Mercer’s Advice to Women

Ladies, want the straight talk on what men think? This section’s my take—raw, respectful, and real. After years of marriage, fatherhood, and now life with Maren, I’m spilling what guys want (and don’t). From gift ideas that don’t end up in a drawer to decoding our communication quirks, I’ve got you covered. It’s not about stereotypes—it’s about understanding the guy in your life, whether he’s 30 or 65. Need advice for a special occasion? I’ll tell you how to nail it (and what to avoid). Think of me as your wingman, offering a male perspective with a touch of irony and a lot of heart. This isn’t just for women—it’s for anyone who wants to bridge the gap and build stronger connections. Let’s get real about relationships, from a guy who’s been there.
