Introduction
How to pick (or adapt to) your man based on what kind of toy he wants
Toys lure in women, just like good worms lure in fish
Toys prevent boredom and thus prevent insanity (on the part of everyone that bored guys come into contact with)
Men need to be spontaneous, and toys offer a safe way to maintain their youthful spontaneity
Gadgets prevent infidelity
Men hate ambiguity
Protector toys: how guys expose their nurturing side through technology, even if they don't know it
Toys help relieve stress in men - they really do
The whole midlife crisis thing and gadgets
Girls and their curls: women like stuff, too, and what this means for men
The dark side: men use gadgets to fend off meaningful conversations and emotional entanglements
For some men, gadgets are a substitute for watching sports 24/7: there really is no such thing as a non-gadget guy (and you should be so lucky to be married to this kind of man)
The meaning of BlackBerry
The Wile E. Coyote phenomenon: why are men undeterred by gadget failure?
Postscript.
