He is reportedly not perfect! We are aghast.
George Clooney, the coolest man in the world, says that his life of jet planes and blockbuster movies and beautiful women isn't always completely awesome. We clutch our pearls and shriek our grief. "I've had some absolutely great relationships and some not so great relationships," George tells the UK's Mirror newspaper. "I've been in some relationships where I've felt terribly alone. Just because you're with someone, it doesn't mean you're incredibly happy and complete."
George has lately been squiring Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis around the world to his various premieres and festivals (the poor man has three whole … Read More

Hint: He's right under your nose and number one on your speed-dial.
Women always seem to ask me where all the good men are, as if these near-mythical dudes are hiding behind bushes, chained up in some vampire's basement, or are just rare and elusive, like the snow leopard. Normally, I have to resist responding, "Maybe the good guys are just avoiding you." But the answer to this frequent, lovelorn lament is simple: The good men are right under your $#@% nose. And that's the damn truth. The Frisky: 5 Ways Women Try To Impress Men (And Why They Don't Work)
That's right, ladies. The good men you pine for are … Read More

When dating online, you have the opportunity to meet more people than you normally would. It is a numbers game and you must assume that who ever you are meeting is also encountering multiple possibilities. Memorize the letters ECEG. They stand for Easy Come, Easy Go. Mentally tattoo this all-important acronym on your heart. You will likely never know why you might experience a groove kill, and you must learn to take it in stride. The best way to do this is to always have potentials in your queue. The best way to have potentials in your queue is to … Read More
Romance 101 courtesy of Dunder-Mifflin.
Over the years, NBC's comedy The Office has contributed much to pop culture and office morale, popularizing "that's what she said" jokes, introducing the encasing of desk supplies in JELL-O and giving a whole new meaning to office antics. But while we were guffawing at Dwight's quirks and cringing at Michael's horrifyingly gauche comments, we were also watching one of TV's most long-awaited courtships unfold, courtesy of Pam and Jim. And let's not forget Michael and Dwight's own dysfunctional pairings since the series' 2005 debut.
Frankly, there are a number of love lessons to be gleaned from the employees at … Read More
Theories on man's strange, recurring attraction to mentally unhinged females.
Glamour blogger Shallon Lester brought to our attention a widespread problem plaguing our menfolk: guys seem to really dig crazy chicks. Yes Shallon, I have noticed this, too. But in the post, she gives only a few half-hearted explanations: "Personally, I think guys secretly like the drama. Maybe it makes them feel alive or brings some action to their otherwise dull lives. Or, perhaps it reminds them of the chaos of their own family life as a child (wow, how Dr. Phil am I today?) Or, they could just be weak guys who like being dominated and repressed." [Read More

Why are unavailable men so attractive? [College Candy]
I like to consider myself an intelligent, rational person. But what I will never get is why a person becomes 10 billion more times appealing to me when they don't want me. The day after our date, I was actually dreading the dude calling me…I didn't want to spend a second evening with the most egotistical person since Read More

Serial monogamy: dating with no breaks between relationships. Why is it becoming more common?
We all know at least one person who always has a significant other, even immediately after a breakup. Lately I’ve noticed that serial monogamy—leaping from one exclusive relationship to the next—has become a more popular and accepted dating trend among my friends and acquaintances. Why?
According to Psychology Today, serial monogamists usually believe in some kind of ideal love and in the importance of commitment to one partner, but keep a safe distance from the idea that true love should happen only once in a lifetime. Why chain ourselves to one Prince Charming when we can find a new one as … Read More
