The Game According To Pickup Artists

The Game According To Pickup Artists

So many men and women say they are tired of “the games” in dating. I don’t believe them. It’s the push – pull that builds attraction and passion. Say what you will, all is fair in love and war, and it IS a war, or at the very least a game. Men and many women may [...]

Cherry Blossoms: A DC Love Story

Cherry Blossoms: A DC Love Story

After a fun Charleston weekend with some of my girlfriends from DC, I was inspired by springtime to write a bit about spring fashion in the South. However, with the Cherry Blossom Festival this weekend,  I sat down to type and came up with something different all-together…

With spring in the air, and Easter quickly upon [...]

Blonde Charity Mafia Episode 2: Where is Miss A When You Need Her?

Blonde Charity Mafia Episode 2: Where is Miss A When You Need Her?

Here’s my second episode verdict on BCM: If it’s going to be contrived, why was it contrived without Miss A? You see, she was called a “cougar” in the press and on Late Night Shots, and boy, could this episode have used one.
(Side note! In Real Life, Miss A ain’t no cougar. She doesn’t need [...]

New York Magazine’s Sex Diaries Analyzed

 

 
There was an excellent article in New York Magazine by Wesley Yang that I think my readers would enjoy. It’s called A Critical (But Highly Sympathetic) Reading of New Yorkers’ Sexual Habits and Anxieties. As much as Washington would like to downplay its sexual habits, sex is alive and well in the District, although not so [...]

Dear Miss A,
 
First let me say you and your blog are fabulous!
 
I thought this would be an interesting subject for you to tackle. My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over a month. Things have moved rather quickly. We became official after only knowing each other a few weeks. I’m scared the [...]

More to Judge

Tuesday night was the series premiere of yet another new television reality dating show from our “friends” (*cough*) at FOX.

Jerks or Gentlemen: Which Do Women Prefer?

Guy Friday,
Why are women so difficult? It seems when I am an ass to them, they love me and if I am the perfect gentleman, they think they can get away with anything. Many think a gentleman is a pushover but that is a misnomer. A man with manners can and should stick up for [...]
