Don’t bother meaning well

I know lots of you hate John Mayer and think I’m totally retarded for liking him. That’s fine, because particular gems of man-to-man advice like the one below should not be ignored.

Don’t get me wrong, we all can appreciate those good intentions. However, they don’t say that the road to hell is paved with them [...]

Maybe this is what love looks like

I don’t give a shit how sappy this makes me look. I am fairly sure it’s not real, but that’s not the point. Better hope your girlfriend never sees this fellas, we’ll think you’d go to the end of the earth (or at least hop through a few countries in your undies) for us, too.

Ladies: when to forget him and move on

A few weeks back I found this: 8 reasons to move on from a relationship/dating experience. However, the list seemed to be missing a few key points I wind up bringing up when counseling my female friends about the lame dudes they go out with. I’m posting my additions here for all of you ladies [...]

Hanging up my hat

You’ve probably enjoyed the posts where I fling myself in front of the proverbial train when it comes to dating. A few weeks ago I deleted the last of my dating site profiles; I’m putting e-dating to rest, my friends.
“But why, Julene! I like reading about your hilarious mis-adventures.”
Trust me, it’s been fun relating this [...]

Henry Rollins does not want you to read Harry Potter

Actually I’m pretty sure this is the perfect explanation as to why people don’t make it past date three with me, really. (However I have trained myself not to create or answer any “list” type questions. It’s for everyone’s benefit, I promise.) I still love Henry Rollins, and I feel all the better for knowing [...]

E-Dating #13: I’m not into eco-fags

I got three phone calls in rapid succession recently from a number I didn’t recognize. I don’t know about you, but I don’t answer numbers that aren’t already in my address book unless I’ve recently put something up on Craigslist. When I called the number back I hit an obnoxious voicemail of a recorded song [...]

Busted trolling on TinyTim

It’s funny to me that the types of guys most people would expect me to be into–tattooed, pierced or otherwise “alternative” (as much as I hate the term)–aren’t really my speed. I love them clean cut, presentable… simply put, give me a yuppie white boy any day and I’ll be pleased. While I wouldn’t say [...]

Disregard males, acquire currency

You guys have read about my adventures in e-dating and have clearly noticed the fact that few dudes last past three or four outings. One time I met a dude off the internet, and he was actually pretty cool. Attractive, smart, fun in bed; the trifecta of a good time. He was going to be [...]

Charm-ing the ladies

A horrifying thing was brought to my attention yesterday: full grown women own charm bracelets. Not only do they own them, but the men they date/marry/sleep with and feign emotional attachment to PURCHASE THEM.
Sidenote: Why is it all bad news about dating habits presented to me via AIM?

E-Dating #12: Do people flirt via Internet fight?

The problem with me and internet dating is that I am really picky. To save myself & everyone reading my profile some time, I recently added a listing of people who shouldn’t waste their time messaging me. Don’t worry, I finessed the shit out of the way I wrote it out in my profiles. Or [...]
