Match.com Mistakes - Part 1

Little Boxes
Silverware and dishes go in the kitchen, clothes and accessories belong in the closet, toiletries reside in the bathroom, and books are kept on the bookshelf.  Everything has its place for a reason.  Ideally, these items all stay right where they belong.  …’Ideally’ being the operative word. As I’m sure you know, keeping your house tidy and organized isn’t as easy as it sounds.  Sometimes you’re in a rush and you leave your shoes by the front door.  Maybe while multi-tasking, you forget where you left that book you were reading.  Perhaps you were too tired to wash the mug from last night’s hot coc

Walking The Walk…
Often times as I’m constructing a new entry for My Vagina Monoblogs, I think to myself…”You know self, you think you’re pretty high and mighty, don’t you?  Hiding behind your lap top, (I’m a PC, by the way, but open-minded enough to give Apple a shot, for anyone so inclined to present me with a MacBook to change my mind,) entertaining the masses with your cutting remarks and witty commentary.”  (As you can see, even when thinking to myself, I take modesty very seriously.)

Tact…Or A Lack Thereof
Occasionally (read: consistently,) I get match.com messages from men who I am not attracted to in any way, shape or form.  Some of them are not altogether unattractive, per se; it’s just that I’m not attracted TO them.  However, some of them are…for the sake of diplomacy, let’s say “aesthetically unappealing.” Now generally, I will simply ignore the message completely.  While this sounds rude, because of the way Match is set up, it actually gives the impression that I may not have read the email at all.  (To clarify, you can create a Match profile for free, but you cannot access your inbox unless you are a paid

Mid-Week Meltdown: Double Standards
This week’s question comes to us from a 30-something woman wondering how to handle an awkward situation. Dear MVM, I’ve had quite a full plate lately, lining up two or three different dates in the same week.  Of course, I’ve been completely transparent and have made these men aware of my non-exclusivity.  Everything’s been going swimmingly until a recent run-in that caught me a bit off guard. I went out with Date #1 early in the week, and we had an incredible time, just as we’d had the previous few times we’d been out.  He was charming, as was I, and t

Steve The Pilot
I’ve been doing a bit of traveling the past month or so, (hence the lack of blogging,) and have a recommendation for anyone with an upcoming trip. One of my favorite places to people watch has always been the airport, for a number of reasons.  Have you ever noticed that almost everyone at the airport thinks their time is more important than anyone else’s time?  (FYI to the obnoxious guy who is sighing loudly behind me while I take off my jacket and shoes at Security: if you’re THAT annoyed, you probably should have sprung the extra $100 for business class to get in on that VIP Security lane.)
