Valentine’s day doesn’t mean that you have to do the following:  Show up with a dozen roses, and a heart...

If you’ve watched even one episode of Family Guy, then you probably know who Quagmire is. In an episode from season 10, entitled “Meg & Quagmire“, Meg  turns 18 and Quagmire tries to date her. I’m not really sure of his exact age in the show, but he is obviously as old as her Dad,...

There is a common saying that “all the good guys are taken, married, or gay”. I’m sure you’ve heard it. I probably hear it about once a week from friends, around NYC, or even from myself. However, I like to think that the saying isn’t wholly true, rather that, single guys just aren’t ‘showing off’...

We all know that looks are pretty important. I don’t mean that in a shallow way, it’s just science. ‘Chemistry ‘, if you will. We are each attracted to different types of people that look a certain way, whether we understand why or what those types are or not. We are animals after all. Physical attraction...
