A reader calling herself “defensive player” has won my heart with a basketball metaphor. (Most of the time I’m not a huge sports fan, but when my beloved UConn Huskies are playing basketball, whoa nelly. Whoa nelly, indeed. Nelly, I say.) She’s wondering if her booty call is in fact just the two of them [...]

Welcome to another week at Manslations. I’d like to start off by saying thank you all so much for all the awesome comments. I’m currently buried under edits on Manslations: The Book, and so I haven’t been able to be as active in the comments sections as I’d like to. But I just want to [...]

Awesome children’s writer/blogger/daredevil dater, Lucy F., wrote a great post about how she has occasionally brought men to “open mic nights” as a litmus test of their dateworthiness. They’d not only see her do some high-larious storytelling onstage, but they’d see all the OTHER freakiness that happens at an open mic, and she’d be able [...]

Hello, loyal readers. And hello to the traitorous ones as well, I guess. (Hey, traffic is traffic, people. Keep it clicking!) Today, I’m going to be tackling a topic about which I know nothing. (Not a first for me, as some of you might know.) Dating a single mom. It is at the request of [...]

How do you stop one from cheating and lying? where can you find one that doesn’t do these things? Dear Loirelei, Let me answer the 3rd part first. [...]

Today, we’re responding to a manslations request Renu, who has a man who will only RE-act to her. She writes: So I met a guy and if I don’t call him or invite him out he doesn’t take any initative, but he is very happy when I do call and always attends everything I invite [...]

Welcome back to Manslations.com, ladies. And if it’s your first visit…well…just ‘welcome’ I suppose. Today, we will be talking about the men you can safely avoid just by what’s in their internet dating profiles. So, there’s this thing called the Internet. You might remember it from “that thing you logged into to read this, right [...]

There was an article in the New York Times recently that seemed to indicate that if you mention meat somewhere in your internet dating profile, or order steak on a first date, you will be communicating something about how fun you are. Or something. I have to be honest, I couldn’t read the whole thing. [...]

(Author’s Note: If you REALLY want to drive your man wild in bed, my book has an entire CHAPTER devoted to men, sex, the whole deal.) ______________________________________________________________________ So begins a cheesy story on every single issue of all the various magazines, promising to give you the edge in the sack, offering him things that he [...]
