In a man's life, he will experience a variety of unique, yet no less special, relationships with women. First, his mother, or whoever plays the maternal role in his early years. The woman who protects him, makes him feel safe. Who holds him close when the thunder booms and the winds wail. The woman he compares all other women to for the rest of his days. As he gets older, a mother has to set her child free unto the world, where he will quickly learn there is no substitute. And while no girl he meets could live up to the standard, the women he loves are no less a part of him. His first love. The first girl he ever thought he got pregnant. The first girl he ever thought, "Yeah, I can do this. Forever."; the first time he proves to himself that he's grown up. By the time he's #SingleAfter30, though, those Hallmark relationships start becoming further and fewer between. Instead of puppy love day dreams and white picket fence fantasy, he gets a big dose of #SingleAfter30 reality. What? You didn't think that cute cashier ringing you out for your Lonely Meal For One was checking you out, did you? That's judgement in her eyes, pal, not longing. No, by the time a man is #SingleAfter30, he's fortunate if he has one meaningful relationship with a woman. Just one. Because if he has her, he won't need any other. The 2AM Girl. While it may be possible to throw a great party without the assistance and backing of a billionaire playboy, Warner Bros.

I was up in Maine a few days ago, and decided to go to my favorite watering hole Brays Brew Pub in Naples Maine. Walked inside, sat down and turned my head to the black chalk board on the wall, it has all of the Brays fresh beer that they brew and its on tap. Dan Martin
