Critics scrutinized the popular HBO series Sex and the City for the unrealistic extravagant lifestyles of its female protagonists. My biggest complaint with the series, and the myth it still perpetuates, is that I don’t know many single women who have that much sex. I have lived in New York now for nearly 12 years. Single […]
Since my divorce, I can’t seem to do anything right when it comes to dating. I try to hard, I don’t try hard enough, I go out too much I stay inside my apartment for days on end, it doesn’t seem to matter. I have read multiple books on dating, even ones on male […]

My marriage immediately ended and I entered the dating pool past my prime reproductive years. I knew it would eventually take time to have […]

So that might seem like a overly negative title to a blog entry…”The Fairy Tale is Over”. But as I tell my mother almost every time we speak. “Mom, dating is just a different game when you are divorced and over 35″ I left my husband because after a total of nine years together, seven […]
I decided to re-write this blog post because it was one of the single most popular articles I have ever written. As I noticed how many reads it was getting everyday I decided that I hated it and wanted to redo it. Until I got divorced, I was completely unaware of the realities of dating […]
