The 15 Minute Dating Blog

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.

As a new writer for 15minutedate.com, my last intention is to sound narcissistic. However, I am afraid that impression is unavoidable because today I will not only be speaking for myself, but for Jesus as well. We are currently living in the year 2007, and our society of the United States of America has practically become numb to the most private aspect of a human’s life: sex.

The values that our citizens once so proudly cherished in sitcoms like Leave it to Beaver-education, family, and respect, are now slowly drowning in 50 Cent lyrics, strip clubs, and photo rating sites like hotornot.com. Despite what your beliefs may be, Jesus has been watching from the Holy City in the clouds, and is anticipating the very moment when our Earth has finally reached its breaking point; when we are finally over our heads with sin and injustice.

Women can’t say the word “No.” Plain and simple. So what do they do? They use excuses or alibis to tell men they are not interested. Women don’t want to hurt a guys feelings because they know it would kill a guy to hear the truth…”I don’t like you.” While it may appear nice it often leads to guys being misled.

Here is a list of excuses/alibis that women use in order to tell you that they are not interested in you. Girls who like you would never say these things to you. You see whether they fall in love at first sight with a guy, or whether they have the slightest interest/attraction towards a particular guy, they have to go out with them. Period. But when they don’t feel that way - you hear one of the following.

Ever wonder if your girlfriend is speaking a foreign language? Are you frustrated that every time she ask you a question, somehow you always end up with the wrong answer?

Here’s an article that takes a humorous look at the intricate art of reading your girlfriend’s mind when she asks a question.

Questions From Your Girlfriend That Aren’t Really Questions

It contains some common (perhaps overused) questions such as “How do I look?”, “Do you think she’s pretty?”, as well as some funnier ones like “Don’t our married friends seem happy?”.

Enjoy!

My whole body tingled as I looked at Amy Lou. She was built like Pamela Anderson, seemed as intelligent as Jodie Foster and looked as if she wanted to party 24/7. That was the good news. The bad news was I was looking at her photograph on a dating site where I was hunting around to make some new female friends aged 40–50, because at that age women understood a lot of things. Plus, I was 45 and any woman below 38 or so would fall in my “juvenile” bracket.

The key elements in her dating dossier read:

Back in December, I did something I swore to myself I would never do. After the prodding of family, friends and coworkers, I buckled down and joined JDate, the online dating website for Jewish singles. A month and a half later, I cancelled my paying membership. Did I find true love? Had I gone from total non-believer to newest JDate poster girl, complete with gargantuan sized photo of myself and my new love obnoxiously displayed in New York’s Times Square? (If you’ve never seen this horrid billboard of rotating JCouples, you’re not missing out). Oh no, dear friends, quite the opposite.

This blog is mainly for guys, hence the picture above that will draw many Maxim readers in. But women are welcome to read this, and might find it interesting, too. Anyway, here’s a question for the guys who are reading this: If you were in a club, and a woman approached you who looked like the one pictured above, what would you do? This question is, of course, assuming that you’re not already seeing someone.

The most logical answer to this question is, unless you were really stupid, your ego would go up 50 points. Not to mention you’d probably be thinking you were drinking the good luck elixir that Harry Potter drank in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. But if you look anything like me in the picture below, this kind of scenario probably doesn’t happen a whole hell of a lot:

This is a humorous video clip of 7 tips on how to be the perfect girlfriend I found on VideoJug.com. While I don’t agree with some of the points entirely, I still think the British guy was just hilarious. “… Symptoms of hunger to be looked out for include grumpiness, slightly flared nostrils, or he may appear to be hunting …”. Apparentlly there is also a boyfriend version “How To Be The Perfect Boyfriend“, but in IMO the 1st one is still funnier.

A friend recently decided to enter the world of online dating. Because I’ve been in the trenches for a few years, she asked me for advice.

“Read people’s profiles like you’re reading the real estate ads,” I told her. “Think about it. A ‘charming guest house’ is really a garage with indoor/outdoor carpeting, a toilet and a hot plate. A ‘handyman’s dream’ is a dump. And ‘Beverly Hills adjacent’ is NOT in Beverly Hills.”

Below is a map from the February 2007 issue of National Geographics that shows the distribution of single men and women population among the US regions. Size of red dots represent single women population and blue dots represent single men population. According to the map, if you are female and still single, the happiest place for you on earth right now is somewhere near Disneyland in Orange County

In the spirit of Friday the 13th, I would like to share some unpleasant items for the guys….

For all you math geeks out there, this is a research paper written suggesting that if you are still a single man in your 30s, there is a high probability that you will die alone. Here’s the link to “Why I Will Never Have a Girlfriend” (aka “A mathematical proof on the impossibility of finding female companionship”)

Also, for those who has played this violent video game and have an ex (not axe) can probably get a kick out of this. “How dating my ex was like playing DOOM II on nightmare mode“. My favorite was the gossiping cacodemons LOL

There are three basic categories within the genre known as the pick-up line. Anyone who has ever tried their hand at this art form knows that certain lines can be more effective than others, depending on the location, atmosphere and attitude of the recipient.
