Dear Playboy Advisor: Questions from Men and Women to the Advice Column of Playboy Magazine
Buy DEAR PLAYBOY ADVISOR:
QUESTIONS FROM MEN AND WOMEN
TO THE ADVICE COLUMN OF PLAYBOY MAGAZINE

If you’ve read Playboy magazine over the years (and by “read”, we mean “flipped through the pages to the pictorials, occasionally check out the interview, read the Playboy Funnies, and check out a cartoon or two”), then you should be familiar with Chip Rowe and the rest of the Playboy Advisor staff of intelligent and well-read question-and-answer writers.

Sure, Web Watch could point you to any number of articles about how to secure your wireless router, but why should we do that when Playboy has summed up the steps to take in such an easy-to-understand manner and pleasant packaging?

How Extreme Couponing Works, and how to save money at the grocery store with it

Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey: Save Big Money & Make the Grocery Aisle your Catwalk!

If you’re like Web Watch, you watch a lot of television. And one of the more recent interesting series we’ve caught is TLC’s EXTREME COUPONING.

You know the show – it features shopping trips by couponing fanatics who are able to save 90% or more on their supermarket bill by careful planning and using coupons.

TLC’s cameras follow these proud hoarders around the store as they fill their shopping carts with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise that they’ll pay just cents on the dollar for – and then show us their “mini-marts” of storage at home, where they have enough cereal, bathroom supplies, and diapers to last for months or years without returning to the store ever again.

While Web Watch admires some of these coupon folks for using their shopping knowledge to supply charities or care packages for overseas troops, it’s those featured on the show that end up buying products that they’ll never use that really concerns us. One show featured a woman who had almost a year’s worth of diapers in her storage area – she’s not married, pregnant, or has any children of her own. She did this so she’ll be ready when that time comes.

Just what every baby needs to wear – disposable diapers that are five years older than they are.

Computer Biometric Finger Scan

Password security is an oft-discussed topic here on Web Watch – we’ve covered it with a list of the most common passwords, how kids select passwords, and how “TIGGER” is not a good password, among other topics.

So when some more password analysis became available due to the recent security breach at Sony, Web Watch felt it was important to share again how bad people can be with picking passwords — which should help reiterate how important it is for our Web Watch readers to have a good password policy of their own.

Resume Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer

When was the last time you had to write a resume?

You never know when you may find yourself in a situation where you may need to produce your resume at a moment’s notice. Web Watch recommends that once a year, you take out your existing resume and update it with the past 12 months-worth of accomplishments, while your most recent job review is fresh in your mind.

It won’t hurt, and then you have it ready on the off-chance that a recruiter calls you with “The Most Ultimate Job Opportunity Ever… if I can have your resume in my hands by 3:00pm today…”

Adopting? Try a “pregnancy” photo gallery

Deluxe Belly Cast & Bold Decorating Kit

Everywhere you look there are pictures of smug pregnant women.

Women who are thrilled with being pregnant, proud to show off their baby-oven – whether it be with belly casts or pumpkin paint.

And there’s nothing wrong with this. Many articles have been written about how some women become more beautiful to their spouses when they’re pregnant. How pregnancy only enhances her looks as she changes from “woman” to “mother”.

But there shouldn’t be a double-standard on this.

Perhaps you’ve run into this issue yourself: you’re happily cruising around the Internet using Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 9 – most likely in Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Everything seems fine for pretty much every website you hit.

Until you visit a website… like DISNEY.COM… and you are shown a mobile version of their site.

Wedgie Tales and Panty Lines

Are you one of those women who go out of their way to avoid any semblance of panty line or tan line?

Just like you, Web Watch knows plenty of women who fear having panty lines so much that they are the first ones to admit that they invented going commando. These women get angry at the thought of having to “be proper” and wear any sort of underwear that makes its presence known on the outside of their slacks or dresses.

Web Watch hears your screams. We’re here to help.
