ISO someone equally decrepit

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Dating Goddess

When I read some midlife men’s dating profiles I get tired. Not from reading, but from their exhaustive list of extreme activities — rock climbing, remote backpacking, BASE jumping, snow camping, cliff flying. While I appreciate their exuberance for adrenaline, I grow weary just reading their exploits.

Thank goodness for friends

Posted on February 15, 2013February 16, 2013 by Dating Goddess

I heard a sharp rap through the phone. “What was that?” I asked my friend. He’d just inquired about my love life and I told him of the current potential suitor who was very attentive, but lives thousands of miles away — and who I’d not yet met. “That” he said, “was me slapping you.”

Posted on January 25, 2013November 3, 2026 by Dating Goddess

By now, anyone with a news feed knows of the Manti Te’o/Lennay Kekua hoax, or what is known in the vernacular as catfishing. It is when one is duped in a romantic context, by someone purporting to be someone they are not. Scammers do it all the time, but usually they tip their hand within…

How many deal breakers are you willing to allow?

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Dating Goddess

As we date, we begin to define our deal breakers. Some are solid — no way would you date a cheater, domestic abuser, drug user or felon. But some, you learn, are more malleable. What you thought was a deal breaker, when attached to the right guy, isn’t any more. On my list of deal…

Can dating be like “The Voice”?

Posted on January 5, 2013January 5, 2013 by Dating Goddess

Part of the allure of the TV singing competition “The Voice” is that the contestants are judged initially on only the quality of their singing. I can see the wisdom of this, as one’s appearance and movements affect how we respond to them and it could sway how one votes for a performer.
