So, Who Really Loves Valentine’s Day?

Gold diggers.

Why? Because it’s another day (re: excuse) to soak their spouses/significant others/guys that they’re stringing along to buy them massive presents and other worthless trinkets.

The bargaining power of gold diggers is quite awesome…the potential that if the suitor has earned their respect via buying x amount of stuff/giving x amount of dollars, then they may get to “the goods”.

I’ve never really understood this rationale…from an outsider’s perspective, it would be a lot cheaper and more productive to take that money to improve yourself. Honestly, and good woman worth a damn won’t insist on having you buy her expensive gifts, but will be appreciative when you actually do.

Now, I’m not saying that you never buy your mate a gift, because women don’t like cheapskates (ladies, it’s a guy thing…we all have to fight through it), but purchasing your way into someone’s heart, or pants, never works in the long run. Things like communication, common interests, trust, etc. works a lot more…and the best thing is, it’s free!

A New Year and A New Decade!

Since we’re going with the whole “new” theme, why not a new attitude about dating?

Ok, I know what you’re thinking…how can I have a new ‘tude about dating? Well, if you’re like most people, your attitude about dating…well, sucks. It’s time to re-think about our perspective about dating.

In all honesty, it isn’t a “new attitude” or look…it’s really just getting back to basics.That’s what this site’s all about…but it won’t just be about advice. There’s a lot of that floating around, yet no one really seems to really use it, which is why we are in the condition that we are in today. There’ll be stories…some will make you laugh, some with make you cry, and some of them you’ll have to wait until you get home from work to read. Ok, maybe not, but that’s at your discretion.

BTW, I hope that everyone ate their black-eyed peas, because a little bit of luck never hurts.
