The Perfect Man

A new poll shows what women want. Do you agree with it?

Don’t deny it — you’ve fantasized about the perfect man...and no, you don’t all always imagine that he’s Ryan Gosling. Your dream dude comes might come to you in the middle of night wrapped in a loincloth, he might have Fabio hair (but probably not, let’s get real), he might be 6’4 and have a big…bank account. Whatever. You’ve pictured him, rebuilt him, re-padded his cod piece and changed his eye color in your dreams an equal number of times as you’ve changed your underwear. Though everyone’s taste is different, a new poll reveals the results of what many of us are looking for. Do you agree with it? Or is your type more obscure (preferable, given that you won’t have to fight the masses for your man)? more…

WARNING: DB Alert! 5 Signs A Guy Is Toxic

How to know immediately if you need to stay away

I have dated a slew, bevy, plethora, deluge etc. of toxic men. You get the point: there have been a lot. There have been many narcissists, self-centered, selfish types, a man with primeval views on women’s lib and even a jailbird. As I’ve aged, this cocky bad boy thing has just gotten old. Sure, I might find myself attracted to arrogance, bu at least I know to gaze at it from afar, assess it as a negative quality and move on unscathed. For those who are still unclear about what these giant red flags look like, body language and relationship expert Lillian Glass, PhD is here to help.

Exercise = Good For Your Love Life

 Exercise makes you happy in love as well as life

I love to work out. I know, I know, I’m a freak of nature. The endorphin rush I get from a good run or a marathon session on the Elliptical always leaves me feeling euphoric and is well worth having frizzy hair and a beet red face. As it happens, my addiction to exercise is a good thing: new studies reveal that working out is good for your sex life, your sex drive and the longevity of your relationship. more…

Santa Cruz: Where Surfers Are City Officials (Not Just Beach Bums)

Not all surfers act like Spicoli!

Everyone knows I have a thing for surfers — aesthetically, that is. They have hot bodies, good hair, and they look like graceful Greek Gods when they ride that perfect wave. But as for dating a surfer? I would have said HELL.TO.THE.NO. Until I read an NPR story crushing my stereotype that all surf pros were either a) narcissistic b) self obsessed c) loners d) only interested in riding giants (and not the supermodel kind, either). In the California hippie town of Santa Cruz, smart surfers exist. Who knew? more…

One Love: Romantic Words Of Wisdom From Bob Marley


Today marks the 31st anniversary of his death

Does Bob Marley need any introduction? I should hope not. Just in case you’re Alicia Silverstone-style Clueless, Robert Nesta “Bob” Marley is the man who made ska, reggae and Rasta music famous. You might have heard one of his hits (sarcasm there) like “Get Up, Stand Up”, “No Woman, No Cry” (this song was his before The Fugees covered it, you philistines!) or “Could You Be Loved.” Today is the 31st anniversary of the Jamaican singer’s death, so let’s celebrate his life by getting, together, feeling alright and hearing what he had to say about finding the ‘one love.’ more…

The Modern Day Bucket List: Travel Over Marriage

Men and women alike would rather see the world than settle down

Believe it or not, quenching your thirst for travel is substantially more important than silencing your biological clock these days. Or so claims a recent study by Bing, which found that modern-day women (and men) would much rather fulfill their travel goals before settling down to start a family. Why not kill two birds with one stone and do some good, old-fashioned lovetrekking?

Texas Couple Claims They Haven’t Ever Fought…In 83 Years Of Marriage

Could you pull this off?

Eunice and Lloyd Ford should be knighted. In addition to recently celebrating 83 years together as a couple, the two also claim that they’ve never fought. Is that even possible? Could you do it? I couldn’t, but then, I’m immature enough that I still enjoy the making up part of arguments. Sue me. more…

Author Moves To Africa After Just Six Months…To Marry A Tribesman

Daily Mail

Jane Johnson gave up her life in the UK to marry a Berber tribesman

Can you imagine giving up everything you know to move to a different country…on another continent…to marry a man who doesn’t live like a Westerner? I’m cool with all three parts of that statement, but not even I can imagine pulling a move like Jane Johnson‘s. The Sultan’s Wife author moved to the mountains of northern Morocco to marry a Berber tribesman. Though Berbers aren’t barbarians (though, literally translated, the word means just that), I just can’t picture myself riding a camel to work, covering myself up (no V-neck T-shirts? I wouldn’t last a week!) or living in a country where drinking isn’t a socially accepted custom. God knows how an English woman is managing the latter. Though I personally wouldn’t make this personally trek for love, Jane did — and found her happy ending. This is her story. more…
