I’m Telling You Guys, Just Start Faking It

It’s official, women are suckers for an accent. In the last few hours working at Starbucks every couple that sat down next to me consisted of a foreign man and an attractive American women, and let me tell you, the girls were willing to put up with some of the least riveting conversations I’ve […]

How to Get on MY List

Over the weekend I worked the guest list at a downtown club and let me tell you, there is no sense of power like a clipboard in hand and a line down the block. I was told in advance to work at my own pace and not let anyone intimidate me so I focused […]

Like a Diabetic Kid in a Candy Shop

A gay bar to a woman is like a mirage in a desert- everything that you want but can’t have dangled right in front of your eyes. Gorgeous men, toned bodies, impeccable style, and a highly tuned appreciation for the arts.
Now of course I realize I’m speaking in stereotypes- this is not the […]

Frozen Grand Central and More Funny Videos

The weather is not the only frozen thing in New York right now. This video is one of the reasons why I love living in a town full of artists- you could walk into an impromptu installation any time, anywhere. Check it out:

And for a little more low brow [yet hilarious] entertainment on the […]

In the Name of The Greater Dating Good

I decided to give Connect Zero a second chance, not because I thought he would win me over but because I have an empathetic streak that tends to stroll hand in hand with its pall the guilt complex. For all the times I’ve wished for a do-over with a guy I really like the […]

Sick in the City

OJ, Kleenex, and daytime TV sums up my existence over the weekend. Thanks go to the windstorms that spread germs all across the city and kept me cuddled under blankets all weekend long. I canceled plans, fell asleep at all odd hours of the day, and blew through a roll of toilet paper faster […]

Super Cute Super Bowl Champ

You know what I’m tired of hearing? Eli Manning being knocked for not being the best looking quarterback.. Sure he’s up for comparison against Tom Brady, who practically has a male modeling campaign and fragrance lined up for the off-season, but he’s not a bad looking guy.
I actually like the fact that he […]

Do We Have Any Ex’s In The House?

Tonight I was treated to a bit of a “This Is Your Life” kind of night as the universe paraded failed relationships in front of my eyes that spanned my entire existence in New York City.
I went to see Fred’s old roommate do a stand-up comedy show, knowing that I would probably run into […]

Forget Red & Blue, Do I Live in a Date State?

As much as I love dating advice that I get from friends around the country, I really believe that regional norms have a large influence. What personality traits come to mind when I mention Southern California (laid back? superficial?), Texas (hospitality? family values?), or New York City (rude? fast-paced?)?
The factors that influence where a […]

Under Thirty But Feeling Over the Hill

So, if you really want to feel old, go out with a group of students. We actually came to a point in the night tonight where a 22 year old young fireman-in-training tried to guess the age of everyone in our group. I stood next to a young woman one year younger than I […]
