I’ve been on some bad blind dates in my day – women who fudged their age by 10 years, trimmed their weight by 50 pounds, turned out wanting a sexy arrangement (yeah, that kind of sexy arrangement.) But none prepared me for one I endured at Starbucks this past weekend. Trust me, I’ve never downed [...]

Remember the woman I met on craigslist who wanted to meet-up during the dinner hour at the most expensive restaurant in town for “drinks”?
We had used a combination of phone calls and text messages to try to sync up. Finally, she cancelled the whole thing, texting that she had a family commitment. A week later, [...]

Think Craigslist dating is for low-lifes? Think again. A recent email from a Dad’s House female reader says it’s not only great, it’s ridiculously empowering. And I’m not at all surprised.
I’ve long been a proponent of Craigslist dating. While paid matchmaking sites might overall have higher quality clientele (though that’s an arguable point), the approach [...]
