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…

Picture this: you’re traveling solo, en route to the airport. You’ve stopped at Hudson News to purchase a few magazines, sneakily shuffling Us Weekly in between the folds of Time and U.S. News & World Report and head over to sit while you wait for your flight. Though you should be focusing on all the worthy (ahem) reading material before you, you can’t help but do a quick scan of the room. Hello! Who is that handsome stranger with the excellent behind standing just two aisles away? Is he looking at you? How can you make this happen? What if he’s ‘the one’?

Welcome to Bride-zombie-land

I don’t now much about zombies aside from the fact that they appear to be taking over the world. Seriously, Americans go crazy for zombies in a way I haven’t seen since “Small Wonder” became a hit in the 80s or “The Sopranos” took hits out on each other in the 90s. They’re everywhere. From “Zombieland” to “The Walking Dead” to “Plants vs. Zombies” to “Shaun of the Undead”, they simply won’t go away. How soon would we be hearing references to zombies in love relationships? I wondered with fear. How soon would “He ate my heart out” implement itself into polite popular culture? How soon?? more…

Most of you know my stance on long-distance romance, but for all you newbies, here it is: it doesn’t work. That said, I’m fully on board with a recent report I read in the New York Post which said that women are leaving the city in droves, seeking out men in the suburbs. The force is strong with these wise women. more…

Who would you date?

I know I tend to write a lot of shizzle about The Bachelor without ever having truly watched it, but that’s because I’m truly fascinated by it. 25 men/women vying for the attention of one ‘Bachelor’ or ‘Bachelorette’, who, by the way, is probably making out with at least half of his or her wannabe loves. In the words of the great Peter Griffin (of Family Guy fame), it really grinds my gears when I see any of these clowns pledge eternal love on a TV show…and give those that have ‘made the cut’ a ROSE of all things to advance to the next round. How trite and corny can you get? These people obviously haven’t heard of Dorothy Parkermore…

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.?

Where can you avoid feeling sad and alone come February 14?

I’m not one of those people who snarls at loved up couples on Valentine’s Day, nor am I one of those women that needs to go out and get drunk with a gaggle of girlfriends to prove that I’m like, sooooo happy being single. But the way the world makes such a big deal out of this one holiday, I feel like I should be living one particular Bridget Jones’ Diary quote: “I suddenly realized that, unless something changed soon, I was going to live a life where my major relationship was with a bottle of wine and I’d finally diet, fat and alone, and be found three weeks later half-eaten by Alsatians…or I was going to turn into Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.” 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…

Technically, Phil Mitsch, I think that’s illegal

I will never date a politician. This isn’t because they’d never be attracted to the hippy, beach-girl thing I’ve got going on, but because, for the most part, they seem like stuffy, buttoned-up slime puppies. But maybe that’s just the ones from the Tri-State area (and Arkansas, can’t forget good ol’ Bill and the classy flavor-saving ‘lady’ he picked up). The latest assclown to offer horrible advice is New Jersey Republican Senate candidate Phil Mitsch, who has some classy advice to offer women to prevent their men from cheating. Via Twitter, of course, because I do so love to take my love advice from men without necks who wear really bad toupees…

This is legit, yo — it’s from CNN

I knew there was a reason I loved living in California so much. OK, I’m kidding — I don’t give a rat’s-you-know-what about men who have money (something Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger would not be happy to hear me say) but for some women, it’s at the top of their deal-breakers list. So if you want to snag a guy who’s affluent with minimal effort (meaning: there are more guys per capita in each of these locations), then you need just look at this list. It’s unfortunate for me that I couldn’t care less about how much he earns, because the numero uno spot is less than ten miles from my casa. Yeah, I know, I know…some girls have all the luck. So why isn’t Taylor Kitsch my next door neighbor again? more…
