When my article “Dating After Divorce in a City of Sluts” exploded all over the internet I was strangely picked up by the humor website fark.com. I have no idea who really reads fark.com but most of the comments seemed written with a 14-year-old male perspective. I did have some supporters, but the majority of comments […]
One particular dating archetype that I have heard a lot about lately is Mr. Spontaneous. I am sure there are women who do this sort of thing, but it is especially a problem with men in New York City. Mr. Spontaneous is the #1 complaint that I hear from women about dating in the Big Apple. […]
This particular problem is not relegated to any gender, sexual orientation or age group. Cowards in the dating world are sadly universal. I would bet that even prehistoric men and women scratched their heads over this dating archetype. What is a coward? A person who asks someone out on a date, only to then: Cancel last-minute Stand-up […]
I get a lot of love and hate mail due to things I have written on this blog. My critics come from every direction imaginable from angry males calling me a man-hating shrew to virulent feminists claiming I am eroding the women’s movement. I find all of this venom ironic since I average a little […]
I am launching a new category on this blog: The Hall of Fame. Anyone I place in the online dating Hall of Fame will be a person who expresses the most extreme traits of an already established archetype. To protect this man’s identity for the purposes of this article I will simply call him, “The […]
Anyone who knows me and knows this blog understands my complicated relationship with online dating websites.

We have all been on a date with a person like this. No matter what you say, or what you have accomplished in life, to a snob, it won’t be good enough. Who is the snob? And why are there so many of them in New York City. I am going to use a male […]
After I left my marriage emotionally scarred and damaged, I have discovered that I am the world’s worst dater. No really…I am the world’s worst dater. I am terrible at it. I talk too much, reveal too much, ramble on and on…and I think I come across as a neurotic idiot. No, make that a desperate […]
Pepe Le Pew, the classic Looney Toones character is a love struck skunk and hopeless romantic. In every episode he is featured, Le Pew incorrectly believes that a female black and white cat is actually another skunk and pursues her with vigor. No obstacle is too great for Le Pew as he confidentially skips along after […]
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 […]
