Who is 'That Girl' anyway? Is she a sketchy drunk? An insecure mess? An attention whore? One thing is clear, the phrase That Girl is a stigma-laden expression. Whatever you're doing as That Girl, rest assured, you're doing it wrong. But a therapist who listens to women fret about being That Girl thinks maybe That Girl…
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THERE IS A MAN SHORTAGE IN HONG KONG. STOP THE PRESSES! THEN REMOVE THE PRESSES AND REPLACE THE PRESSES WITH MACHINES FROM THE OLD BROKEN DOWN MAN FACTORY. WE NEED MORE MEN, GODDAMN IT!
On Monday, Salon published a piece by Tammy Delatorre entitled "Dating in a push-up bra." There's not much to say about it that can't be gleaned from reading the piece, except to say that it's unfortunate it didn't get a spot in the just-published Worst in Sex writing for 2013.
There's a reason Garfield hates Mondays (and loves lasagna, but that's not relevant for this post). If you plan a date on Monday, you are four times more likely to be cancelled on — or to cancel it yourself — than if you planned a date for the weekend. This is the Dating News You Can Use from Match.com. In other news,…
Per to the New York Times, Lulu is the hot new app that all ladies should be downloading. Yes, we're aware
Reality TV continues on as a medium, never wavering from its dogged path towards becoming a sadistic ritual orchestrated by cruel and ruthless overlords for the enjoyment of the masses. Hooray! What's next? Well, apparently The Real World (which is miraculously, impossibly STILL ON) will undergo a format shake-up to …
Today, a study from the Ministry of Underestimation has found that one in ten women prefer their pet to their partner. (Other forthcoming studies: Cheese Is Pretty Ok; Some People Like Soccer a Little).
On Monday we learned about that the women of Brooklyn are going to die alone
According to online dating site AYI (Are You Interested?)*, single women in Brooklyn are the pickiest in the country. After polling almost half a million of its users around the United States, AYI deduced that Brooklyn, Detroit, Minneapolis, Cincinnati and Los Angeles were the cities where women were the least likely…
More importantly, you're probably also having a better time, and that's what really matters. But, you know, back to the looking attractive to other people thing because that's what's really most important.
Online dating is no longer just for rejects, simpletons, and that dude in AP History with the hump (the sexy hump! what!), it's now one of the main ways people meet their mates.
Not to brag, but I've spent years of my life with various Unemployed Boyfriends. None of them were lazy (well one of them was lazy); they'd just been dealt a shitty hand or were trying to make it in an industry that just wasn't that into them. The good news is that, as far as I'm (intermittent Facebook stalk) aware,…
Remember way back when Vanilla Ice and Madonna were dating? Vanilla Ice sure does, and he was kind enough to publicly reminisce about all that time he and his former best gal spent going to movies disguised as old people.
The title of a recent Guardian article about the technological/cultural atomism and alienation keeping many 20-something Japanese men and women from engaging in intimate, romantic relationships is suitably provocative: “Why have young people in Japan stopped having sex?” Well, reader? Were you even aware that young…
If there's one thing we've learned from this whole #StarbucksDrakeHands
Carrot Dating App lets men bribe "dates" out of women. One of the examples they give? Say you need a tank of gas. Go out with his rich guy and in return, he will buy you a tank of gas! Um, guys, I have no problem with that, but I'm pretty sure it's not called dating.
When it comes to summarizing the nuanced ups and downs of relationships, this single-shot five minute video gets it. From slightly awkward first impression to the apparently inevitable threesome proposal (do those actually happen THAT often?), save yourself the love-struck headache of actually being in a relationship …
There's plenty to find sickening about the wealth oozing from Silicon Valley, though the latest comes by the way of a surprising source: Kelleher International ("making love happen...since 1986"), a matchmaking service that can charge hundreds of thousands of dollars help the richest of the rich find their special…
I’m a 28-year-old professional, and my relationship of five years recently ended. The breakup was friendly, mature, heart breaking and complicated. His family was my family. We had shared assets to divvy up, an apartment to set a timeline on moving out of, and long-formed habits to break like talking to each other…
Online dating is a minefield: Writing up a "self-summary;" trying to perfect a balance between alluring and honest; unwanted advances from creeps. Do dating apps solve these problems?
Hey, remember this guy
A low voice isn’t just a titillating hint that a man has crappy sperm
Everyone thinks love times were simpler in past eras, when you got married to the first guy you looked at the second you turned 16 after exactly three dates, one side-long glance, and an accidental hand-brush. But if Jane Austen has taught us anything, it's that it has never been simple to like a person, not even…
One Utah man has bravely gone where no man has gone before: online, in search of a foreign bride who looks like a model but has the values of his grandmother. These matrimony-worthy prizes do not exist in the den of iniquity that is the United States, so he found her in Ukraine, and is now, happily, the King of…
Unfortunately, the Sleepless in Austin
Independent, emotionally stable men can be boring. Not only do they lead their own successful lives, they also make for terrible, drama-free relationship posts on your blog. You need a man with insecurities - the kind of guy who will shed a tear watching Titanic with you, or shed a tear watching How It's Made with…
Women: who can figure them out? We're an endless series of bloody tubes bound together by a glue made up of getting mad for no reason and, I don't know, feelings? Nail art? Cat video induced squeals? Olivia Pope coat envy? Thankfully, one Reddit community exists to decode — and tame — the elusive human female.
Looking to make a quick $1,500? Well, all you have to do is help this 39-year-old Austinite find the — not fat, not black, long-haired, unselfish, non-tattooed (SOME exceptions), non-bespectacled, childless (and not ever wanting children) (which is a good thing, because boyfriend should NOT reproduce), positive, warm, …
I know these survey results about how 50% of U.S. adults say they hide from their friends and family members who vent about their relationship problems don't relate to me and my BFFs because I just asked them if it's annoying when I make them close-read and analyze my love life-related Gchats. They all said, "No,…
