Recognizing Signs of Control and Manipulation and Knowing if You Are Ripe for the Picking

Ironically, it is quite often the weakest of men who stalk and capture…Strong, confident men have no need to control. Only those who are empty inside have to or they cannot survive themselves.

Kira recently wrote an article about Ms. Rule’s latest bestseller, Mortal Danger. I just finished reading it and I [...]

Shit or Get Off the Pot

Relationships aren’t easy. You know it, I know it, and yet we all wish there was just a magic book of answers that would make them easy. If there is such a book somewhere, damn I could sure use it right now.
I’ve been hanging out with this guy for the last several months. Almost four [...]

Hearts Are Best Repaired With a Lil Duct Tape

Hearts are best repaired with duct tape and a lil love or so a friend once told me. And you know, I think he just might be right.
I’ve said this before, when you’re dating in your 30s and 40s you’ve been through some shit. You’ve had your heart stomped on, broken into a million lil [...]

Please! Think About What You’re Saying!

Dear Dumb Ass Dude:
Sometimes people just say the stupidest crap. I mean, “You can get any guy you want.” Really? And how in God’s name would you even know that?
First of all, since my profile is set to private, you can’t possibly know anything about me beyond what my profile picture looks like. How you [...]

Mortal Danger

In high school, I took my Psychology and American Justice courses back to back. While my teacher was a creepy SOB (in the way that he regularly commented on girls’ boobs and sat in a chair while teaching so he had a better angle for looking at girl’s crotches exposed by sitting in a miniskirt), [...]

That’s why Break the Cycle and Amanda Bynes together with Mary Kay Cosmetics want to bring a new curriculum to schools to help put an end to dating [...]

Love is Blind

The Hills is, perhaps, the most ridiculous show I have ever watched. The stars are rich, catty, and drama filled and although that makes the cast hard to relate to, the show is sadly addicting. My roommate and my sister watch the show religiously. I watch if I happen to be in the room when [...]

Successful, Healthy Relationships Are About Balance

I’m so tired of hearing that sex is all about making babies or that the key to relationships is communication or that people are only attracted to one type of person. Did we all forget that relationships are not black and white? They are multi-faceted creatures almost with a life of their own. And when [...]

Dating: Should You Call Or Text?

“Some people are just not good on the phone.” Amen! As I’ve said before, the phone is not my friend. I am not one of those women whose phone is permanently attached to her ear. In fact, the only time you’ll find me just chatting is when I’m talking to one of my daughters or [...]
