Ever wonder if a profile you've seen on your dating site is for real? Maybe the person looks too good to be true.

What do you think of her? Pretty hot, no? She's fit, pretty, and she's got no less than three geeky-awesome items on her. But when the folks at Geeks Are Sexy posted this picture on their Facebook Fan page, the first comment was from a girl mocking the girl in the photo for having a hairy belly. This was followed by folks either saying they didn't see it (or didn't care!), or people (mostly women) having a laugh at the model's expense. Really, people? Girls, Seriously, Grow the Hell … [Read more...]

4 August 2009 by 15 Comments

A lovely reader asked me to write about online dating profiles that are showstoppers.  What makes a showstopper?  Can everyone have one?
