<description><![CDATA[Even your date is just human, and first dates are notorious for disasters. Theres even an eight year]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even your date is just human, and first dates are notorious for disasters. Theres even an eight year old who wrote a book filled with great dating advice. The best Christian <a href="http://thetaoofbadassf.com">the tao of badass</a> says that being comfortable and natural is the best way to break the ice. Dating can be a fun experience if everything went well.</p>
<p>By spending time with people &#8216;&#8221; of the same sex as you &#8216;&#8221; you&#8217;ll get the social interaction you need and are missing in your dating relationship. Keep in mind that your ultimate aim is to actually meet up with your dates and hopefully to ultimately find happiness. Dating Rule #4: Don&#8217;t reveal too much too soon. You feel that you need someone to be with and never want to be alone, so much that your feelings are that you would prefer to be in a relationship that is not the right one for you than to be alone. Listen closely because I have some tips for you to meet someone who is perfect for you. </p>
<p>If I was genuinely into the guy, I talked to him about things first and gave him a warning of sorts, but most didn&#8217;t change their ways. Start searching on an online adult dating site in a category dedicated to senior dating. True, if a teen girl looks like a gargoyle, it&#8217;s not likely she&#8217;ll be asked to the dance floor. Base the experience around her likes, not yours. </p>
<p>He doesn&#8217;t really care about her, he is just dating her for shits and giggles (aka. If you are choosing a blind date, go to a public place. They think they are masters in seduction. If you are a &#8220;relationship&#8221; person, you should make sure to be upfront and communicate with the person you&#8217;re interested in long term dating. </p>
<p>So finally you&#8217;re at your breaking point, and dating someone who&#8217;s married is the only thing that you haven&#8217;t tried doing. Seeking dating advice for women from an older relative or close friend is a great way to get a fresh new perspective on the dating scene from someone who has been there and done that. So, just to recap this <a href="http://thetaoofbadassf.com">the tao of badass review</a> for men from women. Dating online is not the same as than trying to pick up a woman at a bar.</p>
<p>She will really appreciate you giving her this comfort. For any two individuals dating can be exciting, fun, nerve wrecking, stressful, thrilling, heart aching, wonderful, and all sorts of feelings. Getting step one is a good start, because you have direction. You don&#8217;t have to conform when it comes to things like sleeping around or being a part of the bar or club scene, trying to pick up the latest guy or girl. When having sexual relations with another person always use protection whether it&#8217;s a condom, dental dam, or what ever floats your boat. </p>
<p>A reader wrote to me to say that she&#8217;s been dating extensively, but she still hasn&#8217;t met the right man yet. Pay attention to the personality and develop an irresistible personality to win the dating game. My friends, I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve looked up &#8216;how to&#8217; advice on the internet without knowing what I really wanted and I never put it into action. Secondly, you wish to do when you&#8217;re entering the dating game is to leave some puzzle about yourself. Altering a routine is something that communicates a lot, and you can take it as a sign of cheating. </p>
<p>Do you fit the age range she is looking for? Remember, they&#8217;re teens, too, and aren&#8217;t ready to handle being around someone who can&#8217;t accept themselves. While free sites are okay, I would recommend using a paid dating site, at least for a month. So leave that for after you&#8217;ve been dating for some time, or you are engaged or something. Thankfully, starting out small with new communication habits can build up to great things. </p>

<description><![CDATA[Do you get plagued by spam? I remember when the word was associated with foul tasting tinned meat an]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#99ccff;">Do you get plagued by spam?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/april-1-spam.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-514" title="april 1 spam" alt="" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/april-1-spam.jpg?w=160&#038;h=163" width="160" height="163" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I remember when the word was associated with foul tasting tinned meat and a sketch by Monty Python. Now, every time I turn on the computer, I am flooded with loads of unwanted junk.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And it&#8217;s not just the emails, either. I can get rid of them with my filters. However, every time I look at Facebook, I see adverts which are spam, but in web-designed form.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And some of them are strange, I have to admit.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Take this one, for instance.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/january-27-lemsip.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2104" alt="January 27 - Lemsip" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/january-27-lemsip.jpg?w=608&#038;h=93" width="608" height="93" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lemsip, the citrus flavoured paracetamol drink has it&#8217;s own Facebook page.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lemsip &#8211; Why the hell would anybody want to<em> like</em> Lemsip? Apparently, 162,240 people do and a further 6,709 are talking about it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I mean, to take Lemsip, you have to have a stinking cold and raging temperature. Is that what all these people want?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Madness. Some peculiar folk about.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#99ccff;">And it&#8217;s not just on Facebook.</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My son sent me the link for the next oddity. He was looking at some of the weird things people sell on Ebay and came across this little gem for sale at a starting bid of £0.99.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/march-10-ebay.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2105" title="March 10 - Ebay" alt="March 10 - Ebay" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/march-10-ebay.jpg?w=384&#038;h=208" width="384" height="208" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The mystery card trick number guessing game. I&#8217;m kind of guessing as to why anybody would want to bid for it. I&#8217;ve seen them before and this is out of a cheap Christmas Cracker. Not only that, it apparently comes as a job lot.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What … you mean you may want to buy more of them? Still, it does come unused and in its original packaging. Now I wonder why …?</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#99ccff;">But back to those Facebook Ads …</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/zombies.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2106" title="March 10 - Zombies" alt="Zombies" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/zombies.jpg?w=253&#038;h=103" width="253" height="103" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Zombies are everywhere … apparently. And you can buy this gun to blast them to pieces.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Not so stupid as it sounds. I went shopping in Walsall Town Centre the other day, mainly in pound shops looking for a 2013 diary. To a person, nearly every being I came within half a metre of, wasn&#8217;t looking where they were going. They all seem to stare into the air in a complete daze. It was like being on the set of Shaun of the Dead.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#99ccff;">And there are even ads when you try to log into Facebook.</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Fancy a beardo … WTF?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/beardo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2107" title="March 10 - Beardo" alt="Beardo" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/beardo.jpg?w=448&#038;h=272" width="448" height="272" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I thought it was a spoof. A joke, but no. Look on Amazon or any shopping site and you&#8217;ll see these peculiar hats for sale. A beardo. But what I want to know is … who in the name of sanity would want to wear something as ridiculous looking as that? Yes, it will keep your face warm, so will a fucking beard, so grow one.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Also, does each beardo come with displayed fashion accessory of artificial baby?</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#99ccff;">And then there be Apps …</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Once you have logged into Facebook, after purchasing your beardo, one of the first things you are bombarded with are requests which require you to install these apps. Now I don&#8217;t trust them. I reckon there are some really dodgy ones. Plus don&#8217;t anybody send me more of these My Calender requests. I don&#8217;t care. I don&#8217;t want to know.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">One I did try and gave up in boredom halfway through after sampling, was the influential albums app.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/march-10-influential-albums.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2108" title="March 10 - Influential Albums" alt="March 10 - Influential Albums" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/march-10-influential-albums.jpg?w=316&#038;h=304" width="316" height="304" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yes, that&#8217;s the one. Actually, I do have two of the five shown. Guess which. But as I say, I was about forty into ticking the ones I&#8217;d got out of the top 100 and stopped. Why would it matter? It doesn&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t care what albums are influential to other people, I only care about the ones I like. Yes, I have over a 1000 (though I have culled many to the loft), and out of the top 100 of my favourites, fifty will be spread between half a dozen artists. So why should I like what others think are influential? They certainly haven&#8217;t influenced me.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#99ccff;">And another ad …</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/robbie-fowler.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2109" title="March 10 - Robbie Fowler" alt="Robbie Fowler" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/robbie-fowler.jpg?w=281&#038;h=134" width="281" height="134" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yes, learn how to be a successful property developer by listening to soccer star, Robbie Fowler&#8217;s investment techniques.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Well, earning £100k a week for kicking a ball about gives you a slight edge in the investment market, don&#8217;t you think. Not so easy for the rest of us, Robbie.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#99ccff;">And finally, we get the dating site.</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Not looking to join one. I&#8217;m still in relationship rehab. However, I accidentally clicked a link on the Facebook site and came across this.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/facebook-dating.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2110" alt="Facebook Dating" src="http://antonynbritt.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/facebook-dating.jpg?w=300&#038;h=180" width="300" height="180" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What the hell is Gary Lineker doing using a dating site? Come on … it&#8217;s him … it really is. Got to be.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cheers.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your site must realize that you have very a handful of chances of productive a commitment phobe. You should therefore play challenging to get. You might refuse to get into bed with him for occasionally this signals the end of a marital life. Let him feel desperate; permit him to step up his wooing. But don&#8217;t give in.</p>
<p>Regarding you, I would highly recommend that you simply not change your entire life and to be able to her city, in addition to yet. Try to arrange your work schedule so that you spend a week or two with your loved one&#8217;s at least about times to get a feel for exactly who and what your lover really is.

<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I wrote a date story, but it&#8217;s been a while since my last date. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I wrote a date story, but it&#8217;s been a while since my last date.  This happened on Friday:</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve expounded before on my previous forays into online dating, and how I&#8217;ve been harpooned through the kidney at every turn.  And I think that for the most part, I take my social schadenfreude with good graces.  At the very least, it makes for some incredibly entertaining reading.  Well&#8230;lucky for everyone, we&#8217;re about to get another example of why I just shouldn&#8217;t try to date.  Ever.  I know Social Darwinism is all about culling the herd by having the wounded socially inept gazelles and having them be eaten by the lions first.  I have no problem with this&#8230;until I&#8217;m the blasted gazelle.</p>
<p>Just to give everyone a little bit of background, I haven&#8217;t been on a real date in about 3 months.  Sex / Hook ups?  Well, let&#8217;s just say that if dry spells were literal, I&#8217;d be the Sahara Desert.  Having said that, I was looking forward to meeting someone that I got to know through Match.  (Not for casual sex&#8230;I&#8217;m not the type.)  She and I had been talking for about two weeks and decided to meet in person in a town nearby.  Situation-wise, it was a perfect set up.  I liked her, we had similar interests, we were nearby to each other, she was pretty, wrote her messages and emails with a decent command of the English language, and we both weren&#8217;t in any rush to jump into a relationship.  She had all the criteria that I was looking for in a date&#8230;provided she wasn&#8217;t lying about anything.</p>
<p>Luckily for me, she really didn&#8217;t lie about anything.  We met at a restaurant in town, we had dinner and drinks.  The conversation varied, but I was proud to say that all the things that I&#8217;ve written down on my blog, I managed to follow.  Dressed well, let her talk, pretty much played the gentleman to the letter.  I said this to a friend of mine, but I never had trouble with the one on one.  I am very good at interaction and making first impressions.  My problem usually lies in getting my foot in the door.  But once the door is opened and I&#8217;m on the other side, honestly I&#8217;m much more in my element.  Not to say that I wasn&#8217;t nervous about the situation, but I was remarkably clear headed going in.  I could tell because I didn&#8217;t do the classic nervous babble, the fidgeting, the terrible jokes, or even the classic foot in mouth disease that seems to be part and parcel of a first date.  I know I did that in the past, and if my blog entries are any indication, we all know my tendency to ramble.</p>
<p>But it all went well.  We had a perfectly good time and I was all ready to hug her goodbye and ask if she wanted to meet up again.  And then, the other shoe dropped&#8230;and it was a size 14 steel toed boot to my temple.  We were leaving the restaurant together when suddenly we hear a big booming voice say &#8220;HEY!&#8221;  So I turned instinctively, as probably everyone within earshot did.  Judy (my date) was shocked to find that her ex-boyfriend had been waiting outside for us.  The guy was maybe 5&#8217;9&#8243;, maybe 5&#8217;10&#8243; give or take.  He wasn&#8217;t fat or particularly well muscled but I&#8217;d say about average build&#8230;but combined with his booming voice and aggressive demeanor, my mind immediately classified him as &#8220;big.&#8221;  He gave me that assessing look that guys are usually familiar with.  It&#8217;s the type of glance that calculates how much of a threat you are to their masculinity and ego.  I was with his ex and I could see by the way he looked at me that he immediately saw me as lesser, and therefore as a huge threat.  From his perspective, his ex had downgraded from him to me.  I know.  I&#8217;ve been on the receiving end of this particular glance on more than one occasion.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s just say that he (Chuck) and I weren&#8217;t going to be goin&#8217; to the ol&#8217; swimming hole and white washing any fences together (kudos for those who got the literary reference).  &#8220;We need to talk,&#8221; he said to Judy, who upon seeing him seemed to know what was coming&#8230;kind of like watching a car coming right for you knowing full well it&#8217;s going to run you over.  So they head to the corner of the street and start to talk.  I watch the body language of both of them from a distance.  Chuck waved his hands in the air, extremely expressive.  Judy just had a look on her face like she would rather be having root canal with a hacksaw than be there.  So I watched the argument unfold for a couple of minutes, trying to give them some privacy when I realized that I honestly didn&#8217;t need to be there anymore.  So I marched to the corner and spoke to Judy.  &#8220;It was nice to meet you.  You guys obviously have some stuff to work out so I&#8217;ll be going.&#8221;  Then I turned around to leave.</p>
<p>Now&#8230;first mistake I made was probably going over there to say anything at all.  I should have just left without a word, slinking back into the shadows from which I came&#8230;but, nooooo.  I just had to say goodbye like a gentleman.  I hadn&#8217;t taken five steps away when I felt a meaty paw grasp my shoulder and spin me around.  Immediately, my body entered into my fight or flight mode, triggering my crisis management center.  I felt my brain click back to the mode I used to have when I was a bouncer at a bar.  Assess the opponent, survey the surroundings, how to end the fight quickly, who needs protection, and where the quickest route out was.  In an instant, that information flooded my brain, and while the adrenaline pumped through my ears, my body stiffened in reaction.  &#8220;Stay here.  I need to talk to you too&#8221; Chuck said.</p>
<p>So now I was indignant and pissed.  Good.  Pissed is more useful than scared and unable to move.  But I maintained composure and spoke with calm measured tone.  &#8220;This is between you and her, man.  You obviously need to work out some stuff.  We just had dinner, and now I&#8217;m going home.  Good luck.  Hope everything goes alright.&#8221;  I felt bad that I was pushing the problem back on Judy, but then I realized that it was never my problem to begin with.  All I was doing was giving the problem back to its rightful owner.  I turned again and tried to leave&#8230;I say tried because bear claw decided to clamp on my shoulder again.  And once again I fought the urge to break it at the collarbone.  See&#8230;the key is a proportional response.  I was spun around again.  &#8220;Don&#8217;t leave.  I need to talk to you.&#8221;  Again, I fought anger and won&#8230;but not by much.  &#8220;I&#8217;m a grown adult, and I&#8217;ll go where I want.  And where I want to go is home. I ain&#8217;t in it.  Get me?  Nice to meet you.&#8221; I responded.  I guess he sensed the sarcasm because this time I didn&#8217;t even get a couple of steps before once again the arm came down.  This boy was obviously not the brightest bulb in the knife drawer.  This time he started to encroach on my personal space a bit more, and I smelled the booze on his breath.  I immediately felt better.  I knew what to do with drunks.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not done with you.&#8221; he said.  I sighed.  At this point, I had spent more time than I even remotely cared to on a situation that I wasn&#8217;t even involved in.  Somehow by reacting, I had placed myself in the middle of an ex-lover&#8217;s quarrel.  A five minute goodbye was now reaching the 20 minute mark, and I was ready to go home and drink myself to sleep.  Apparently my impatience showed.  &#8220;Really!?  You&#8217;re spitting lines like a cheesy movie villain!?  Really!?  Last chance.  I am going home.  Touch me again, and it won&#8217;t end well for you.  Good night.&#8221;  During these interactions, Judy stayed silent, mostly because now Chuck had decided to start something between him and myself and now it was her turn to try and avoid the conflict.  But after those words left my lips, Judy understood that I was at breaking point, and that the point could very well be Chuck.  &#8220;Baby, let him go home.  We need to talk, remember?&#8221; Judy tried to readjust the attention to herself.  At least that made me understand that she felt badly about what was going on.  Up until then I was still wondering if she was going to throw me under the bus to save herself.  But she had the decency to feel bad and embarassed about the situation.</p>
<p>Haymaker.  That&#8217;s what they call giant hooking punches that can knock you out colder than a glacier in the Antarctic.  Blinded by anger and booze (probably mostly booze), Chuck swung at me.  With adrenaline pumping through your veins, a drunken haymaker seems like it&#8217;s coming at you in slow motion.  I backstepped out of it just in time to feel the breeze coming off of his forearm as it whizzed by.  By the second swing, I was ready for him.  &#8220;STOP. TRYING. TO HIT. ME!&#8221; I yelled at him while trying to dodge his clumsy hooks.  All the while Judy was yelling for him to stop, and that we just had dinner, nothing had happened, etc etc..  I heaved a giant frustrated groan, dodged his last punch, stepped in, and swept him to the ground.  I mounted the waist which was probably my second mistake, since that didn&#8217;t really pin him.  He tried to sit up, his arms reaching for my throat to choke me.  So I gave him what he wanted and thrust my neck forward, followed quickly by my head which connected with his nose.  I tensed my neck so I wouldn&#8217;t follow through.  I know Kevin James would have you believe that no one wins in a headbutt, but judging by his dazed expression&#8230;yeah, there&#8217;s a winner.  And at this point you all are calling &#8220;bullshit&#8221; on the story.  That&#8217;s fine.  Honestly, if it didn&#8217;t happen, I wouldn&#8217;t believe me either.  Hell&#8230;who the heck headbutts someone into submission!?  Reality has long ago left my plane of existence, screaming in agony, threatening never to return.</p>
<p>So then I pinned his shoulder with my knees and sat on his chest with my body weight.  But at this point the fight had gone out of him.  Of course, that was when the police showed up.  They pulled me off, and they restrained and cuffed Chuck who blindly attempted to hit me and almost knocked out an officer in the process.  So&#8230;that was a bad move.  A report had to be filed so I was questioned, Judy was questioned, some witnesses were questioned&#8230;  The cops in town were used to these skirmishes since it was a college town.  I asked them what would happen and they said they would put Chuck in the Drunk Tank until morning.  Judy cried and apologized to me for the trouble, stating that Chuck and her had broken up about 3 months ago and that he had never gotten over her.  To which I replied &#8220;You think?&#8221;  Apparently, Chuck still had a spare key to her apartment and she had never changed the locks.  He had come in that night and saw the email that I had written to her outlining where and when we would meet and he decided to wait for us.</p>
<p>In the end, I suggested that she lay low for a while, maybe stay with a friend or relative while they changed the locks on her apartment.  I also suggested a restraining order, and a court order for him to receive psychiatric treatment.  So&#8230;case closed.  I&#8217;m like&#8230;a god damn drama magnet.  Either the date is uneventful or it&#8217;s so chock full of entertaining drama that I could write a mini-series.  I don&#8217;t want you all to think that I only have terrible luck.  I just don&#8217;t write about the ordinary stuff because&#8230;well it&#8217;s ordinary and nothing came of it.  Nobody wants to read &#8220;I went out with a girl.  She was nice but we didn&#8217;t click.  No second date.  The end.&#8221;  That&#8217;s why the stories I tell on here are so insane.  But trust me when I say that most of the time there&#8217;s a nice one year buffer between them&#8230;unless I&#8217;m having really lousy luck that year.  Suffice to say this: there will be no second date and I give up.  I shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to leave the house let alone date.  Well&#8230;suppose there&#8217;s always next year.  Peace (no really).  &#8211; AB</p>

<p>Daniel, the persistent Italian, had sent me a few texts before the Sunday when we had met near the ice cream shop.</p>
<p>“Let’s meet for sushi tonight,” he said.</p>
<p>“I’m tired,” I replied, “It’s been a long day and I just want to go home.”</p>
<p>“But I want sushi,” he said, “Come out with me.”</p>
<p>“I can’t, I am really tired and I’m not ready to meet you.”</p>
<p>I had dressed in my usual attire for work that day: A semi-clean wife beater under a sweater and the same pair of jeans that I had worn to work the day before. I had had a hard time getting out of bed on this particular morning and decided to skip the shower. My make-up had absorbed into my pores and my hair was mildly greasy along the roots. This was no time to wing it!</p>
<p>“Please come, I want to meet you,” he insisted.</p>
<p>“I have to go home and take a shower. I don’t do well with short notice,” I said.</p>
<p>This should be common sense to men. Women like to prep before a first date. They like to have a shower, polish their nails, blow out their hair, apply fresh powder and wear a little perfume. At this point in the day, my deodorant had stopped working.</p>
<p>“I can take a shower with you,” he said.</p>
<p>I read this message with disappointment. There goes another man I’ll never meet. I didn’t reply and went home to have a shower …alone.</p>
<p>The next day I received another text from Daniel: “Did my message scare you away?”</p>
<p>“Yes it did. I am done talking to you,” I replied.</p>
<p>“It was a joke! I thought you would think it was funny!”</p>
<p>I considered this for a moment. Maybe I was being too serious about the texts.</p>
<p>“Okay, fine. Let’s meet on Sunday.”</p>
<p>In the meantime, I messaged several other men on the dating site. I decided to start searching for men who liked to run, like myself, and schedule “running dates.”  I typed, “Running,” into the search engine and found a number of men who liked to run long distances. I scrolled through to find men who I found attractive among the selected group and sent them messages. I figured that in this way, I could go on a casual first date with a number of men and get my workout in at the same time. It seemed efficient and rational. A complaint that I have heard from several men in the past regarding dating is that the man always has to spend money, so dating can get really expensive. It is even more disappointing when things do not work out, and the man feels like he has wasted his time and money. This idea seemed like it could satisfy both parties. Every man that I messaged wanted to meet me for a running date. Some were really excited about this plan, and held no hard feelings when I did not follow up after the run-date.</p>
<p>One of my running dates was with Adam. What I did not realize initially was that I had met him before, in person. He came in for an appointment at the clinic where I work and needed his finger to be checked for a broken bone. Adam was a pianist at the conservatory. He had been playing basketball with some friends and bent his finger backward. I had remembered talking to him about it in the waiting room. He was very tall, broad shouldered and fit. He wore a pair of trail running shoes, so I asked him, “Are you a runner?” He told me that he liked to get out and run occasionally and take photos with his iPhone of things that he sees along the trails.</p>
<p>When we met online, he told me that he did not ask me out in the waiting room because he was scared that I might turn him down in front of a room full of patients. I laughed and replied, “And that’s why I’m here on this dating site. It is because you didn’t have the balls to ask me out when I was right there in front of your face!”</p>
<p>We met for a run at 9AM on a sunny day. He picked me up from my apartment and we drove to one of his favorite trails. A nice thing about these running dates is that I got to see different areas of the city where I do not usually run. He chose a beautiful route. We ran along paths lined with hills of ice plants and pink flowers. The trail overlooked a large beach, and the ocean crashed along the edges of its coast. He stopped to take photos of the flowers along the path. A few horses with passengers crossed other trails nearby and I wanted to be riding on one of them. Adam was a sweet man and a great runner. He talked about his work and how he loved to conduct symphonies. He was brilliant and made me laugh.</p>
<p>When we finished our run, he drove me back to my apartment. I unbuckled my seat belt and thought that maybe he would kiss me. He lingered for a moment and then leaned into me for a hug. Confused, I got out and went to my door thinking that maybe I should not expect him to want to kiss the salty sweat off my lips after a long run. But then again, isn’t that sexy?</p>

<description><![CDATA[The Badass Gentleman&#8217;s Handbook So with Valentine&#8217;s Day having come and gone, it&#8217;s]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Badass Gentleman&#8217;s Handbook</p>
<p>So with Valentine&#8217;s Day having come and gone, it&#8217;s now a safe time for singles to come out of the woodwork.  Let&#8217;s face it, whether you&#8217;re a man or a woman, when Valentine&#8217;s Day rolls around, the air becomes a little thicker with the acrid stench of desperation.  But now that it has once again blown into the fog, we young (or not so young) singles come peeking our head outside of our storm cellars and hoping we didn&#8217;t land in the Merry Old Land of OZ.</p>
<p>That all being said, it is now time for me to give the men out there in the internet ether, a few words of advice about the art of courtship and how to behave when wooing a lady&#8230;hell, just how to act around women in general.  Now, I realize that those of you who have read the posts BEFORE this one are no doubt thinking to yourself&#8230;&#8221;who in the living hell does a single short Asian who can&#8217;t get a date think he is, presuming to tell the rest of us what to do!?&#8221;  Well&#8230;yes.  You do have a point.  But regardless of whether I can or can&#8217;t get my foot in the door, I still know how to act, and &#8220;gentlemen in training&#8221;, you can know these secrets as well.  Now&#8230;before I begin though, I should note that what I am about to tell you is the painfully obvious.  I mean, the fact that I have to even write them down is an indication on how far down the Gentleman has fallen.  But the fact is, that for both men and women, the word &#8220;Gentleman&#8221; has pretty much become synonymous with &#8220;pussified boring mama&#8217;s boy.&#8221;  So what I am going to try for is that viciously razor thin line between Gentleman and Badass.  A feat that most people have not attempted, mostly because there&#8217;s no safety net.  One step in either direction and you&#8217;re either an asshole or entrenched in the Friend Zone.  A tightrope act between the minefield and the laser grid.</p>
<p>So having said that, here we are.  These are merely suggestions of accumulated wisdom from years of speaking with friends, lovers, strangers, acquaintances, etc.. Take the advice, or don&#8217;t take it, it&#8217;s up to you.  But regardless, keep in mind that this will only pry the door open, and unless you&#8217;re able to maintain, the door will mostly likely slam shut and break your cuboid bone.</p>
<p>1) Try (Dammit) &#8211; That&#8217;s it. Seriously. Just try. You&#8217;ll notice I didn&#8217;t say to &#8220;try harder&#8221; or &#8220;try your best.&#8221; Why? Because that term is subjective and often times that state of mind won&#8217;t last beyond a third date. Because, I&#8217;m sorry, but it&#8217;s too damn stressful. If you are already at capacity for &#8220;trying&#8221;, then trying harder will only make everything all the more forced. Trying your best isn&#8217;t a great way to go either because once you hit the peak&#8230;then what? Where is there left to go? Strap a rocket to your back and head towards the moon? Sorry, son, but you lit your fuse too soon.</p>
<p>One of my oldest female friends used to tell me all the time: &#8220;I don&#8217;t need the grand showy gestures.  Sure, I&#8217;ll appreciate it if it happens, but it&#8217;s so unnecessary.  I prefer a small act of effort more often, than a grand gesture every year.&#8221;  Also keep in mind that with every large showing of effort, an equally large show of appreciation is required.  A gent would of course, never require such a thing, but often times, we have no control over how someone else will perceive our actions.  Also, too much effort makes for a man to come off as needy.  Relax.  The string quartet at the swankiest restaurant in town may seem like a great idea, but not on the third date.  This is a surefire way to end up being the guy who puts on a cape and leaves a love sonnet on their front steps at 3 AM.  (FYI: &#8220;Oh, heavenly knockers&#8230;&#8221; is not a good way to open said poem.  Fifth date material at best.) </p>
<p>On the converse, MAKE that little effort.  Compliment her clothes, notice something amiss or changed, be the one to choose where you go for dinner.  Just do SOMETHING.  Not all the time, but some of the time.  If you compliment their clothing all the time, you&#8217;re going to make a habit of it without even thinking.  If you&#8217;re coming out of the gym, hair all plastered, wearing sweatpants and an old tee, you probably are going to look pretty transparent complimenting her on her clothes.  Pick your battles.  Know when to say the right thing.  Also, while we&#8217;re on the subject&#8230;</p>
<p>2) Listen (in other words: SHUT THE F#$K UP ONCE IN A WHILE) &#8211; Quite possibly the #1 complaint by almost all the women I know in my life.  So let&#8217;s go over the ground rules shall we?  What is a conversation?  It is when two people are engaged in a discussion of a general or specific topic where both parties participate by listening and speaking in a balanced alternating pattern.  Okay, with that established let&#8217;s nitpick that definition shall we?</p>
<p>TWO FRIGGIN&#8217; PEOPLE!!  *pant pant*  Okay, okay.  I&#8217;m fine.  I&#8217;m calm.  Anyway, I can not tell you enough, gentlemen, how many times we (myself included) forget that there is another person involved in the conversation.  We extend the &#8220;Ladies First&#8221; rule in almost everything except this area.  A conversation requires two people.  It&#8217;s a discourse, which means that at some point, whoever is sitting on the other side must contribute something, otherwise you are performing a soliloquy or in therapy.  Which one is it?  Are you lying down on the couch and being charged 100 bucks an hour?  Therapy.  Or prostitution.  (Whatever floats your boat.)  That was a crass joke, I know, but let&#8217;s face it&#8230;a conversation should not be a masturbatory act!!  If you&#8217;re the only one participating, and you&#8217;re the only one getting any pleasure out of it, then my friend, you are pulling your own proverbial pud.  Just remember&#8230;you&#8217;re in public.  It&#8217;s not polite.</p>
<p>Also, while we&#8217;re on the subject and I have your attention&#8230;I&#8217;m sure your life story is absolutely riveting, and you have many anecdotes pertaining to your Civil War musket ball collection, but maybe, just maybe she might want to get in a word or two in edgewise.  I know you&#8217;re nervous.  I know that that deadspace in between your short stuttered breath is agonizingly long.  Take heart, boys.  That eon that you believe is taking time every time you pause to take a sip of water, is in reality, a few seconds.  Don&#8217;t make it so she has to look for those pregnant pauses to give birth to a change in subject.  Which brings me to the next point&#8230;</p>
<p>3) Ask (her a blasted question) - Utilize her attention to ask her a question about her.  An old college flame once told me, &#8220;Women always want to talk about themselves, and men are sexier with a little mystery.  You&#8217;d think it&#8217;d be natural for men to let women talk.&#8221;  There&#8217;s nothing worse than a man who runs at the mouth so much, his tongue is enrolled in the NY marathon.  Roll it up and shove it back in your mouth, boys.  You aren&#8217;t a labrador retriever.  Let the woman have her moment to tell you a bit about themselves.  Trust me when I say that your turn will come, but there&#8217;s no need to greet her at the door and start talking without punctuation.  Ask her a general question, and from there, you pinpoint discussion topics and interject a story or two.  The point is to find balance.  Think of it as a game of catch.  You throw a question, she receives, she tells her story, and she throws it back.  You tell yours, she tells hers, etc, etc.  If you play catch by yourself, then all you&#8217;re hitting is the brick wall, not a person.  There are no winners in this game, folks.  You don&#8217;t need to attack the poor woman with a barrage of verbal thrusts and parries.</p>
<p>Not to say you should stay silent, either.  Get in touch with your inner Zen, and find the harmony in it.  Don&#8217;t let her monopolize the conversation either.  But with women, they tend to be a bit more sensitive to hints, and so all it takes is a carefully placed argument, point, or story to restore the balance.  But for god&#8217;s sake, gentlemen&#8230;let us be kind, and give the women in our lives a chance to tell us about them.  It&#8217;s a small price to pay for what we get in return.</p>
<p>4) Look, Dress, Smell (Good, Well, Nice) &#8211; When you&#8217;re a man, it really doesn&#8217;t take you a long time to get ready to go out.  Least it shouldn&#8217;t.  That being said, an extra ten minutes to get ready to see someone wouldn&#8217;t be out of line.  Maybe it&#8217;s a date, maybe it&#8217;s not.  Regardless though, a woman always appreciates when a man takes the trouble of looking nice for her.  Looking, dressing, and smelling nice is actually just an element of my Rule 1 of &#8220;Try.&#8221;  Put forth the effort and it will be noticed.  On the converse, if you DON&#8217;T put forth the effort, it will be noticed too.  Nothing will put her off more than a guy who dresses like a hobo rapist, and smells like he works in a Limburger factory.  Sometimes it&#8217;s not that extreme.  Maybe you didn&#8217;t shave when you have two days of scruff (and it&#8217;s not a good look for you&#8230;), or you come straight from work and didn&#8217;t put on deodorant.  If you greet someone for a hug, or even a handshake, you&#8217;re close enough to know.  Stubble will irritate her skin, which means she won&#8217;t want to get close to your face.  While you may not think you smell bad, to each their own.  The opposite side of taking a bath in your cologne is not a good alternative either.</p>
<p>Atomize your cologne, and try to stick with a certain brand.  She will come to associate you with it.  Dress neat, and for the occasion&#8230;something that&#8217;s clean, please.  If you have to do the smell test to see if you can wear something out, those coins in your cup holder can be used at a laundromat.  Brush your teeth so on the off chance that your faces are close, even for a hug, she doesn&#8217;t smell what you had for breakfast.  Just&#8230;look like you give a damn.  Even a remote possibility becomes insurmountable when you prove to her that you just don&#8217;t give a flying f#$k.</p>
<p>5) Eyes (They&#8217;re up here, stupid) &#8211; Look&#8230;I&#8217;m not saying that men stare.  Okay, actually, yes I am.  We stare at all the places we aren&#8217;t supposed to look, except in the one place where it matters.  When having a conversation with someone, look at the person you&#8217;re talking to&#8230;preferrably at her face.  I know, I know.  She has a glorious body that looks like it was molded out of pure sexy, but even still, a woman likes to know that you&#8217;re paying attention.  I&#8217;m friends with an exotic dancer who I&#8217;ve known for many years.  I&#8217;ve gone to see her dance, and NOTHING is more difficult than having a face to face conversation when everything in front of you and around you is meant for you to stare.  That being said, it wasn&#8217;t until she pointed out that I wasn&#8217;t looking at her, that I realized my mistake.  While she was a dancer she used her curves to make her tips, but when I was talking with her one on one, I still was talking with her like I would a dancer, and not as a good friend.  Knowing that, I started to train myself to have a conversation with her, even with all the distractions around me.  You can&#8217;t beat a training method like that.</p>
<p>But the thing is&#8230;it&#8217;s not always that a man is staring at the inappropriate.  It wasn&#8217;t until my friend pointed it out to me that I realized that it wasn&#8217;t just that I was staring, but I honestly had trouble looking someone in the eye and connecting with them on a personal level.  Even during normal conversations, I didn&#8217;t make much eye contact and spoke into my chest or shoulder.  Sometimes I wasn&#8217;t even distracted, but it was a habit that was formed over the years that I had accustomed myself to, from being an extremely awkward teenager.  That&#8217;s one of those things that you never really outgrow.  But here&#8217;s the secret, guys&#8230;it&#8217;s a dragon we have to slay.  Because regardless of anything else, the one thing you can be sure of, is that the way to a woman&#8217;s heart is through her&#8230;well&#8230;heart actually.  In terms of emotions, it will all go through the brain, but to form any kind of relationship, it all starts from an emotional connection, and nothing does that than to look her in the eye when you&#8217;re speaking to her.</p>
<p>Honestly, that&#8217;s not just a male / female thing&#8230;that&#8217;s a human / human thing.  It shouldn&#8217;t know gender, but men are programmed to not make that much eye contact with other men because of the intimacy implied.  Not to say that looking at a woman has to imply intimacy either.  It&#8217;s just polite.  I can&#8217;t hold a conversation with someone talking into my mashed potatoes, nor is she able to get any verbal cues or hints if my eyes are downcast or looking at the Giants game on the plasma 80&#8243;.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s my preliminary guide.  I know that all of this comes across as so obvious an infant could do it.  But in my long actual conversations with our female counterparts, these are just a little of their concerns.  And let&#8217;s face it&#8230;none of it is all that daunting.  And if it is&#8230;I urge you to consider a life of celibacy and the priesthood.  I&#8217;m sure God doesn&#8217;t mind if you ramble at the mouth all day and all night.  But that woman you&#8217;re interested in?  Yeah, she doesn&#8217;t need to be that patient.  So take this Badass&#8217; advice, and learn to be a Gentleman.  Cheers!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">I was messaging back and forth on a dating site to a guy named Phil. He was a really nice guy, and he has the cutest dog ever, called Snoop. After a while of messaging each other, we decided to meet on the 15th of February Friday. As usual a bit nervous about meeting new people, even though I have met so many guys from online dating sites. I think it&#8217;s more of what to expect from them really.. what they will think of me? what will happen next? etc. It was also awkward as I am quiet person so he ended up speaking most of the time.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://bipolarwings.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/1-snoop.jpg"><img class=" wp-image alignleft" id="i-223" alt="Image" src="http://bipolarwings.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/1-snoop.jpg?w=197&#038;h=329" width="197" height="329" /></a>I managed to see Snoop as well, as he brought him over to the park. He was so cute and awesome. He pretty much jumped up and kissed me. He ended up running around like crazy. He has also been trained very well, so sits before walking across the road. I think he can do tricks as well, but I didn&#8217;t get to see them, as Phil forgot. I will see them on Friday the 2nd of February. Hopefully I will get a video!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I had to get the underground, which is a fear of mine, but I think I am getting used to it now. So hopefully the agoraphobia is going now! I wish it would fuck off quicker though, as I am always meeting people across the other side of London etc.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Phil wanted to take out Snoop&#8217;s Grandma  I think, so we went over to his friend&#8217;s and they live in a squat. Never really been in a Squat before, but it didn&#8217;t look too shabby to be honest. They also had another dog but it is illegal, and never really taken out as it tends to bite other people&#8217;s dogs. Unlucky for him!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Phil and I took Snoop and Squat out for a walk just across road to small park. Yes funnily enough the other dog is called Squat. It made me laugh a little. Both the dogs were having great fun together.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">After taking Squat back to his friend&#8217;s.. Phil offered to take me out for sushi. He ended up carrying Snoop down the escalator , was amusing, and ended up laying on someone&#8217;s foot. Snoop ended up being taken home by Phil&#8217;s friend. We ended up walking miles to find a sushi bar, ended up in Yo Sushi! My love for sushi is amazing. Although I always feel guilty when the guy pays for the bill though! It&#8217;s just awkward!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I ended up being seriously knackered at the end of the day with so much walking with Snoop, Phil and Squat. I ended up going to sleep early I think.</p>

Hi there, why so many girls that i trying to pick up (in the supermarket, mall etc) give a wrong phone number, why they can&#8217;t just say no? You can talk to hot singles with big booty&#8217;s that know how to work the junk in their trunk. We just happened to be walking down the beach when we stumbled on a nice little beach side restaurant filled with some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Better than your ex serious dating  is a great place to voice your personality. Receive messages or talk live on the chatline. Their profiles are real and natural because they&#8217;ve been written by their friends.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, for any of you who have read a few of my posts, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve realized by now that I am in a very confused place right now&#8230;.So the next on my list of things to do to help lessen this confusion, is that I&#8217;m considering &#8220;going of the grid&#8221; for a little while. Obviously I can&#8217;t do this 100% because of work, but I mean in my down time. So what I mean by this is that I will not check facebook or linkedin, or twitter, I will not go on that awful dating site, nor will I seek out social connections for about a month. I don&#8217;t know if I can actually pull this off, but we&#8217;ll see (I&#8217;m also not quite committed to the idea yet..). My rationale behind this is that I can&#8217;t figure out what changes I want/need to make if I get caught up in the same old, same old&#8230;.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying that giving up social communication for the month is going to be easy, in fact it just well may be detrimental to me, but I won&#8217;t know until I try and I&#8217;m thinking that it might be interesting to &#8220;force&#8221; myself to hang out with just me (and of course my little man when he is home!!). Maybe if I learn more about me, I&#8217;ll be more comfortable with me and then I won&#8217;t feel the need to change, or do anything to &#8220;impress&#8221; others. I would truly appreciate your feedback on this, if you&#8217;ve taken the time to read this, please know I&#8217;m grateful! And I ask that you take an extra minute or so to tell me what you think!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I confess. In 1979 Pete Bentler and I published an article entitled <a href="http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&#38;id=1980-20978-001" target="_blank">&#8220;Simple Minitheories of Love&#8221;</a> in the highest prestige journal on personality and social psychology.</p>
<p>Blame it on the exploits of the greatest psychometrician of his generation and a 28 year-old wanna-be psychometrician, both active personality researchers, trying to convince the field that the new statistical modeling methods (Structural Equation Models; LISREL) they were testing would revolutionize the field (I was wrong on that one, too).</p>
<p>Now ask yourself why neither of these guys &#8212; nor any of the other main figures in the fields of psychometrics, sociometrics, personality, social psychology, attraction research &#8212; ever went on to start a web site to match individuals on the basis of personality and life style questionnaires (I won&#8217;t dignify them by calling them tests); such sites became quite lucrative. This was in spite of the fact that at least one (Huba) had the opportunity to do so during the years when he was the Vice President of R&#38;D for a major psychological testing company and later when most of the other competing testing companies hired him as consultant. Or why did the major personality test developer of his generation and the owner of a psychological testing company (the late Doug Jackson) never consider developing such a product?</p>
<p>See a pattern here? Even the folks who made the most $$$ from psychological instruments and had the most influence in the psychological assessment journals and industry did not develop a Love Site.</p>
<p>I concede that a Love Site may be a good place to find people you might not never meet otherwise through your social and work friends and these might be good mates or sex partners. Or they might be psychopaths, perpetuators of sexual or domestic violence, dependent individuals, or alcoholics.</p>
<p>So far as I can tell from the undisclosed algorithms of the dating sites and their unpublished outcomes, I have no way of knowing for sure if the sites have a good chance of producing a good outcome and avoiding a terrible (and life-threatening) one. I suspect that if there were strong scientific evidence that the sites &#8220;work&#8221; in both cases, there would be a lot of scientific research published that supports this notion. Where is the incontrovertible evidence? Can I can read it or hear it at professional conventions? Claims on TV that a lot of people got married mean little or nothing without information about comparison groups or negative outcomes.</p>
<p>I would have no problem concluding that the Love Sites are effective if there were psychometric and other scientific evidence that the algorithms used are valid. Without such evidence, I worry that they are more voodoo and &#8220;smoke and mirrors&#8221; than places where you can find a mate and your date will not result in a rape. Of course I cannot prove my position is right, but neither can the Love Sites. My stance is safer for individuals.</p>
<p>There is that old fashioned system of &#8220;meet and greet and respect the people you meet&#8221; that did produce so many humans that we now have a problem with world-wide population growth. Sometimes older methods work better if you are patient.</p>
