A Scene in New York

I ventured into a coffee shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn, when I suddenly saw her.

Thumbing through the pages of her photography magazine, she glanced up to check the time, surveyed the room, then slipped back into a universe of shutters and fitted lenses.

I returned to my laptop and sipped my tea. She didn’t know who I was, and I wasn’t about to tell her.

For those who are in the dating game, you would be surpised on how much information you can dig up on your date using the net these days.

Internet search has totally changed the dating scene. In traditional dating you find out about the person that you are dating by spending time with him/her, and perhaps even through friends or families. Nowdays with our good friend google you can find out more than you want to know about who you are dating within a couple of minutes.

This article takes a look at the current trend of googling for information about who you are dating.

Pam Smith, who went out with a “Nice” man three times got a rude awakending when she typed her date’s name into Google and saw his name on the Most Wanted List.

“…He was the nicest guy you could possibly want to meet…Now, I feel like a fool.”

Would you ever google your date? What happens if everyone’s information is made public? Is compromising user privacy a good cause for better or even safer dating? What are some of your thoughts?

Some call it the “Sugar Daddy Syndrome.” Others call it the “Father was never around” complex. A lot of people have no problem with it, while many find it sick and perverted. Regardless of your own personal views, young women dating older men is a worldwide phenomenon that is gaining popularity and acceptance at an alarming rate.

Why do young women like older men? What attracts 20-something females to 40, 50, even 60-something males? You could spend several hundred hours with a series of shrinks in an attempt to sort through the plethora of possible answers. The only problem with that is that most psychiatrists are expensive and love the term “billable hours.” It would cost thousands of dollars to find out the truth.

Baseball season and dating season begin at the same time. Most people (especially those of us who have suffered a long winter) find that when spring begins its slow crawl - and our favorite team starts winning, we are ready to begin anew our search for a perfect mate for the long summer days and even longer summer nights.

Dating (and baseball) season has only been open since April, and already I’m losing steam. I am no Dice-K, that’s for damn sure.

The other day my penis and my brain were having an argument over where I should take my date. Certainly the analytical side of my brain and the analytical side of my penis were in total agreement. Those two halves of nothing told me to take the female unit to a comfortable setting that would create inner peace and equality for us both. They told me that this setting would naturally deteriorate the predictable psychological barriers that generally are erected out of new found encounters. During this cerebral powwow the creative side of my brain and the creative side of my penis went to battle over where I should take the female unit. In the process they kidnapped the analytical side of my brain and cut off the blood to the analytical side of my penis, draining it of all life and future decision making.

His ad seemed decent. He was a single white male, so we had two out of three things in common right away. His name was John, he was a homeowner, and he loved the outdoors and novels. He said he wanted to meet right away because there was no reason to chit-chat for weeks before the person-to-person encounter. John was a firm believer in physical chemistry; he insisted we’d have to meet each other in the flesh to see if we would be attracted to each other. If things checked out, then we could get to know each other. Being a flexible person, I decided to go with it.

If you walk around LA, you’ll see lots of Asian couples. Look closer and if you can tell the difference, you’ll see that these couples are of not only the Asian race but the same Asian ethnicity. For a city known worldwide for its cultural diversity, LA has many monoethnic Asian couples. Nothing wrong with that, but there are specific reasons for it.
