Don't think all those tagged photos, flirty wall posts and ominous status updates go unnoticed.
We were just thinking the other day how relieved we are that Facebook was just a twinkle in Mark Zuckerberg's eye when we were in high school. Read: Facebook Group: I Need Sex
We aren't entirely sure our fragile, angsty hearts could've handled the rush of photos, wall posts and status updates advertising the whereabouts and canoodlings of our various crushes. The gossipy hallways and yearbook inscriptions were about all we could take. Thanks.
So it came as no surprise when we read that a study of 300 college students revealed that Facebook incites a significant amount … Read More

Reading Patti Stanger's book and putting the matchmaker's dating advice to the test.
When it came to my dating life, I wasn't sure I should listen to Patti Stanger, host of Bravo's The Millionaire Matchmaker and author of the book Become Your Own Matchmaker: 8 Easy Steps for Attracting Your Perfect Mate. Could someone hoisting a gold, ruby-encrusted Cupid's arrow on her book cover, whose ample bosom was jammed into a white Liberace pantsuit, help me, an outdoorsy New Yorker with an A cup seeking a sweet, humble, non-cologne wearing guy with no roommates?
I was doubtful. But as an early thirties lady swinging and missing on the New York … Read More
Is chivalry dead? Or has it just changed shape? One man weights in.
When I'm feeling jaded I can't help but agree with Dave Chappelle's assessment that chivalry is dead—and women killed it. Don't get me wrong, I honestly enjoy opening the door, picking up the check and planning dates (OK, planning dates can get a little old). But what really makes me nervous are all of the obscure rules, most of which seem a little antiquated to me. Por ejemplo:
- Standing up when you leave the table. This just increases the odds that I'll bump into something and spill your drink. Do you want that?
- Pulling out your chair. Maybe in … Read More
YourTango's "Facebook Manners And You" video has become a viral hit, so we thought we'd tell you a little bit about how we made it. Styled as a 1950s-era instructional film, the video chronicles the rule-breaking breakup of Timmy Gordon and Alice Johnson on Facebook, the "electric friendship generator." These two completely ignore Facebook etiquette, and boy do they ever pay the price!
Watch Facebook Manners And You
Since we released the video, curious fans have wondered where we found old footage and how we digitally inserted Alice into the scene. In fact, we created it from scratch, … Read More

The Facebook legend introduces his new column.
Dear Sirs and Madams:
By the looks of it, there is a propaganda campaign against yours truly on the informative super-freeway. The conspiracy has maligned my character and made it almost impossible to get anyone up to Lookout Point. Plus the guys at work have been razzing me non-stop. Please watch the TV show below and tell me if anything I did was really worth the hubbub:
About as funny as a screen door on a submarine, right? But has anyone thought about my feelings? I admitted that what I did was "L7" all the way and said … Read More
Everyone differs in how they want their name to appear on an envelope or invitation.
A couple weeks ago I addressed the issue of a woman changing her name when she marries. I expressed that although I don't plan to change my name when I get hitched this summer, I respect and appreciate every woman's right to choose what's best for her. I reject the notion some have expressed that when a woman takes her husband's last name she's giving up her identity. But then I had an interesting conversation with my mother recently that added a whole new layer to this name and identity dichotomy. I've been working on wedding invitations … Read More
