How Cute am I supposed to be?

Hey Ladies, am I the only one wondering what our profile pics should be on these dating sites? Is it like a pic where I am smiling or pouting? Should I be doing yoga or a keg stand? Who really knows?  So I thought the golden rule was to have a pic of your face and then your body. However I find some girls just put up a pic of themselves in yoga pants and that usually gets the job done. To each their own but let’s get down to the meat and potatoes…. the actual profile.  Do you like to ski and be outdoorsy? (Is that even a word?) Do you like movies and is a T.V show fanatic? (Netflix and chill maybe) What are your interests? Do you say world peace or who is going to be the next American Idol? And here comes my favorite question. What’s your perfect date? (“That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket”.… sorry Ms. Congeniality quote, I just had to do it). So what are your perfect date’s ladies? Is it a walk on the proverbial beach?, is it a chat over coffee? So you both can enjoy each other’s coffee breath?

First Date

Well from personal experience, never go to a bar, the whole thing can go terribly wrong. See painful story below;

So I had a strategy all planned out. My friend and her boyfriend would go ahead to the bar. She saw his pic and knew what she was looking for. They got a seat close to him so that when I came they would be able to see me and save me if necessary. So she goes ahead and gives me the A-Okay that he is not a creep. I enter the bar looking all cute. I see him; he is super cute and nervous. I sit down and we start to chat. We order my favorite thing from the pub and we decide to share. We also both start off with one cider each. (I am a sucker for Cider….who’s with me? No one? Oh okay.) So cider gets me tipsy pretty quick. Within half an hour I tell my friends that I am cool.  They leave us all alone. We are chatting and laughing and somehow sitting on the same side of the booth. Next thing I know we are making out….like embarrassingly making out in this pub. So I suggest with my big mouth that we should probably take this party to his car. This is of course, 3 ciders in and I am not myself (at least that’s what I tell myself).  We get to his car and all hell broke loose. We start making out hard and all types of other stuff happen. Long story short, it went way too far on the first date and then after I got home, the guy barely texted me again.

Golden Rule: Basically I found out that a guy really isn’t interested in a girl that gives anything away on the first date. I find that guys like the chase. At least that is my experience. Tell me about your own experiences below, bloggers need advice too!

The Grammatically Oblivious Guy

Ladies! Just how many times have you scrolled through a guy’s dating profile and find these spelling mistakes that make you wonder “Am I desperate enough for this?”…. “will he be able to actually have a conversation with me?” ….. is there a profession known as ‘Head Cheaf’ and am I just not educated enough to have heard of this profession. I want to let you know that you are better than these grammatically oblivious men. If you are able to write a well put together, witty and cute profile so should they. I mean are we just going to let society dictate that men are lazy , meat headed morons who can’t string a sentence together. I beg to differ…. i.e (insert smart guys names) . These guys that we are expected to date right now in 2016 just think that this is what we deserve, or that our standards are so low that we should just accept anything.  They can spell a million things wrong and we should still go out with them. Well I say nay. A man that cannot spell is equivalent to a man that will not open the car door for you, a man that will not shower, a man that will have second thoughts about paying for dinner, and most definitely a man that you do not want to date.

This blog is not for the faint of heart, lol. It’s actually for women who are going through single trials and tribulations. I want to drum up some comradery among us. I just want to let you know you are not alone out there, going through countless dating websites… wondering what has happened to the world and does love truly exist. This blog is also for the long-term relationship or even married woman. You need to know what a jungle it is right now in the dating world. You ladies need to know what your , single 26 year old little sister is going through because nothing is like it was in 1994 when you found your sweetheart in university and lived happily ever after. It’s also for gentlemen who are brave enough to read a blog from a female perspective. It is a different landscape for single women and these are our stories. (Insert law and order sound)
