  Q: Hi Chiara. I’m writing you because I can’t ask my friends and my boyfriend is my best friend (but I can’t ask him for advice on this subject lol) I work 6 days at a restaurant and I have a huge crush on my manager. He’s single and totally available and he’s made it pretty obvious that he wants to hook up. I’ve been with Dave* for 16 months, roughly, and he’s a pretty good guy. BUT I DON’T THINK ABOUT HIM WHEN WE HAVE SEX! It happened once a few times ago, I thought about my coworker and fantasized about him instead. It was AWESOME!! And ever…

  UNCOMMON WISDOM - May 15 - Each year, millions of Chinese are moving from poorer, rural interior to the large, eastern cities in China in search of jobs. Beijing and Shanghai are filled with people who have moved away from their families and friends. That is why millions of Chinese are turning to online dating. Men 30+ without a wife and without children are called “bare branches” and the social stigma against these unmarried men is strong. Back in 1980, the Chinese government launched its one-child policy. This policy has prevented 400M births, but it has also created a large gender…

  How can a woman fall for a bad boy when she should probably know better? It has been well-documented that ovulating women are inclined to be attracted to Mr. Right Now rather than Mr. Right. However, new research reveals that the hormonal changes associated with fertility induce women to believe that players might actually stick around.read more

  When you have issues with commitment of any kind, there is this perennial fear that if you make the decision that you’ll get it ‘wrong’ and then it’s like a black mark on your ‘life resume’ or it can’t be undone or managed, and your whole life will go down the tube off the back of it.

The more insulting versions of this sentiment are that you should have sex when you don’t want to because it’s good for your partner (they’re typically referring to your male partner), or because it’s good for your relationship. Well, I’m here to tell you this: Having sex when you don’t want to isn’t good for anyone. Not your partner, not your…

Lots of fresh air, exercise and family outings like picnics, hiking and biking together would consume our weekends. And of course, things like keeping the kids spotless and myself looking hip and put-together every day made the list too. Yes, I…

Aside from questioning what type of parent Patricia Krentcil must be, some questioned her state of mind–just look at her, right? She’s only 44, but could easily pass for decades older. Clearly she is not taking good care of her skin–and possibly her daughter’s, but does excessive tanning mean she must have mental health issues? You tell us.

He was intermittently moody during the vacation, sometimes walking 20 paces ahead or behind me saying he needed some solitude. I was used to this behavior, as it happened occasionally in our 20-year marriage. It was usually a phase and if I gave him space, he worked it out. But returning home,…

In fact, more often than not, the same dish will come back in a little while. But once contact is made you can’t just put it back. You have to at least entertain liking it, if only briefly.

  A single friend of mine is down in the dumps. He's miserable, angry, frustrated, you name it - and it shows. So when he asked me today why no one wanted to meet him off a dating site, I paused before answering. Because in my opinion? Mood does affect one's attractiveness. Without question. A number of years ago I did something I've since labeled my smiling experiment, where I spent an evening sharing my 100-watt smile to everyone I encountered on a busy weekend night. Prior to my very non-scientific test, I was in a similar head space as my friend. I couldn't attract someone for the life of…

Rather, the article suggested (as told to me second hand), if you were remorseful for your actions and knew you'd never do it again, there was no reason to share with your partner about the unfaithfulness. Although I kind of, sort of, get what the article was…

• Online Dating Is A Booming Trend In China

  mark@onlinepersonalswatch.com (Mark Brooks)

  16 May 2012 | 7:58 am

  UNCOMMON WISDOM - May 15 - Each year, millions of Chinese are moving from poorer, rural interior to the large, eastern cities in China in search of jobs. Beijing and Shanghai are filled with people who have moved away from their families and friends. That is why millions of Chinese are turning to online dating. Men 30+ without a wife and without children are called “bare branches” and the social stigma against these unmarried men is strong. Back in 1980, the Chinese government launched its one-child policy. This policy has prevented 400M births, but it has also created a large gender…

                Break-ups can be difficult and painful, but the important thing to remember is that a break up is not the end of the world. Sometimes a break-up can even be a good thing because it will give you a chance to re-evaluate your life, and maybe even lead you to find someone more suitable. The truth is, that you can move on after a break-up no matter how bad it may have been.    Instructions   1 Give yourself plenty of time to heal and recuperate. Remember that time heals all wounds.

    1. Time flies when you’re a man:“There is ‘man time’ and ‘woman time.’ For men, time goes by faster than for women. Einstein tried to explain this with his theory of relativity and I think it was all about trying to get along with his wife. So, the next time a guy doesn’t call or text a girl back right away or it’s been two weeks since he last said ‘I love you,’ just remember that it doesn’t mean he doesn’t care it, it just means that time passes differently for him.” 2. You’re more powerful than you…

  By the time we reach a certain age, we usually accumulate a few skeletons in our closets regarding mistakes we have made in the relationship department.  We love to judge celebrities when they make their very public blunders, but the truth is people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.  And let’s face it, we all live in glass houses.  No one is perfect.  Mistakes are life’s way of teaching us lessons and hopefully we will learn from them and not make the same mistake twice. So that being said, a few years ago I was involved in a relationship that was clearly a mistake and it…

  So you have been chatting online with a US soldier but are aware of the numerous scams out there so ask him to prove he is who he says he is, so he emails you a copy of his Military Identity Card. First of all well done for being cautious. However when he sends a copy of a passport or military ID do you even know what you are looking at? Thanks to Tee we can share what can only be classed as the worst scammers attempt to photoshop together a military ID I have ever seen and I’ve seen some pretty dismal attempts.  Seriously there are primary school kids who could do a better job.

  What I find is critical to many of my clients is to surround themselves with like minded people who provide positive energy to their dating efforts. Ask yourself this Relationship Question: “Who is in your support system and how do they support your dating?” When I was single, I realized I was hanging out with a group of women who were not supporting my efforts. They were critical and judgmental. Also, I found out they would say negatives things about me behind my back. read more

  My friend Nicci wrote a few posts about – this one was one of them. Basically she questions why we want/need relationships – I have wanted to write a response post for ages but just can’t really seem to make sense of how I feel about it. I don’t really have a great history with relationships – in fact my track record is a string of very dysfunctional and abusive relationships – except for David.

About one third of parents report using severe forms of corporal punishment against their children (UNICEF Child Rights and Equity report). Sexual offences made up around half of all crimes reported against children in 2010/2011 (SAPS 2010/2011 report). Sexual offences against children (younger than 18 years) increased by 2,6% in 2010/2011 from 2009/2008 (SAPS 2010/2011 report). Around 30% of…

In other words, guys say this to me. A LOT. Personally, I've never looked for a relationship.

  The phenomenon of younger/older couples dating is relatively new, and due no doubt to the advent of Internet dating, as well as the new mainstream popularity of May-December relationships, thanks to some well-publicized celebrity couples. Whereas years ago, such a relationship might be seen as taboo, now it is relatively commonplace. It’s easy to see why the attraction is there; it is instinctively alluring, as older singles take on the role of mentor for younger singles. Younger men may like the challenge of an older woman, or may relate more to an older woman’s intelligence. Similarly,…

In a broader sense I don’t support any legislation that shames a group of people for simple being who they are.Recently Missouri legislature proposed a bill that would ban the discussion of sexual orientation in classrooms.

• How to Remember Everyone’s Name

  Mario

  14 May 2012 | 10:35 am

  Why Remember All Those Names Few skills are as important for social relationships as remembering names. Dale Carnegie hit gold when he said “A person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” It’s really no less than that. People often, because of one reason or the other, don’t commit as much as they should on this. Better for us: it’s a big handicap. You can make a great impression on people if you remember their names, even after just a one minute chit-chat. You’ll immediately stand out: they will start looking at you with different…

  Mario

  10 May 2012 | 7:01 am

  By Dani We have all heard it: breaking up is hard to do. When you realize that the woman you are dating is not right for you, there is only one thing to do. Stop wasting your (and her) time and end the relationship. It’s no secret that she won’t be thrilled about you ending the relationship, regardless of how long it has been. However there are ways of severing a relationship that don’t need to result in uncontrollable sobbing or theatrics. Whether you wish to make an attempt at a friendship or just make a clean break, you owe it to her to send her away feeling respected. If she is…

• Top 6 Ways to Know If She Is Right For You

  Mario

  3 May 2012 | 6:53 am

  By Dani Once you have secured a date with the woman you have been fantasizing about, you have to master that first date. You groom yourself to perfection, prepare a romantic surprise and then proceed to sweep her off of her feet. If her response is lukewarm, this might leave you wondering: Is she right for me? The only way to know for sure is with time. Don’t perceive her aloof attitude incorrectly – she may just be shy. The best way to know if she is into you is to ask for a second date. She won’t agree if she isn’t interested. While “love at first sight” is a romantic idea, it…

  Snorers – those bastards. How many times did we lose a good night sleep because of the unstoppable, terrible noise coming from these guys? Sometimes they are friends, sometimes they are not – but rest assured, in that moment all we want is them to silence. If you a traveler, especially one who roams around hostels, you’ll know what kind of problem snorers are. Dorm rooms, usually with four beds or more, are the typical place to encounter them. And it’s a disgrace – after hours and hours of walking around, visiting museums and partying hard all you want is a good, SILENT time to…

To find beautiful women in your area that you have something in common with, get out and do something active. Here are some of the top hot spots to find gorgeous women: Get out and join your local gym. Try the community center gym, which is significantly less intimidating than a private gym.

  How should I prepare for the first phone call with someone I’m talking to online? Should I prepare the things I want to talk about? These are questions a reader asked me recently and he was wondering if recommended handling the first phone call just like I recommend for planning for first date conversations.

  With online dating, people can sometimes behave in strange ways that may cause us to want to give up on trying to communicate with them.

I met a great guy online in December and we saw each other all that month and into January and everything was great!

  10 May 2012 | 11:19 am

  As a general rule, it is best to arrive early at a nightclub so you can check out the action. If you arrive late, sometimes most of the women will be taken up. Of course there are some nightclubs that do not get going until after midnight. Most women start coming in from 9-11 PM, as a general rule. The women who are shift workers start coming in after 11PM. Ideally, the best time to arrive is around 9PM. This way you can see what comes through the door and size up your prospects for the night. Don't worry about getting a table in the beginning because you are going to be on your feet making…

• Selling Women to Have a Relationship with You

  8 May 2012 | 11:53 am

  A girl you are trying to pick up is in a situation similar to the salesman's customer. She probably did not go out in a public place with the idea of getting picked up. In fact, if she were asked if she wanted to be picked up, she would probably truthfully say, "No." Nevertheless, most unattached girls have a vague underlying desire for romance and adventure. They probably would be intrigued by a pick up attempt, but at the start, some might not be convinced that they should agree to forming a relationship with you, a stranger. They would still need to be sold on the idea. It is like coaxing…

  Being decisive is one of the surest ways to demonstrate your leadership and confidence. Women want the man to take the lead and make the decisions and they are judging men on how well they do it. TIP #1 - Don't stand there hemming and hawing. Be ready with options, and be ready to pick one. Always remember that it is your responsibility to make the decision, so take that responsibility. TIP #2 - If plans change such as a sold out movie, don't stand there saying, "Gee, now what?" Make a decision quickly on what to do. If you need more time to decide, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, make…

  26 Apr 2012 | 11:39 am

  Psyching yourself up and making preparations before going to a nightclub are very important. Be sure and get a good nights sleep before you go out. At least seven to eight hours will be sufficient. Eat a good steak dinner with your choice of vegetables prior to going out. This will put a lining on your stomach if you do a lot of heavy drinking and besides that, it will make you feel good. If you don't have any good dancing records, buy as many as you can afford. There is a reason for this. A couple of hours before you leave, play your favorite records, or if you have a favorite radio station,…

• Selling a Girl to Like You

  24 Apr 2012 | 11:46 am

  If the girl is one who can be picked up, you then have the task of impressing her and selling her on your plan of a relationship. If she has taken an instant liking to you and you can detect this, you might move right in and close the sale. That is, make a date, go off together, or whatever is agreeable at the time. But it is more likely that success will not come so quickly. You will probably have to work at the selling first. This can be compared to a salesman selling a vacuum cleaner (or anything else). The salesman could hand the vacuum to the prospective customer and say, "Here it is,…

It has the ability to snuggly fit up to eight condoms and is a good protective way store your prophylactics, rather than sticking them in a wallet like a sexual noob. But then I got to thinking, why just use it as a condom case, why not…

I mean, how do I know if he’s really into me?” I thought about it for a second, and I realized that I had the perfect answer.

In previous blog posts, I wrote about the power of “sexual imprinting” and how “sex can make you stupid”.

• Selfishness in Marriage

  Mark Gungor

  All marriages start off very selfishly. When a couple begins dating, it is generally all about each person’s own interests. “I like what you do for me. I like the way you make me feel. When I’m with you I’m happy. You make me feel validated.” At the beginning, marriage really is the ultimate in narcissistic expression. The reason you are getting married is because of what he/she does for you. And it’s the same for the other person. It’s all about me, me, me! But then you get these two me, me, me people together and something has to give. Marriages where couples are able to make…

Don’t marry someone with the idea that it’s going to make you happy. When either one or both spouses head into a marriage with this thinking, it creates some of the most miserable couples out there. Can you be happy in marriage? Absolutely. But the people who are successful and happy in their marriages are not happy because they are married.

  Who says you can’t learn something from a video game? Three days after my birthday in the summer of 2001, I knew my life would never be the same. My thirteen-year-old self had been impatiently waiting for the release of Max Payne and that day had finally come. Since then, I’ve been a diehard fan of the series. It introduced me into the film noir genre and the dark gritty style I’ve come to love. Most importantly, it became a story I felt a connection with and a persona I grew to admire. With its ominous atmosphere, memorable dialogue, and Max’s stupid scrunched up face —…

  30 Apr 2012 | 9:37 pm

  If you’ve been out to a bar or party, you’ve probably encountered a few girls who weren’t so polite. Rather than just a simple rejection, they were straight-up insulting. There are a ton of reasons why this happens… Maybe you said something that ticked her off. Maybe you interrupted her conversation with a friend. Maybe she wasn’t ready to be approached. Maybe a guy was a dick to her a few minutes before. Maybe she’d had a horrible day and was stressed out. Sometimes all it takes is a small misunderstanding (especially when amplified by alcohol) to turn an interaction sour.

  If you’re a single guy and aren’t meeting women regularly, this is for you. I watched Game of Thrones the other week and a quote by Varys has kept me thinking for days: “Power resides where men believe it resides. It’s a trick, a shadow on the wall and a very small man can cast a very large shadow.”   Common dating advice says that it’s all a woman’s choice and the odds favor them. She picks you. She’s the gatekeeper. If she doesn’t like you, you’re screwed. In turn, men feel helpless. They think they have to wait around and hope a girl chooses them. If that doesn’t…

There are so many highs and a few lows that it is hard to make sense of it all. I feel like I am turning into a crazy person.

  Long before George Costanza announced his invention of the iToilet app on the Seinfeld reunion episode, I had thought of this very concept. Having driven from Los Angeles to San Diego on many occasions, I’ve learned exactly where to stop for a clean bathroom and where not to stop. I have even taken to keeping a Starbucks paper cup on the floor of the passenger seat of my car—for roadside emergencies. As a woman, peeing is a very big part of my life. It’s something I do often, and something I do well. While drinking three liters of water a day may have something to do with…

As liberal as I am when it comes to numerous things, my views on marriage are pretty traditional. Not as in, “only man and woman can wed”, but more, “til death do us part”. I believe when a person enters into a marriage they are entering into a sacred thing that will not and should not be broken.

  Alright, so this is another one of those “half in jest/half shine a light on your foibles” type of posts. I’ve always followed the 5 Friends Rule, and I’m constantly surrounded by super successful people. It definitely pushes me to reach my potential, yet at the same time, I’m always the least financially well off compared to everyone I hang out with. Haha, I guess I have other areas of expertise to offer, but it annoys me at times. I know I’m intelligent enough to be as successful as any other dude out there, offer more value, resulting in more money, and I work my damn ass off!

  I love the nomadic lifestyle. Everything changes in the blink of an eye. A week ago I was in Buenos Aires, now I’m watching Justin Bieber videos with my niece in Milwaukee, WI. I get a phone call, and a friend asks if I want to get an apartment in Las Vegas for the summer… Ummmmmmmmm……… This. Could. Happen. The universe strikes again and offers me the path. I’ve been so jazzed about pick up lately, and now that I’m home in a city without a crazy nightlife, it really puts things into perspective. Where better to spend the summer than the top mecca IN THE WORLD for meeting girls?

  It’s Mother’s Day in the states this Sunday, and so in honor of my beautiful (and oh so wise) mother, I thought I would share some of the lasting lessons she’s taught me about love. 1. Give Him a Chance. When I used to complain about guys to my mom, she would say things like “take it easy on him” or “well, maybe he didn’t mean it that way.” At first, I would get pissed off because she wasn’t up in arms like I was and cursing them into oblivion, but now I see that she was teaching me that there are two sides to every story, and not every…

• Who Should Pay on the First Date?

  10 May 2012 | 2:00 am

  Heather Rutman, author of the tongue in cheek book “Girls Guide to Depravity” claims that there is no greater libido killer than a guy who insists on splitting the bill on the first date. The question of “who should pay” on a first date seems to be a never ending and highly contentious discussion in the dating world. Everyone seems to have a different opinion on the matter. Here’s my take: I once went out on a first date with a guy, who when we arrived at the restaurant blatantly told me that he wasn’t going to order anything because he was broke. It was…

Dating an older guy can be flat out awesome. Something about capturing the attention of an older man just makes you feel so damn special!

What happened to saying HELLO? So it should come as no surprise to anyone that I have collected all of my favorite cheesy pick up lines right here for your pleasure. None of these have ever been used on me, or any of my friends for that matter, but I haven’t given up hope. Perhaps one day a man will be so put off by beauty and charm that he…

  I have two friends that are not friends who can not stand each other. The reason? They clash ideas. They can’t get past how an argument is an exchange of two minds. Instead devolve into feeling personally threatened.Human beings have this need to be right you know. If you’re an American – complain about the Republican party. European, talk about how Greece should ditch the Euro.

This type of loneliness is a loneliness from the best parts of you that no longer have any basic fundamental contact with life experience. You are lonely because you are alienated from life,Dead end streetsThink of how you drive a car. You recognize potential dangers, potential time sucks, and potential mechanical problems as you drive so corrective action can be taken before you screw things up for yourself.

When you break away towards something unknown.Often this isn’t so bad. It’s scary for sure, but that friction is a sign of personal growth. It’s a sign you’re actually on the right track. Otherwise you’re just coasting.But first you need to know what the patterns are in your lifePlaying it safe feels right and it’s so very easy.

Of course, all breeds are not created equal, and some have more mojo with the ladies than others. So before you head down to the pound to pick up your new wingman, consider what different dogs say to the fairer sex. Then choose the kind that’s going to attract the type of women you want in your life. Like, for instance, one of these.

  I am a trusting human being. I think people are like me and try to operate their life with some baseline of values and integrity. But, I keep learning that this is not the case. If I stop trusting, do I become bitter? I don’t want to become bitter. But, that does not mean I can’t operate without caution. Caution is our friend. It makes us pause and make sure we protect ourselves. Recently, I had an experience with someone I trusted because of an existing relationship with a friend.

We all fall victim to the texting and email and don’t actually just talk. I know I have and it did not serve the relationship well. Recently, I have been very frustrated by my online communications. Men write 1-2 sentences. They don’t ask questions. They don’t keep the conversation going. Why is this? They answer what you have asked and they hit SEND. Please guys – can’t you have a little more…

  Agents are necessary, for the most part, to get your book sold. And when dealing with agents they are very explicit with how they want to be communicated with regarding submissions. Their websites go through great detail in telling you how to query them or specifically what to send them and how to send it to them. They are clear, adamant and non-bending. They tell you the time frame in which you will be communicated with regarding your material. So, here is where I share my pet peeve. When you do everything an agent asks AND follow their instructions to the letter and then wait for a response…

Where once I would find a smiling headshot and perhaps a full-length shot or two (one in jeans or something equally casual and maybe one in a suit, i.e. “See, I clean up good”), I’m now finding a slew of obviously posed action shots. Are they meant to tell a story? I’m assuming, yes. I’ve concluded that the theme of this story is “I may be over 40, but I’m not in a wheelchair yet, baby”. Recently, on one profile alone, I found pictures of this man swimming, skiing, riding a dirt bike,…

I refrain from catering it to the situation because most of the time, if not all of the time, I’m afraid my personal opinion will get in the way. Yes, all of my advice is my personal opinion, I’m aware of that; but I’m also aware of the fact that if I dated a guy before you did, and then you tell me he’s acting a certain way, I will inevitably tell you he’s cheating on you – just like he cheated on me. Instead, I prefer to stay neutral, look at the facts, and…
