The Ultimate Mother

I grew up watching the Golden Girls. When the show ran, I would sit and enjoy the antics of four, older, crazy women living together in a south Florida home in a retirement community. However nostalgic we are about the shows we loved, we have fallen in love with the characters and actors and will always cherish them. Betty White will always have a special place in my heart, which I believe is true for many of us. Obvious by the campaign to have her host Saturday Night Live.

To me, Betty White is the ultimate mother. That’s not to say that I don’t love my mother or think she’s the most awesome woman in the world. Betty White embodies all the qualities we love, enjoy, respect and ask of our mothers. To sound like a card carrying member of the Tea Party (which I’m not), Betty White is America’s Mother.

Every club has crowds of singles looking for some action. Some clubs are better than others when it comes to finding potential singles, all while featuring great music. I was quite interested in the clubbing scene in NYC, and have often ventured from club to club on the weekends. From my experience, here’s a list of the clubs and party locations I highly recommend finding potential dates (or something else). [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Why I Don’t Like The New Sex And The City 2 Trailer

Thru my perusing, I saw the new Sex And The City 2 trailer. I don’t have much of a history with the show, I’ve watched a few episodes, and never saw the movie. I don’t plan to watch the sequel either. I don’t hate the show, I think it’s well done and some of the actors I enjoy in other shows. However, I hate the message! I hate how it’s the staple for relationship advice for woman in New York City. It’s unrealistic view of relationships and dating does more harm then good. Sex And The City is up there with Cosmopolitan as bad influences for women who want destructive relationships and lives. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Dating Isn't Everything

Photo By: Leonardo D'Amico

The dating blogger community is very interesting and unique. There’s as much drama, backstabbing and gossiping as in any other niche community. Someone we can’t see outside of the bubble to realize that, this is really just that, a niche. It’s a part of our lives, but at times we all believe it to be our life. That’s when we make a very large mistake.

Dating isn’t the same thing as a relationship, which isn’t the same thing as marriage. These are all niches under a larger umbrella, lifestyle. While there are magazines dedicated to dating, there’s also magazines dedicated to sports, fishing, and interior decorticating. They are all facests of our life, but not our lives. They all make up a part of our lifestyle. At one time or another, they may take the dominant position. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Don't Be Upset: Guys Look At Other Women

Photo By: Frederic Poirot

Men aren’t blind. When we notice an attractive woman on the street, we take a look. If we are with our boys, we may comment or share a look with each other. This happens regardless of our relationship status, single, dating or in a relationship. It doesn’t mean we aren’t thinking of the person we aren’t thinking of our significant other, it just means we aren’t blind. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Find Your Luvah – Speed Dating Event

Speed Dating is interesting and helpful. It provides the ability to meet attractive, single women; allows you to practice introducing yourself; and most importantly it can be a fun experience. I was recently informed about an interesting speed dating event happening in the NYC area.

Find Your Luvah, aiming to be the largest speed dating event in Guinness World History, is going to take place at the W Hoboken in New Jersey on January 29th, 2010. The event costs only $15 (a portion being given to the charity Women In Need), and an open bar. After reading the story behind the event, I had a few questions for the organizers of the event.

Blind Dating On Broadway (#SingleOnBway)

I think dating thru social media is a great idea, you get to know a person better thru Twitter or Facebook than any particular dating website. When I discovered #SingleOnBway, I instantly thought this was a brilliant idea. It’s an opportunity to meet someone new, go on a blind date with them, and see The Pride, staring Hugh Dancy, Adam Jones, Andrea Riseborough and Ben Whishaw at the MCC Theater.

The Day Christmas Died

Before reading this post, please make sure you’ve opened your presents, had some breakfast and spent some Christmas joy with the family. This post isn’t specifically a dating post, it’s a personal story that’s a bit sad. I’m NOT looking for any sympathy points with this story, in general I try to avoid these sorts of posts that aren’t related to dating. This time I felt the need to share this with you, my reader.

When people say they hate Christmas, I always wonder with befuddlement as to the reasons why? I never buy into the excuses for their bah-humbug attitude. While I hate the winter, I love Christmas. It’s one of the most festive, reflective and wonderful times of the year. There’s so many special things about Christmas that doesn’t happen during other times of the year, time spent with the family (even if you hate their guts), presents being opened, the joy spread across family members and loved ones. Whether the holiday is manufactured, it’s a gracious time of the year. One of the few. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
