Freedom to love

From The Inquisitr - via Baking Suit

As you eat your hot dog today,

don't forget to celebrate all the beautiful freedoms we enjoy -

including finding love in its many, wonderful forms!

Nice guys?

Baking Suit sent me a link to this article over at Inquistr.

My reaction? I so wish I had the nerve to do the same thing.

The blog is dedicated to the "nice guys of OK Cupid." The author (unknown) has apparently set out to uncover some of the...um...inconsistencies that women find in men's online dating profiles.

Hilarious.

You know, like this guy, who thinks women are sluts if they've had a lot of partners, and that women are "obligated" to shave their legs - but who also sees himself as a "sweet guy" who is one of the "few chivalrous guys left out there." At least he spelled chivalrous correctly.

Or this guy, who thinks that a "No is just a yes that needs a little convincing" - ah yes, that is "hopelessly romantic."

I'm assuming the blogger is a woman, but of course I don't know that for sure. In any case - I find this concept to be genius.

Yeah, yeah...people will say it's mean, or out of line. The blogger is just pulling a bunch of quotes and pictures and answers to silly questions and reassembling them together, all out of context.

Thing is...that is an online dating profile. A collection of photos, quotes, summaries, anecdotes, questions and answers that represent a person in the online world. I'm sure everyone has mistakes in their profile. I bet even I have mistakes in mine (which is why I occasionally ask friends to take a look and give me some feedback).

If you don't want to come across as a jerk, hypocrite, or just plain psycho - blogs like this are actually really just constructive criticism.

Delivered with a little bit of genius.

*applause*

Long distance sex

Long distance relationships have their ups and downs, and their own unique challenges. The one no one really focuses on (out loud) is the fact that sex isn't as big a part of a long distance relationship. (At least not sex that you're having with that person; but that's a different post.)

Thanks to a very horny love struck inventor who was in a long distance relationship for a while, there is an answer (pending) for that problem.

The smartphone sex toy includes a "female end" and a "male end" that enable both partners to simulate whatever sort of sex tickles their keypad. It's enabled with bluetooth technology, wirelessly connecting it to your phone, where it also downloads a video chat service so that you can see, hear, and "feel" your partner across the miles.

Thanks to the Inquisitr for posting this, and to Baking Suit for forwarding the most wonderfully random stories from her reader.

Choose wisely

I had a rough weekend, and as a result, I'm behind on everything.

I'd hoped to catch up on some posts this morning. My employer had other ideas, and now I'm buried under work, which they'd prefer I make my priority during the work day. Go figure.

As usual, Baking Suit has my back, and sent me this post from The Inquisitr.

Some might think it's a bummer that us single folk have to choose which two applies to each of us. But really, who among us is actually "emotionally stable?"

I can think of worse ways to start off your week than being called intelligent and good looking.

Happy Monday!
