Male and Female Dating Perspectives

A couple I know met like this: he came into the store where she worked to buy things for his work, and saw she was hot, sexy and confident. They flirted and chatted and swapped phone numbers, started dating, and now they’ve been a happy couple for more than two years.

Gold Diggers

Posted on July 15th, 2009 | 37 comments

A recent comment at Dad’s House touched a nerve with me. It reminded me of a problem I’ve had dating in Silicon Valley – some women seem solely focused on how much money they can get out of a man.

My Valentine’s Day rocked. I’m not in a dating relationship, and rather than be alone I attended a white tantra group seminar. White tantra is sort of beginners tantra – it helps ground your intimacy in a heartfelt way, preparing you for red tantra which mixes spirituality with sex.
In other words, we did a lot [...]
