This is a new weekly column written by a confirmed bachelor to help explain why men are the way they are. But more importantly, how the women in our lives can learn to live with our many foibles. Because face it...as a species, we men are not going to change.

Why are women always so frustrated with their male counterparts? Why do men seem so primitive so much of the time? What are they thinking when they appear to be staring into outer space? All are good questions and all deserve an answer. In future columns I will try and answer them all and more.

I do realize that this column is a risk and I fear I will lose my "man card" for revealing the secrets within. But I feel after years of failed relationships and epic-sized breakups I am more than qualified to answer these questions. I've also come to another realization...it's always not the man's fault. Women just don't get it. We men are very simple creatures. We sleep, we eat, we mate, we watch sports...then the next day we do it all over again...simple.

Hopefully the topics in the coming weeks will help explain why we men are the way we are. And if there is a question about men you feel I have not covered, please feel free to contact me from my byline and I will try and enlighten you. Now...Let's get into our first topic.

Why do men like strip clubs?

Why do men love strip clubs? This is a question that seems to have plagued women for generations. Men don't seem to give it much thought. I'll see if I can explain this phenomenon.

Men frequent these establishments for one reason above all others. And that reason is simple...a guaranteed positive result for your investment. No, I'm not talking about a guaranteed romp in the hay---most men (if they are honest) will tell you that they have never slept with a stripper. Most simply go to the club to get an ego boost. Most strippers, exotic dancers, or whatever the politically correct term is, realize two basic principles:

1) Men, as a general rule, are visually stimulated and, for the most part, can separate the act of sex from emotion.

2) And two, the male ego is quite likely the most fragile creature on the planet.

What a banal and useless article. It sounds like a 6th grader wrote the thing.

No one feels insecure about men going to strip clubs. These comments just seem to be expressing the well-deserved disgust at men who find it necessary to frequent such establishments because of their "egos". These types of men are absolutely pathetic and are lucky to have any woman pay attention to him- even with dollar bills in his hand.

Reading these comments I think the real question is Why do other people feel insecure about men going to strip clubs???

This is about the most mindless article I've seen. "Men" don't go to strip clubs, "certain men" go to strip clubs. They are nearly all losers, as my stripper friend has tried making lovers out of her customers numerous times. She is not 10 years into this "exotic" business, working at high end clubs, and she could be well-qualified in doing a market study on the "type of man" who frequents these places. Most strippers are just desperate women seeking money. What you have when a "certain type of man" visits a strip club, is desperation meeting desperation. The stripper is desperate for money AND attention, and then man is desperate for attention alone. The majority of strippers have been sexually abused. The one's who haven't, still seem to hold a lot of hostility towards men. If this is how you get off, I guess. But don't blame it on "male ego", blame it on your personal inability to cope with issues maturely.

It's so nice to see all guys aren't the same. My husband doesn't go see these ugly hoes either. His brothers go though, and I can see they are unhappy in their marriages. I have no respect for men like that. I bet if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't appreciate their wives needing an "ego boost"

I'm a guy and I would never go to a strip club. It would be completely disrespectful to my girlfriend, who is sexier than any stripper anyway.

what a great way to make your woman feel like she isnt a part of his fantasies and that her body aint worthwhile. thats just great. so basically they settle for what they can get and go out fantasize about another women and come home horny thinking about her. pathetic. i would kick a strippers ass any day in looks and sex.

Men get an ego boost at the expense of making their sig. other feel inferior. Brilliant.
