one compliment a day and so far I've managed to keep up.
So yeah, today's compliment is: I like the fact…

Many-a-writers have discussed what it is like to date geeks, to love geeks, and even to

meet-an-inmate.com. I wonder what my mom would say?…

A couple of years ago I dated a guy that I met on
Elite Mate. It was a fun relationship. We laughed a lot, kept it light hearted, and managed to spend a lot of time together after a pretty short period of time.
About a month in I planned a trip away to…

With reality shows like Joe Millionaire and The Millionaire Matchmaker and the surge of online dating sites dedicated to millionaires, the whole concept of online dating for the wealthy is gaining notice. Even
Forbes recently ran an article on the subject.
And why not, really. There's online dating specific for religious and cultural groups,
dating with STDs, long-distance dating and so on. I suppose the wealthy deserve to be…

Many
single sites ask about your income, but leave it optional to answer. On the one hand I think the income question is irrelevant because you could probably figure it out on your own by just by punching in their job title on salary.com.
