Met a dude at a bar.

Worst beginning to a story.

But anyway, I met a dude at a bar. He's from The Far Rockaways (if you're not from NYC, just let the name speak for itself...it has the word "Far" built into it), so already this isn't going to work. But whatever, I'm desperate, right? So we go out and it's like, whatever, it's fine. I'm not swooning, but I'm also not composing a scathing blog post in my head the whole time. Like it was just okay. He's getting a second date (give me a break, Readers, I've been single for 3 fucking years).

So I get some texts over the next few days and we make plans to see each other and I'm kind of "meh" about it, but I wouldn't mind a tongue in my mouth and he's not totally hideous, so I'm on board. Mind, Readers, at this point, we have been on one date, on which there was no kissing (or anything else of that nature).

A couple days before our date, I'm minding my bits-ness and "tweet" goes my phone and I see it's a text from him and I'm not fluttery about it (which is a clear sign I really am not into this dude, but whatever...I'm laser focused on getting a tongue in my mouth). Slide to view text. BAM! It is a full-on "Guys With iPhones" photo of him. Sans a shirt, sans a six pack and apparently sans Windex (ew). WHAT. THE. FUCK??

You guys, specifically straight guys, you might love getting nekkid photos of ladies sent to your phone after one date. Hear me when I tell you: this is totally a men-are-from-mars-women-are-from-venus situation. Straight girls are, for the most part, not into that shit. Particularly if A) you haven't even so much as kissed them yet and B) you ain't got the goods for that kind of bragadouchery.

In shock, I reply, "WTF?!" and receive a smiley face emoticon. End of exchange.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE END, READERS!!!!

This mother fucker has the balls (and I should know!) to send me ANOTHER photo the next day and this time: FULL. ON.  COCK.

I.
FUCKING.
DIED.

So that's the beginning, middle and end of that relationship. Straight men, take note. Don't fucking do that. No one wants to get that shit on their phone in the middle of the deep blue goddamn workday.

Dating is hard, you guys.

First of all, Dear Readers, thank you for the standing ovation. I am happy to be back. Please be seated.

I'll wait.

Now to the point:
Dudes, if you're into a bitch, you need to woo that bitch. We live in the year two thousand and thirteen, yes. And women have the vote, yes. And gays are getting divorced and the President is mostly black. But some things do not change, Readers! A bitch needs WOOED!

I am not down with this new thing of being "cool" about shit like this. Be a man! If you're into someone - and I don't care if your married for 77 years or just met at an opium den last night (fucking weirdo) - you need to send some fucking flowers. Or a note. Or a text that says something stupid and genuine. Take that bitch out on a goddamn date. WHAT HAPPENED TO DATES?!?! Like, "Hi, we met an an opium den and did sex to each other an hour later. Okaybye." NO! Take that bitch on a mother fucking date you worthless slore! Leave a damn note in her handbag that says, "I think you're great", (but not money, because that's for hookers and sends the REALLY wrong message).

Point being, stop trying to be cool by being aloof and detached. Be cool by being confident and a little bit forward and doing things that make the object of your affection feel like the fucking object of your affection. Otherwise, I'm assuming you're not into me. As for me, there is no faster or easier way to make me hit the road in a fast car than to make me think you're not into me.

Send flowers, guys. Send a note. It's only right.
Don't be a fucking asshole.

Jean-Baptiste & Karl

Picture
Karl Lagerfeld and Jean-Baptiste Giabiconi are today's Daily Duo. Karl doesn't care.

The truth is, I don't even know for a fact if these two are romantically barebacking or not (and neither do you, Reader, neither do you), but I prefer to believe they are.

Karl The Great And Powerful, the hardest working man in the fashion industry and the second hardest working man in the shade-throwing industry, had a boyfriend who died 15 years ago. Since then he has neither confirmed nor denied any personal romance rumor. Karl has used Jean-Baptiste as his muse for many years and JB (who's like 12 years old) goes pretty much everywhere with the high-collared designer (who's like 130 years old).

I think that's great. I wish them all the best.

NEW MONTHLY POST! A different narcissist featured each month!

Picture

Inspired by recent events in my own life (yes, I'm talking about you) I've decided to do a monthly post featuring a very special narcissist.  Don't get your panties in a bunch, Readers - just because we feature them as narcissists doesn't mean that A) they actually are or B) that they don't have other wonderful, amazing, incomparable qualities (in fact, I'm sure they firmly believe they do).

As a dater, I have fallen under the spell of the self-obsessed men for years, so I decided this is relevant.  Also, I just think it could be a fun read.  Dear Readers, please use these posts as very clear examples of who to beware of in your travels through singledom.
