Where Are All The Asian Men?
I'm not asking for myself specifically, but just in general, when it comes to the world of online dating, Asian dudes just don't seem to get the same special attention that their female counterparts do in the world of hearts and romance. There are a myriad of sites, such as Asian Euro and ChnLove that focus on matchmaking Asian women to men from various countries outside of Asia, but one hardly ever sees the reversal of roles.

Who Are The Best Christian Babes?
Outside of the political circles, there seems to be a somewhat limited representation of Christian babes in pop culture. Christian women are frequently power-brokers with a lot of sway with lawmakers and civic leaders, but it seems (again, according to pop culture) that Christian women aren't the sex symbols that their opponents in the liberal/secular/devil worshipping sects. There is no doubt that attractive, and yes, sexy Christian women are out there (why else would there be a market for Christian dating). But the whole sexiness thing seems to run counter to certain Christians beliefs (such as that whole "lust is a deadly sin" thing). Let's see about who the best Christian babes are these days...

Looking For Lesbian Dating Sites
As anybody who's ever taken a glance at our website before knows, the niche dating sites are rapidly changing the whole landscape of the singles scene. It used to be that singles bars covered all the bases - every conceivable category of singledom probably had a bar/club/restaurant somewhere. Now the online equivalents are coming up and letting a lot of people who had no interest in setting foot in a typical meat market connect with fun, exciting singles on the interweb. The GLBT community has really taken to this new phenomenon, and the possibilities for online encounters are incredibly diverse. Lesbian dating sites are just as prevalent as their gay equivalents, and there's a whole lot of variety to choose from when exploring the online lesbian dating scene.

A Guy's Perspective on Women's Accessories
Women love accessories — purses, earrings, belts, and, most of all, shoes. But I think they've got it all wrong. These aren't the accessories that will impress a guy, well, unless he's gay (but in that case he's more interested in how your stilettos will look on him than how they look on you). So, let me give you a guy's perspective on women's accessories that are sure to draw attention to yourself.

Sweet Gay Guys Like It Slow
So I'm supposed to write about how to date a sweet gay guy. Does such a thing exist? Maybe I'm too jaded. Okay, let me take a deep breath and remember the wise words of gay dating advice from a great fag hag I know. "When you meet someone new, forget everything who know and everything you've experienced and start completely fresh with that person." In other words, don't pile your old baggage on the new guy. He may very well be the sweet guy you've always been looking for.

I Like Big Booty BBW
Whenever I think about big booty BBW (BBW singles), I can't help myself from remembering that hit song from the summer of '92. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Sir Mix-a-lot's "Baby Got Back." Fifteen years later, this song has been kept alive through references in pop culture sources such as movies like Charlie's Angels and Jackass and TV shows like Friends and The Simpsons.

Finding Jewish Men With 'Jewdar'
One of my female friends is looking for love. I know I'm her friend so you probably think I'm biased. Trust me though, she's such a cutie, not to mention that she's got her feet on the ground, which gives her the kind of confidence that everyone finds attractive. There's just one thing: she's Jewish and she's only into Jewish men. So I'm out, but that also gives me the special privilege of being entertained by her Jewish dating anecdotes.

The Key to a Self Help Relationship
I'm warning you right off the bat that this is not going to be your typical dating blog entry. I'm sure the idea behind a self help relationship is to write about matchmaking or share thoughts on maintaining healthy relationships, not ending them. However, it's difficult to pretend I'm the relationship guru you hope to find at the reigns of a dating blog as I'm approaching the end of a relationship in my own life. Still, I think you can learn something from my current situation before you start filling out those dating personals ads.

Spontaneity And A Senior Woman
Okay, I admit I'm not a senior. I'm not even close so what do I know about senior dating? Well, I think I can teach the older generation a thing or to about what a senior woman wants. It's easy. All I have to do is think about my mom, who is a true romantic at heart. Unfortunately for her, my dad is the typical manly man. I don't think he's given her flowers in the entire time they've been married. He must have something going for him since they've been together for almost 40 years, but romance isn't the secret to his charm.

Love Is A Battlefield
At least, according to the Pat Benatar song, I'm always vacillating between believing romance takes work and if you stop looking for it, it will simply come your way. As you know by now, I spend loads of time soul searching. It's seldom about meeting the one, but becoming the one for myself. I always figure, if I can just get my act together on my own, the romance will follow naturally.

Fit Girls Gone Wild
In the book Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe identifies the creatures known in Manhattan as "the social x-rays". A social x-ray is the modern (well, at least 1980s) version of the socialite, a Fifth (or Park) Avenue woman, inevitably married, and along with the expected immaculate outfits is the fanatical obsession with exercise. These are fit girls gone wild - women that have starved themselves in addition to working themselves over in the gym and yoga class. With skin stretched across high cheek bones and a collarbone region that resembles a set of bike handles, these ridiculously fit women give the rest of the physically active world a bad name. Fitness dating sites don't typically have too many these aerobicides, but the bad apples almost always give the rest of the barrel a bad rap.

Searching For Interracial Relationships
We certainly have advanced as a culture. Imagine, only sixty years it was actually illegal for mixed race couples to appear on screen in Hollywood films. Heck even segregated schools were all the rage as late as the fifties. Interracial relationships are considered part and parcel of our more enlightened, culturally diverse society. It isn't that people are specifically looking to break down the barrier between cultures (although there are a number of people who do in fact seek that out) - it's more a case of cultural differences no longer seeming like the huge impediment it was fifty or sixty years ago. Interracial dating is just one aspect of how an entire society has gone from being a melting pot and transforming into mosaic.

The Right Latin Dating Service
We're assaulted by a colossal amount of choices these days. When you're confronted by the sheer amount of variety in the online dating world alone, it can seem difficult to pare down the number of options. It's almost weird to make these complaints - when is too much freedom a bad thing? (yes, I'm aware of Lord of The Flies, soccer riot looting, and other examples of anarchy run amok - don't bother pointing that out). At least with the Latin dating service scene, you've already cut out a huge amount of dead weight from your dating menu. When you start hitting Latin dating sites, you've just narrowed the field down to a few million choices - so simple!

Sweet Deaf Guys
I knew a non-deaf person who dated a person with a hearing impediment. There's nothing terribly unusual about that of course - it would hardly be noteworthy, but it was still funny to observe the fact that this couple enjoyed better communication than most couples who enjoy full hearing faculties. There was a deep bond between my friend and her hearing impaired boyfriend that transcended the differing abilities - it's not like Friend X was surfing deaf dating sites to pick up sweet deaf guys. It was breathtaking watching the courtship between these two however - love doesn't necessarily need words to express itself.

Looking For Those Pretty Muslims
The Internet has shrunk this world down to size. This seems a little dizzying at times - I know that when I fly across this continent or keep up communication with people on opposing sides of North America, I have this weird vertigo feeling, as if flying three thousand miles is the equivalent of going on a longish road trip. International communities, including the Muslim world, now have access to dating potential that was hitherto unimaginable. There is no need to let little details like "oceans" and "ten thousand mile distances" interfere with pretty Muslims who are looking to enhance their dating choices. Muslim dating has experienced a surge in popularity in recent years (well, along with virtually every other ethnic category that you can think of).

Brunch with a Mature Latin Woman
I think I mentioned in my last blog that I was supposed to be setup with a friend-of-a-friend. It seems that I am losing my mojo and everyone is treating me as if I'm less hot than I used to be. I knew I wouldn't meet the one that night, but was surprised to see what was considered a possibility. Nevertheless, I did have brunch with an older Latina I met during vacation, which has convinced me to check out our Latin dating sites.

Is The Word BBW Sexy?
I've always hated buzz words. Whenever I hear a new buzzword, I can't help but feel that it shortens words or phrases that don't need shortening, thereby dumbing down the English language. Maybe we just live in the world of short attention spans, and our language reflects that. BBW is one of those buzz-words/acronyms that give me a headache. Big Beautiful Women is a nice phrase; it gets the message across without being overbearing. BBW makes me think of some Eastern European budget car producers. It's not like Cupids' Reviews is above criticism either - we have an entire section devoted to BBW dating. But is the phrase BBW sexy? Is it acceptable shorthand, or does it actually insult the people that it refers to?

In Praise Of Rebound Relationships
Let's face facts - being dumped sucks. Actually, an end to a relationship sucks in general, and not just for the dumped. Piles of books and articles have been written about this painful little inevitability, and I'd be beating a dead horse if I was to go into the same ol' "getting over the relationship" spiel. However, I think one of the key methods of getting over a relationship isn't mentioned enough - I'm talking rebound relationships. Yes, there's nothing like bouncing from one intense emotional experience and into the arms of someone waiting in the wings. Sarcasm aside, people automatically judge rebound relationships as being risky business, but I disagree. If you're looking to get the taste of a bad relationship out of your mouth, why not wash those hurt feelings away and have a good time while you're at it?
