The last few weeks, I’ve asked my readers to consider the important aspects of dating. Today is a bit different. This blog, like many other dating blogs, focuses on discussing the writers dating life. What happens on our dates, our mistakes, our successes, our advice. Every dating blog you read has their own opinion, and thought about what is a “better” dating life, but that’s only our point of view. This week’s poll question is a bit different, while I know what I wish to gain from my dating life, I often wonder, what do you wish to do better in your dating life? Feel free to comment, or use the poll to answer this week’s question!

Irene Is Checking You Out Right Now! (How True This Is)
Some dating humor for you! With Hurricane Irene quickly slowly approaching NYC, who would have thought that she’s single! It seems that Hurricane Irene is hurling herself at the single men in NYC, on OkCupid, seeking the right person to be with. Who would have thunk that I would be a perfect match for her! Too bad she’s not old enough to drink!

Where Are The Hurricane Girlfriends?
If you’ve watched any news outlet , you may have heard there’s a bit of tepid weather landing on the East Coast. Lucky for the single guys, this weather system is female, thus there’s a 90% chance of it raining women (okay it’s not likely at all).
Hurricane Irene, promises to be a historic event, as President Obama notes, and should be taken seriously. My assumption is, he means historic in the sense of massive devastation, and less in the sense of “yes we can!” Living in New York City, where hurricanes don’t often land, there’s a lot of preparedness for the upcoming storm, including safety checklists, evacuation centers, possible power outages, and preparedness guides and tips tips to finding your hurricane boyfriend. Wait, what?! [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
The Problem With Dating In The Extreme Heat
I prefer the Summer over Winter. The cold, especially in New York City, is a blistering, evil animal that bites at your every move. While the heat and humidity is an overwhelming beast that suffocates you in layer, upon layer of unbearable heat, I believe in the power of air conditioning. This power has one weakness, the minute you step outside, it’s no longer as effective. This is a problem, for those who have an active dating life is, at some point, you have to venture outside (unless you’re having all of your dates at Cheatu de Your Apartment). That means having to face the dreaded humidity and sweat face to face. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
Dealing With The Realities Of Your Dating Life
I could easily churn out yet another male centric post discussing how clueless women are about men, how warped their view of men truly is. I could talk about how easily influenced women are by inane ramblings of Cosmo, Sex and The City, and “the media”. I’ve written posts like these in the past, in attempts to shatter the incorrect preconceived dating notions with the following results: women who think they aren’t these type of women (but truly are) herald the post and women who think they are perfect they way they are and don’t need to change (but they do) quickly dismiss the views.
The other subsect of my readership, the male population, would hold the article as yet another weapon to defend themselves from the continued criticism thrown down upon them. They follow this defense as a sign, that women are out of touch with reality. A group of guys would state that women do their best to dress for a certain type of attention, only to gain the favor of men women often dub as “jerks”, “assholes”, and “losers”; while another group of men would say “move to the next woman, and don’t worry about those chicks.” This leads back to the premise of men being assholes or men needing to step up their game. Women would then complain about men’s perception of themselves, a writer at Cosmo defends women and begins writing more “tips” in why men are wrong, another writer has the brilliant idea to make yet another Sex In The City, and thus the cycle repeats itself.
The problem is, as a whole both genders don’t deal with the reality of dating. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
What’s More Important To Your Dating Life? [Poll]
There’s several ideas, about what makes a “better” dating life. From my experience, it’s never truly the case. Often, these ideas boil down to several trains of thoughts: more dates, more partners, or better quality. How you meet each ideal is different for a particular person. However, it does raise an important question about dating: what is most important to your dating life?
What Changes Would You Make, To Get More Dates? [Poll]
In the last few weeks, there have been several interesting discussions, and reactions to posts. These discussions revolve around the need to make changes to acquire more dates, and while I may have a philosophical problems with many of the suggested changes (to be outlined in a future post), it does raise the question; what changes are people willing to make, to get more dates? I’m really interested to know what people are willing to do for a chance at more dates.
