10 Plausible Reasons Why You Ignored My Email Last Night

10 Plausible Reasons Why You Ignored My Email Last Night

Will he ever respond?

by Panty Parade / Off Go the Panties Drunken dialing while stone, cold sober may sound like an anomaly, but I assure you, it does occur. The moments when I’m all alone and wishing I was not and trying to make the best of the situation with my moist fingers or vibrating toy sneak up and take hold. I get it in my head that it’s a good idea to reach out to a lover or friend to see if he could come over. Maybe we could hang out and drink a few beers?

This is Your Wake-up Call (Or, Story of the Disappointing Penis)

This is Your Wake-up Call (Or, Story of the Disappointing Penis)

There's something enticing about hitting on men when you're on a date . . .

by Panty Parade / Off Go the Panties Waking up disoriented in a strange hotel room sounds like the beginnings of an urban legend. Maybe it was because I hadn’t had all that much to drink the night before OR maybe because my dog was there beside me OR maybe because my host had left hours earlier—but I did not find WELCOME TO AIDS scrawled in lipstick on the bathroom mirror or a stranger soaking in an ice-filled bathtub with a recently removed kidney. I did find a few spent condoms in the trash.

Strange Brew:  The Craigslist Personals

Strange Brew: The Craigslist Personals

I was more than a little surprised how things turned out when I responded to a few CL personal ads

  If you ever find yourself completely bored AND horny AND without a date on a night when you REALLY want a date . . . . Then I sort of recommend checking out the Craigslist personals. Mind you, this is not a full fledge referral. In fact, based on my recent experience with answering a dozen advertisements on CL, I would have to say I’m only mildly lukewarm, half-heartedly encouraging you to try it. Want to know why? Because the men there are not really looking for what they say they want. I know—confused men on the Internet?—surprise!

lottery ticket
There's no ticket for this game!

Relationship Fail: Win The Lotto ... And The Prize Is Me!

The odds of this lottery are definitely in your favor. But, do you WANT to win?

We bought our first lottery ticket a few months ago when the jackpot was close to $315 million. We won two dollars. It was disappointing, as the lottery usually is – you start to fantasize about what you would do with that much money, but in the back of your head you know your chances are impossibly slim. Not so with this lottery!

departure sign airport
Are you, ahem, coming or going?

Relationship Fail: Let's Have Frequent Flyer Sex At The Airport

What traveler can resist this perk? Um... we can, and very easily.

Airports are awful these days. They're crowded with people who aren't sure where they need to go and don't understand that you need to take your shoes off while going through security. And don't even get us started on the creepy pat-downs from complete strangers who get to do so because they're wearing uniforms...

man with question mark
"Hmm, this is a tough one."

Relationship Fail: Are You Hotter Than My Wife?

Take this quiz to find out, and then I may or may not cheat on her with you.

Gone are the days when you had to take pop quizzes and standardized tests, and you couldn't be happier. The last time you remember using a pencil to fill in a little circle on paper was when you asserted that yes, you are over 18 and (unlike the tanning mom's daughter) old enough to use a tanning bed.

woman's cleavage
"Is that too much to ask?"

Relationship Fail: Can I Play With Your Boobs?

Women in San Diego are going to be hard-pressed to find a reason to turn this guy down!

San Diego reminds us of California sun, sand and surf. From now on, it will also remind us of weed and boobs.

teddy bear in bed
We can snuggle wuggle all night long...

Relationship Fail: Won't You Be My Teddy Bear?

Let's face it: you're not looking for a man. You're looking for a soft, plush inanimate object!

Question: What's cute, cuddly and a little round in the middle? Answer: A teddy bear. Also, your future boyfriend... if that's what you're looking for!

man winking with scarf
C'mon, you can't resist this offer!

Relationship Fail: I Want To Cheat On My Wife With You

Because bored married men deserve two for the price of one, right?

Something tells us if you're looking to cheat without getting caught, you tread carefully. You don't shout it from the rooftops or joke about it with your friends. You also don't explicitly post your intentions on a free, easily accessible website like Craigslist. Well, this guy didn't get the memo.

lazy cow
"Moooooo"

Relationship Fail: Want To Date A "Lazy Cow"?

Something tells us this single lady's milk won't bring any boys to the yard...

Online dating experts are always stressing that you should know how to sell yourself to a potential match. This means listing your best qualities in your profile and posting photos that make you look like a fabulous catch. This does not mean that you should refer to yourself as a "lazy cow."
