My Funniest Online Dating Horror Stories

Yeah, yeah. It's absolutely true that online dating worked out pretty well for me, ultimately. But having given it some thought, I wanted to come clean with you about something. It's not like every single date was a blissful stream of perfection. Sure, I met lots of great women and had a blast for several years...culminating in meeting Emily on Match.com. But along the way, especially at the beginning, I certainly encountered my share of sometimes hilarious and sometimes downright nightmarish situations. Here are the four most memorable ones: 1) Not What The Doctor Prescribed Very shortly after my divorce in 1992, I received a "spam" message in my inbox that I actually responded to. Believe it or not, I hadn't even heard of online dating before. This ad claimed I could meet the woman of m...

Soul Mates – Finding True Love And Commitment

Finding your true Soul Mate is something that many people hope to do. We all long for that one special person in our lives to make everything wonderful. We want to live the fairy-tale life and find our very own Prince or Princess Charming. We know that somehow that would make our lives complete. Finding that one true love, someone that we want to be with for a lifetime, can be a difficult task. We seem to find more frogs than princes while on that eternal quest for true love. Perhaps there are a few things that we have either overlooked, over-glamorized, or misunderstood. Think for a minute. What qualities do you think that the love of your life, that perfect Soul Mate, would possess? Would they love you unconditionally, put you on a pedestal, take away all of your tears, make you happy, m...

I Dated A Dallas Cowboy!

And it almost brought the country club down. We should not have stopped there. It was Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, and I think my Dad paid hell afterwards. He never said a word. He was cool like that. But, later, I realized that in all the years I had been going there to swim or play tennis, I had never seen a black member. Jimmy Dean (sausage company) came up to me and whispered, "watch yourself girl," and I knew what he meant. Then, he shook my date's hand and gushed compliments, questions and information on him to the point that we both looked quizzically at each other. You see, my date was black and I was white, white, white. It wasn't until he was identified as one of the Doomsday Defense that the mind-numbing stares stopped. Women just pelted me with hateful looks until they reali...

Framed As Young And Sexy – Powerful Women Heading Up Dating Apps

People are swiping on dating apps in record numbers and roughly half of these individuals identify as women, which may be the reason why the dating app industry recently assigned the top leadership roles to women. Indeed, this past year, the most powerful dating apps in the world — Bumble and Tinder — were both run by women. Whitney Wolfe Herd is at Bumble while Renate Nyborg was running Tinder. As scholars who write about dating apps like Bumble and dating and feminism, we were interested to see how journalists reported on these two women leading the male-dominated, highly lucrative online dating industry and we wanted to compare that coverage with how the CEOs represented themselves on social media. We looked at last year’s top 50 news stories for each woman that came up in search res...

What Money Has To Do With Marriage

I must admit, I laughed out loud when they told me that at their first session with the pastor, they were each required to bring two items: a Bible and a copy of their personal credit reports. After I stopped chuckling, I realized the preacher was on to something. He knew that how we handle our finances says a lot--good, bad, or ugly- about who we are and how we handle commitment. And that's no laughing matter. Like it or not, money really does have meaning and power. How you handle or mishandle it, will speak volumes about you to your present or potential mate, much more persuasively than anything you could every say about yourself. Handling your money with care, discipline, and maturity builds a strong case that you are caring, disciplined, and mature person. Those, of course, are the...

When Women Love Married Women

A troubling situation that should not be judged too harshly, we are all capable of falling in holes with little room to escape. I will try to be gentle and look at all sides when exploring this subject, and also remembers that it is very different to affairs in heterosexual couples. It is important not to judge. Our society is so eager to humiliate, cast out, and punish us for our choices rather that teach openness, honesty, and the value of good intentions. We may all be a little healthier if we practice these principles on ourselves and each other. Women are built to form emotional bounds; it was an intricate part of our survival in prehistorical times. We connect emotionally to each other, due to women having more of the chemical known as oxytocine "the love hormone." That is why af...

Vanilla Or Chocolate

When in the Lady bars (really it should be just bar... but I am trying to remain hopefully), shopping in grocery stores, drinking coffee downtown and looking at the gorgeous women one thing comes to mind "Is she Vanilla or Chocolate?" We all have are own individual sexual style and being with a woman is so wonderful in itself it is hard to describe or put into words the magic of lesbian love-making. There are an infinite amount of ways lesbians can have sex, and we have a variety of women to experience sex with, bisexual, woman who enjoy sex with other women (no label necessary), queer women, and lesbian transgender. Here are some reasons why lady loving is so fantastic: The roles can be switched up, back and forth. We can be dominant and in control (ripping her clothes off against a wal...

Is Your Wife Sleeping With Her Boss – Here’s How To Find Out

A woman having an affair with her boss is very common. In fact of all affairs that take place at work the woman sleeping with her boss is the most commonplace. Here are three ways of telling if your wife is sleeping with her boss (these tips are from personal experience). 1. Her boss starts to give her a lift into work. This is the first of the signs that I should have took notice of earlier and maybe I would have been able to save our marriage. Anyway if your wife usually gets a lift off a friend or drives to work but then she suddenly starts getting a ride from her boss then you would be right to worry. She will say "what's the big deal" if asked about it but beware because this is the first sign of infidelity. 2. If your wife is on the phone a lot to him or testing him a lot then she...

Are There Good Reasons To Stay Friends With Your Ex?

A breakup is always a challenging time. Often both parties are in very different stages of readiness; one may have been waiting years for the right time to walk away, whilst the other may have felt that things were relatively fine, sticking with the mindset, 'better the devil you know!' Relationship counselling may have been a valuable way of managing the negative emotions experienced during the breakup of the relationship. It can help with understanding each other's viewpoints, even when the relationship is irretrievable. however, choosing not to continue living together doesn't mean that there aren't good reasons to stay friends with your ex, especially if you've both learned to be more respectful of each other's points of view. Many practical matters can further exacerbate the situati...
