Expert advice from one in the know

I must have been 27 when I met *Ben while vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard. He was British, intelligent and very droll (God, I love that word).

Is the number of sexual partners you’ve had a relationship deal-breaker?

A highly underrated place to meet men

Whenever I think about men and trains, my mind automatically wanders back to that Sex and the City episode, The Big Journey. Carrie Bradshaw is afraid to fly, so she and horny cougar Samantha Jones board a train bound for San Francisco, seduced by a sense of adventure and a serious Strangers on a Train-type fantasy.

Older man enthusiast and food blogger Carolyn Loyel is convinced that a mature gent is the right way to go in the wacky world of dating. Oh yeah, and it also helps if he’s French!

Hi there ladies. My name is Carolyn, and I’m here to write about the other age-related perspective — dating older men.

Personally, I’ve never dated a guy younger than me. I’m 26, and I usually prowl for older gentlemen in the 35 to 40 year-old range.I wouldn’t rule out dating someone my own age altogether, but it’s not my ‘thing.’ more…

Raise your hand if you’re a big fan of Cinco de Mayo but don’t know exactly what it is. I’ll join you. The extent of my de Mayo knowledge is that it’s a really good day to stay off the road because of drunk drivers, a lot of tequila is consumed and very little sense is made.

Three cheers (or more) for National Drink Wine Day!

Believe it or not, National Drink Wine Day does exist. Why do we celebrate such a seemingly unmerited holiday? Why ask why, LoveTrekkers? The answer, quite simply, is because we can! So whether you’re at home sipping on a glass of cabernet, in Santa Barbara County Wine Country drinking anything but “f***ing merlot”, throwing a naked wine party in Hood River, Oregon (yes, this actually does exist) or tempting your tastebuds with chianti in Chianti, Italy (and if you are, you are one lucky bitch), I hope you’re enjoying today. So in honor of NDWD, I decided to make a list of the bottles best able to get you in the mood. How’s that for love, huh? Cheers! more…
