Unexpected Dating Advice
The only dating blog about men, women and marketing. I read a lot of relationship articles giving advice to both men and women. Much of it as about as deep as Dr. Drew’s contribution to celebrity rehab. Still, it’s fun. So here’s your chance to “listen in” to what the other side is being told! Relationship and dating advice for men According to an article in Men’s Health Magazine, the older women get, the more frisky they become. So men,… read more →
Online dating and the top 3 reasons why emails matter.
I was listening to a radio show the other day when the host gave some brilliant online dating advice. By brilliant I mean in that “Tommy Lee goes to College” kind of way. He suggested that women should just post pictures and not bother with anything else. In his view, men are visual so there’s no point in spending time on a profile and, above all, emails are pointless. In truth, my observation has been that men don’t like to… read more →
Real online dating tips or just real bad advice?
When I was young, I heard that crusty bread would make my hair curly. I loved curly hair. I loved it more than life and Tony Danza put together. Though I had a straight, dark mane I was convinced that a few French rolls a day would transform me into Farrah Fawcett. I also heard that mayonnaise would make it thick and shimmering. For weeks, I smelled like a picnic. To my dismay, my hair became progressively stringy, dull, and… read more →
Breaking Bad Season 4 and online dating profiles.
The other day I went onto Facebook and looked at the news feed. The first item was a quote by Rumi posted by a friend of mine, ““What you seek is seeking you.” Just below was a post by another friend. It read, “Be one with the universe and you’ll never be alone.” The next post, from another friend, also had something to do with gratitude or love or visualization or manifestation or some such presumably meaningful quote. Finally, I… read more →
Jennifer Lopez? Is that you dating online?
The other day I was scanning on one of the big online dating sites when who do you think I saw? Fergie! That’s right, Ms Fergalicious herself had a profile up though, surprisingly, with just one picture (a little odd given that she has had countless taken of her). Still, there she was looking for a long-term relationship with men within 100 miles of her zip code. Hummm, wonder if Josh knows? More importantly, I wonder if TMZ is onto… read more →
Online dating and reality checks.
When I was a little my parents told me that, if I became a Brownie, I’d get to play ball, visit petting zoos and learn to make Oreo cookies. Instead, I had to sing strange songs around a creepy wooden owl. I was also taught needlepoint (ugh). I thought I had scored only to be sorely disappointed – and it wasn’t the only time. When I was in high school, I was told that if I took band class I’d… read more →

Online dating and the importance of a great profile.
I was talking to a friend the other day who asked, “How’s your little side business going.” Cringing, I patiently answered, “I have a two-week waiting list. I’m negotiating a speaking engagement in LA. Plus, a PHD who’s written 33 self-help books and was a guest on Oprah has recommended me. In fact, he called me an angel for doing what I do”. “Really? You’re serious?” he said incredulous. “Yes. What’s so hard to believe – that someone called me… read more →
