A website offering $10k to find a guy a wife?  No freaking way.

http://www.hookchasup.com/ It has come to this.  40-year old dudes who decided up until now they were going to live the playboy lifestyle are now paying the web to ferret them a wife.  It makes me wonder what’s next?  Will I see a Facebook ad for this guy?  Is it real or are they selling something?  If they’re really just spending $ and not earning it here, is it a real win? Yes, I have tapped the online dating world.  I have even partied in other cities/towns to try and meet Mr. Correct.  I’ve EVEN imported a southern gentleman for a week.  I guess what I’m saying is that I’m done.  Why can’t he find me?  Why do I feel like I’m hunting rather than gathering? Also, do I really want someone who I can and...

It wasn’t love, it was oxytocin

It wasn’t love, it was oxytocin

I fall in love in like 2 seconds. Or in like 2 orgasms. And today I know why. It’s because of a little hormone called Oxytocin and it’s tricking women’s minds into falling for anybody with whom we have amazing sex.  In layman’s terms: it’s the thing that happens when Avatar and the trees and pterodactyl birds have awkward hair sex. Here’s Wikipedia’s real definition for all you wanna-be nerds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin So how do we, as women, figure out how to guard our hearts from being broken and detach ourselves from wanting to get naked so early on in a relationship?  We need to have a chance to really bond with our partners before that thing that happens when he decides he’d rather go back to...

Dating Déjà Vu (Holiday Edition)

Dating Déjà Vu (Holiday Edition)

Last night, I drank a little bit of red wine.  And my roommate and I started brainstorming about men and dating and romanticism and junk. We boiled down this elusive love post down to one major theme:  Everyone we’ve dated romantically has come into our lives for a reason.  But how do you KNOW?  How do you know when the person that you’re most likely falling for in one form or another is your soulmate?  I wish I could answer that question, but let’s just boil down some cold, hard, buzzed thoughts.  So sorry in advance if it doesn’t flow like a normal post.. but deal. The one point we kept coming back to was that we seem to relate everybody we’re currently dating to past relationships. Women project.  Men live in the moment....

Surviving a Breakup: 8 Undeniable Tips

Breakups are painful.  The unexpected breakup is excruciatingly painful.  In the dating marketplace there is nothing more destabilizing than an unexpected breakup.  The hurt, pain, and self-doubt can be overwhelming.  Hours spent reflecting upon your former relationship can feel endless.  “What did I do wrong?” becomes an enticing, all-consuming question.  The temptation to wallow in grief can overpower your drive to move forward.  As torturous as breakups can be, there is an upside…  I can tell you (with absolute confidence) these feelings will dissipate over time, and you will find love again. Relationships end for several reasons; the rationale for terminating a connection can be perplexing or obvious.  Regardless of the circumstances, everyone...

Dating Advice Pop Music Style

I love Pop music. I am a Pop music junkie!  If Pop music were edible I would eat it by the fistfuls.  Beyonce, yes please.  Lady Gaga, I’ll take seconds.  If Rihanna’s music is for dessert, I’m staying.  In fact, Rihanna’s latest single, “Only Girl (In The World)”, is so hot I’m taking it to go ! Personal life aside, Rihanna has cemented herself in pop history.  Forget about her hairstyles or boyfriends, its Rihanna’s music which keeps us coming back for more.  Her latest single, “Only Girl (In The World)” is infectious as it is intoxicating.  Once you’re drawn in by the pulsating beat, you get lost in the lyrics.  As for the lyrics, I find the chorus particularly intriguing.  The chorus commands your attention: “Want you to make...
