The Dark Side Of Dating Apps

Dating app cover-up: How Tinder, Hinge and their corporate owner keep rape under wraps The Dating Apps Reporting Project is an 18-month investigation. It was produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center’s AI Accountability Network and The Markup, now a part of CalMatters, and copublished with The Guardian and The 19th.  When a young woman in Denver met up with a smiling cardiologist she matched with on the dating app Hinge, she had no way of knowing that the company behind the app had already received reports from two other women who accused him of rape. She met the 34-year-old doctor with green eyes and thinning hair at Highland Tap & Burger, a sports bar in a trendy neighborhood. It went well enough that she accepted an invitation to go back to his apartment. As she emerged ...

What’s Your Online Dating Beauty Rank? Take The Quiz!

Recently, I overheard my girlfriend Lisa leaving a babbling message on a guy's answering machine after a first date. Even though things went well, Lisa was a bundle of self-doubt and nerves as she talked herself into thinking he might not call again. I was dumbfounded at the confusing, negative voicemail. The long and short of it is that Lisa ended up spoiling things with this new man before they even got started. Are You Sabotaging Your Love Life? When I asked my girlfriend what that message was all about, Lisa shrugged her shoulders and said it wasn't going to last anyway. If I had been coaching Lisa, a beautiful, smart, funny, independent woman who is a great catch, I would have asked how she felt about herself before posting a profile on the dating sites. To me, she had some clear b...

Single & Alone – How’s That Working Out For You?

Would you agree that there are few places lonelier than being in a loveless relationship? Spending time with someone who's clearly bored, disinterested, perhaps even angry at your mere presence slowly destroys your confidence, self-esteem and faith in yourself.

Stay Connected In A Long Distance Relationship

Long distance relationships can be filled with challenges that couples around the block from each other never face.

This is a bonus that other couples only experience if they purposefully take the time to be creative about connecting.

Do You Need A Relationship Reboot

I call BS! And I'm not ashamed to admit that I have had to call BS on myself from time to time. Far too many men are not acting like men. This isn't about judgement. This is about intimacy in its highest form. Let us suspend talking about what we are not getting from our significant other. We have no control over that. But what we do have control of is how we treat out partners. And how we treat them speaks to how we really feel about ourselves. If you need all the conditions to be right to treat your lady like a lady, you're not acting a man. If you need for all of your needs to be met before you treat your wife or girlfriend like a lady, that is not an act of intimacy. That is an act of doing business. Conditions of equality in a relationship are not based on what have you done for me l...

How Jealous Are You?

How jealous would you be if your spouse or partner was regularly car-sharing with a much younger, good-looking business colleague, or exchanging texts with them into the evening? Modern life often involves travel, greater accessibility and flexible hours but those requirements can bring an undercurrent of unease with them. I was recently chatting with an attractive lady who was feeling jealous of her husband's relationship with his female co-worker. She was half of a successful, professional couple whose children had recently left home to go to university. She regarded herself as fit, possibly slightly overweight, but smart, well-dressed, up-to-date and interesting. However, she was aware that both she and her husband were leading increasingly separate lives and intimacy had pretty much dw...

When To Let Go Of Your Home Boys

Growing up you always had your home boys. Your friends usually had more influence over you then your parent(s). As we grew up bonds became tighter and you thought you had friends for life. However as you get older you start to understand that friendships by itself are more than likely not worth the time to entertain. The reason for that is because now you have responsibilities like bills, work, maybe children and maybe a wife or girlfriend. It is hard to squeeze male friendships into a grown man life and most of the times it is not even worth trying. Some of our home boys grow up to be bums and time wasters. Despite the connection you might have sometimes you have to let your friends go in order to not get sucked back down to their level. Here are 5 signs that you need to cut a friendship...
