Most of my advice is directed at men, but I’m pretty sure you women will be interested too. Over Thanksgiving, I encountered a serious relationship barrier – football. It offended my girlfriend, on a personal level, that I wanted to spend any part of that day doing anything but looking deep into her eyes […]

At the beginning of the summer, I logged into my bank account to check on whatever paltry amount still existed. That’s […]
It had to happen at some point. I couldn’t go on forever. I always knew that someday I had to worry about my weight. I know what you’re thinking. “Sterling Gray? He’s a man! A man’s man! He’s not some image-obsessed little girl!” First of all, thank you. I always appreciate my fans. But it’s […]
