Creepers: The Common Bar Predator

Creepers are all around us. Lurking on the sidelines, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting young women. Bars, of course, are the most common stomping ground for creepers. There are plenty of hot, young women for their preying pleasure. What these creepers don’t realize is most of these women would rather poke their eyes out with [...]

I Need a Dating Time Out!

I’ve realized in the last few days that it’s time for me to take a dating time out. Though I haven’t gone on tons of dates, very few in fact, it’s the process that has become wearing. Combined with other things going on in my life right now, it has just become too much.
Over the [...]

Girls, Pull Your Heads Out! I Am NOT Your Problem!

A couple of years ago, I added a new ‘friend’ on MySpace. If memory serves, his status said single though he was in fact separated. We chatted back and forth for awhile quickly establishing that friendship was really all that was on the table. He was obviously going through some crap and really just wanted [...]

Other signs [...]

Neuman states that 1 in [...]

Are Different Political Views a Deal Breaker?

While we didn’t get any reader questions in last week, we did come across this one over at the Plenty of Fish forums and thought it worthy of our, and your, consideration.
If you believe those websites that gauge your political disposition then I am a moderate conservative. So my question is; if someone has [...]

How To Date a Libra

In commemoration of my birthday, the real scoop on how to date a Libra.

Never, and I mean never, ask a Libra where they want to go for dinner, what movie they want to see, what they’d like to do, etc. We are by nature indecisive…except when we’re not. Normally, we really don’t have a preference. [...]
