Don’t miss out on love…

Obviously, I’m a big believer that love can happen anywhere, at any time.  That’s why I want you to imagine the following scenario. Pretend for a second that you’re a New Yorker waiting for the 6 train and you happen to lock eyes with a handsome stranger across the crowded platform.  You feel a jolt down to your pinky toe (and maybe elsewhere too). But then the moment passes. He gets on the train and you’re still stuck waiting with a sinking feeling in your stomach, wondering what might have been. more…

Can you say ‘catfish?’

I’m not going to say that Manti Te’o is a big, fat liar (that would be illegal) but I will say that his situation is bizarre and something about his situation smells a little fishy…a little like catfish, you might say. more…

Also get informed about the cities that value sex the least — so you can avoid them!

I am a very, very lucky girl. I was pleased and surprised to find that my hometown of Santa Monica, California, was ranked second among the top ten places in America where sex is valued the most. I mean, I would be more excited if, say, love was valued above all else, but this I can live with. Believe it or not, eight of the top ten cities on Chemistry.com‘s sex list — in a survey of 10 million people — are in the Golden State. Peace, love and surfers galore! Why doesn’t everyone just move to good, old C.A.?

Is 13 your lucky number?

For those of you who aren’t still searching, think about the number of important relationships you’ve had in your life and how many wrongs came before the ‘right’ one. How many frogs have you kissed until you’ve found your prince? According to a new study, thirteen really is the luckiest number around. I had to not only wonder why this might be, but how it was possible for a magic number to exist. more…

Where to find love — literally — around the world

You all know that “looking for love in all the right places” is my slogan. So I’m going to be straight up with you and say that — while you’ll literally find love on this list, I can’t actually vouch for the quality of menfolk you’ll meet in each town. This is my bid to make nice after hating on Valentine’s Day all week by creating a comprehensive guide to the cities named in the honor of lurv and romance. Now all I need is endless amounts of cash and way bigger cahones to spend a week searching for my life partner in Romance, Oklahoma. more…

Would you give up sex for a month to watch Tom Brady battle Eli Manning?

I’ve got a not-so-shocking revelation for you: I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the Super Bowl. I know nothing about football, and, despite being born in RI and having lived in NYC for four years, have no loyalty to either the New York Giants OR the New England Patriots (or Indianapolis, Indiana, where SB XLVI is held this year). Yeah, Tom Brady is hot and all, but boyfriend rocked a Justin Bieber haircut like it was going out of business, which pretty much cools any ardor I may have ever felt for him once upon a time. more…

According to U.S. News & World Report + YourTango, these universities are the newest  man-meeting hot spots

It’s been — ahem — awhile since my college days. But unless my memory is hazy (which, admittedly, it may be given that there was nothing to do but drink beer and eat pizza at sleepy old Alfred University) I don’t remember meeting any particularly amazing men there. Sure, there were guys who had the potential to become amazing artists, but that’s about it. Our football team? A joke. The frats? Ditto. My point is that I wish this list had existed when I was an undergrad. ‘The list’ being YourTango and U.S. News & World Reports guide to the hottest collegiate guys on the planet. Intrigued yet? more…

And furthermore, do you like that about your city, you dirty bird you?

According to Dictionary.com ‘kinky’ the definition of ‘kinky’ is ‘Involving or given to unusual sexual behavior.’ It is an adjective. It means you like weird sex. more…

R. Luke Dubois made a series of easy-to-read color-coded maps based on dating profile results. Hope you know your geography!

Better hope you aren’t colorblind, because reading R. Luke Dubois’ candy-colored personality-trait maps will be virtually impossible. The New York-based performer and artist has manufactured 29 maps showing how men and women throughout America describe themselves when it comes to looking for love. His research? Sifting through 19 MILLION dating profiles. Will the results surprise you? They shocked me! more…

Streetspark says yes! Can I get someone to take this for a test-drive?

I received an email from my friend Christina today telling me I HAD to write about this new iPhone dating application called Streetspark. Life lesson #1 here: trust your pals. I’m now officially dying to try this app because — tada! — it claims to make dating in your very own city easy as 1, 2, 3. And as many of you know, it isn’t when we’re on vacation that we have problems meeting our match, it’s right here in our home cities… more…
