It is possible to share too much.

That's according to an article on the Wall Street Journal's website. And if you didn't believe the article, reading the comments by wsj.com readers is great proof.

Now, our first thought is, "Really? This was the chosen path?" … Read More

We hope that there is some kernel of truth in this; it's too fantastic not to be true. Evidently, there are a few rules to dating Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. Evidently, the list is equal parts how-to and Magna Carta for women dating a dotcom dude.

The Wall Street Journal Blog reports that there some simple rules for dating this teenage billionaire. While we have neither ability nor the inclination to run through the list, one of the things that Priscilla Chan (Zuckerberg's ladysmith) is entitled to, as girlf of the anointed one, is 100 minutes of dating … Read More

The prevalence of blazers, vests and belted dress shirts on the streets and in stores might be more than a passing trend, according to The Wall Street Journal yesterday.

For "The Boyfriend Jacket Comes on Strong", the writer interviewed fashion historians and others in the "sew," to explore the social significance of women sporting menswear.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 33% of wives outearned their husbands in 2005, and the amount of males receiving alimony payments increased 50 percent from 2001 to 2006.

Forget your credit cards. What the latest rash of identity thieves is after is your clever turn-of-phrase. According to a recent feature in the Wall Street Journal, cut-and-paste personalities—in which the dull and ordinary crib anything from crafty headlines to entire profiles from the unsuspecting and witty—is the new black market.

But cheaters never prosper, and their odds of getting laid aren't looking too good either. Consider the brainiac who borrowed the phrase, "I write award-winning operas" for his own dating profile. Only, halfway through their first cocktail, his date realized he wouldn't know Pavarotti from a Pinot, and … Read More

The WSJ.com (that’s Wall Street Journal, investors) has an online section called ‘The Juggle.’ ‘The Juggle’ refers to juggling a work-life balance. At any rate, today’s Juggle is about meeting someone.

Michael Hickey knows better than to try to start a conversation with his wife when she gets home from work.

After a hard day at the office, "I'm definitely too tired to talk at night," says Karen Ambrose Hickey of Palo Alto, Calif., a senior marketing director. "I put up a brick wall." Michael, an engineer, says he's resigned: Regardless of what's on his mind when Karen comes home, he says, "you just have to wait" until later. Finding time to talk is "an ongoing struggle."
