A New York Times writer divides males into "guys" and "men." We wonder if it's so simple.
New York Times' recent Modern Love column—"Forget the Men, Pick a Guy"—explores a quandary many of us ladies face in the post-collegiate dating scene.
Do we date Door no. 1, the fun (if not entirely responsible) guy. Or Door no. 2, the settled, respectable (if not a bit boring) man. Dating A Rich Guy: More Important Than You Think
Exciting guy. Dull man. That is the question? Really? Is it that black and white? We don't think so, but writer Catherine Calbert certainly does and tells us within the first sentence which she Read More

Interview: the authors of "Smart Girls Marry Money," say money is more important than love.
While you may know that love usually doesn't come with a guaranteed fairy-tale ending, you probably are still holding out for, or trying to have your marriage live up to, the idea of truly passionate and romantic love. Elizabeth Ford and Daniela Drake, M.D., authors of the new release Smart Girls Marry Money: How Women Have Been Duped Into the Romantic Dream -- And How They're Paying For It, are here to change your mind, or at least tell you why "happily ever after" hasn't quite happened to them.

Celebrity priest caught kissing girlfriend appears on morning show. Watch it here!
Stubborn love can drive a wedge between a man's competing passions, forcing him to make torturous decisions. As the old adage goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. In this case, you can't marry the woman you long for and remain a priest in the Roman Catholic church. That's the thorny predicament in which Miami-based celebrity priest, Father Alberto Cutie , finds himself as YourTango told you on March 7.
After snapshots of Father Cutie canoodling with a woman in the Florida sands surfaced, Cutie was relieved of priestly duties at his Miami Beach parish, … Read More
Dating a prisoner might not be such a bad idea.
After checking out ConjugalHarmony.com, a mock online dating site feigning to connect prisoners with those on the outside, we gave the convict-dating phenomenon some closer inspection. The result? There are clearly a bunch of reaons not to date a man behind bars (enforced long-distance relationship, depression at his non-voter status in certain states... him being a CONVICT), but there are also some potential perks. Check them out.
1. If/when he gets out, he'll be an expert at doing laundry.
2. He'll likely have buff prison muscles.
3. He'll never leave his socks on the floor or the toothpaste uncapped.
4. … Read More
What factors play into a man's decision to get married? Love? Money? Children? Our panel of five guys discuss their views.
With the help of this cleric, 2,000 couples met and wed.
As I was flipping channels, I landed on a real-life love story of sorts. It was a segment about young Iranians who were finding their spouses with the help of a hip-looking, bearded matchmaker clad in a turban and robe.
It all began when a cleric in Iran helped turn a student's crush on a peer into his first love match. Ten years later, Jafar Ardabili has successfully matched more than 2,000 couples in marriage without one divorce, reports Reza Sayeh for CNN. That's quite an impressive track record: Could Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker top that?
With his wife, Ardabili founded the Amin International Family … Read More
Buying advertising time during the Super Bowl for most-viewed personal ad ever.
A former New York advertising exec is raising money with the hope of buying ad time to promote her search for a husband during this season's Super Bowl.
Amy Borkowsky, who lists her age as "somewhere between Carrie and Samantha," is looking for Mr. Right, and what better way to reach a large pool of potential mates than during the XY's must-see televised event? She's been campaigning on her website SuperBowlSingleGirl.com hoping to raise approximately $3 million for the ad spot. Borkowsky has so far raised a mere thousand dollars and only a few open commercial slots remain, … Read More
Beyoncé's new song "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" sends a mixed message.
Beyoncé's new single, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," features lyrics imploring men to "put a ring on it" but "Don’t treat me like things of this world/I’m not that kind of girl."
Well, color me confused. Which is it? You don't want to be objectified, but you do need to be adorned and are OK being referred to as an "it"? Despite an odd video (what's with the robot-like glove on her left hand?), this song does hit on some good relationship themes, but ultimately sends men—if they're taking B's words to heart—a mixed message.
The song … Read More
JLo renews wedding vows with Marc Anthony.
They say fourth time's a charm for always-a-bride Jennifer Lopez. Her former husbands Ojani Noa (one) and Cris Judd (two) would know. Jenny's current husband Marc Anthony can now claim third and fourth place, since the couple renewed their vows last weekend, according to People magazine.
JLo clearly takes the cake for most marriages, but Marc, serial vow-renewer, seems to be breaking records himself. He and his first wife of four years, former Miss Universe Dayanara Delgado, also renewed their wedding vows in December of 2002. Their divorce was soon to follow in 2004. Four days after it was finalized, Jen and … Read More
