When I sat down to write this post...

...I was reading an interesting article. Apparently birth control pills can harm your ability to secure a suitor because they reduce the amount of pheromones that you give off, which ultimately reduces your ability to attract quality men. I find this amusing because, well, I think it is true.

When I was in my 20s and on the pill, I couldn't find a man interested in a relationship to save my life. I found plenty interested in shacking up for an hour or two, but not those interested in a real commitment. When I lost my job, and ergo lost my health insurance, I was unable to afford the pill, so I just didn't take it. Within a month or so the men appeared.  They couldn't get enough of me. They were literally begging to get a piece of this action.  I thought it had something to do with the fact that I lost 10lbs the first month I went off the pill ...don't ever believe them when they say the pill doesn't pack on the L-Bs.

So now I must question whether it was me -- did I really do something that intrigued these guys -- or was it the fact that I stopped taking the pill?
