From Ningin: Love is patient, love is kind. Love is not envious, boastful, arrogant or rude…but it sure is generous! If you thought the love ended with all the great editorial specials we have across the Mixr network this month, you’re wrong. We love you so much, we kind of want to be your sugar daddy/sugar mama. How so? We’ve got plenty of opportunities to win cool prizes across the Mixr Network this month! More »

From Ningin: I know many of you already do, but this February, we want more people to fall in love with us. Why wouldn’t you love us? We make you happy, we make you laugh, we’re always here for you, and most importantly we get you expensive gifts. We also like long walks on the beach and the Avatar movie. So we really want to make this February - especially this Valentine’s day - special for you so that you’ll always remember and cherish it. Life is so short. Let’s make the most of it together!

My parents joke that it’s going to be impossible for me to find you because I have such a long list of qualities and expectations for you to fulfill. It starts like this: you should be taller than me, have at least a college education and some kind of ambition, not be politically or religiously dogmatic, have a healthy sense of humor, been in relationships before, and so on. What my parents don’t know though these are all guidelines not rules. The qualities matter for compatibility and attraction reasons, but that’s not all there is to love. More »

I have always been in love with the concept of love. I suspect it’s a symptom of habitual loneliness and yearning for fulfillment that comes from being an idealistic only-child — the desire for your other half who can make walking the path of life much less of a solitary affair, even if it’s only for a little bit.

This probably also explains why I ended up majoring in English in college - I always voted for literature in the “Who’s the greater genius: Shakespeare or Einstein?” debate. It seemed to me that someone who made it his business to understand and convey the workings of the heart had a much more daunting task before him than any other unsolved mystery mankind has ever known.

Miracles happen. I don’t mean in the theological sense (the jury is still out on that): I mean those incredible, perfect events; the sort you think, until they happen to you, only occur in fiction.

When I went to college near New York City, hopping the train to Manhattan twice a week, I thought it was the only city in the world. I came from the boondocks and here there were actual bookstores, theaters and museums that showcased something other than prize-winning squashes. More »

Arlen contacted me via a dating website. We got along well enough in e-mail and I couldn’t really tell what he looked like other than he was decent looking. In all his pictures it was either of his profile, sort of far away, or he was making silly faces.

In person, he was hot. Totally hot. His profile pictures had not done the man’s physical appearance justice, at all. He was the first date I’ve been on in a loooooooooong time where I felt instantly physically attracted to him before having spoken a single word to him. 6′ -1″, broad shoulders, 5 o’clock shadow, rugged handsome, outdoorsy, light brownish blonde wavy hair, pale brown eyes that look like maple syrup in a glass container when the light shines through.

He had been waiting at Grey Dog, and when I walked in and he stood up to greet me, my whole body blushed- he was that hot. More »

From Seattle. Craigslist Ad #1569025999:

Outgoing married lady looking for adventure - w4m - 28

Just let me start off by saying I am not single nor am I looking for a relationship. Any amount of time without an is too long for me and I can’t remember my last one. I would definitely be thought of as a milf if I had children. I will only consider guys that are fit and in shape, if you don’t fit that bill you won’t get considered, if you think you are my type then send me your picture. If you put yourself first before your partner then don’t bother me please. Give me your best go, I will be looking forward to it.

MTV’s reality television show Jersey Shore has become a guilty pleasure for a lot of people. The guidos of the Shore present themselves as real-life caricatures of people most of us find hard to believe actually exist, but they do. Behind the tanning bronzer, industrial strength hair gel, fist pumping, and Ron-Ron Juice, there is a slightly mad genius to the way these guidos go creeping (the show’s slang for “picking up”). Here is a list of 10 ways to pick up on women–Jersey Shore style. More »
