever he hangs out with my fam, he starts fidgeting, afraid he will be judged. I feel bad for him and the pressure guys have.

I could live in big chunky oversized sweaters and leggings forever. It has to be the warmest and most chic outfit possible.

I drink green tea before a date - tea calms the nerves for every first date.

RaquelRoad
I really feel like the statement about needing to "develop new personas" in bed is so true. My boyfriend and I are best friends, and sometimes when there is a sound during sex, we'll both start laughing (because we have a very similar sense of humor). Laughing always kills the mood, so sometimes we have to role play so we can get into it more, instead of it just being to best friends having sex.

I don't think I look good in turtlenecks. I mean, my neck is too long for my body already - will it make it look longer?

I still stand by Maybelline's great lash mascara. I've tried so many others, but that one's been the only one that stays on for the whole and doesn't smudge on my skin. Any other recommendations?

#5 is so true! My saturdays are spent sitting next to my boyfriend while he cheers on the Patriots/Trojans/Lakers/Steelers or pretty much any game that's on.

For fashion: peruse sample sales, vintage stores, and flea markets.

Museums also usually have free days during the week, and clubs (around L.A.) have discount coupons you can download from their website. It's not being cheap, it's being smart!

leisle -- Westwood
Try going to a concert at a small venue. In LA, you can go to a concert at one of the hip, small venues like the Troubadour for $15, compared to $80 plus bucks at staples. Plus the sound quality is WAY better. And you'll actually get to see the band (not just look at them on the jumbo-tron).

My favorite mascara works wonders, length wise, but it always seems to dry out my lashes, and make them really brittle the next day. Any suggestions for a new mascara?

Betsy -- Torrance
I am just not that in to living alone. Yeah, you can watch whatever you want to, but I love company. Watching a movie by myself seems like a depressing night, but add one person into the equation, and you feel like you're spending quality time with someone.

What a great story Sarah! It's great when people get their just deserts and you actually get to see it, but to have delivered it sounds even better. Way to go.

I think turtlenecks can be really sexy. Yeah, it's like the most covered up you can be - ever, but I really think if you get a tight turtleneck, it's sexier than wearing a deep-v shirt.It shows your curves while leaving something to the imagination!

lily -- Los Angeles
The avocado tip is a good one. Mine ALWAYS turn brown before I have a chance to eat them!

I say I comfy bra should be added to the list. Something that you wear when you want to go to the movies with friends, but don't want to get all dressed up. The more tattered the better.

I love that addy! I hate the word "resolutions," but I never really thought about it. "Goals" is much better, I agree. Resolutions almost has a negative connotation.

Here's the method I'm using: I wrote down my goals for the year with a bold Sharpie pen on a white piece of paper, and it's taped to my bedroom wall, so every time I wake up, I'm reminded of what goals to keep everyday.

Boot lover here! I do think boots are some of the sexiest footwear ever made. Although, my workplace is so casual that I wear my favorite Chuck Taylor black Converse shoes to work.

The worst game is the available / unavailable one. You like me, until I like you back, then you're done! There is a guy in my life who has been so persistent with me for two months, now that I'm showing mutual interest IE) initiating calls / dates - he's become distant.

No more drunk dialing (or texting or emailing) for me in 2008! Also I'm going to stop trying to force a relationship to happen because nothing good comes from it.

EXERCISE!!!


TinyDancer
I don't feel like most of these things listed are necessary. Honestly, all I need is a really good pair of quality jeans and plenty of different tops that will make it seem like I have a huge wardrobe.

I agree! In today's modern world, I'm surprised this sort of 1950s ideology exists. I didn't even notice that. Good point.

As a former competitive runner, I would recommend carbo-loading. Each night before the race my teammates and I would go out for pasta. Although I don't think we needed to consume as much pasta as we did (we would eat huge plates full), it's still a great way to fuel.

"Straight legged pants tend to create a leaner look than flared bell-bottoms." - This one's true. Everyone says I look model-thin in skinny jeans.

I love flip-flops! Especially in SoCal when it's sunny almost 365 days a year.. but I'm not surprised you don't like this footwear on women - I have a ton of guy friends who agree with you and say feet and toes should not be seen unless you're all naked... can you believe that?

It's hard to save money these days, with loans, credit card debts and all. Yet it's so important to save at least a little bit every month (a little goes a long way, as the trite saying goes.) I had to buy a new car when my good-condition car suddenly broke down recently. You just never know what's going to happen.

I know that it's ok to complain once in a while, but lately I've just been so high strung that I've been snapping at the people I love (my boyfriend, my mom, etc) that I end up feeling awful afterward (So awful I can't look at myself in the mirror). I need to find a release, to let go of the negativity in a positive manner.

The cookie skates and gingerbread men cookies are oh so cute. It's a fun and original gift to people to just bake cookies and put them in Christmas tin boxes.

I agree 100 percent. Ever heard of the book "He's Just Not That Into You?" It's worth reading for this and for future relationships. From my experience through relationships with lovers, and I've turned down alot of proposals, if its not there in the first month (try to give it two) then he's just not that into you. Men who are in love without a doubt heavily pursue a woman they can't live without.

When I was given a diary as a little girl I felt like it was a trap. I knew better than to write anything down because it would be "there" for anyone to read. With that thought in mind as an adult I just expect snooping because humans are humans.

He had the medicine in his bathroom first of all, not in an underwear drawer. Secondly, you two actually haven't had sex yet and after two months I would think this is weighing heavily on his mind and thats probably why he hasn't told you. He may be afraid of loosing you... besides that.... two months in a relationship and neither of you have discussed STD's? Just asking.... The mere fact that you two are dating you should feel comfortable to ask regardless of what you found. Just bring up what you told us, where you want the relationship to go and how much you care for him. He may only need a window of opportunity from you....

I can't tell you how happy I was to find Savvy Miss yesterday in my search for information on Bachelor Parties. But I must say I am not reading anything here about what REALLY goes on at these parties. Ladies did you know that the girls who do batchelor parties do not wear a thong? Did you know that they open themselves up and show PINK? Did you know that they run toys of all kinds in and out of their bodies while merely inches from your married husbands? Did you know that if anything is done by someone it is KNOWN that not ONE MAN opens his mouth even to his wife about what happens? Conspiracy Theory that I have already experience myself, this is not fictional. I was naive and thought it was just some titty flashing that they can not touch the women... I thought it was like a strip club - wrong.... While I can enjoy the erotica of a beautiful woman and can enjoy a strip club with my man, what I can not stand is married men covering up these situations and allowing such negative energy to surround weddings. I gave permission for my fella to go to a strip club and have fun but nothing more. No ones house, No private parties, no weekends away with "women". PERIOD. I will not tolerate what I have already seen around someone elses wedding be included in mine. For the women who say "you have to trust them" its not about trusting your man... its about the committed men who to go these functions and use a beautiful event to get a nut while others know adultry is occurring and possible at these marital functions. I'm sorry, if men want to get together for bonding purposed then go play golf, go play pool, even go to a strip club together but don't carry it to an unwelcome extreme. After all I have experienced with batchelor parties I am now thrown into the mix again because my sweetheart's brother is having a weekend getaway in Nevada where prostitution is legal. He would not even allow me to see the invitation. He did tell me that no cameras were allowed. The bride found out about the invitation and made some changes to the evite and set things right. "plenty of food and women" "please keep this only among trusted friends and family" and no cameras - these statements were promptly removed. I might add that my sweetheart kept telling me its all married men they won't do anything infront of their friends. I would like to add that the mad who sent out the invitation is already currently married. I have only stated facts here. Women heads up - there's more going on than these men are telling you.... I didn't mention the girlfriend of mine who walked in the party after the paid girls had left... she was disgusted by the nasty sheets that were left behind. I'm sorry after that I have zero tolerance....

Thanks Nightingale! I think cheap nights out with friends are the best too. The simplest things in life are always the best things.

Kudos to Bobbi for being a strong, successful woman and an important role model! I love that she didn't give in to plastic surgery, like so many girls do these days.

number one is great... I've actually heard that at a bar.

cheap nights out with friends are the best! Fancy clubs are fun sometimes, but really, all you need are good friends and beer in a dive bar. Loved this blog entry!

Galina, that's awful! That's always been my fear - to get pantsed.

I feel bad for this guy!! One, when a guy really likes a girl, his biggest fears are about his performance. If he goes soft, it somehow means he isn't a "real" man. Also, he wants to please you and is worried that he won't. Second, no one is born with killer sex skills, everyone is born a virgin. It's like talking and walking. It's a skill you have to learn. Third, guys learn sex skills from dubious sources and figure if something worked for an ex, it'll work for you. Last, this guy trusts you so much that he was willing to let you see him at his most vulnerable moment and have it be him, versus him playing Casablanca. And what do you do? Complain about it! Sure, the sex might not have been the best, but his performance issue is something that you can work on. The faces and weird noises? What are you? Some kind of critic? If it really bothers you that much, try looking at yourself next time. Maybe you were doing something weird, too! If you're guy wrote into a blog about how weird you were, how would you feel? Yeah. Not too good, huh? Give this poor guy a chance. You were with him once and assumed it would be earth shattering, mind numbing, OMG sex. And since it wasn't, you're considering DUMPING him? I'm sorry honey. But anyone who has sex with a guy once and dumps him because he does a couple of weird noises and has a performance issue isn't worth the guy's
