Putting Money on the Table

This article examines the role reversal relationships in which the woman makes more money than the man. According to the article : “…For the first time, women in their 20s who work full time in several American cities — New York, Chicago, Boston and Minneapolis — are earning higher wages than men in the same age range, according to a recent analysis of 2005 census data …”

“…Ms. Rosenmann, 28, who owns a company and earns up to $150,000, said dating considerably older men helps her avoid innuendos from younger men who feel threatened by her professional success. She said that when she has gone out at night with men her own age and has to turn in early to be fresh for work, they have commented, “Oh, Anna’s an adult, she has a real job.”…”

The Juggle

There once was a boy named Jack who really pissed the hell out of Jill.

It seems Jack liked to dip his pail in the well. The only problem was it was Jill’s … and Jane’s … and Jessica’s … and …

You get the picture.

This bastardized allegory could easily see the roles reversed as men and women for eons have waged a battle we more commonly know as dating multiple people at the same time.

My Internet Dating Journey

I have always been the type to do research, but, I never thought internet dating would become one of my projects. It started very innocently; I was bored and lonely. Internet dating has become quite an “interesting” journey. to say the least. The word “interesting” is not really the word I would use to describe my experiences over the past 2 years.

I was a very naive individual; somewhat sheltered, in a worldly sort of way. If I had a mean bone in my body, it was never intentional. I took anyone and everyone, at their word. The reality wouldn’t kick in for quite a while.

Dating Your Boss

Friday, September 14th, 2007

Arthor Ladies, let me start off by saying that I am not strictly opposed to the idea of you dating your boss. Let’s make that very clear. If your boss is smart, funny, interesting, charming, perfect, single and looks exactly like Matt Damon, stop reading this article immediately and go date him!! I know I would have, had that been my situation. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite go down like that.

Guys, you may, in your lifetime, come across some ruthless cougar who is also higher up than you, who will sink her claws into you, and beg you to have sex with her everyday on top of the $4000 mahogany desk in your office with a breathtaking view. If that sounds like something you may be interested in, I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. Unfortunately, my situation wasn’t quite like that either, but hopefully I can shed some light on what it was like for me when I dated my superior in the workplace.

At twenty-two years old, I moved to New York City and got a job working as a waitress at a busy chain restaurant in Times Square. Nick was my boss. Well, technically, he was my boss’ boss. While he was not conventionally hot or extremely good-looking, he was tall and had nice blue eyes, and was charming in his own way. Nick was also a player. A big-time PLAYER, and I appeared to be just his type: young, wide-eyed, innocent (enough) and at the time, I was oblivious to the fact that he had dated or tried to date every other female server, host and bartender in the place. Nevertheless, we developed a flirty and friendly relationship, and pretty soon he had asked me out on a date.

Online Pickup Lines : One Line at a Time

Monday, September 10th, 2007

In today’s boisterous society, the Internet offers a convenient avenue for meeting new people. One has simply to sit down in front of the screen, choose a random name, and fire off a pickup line. Online pickup lines can vary from the highly adapted pun “Do you come to this web space often?” to a more general and significantly less coherent “You’re Hawt” - At least those are some of the ones I have seen.

Are You Permanently Celibate?

I received an email this week from one of our members at SexyAds.com that left me reeling. Now if you’ve never visited our site, we allow our members to write pretty much whatever they want in their personal ads or blogs or forum posts and as the name implies, sometimes it’s of an adult nature. So today this guy gets an email from a woman who’s been a member for more than 6 months and has logged in 298 times. She writes:


Hello, my name is Mandy and I saw your profile and thought I’d drop you a line. I’m happily single and permanently celibate by choice. What about you, what’s your story?

Now don’t get me wrong, being single can can often does have its advantages and after a while I’d get used to it, but never in my wildest imagination could I say the oxymoronic “I’m happily single.” I could go with reluctantly single or unfortunately single or better yet contentedly single. I just couldn’t figure out what this woman thought she was doing on an adult personals site if she was happily single AND permanently celibate.
