A slight hitch

When writing all the “horror stories” about online dating* the authors (whoever they are, it is not immediately apparent from the header) did not anticipate one little thing: one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I was reading about all those pretentious/repulsive/gross in personal habits/”strange”, in authors’ parlance, dates until I came down to the [...]

Noble gentlemen vs. “brainless nazi bitches”*

Catastrophe with the cruiser Costa Concordia and indecent behavior of it senior crew triggered series of flame wars in surrounding blogosphere on the topic of …”feminism”. – Huh? – But don’t you see?  It’s the feminists’ fault that some of the men-passengers and a big part of senior members of the crew ran to save [...]

ADR’ bleg

Yes, from me. Not only I admit this is a subject I am completely ignorant in but I am asking for assistance. A rare combo in these parts, I’m sure you would agree. The subject is American Dating Rules, further called ADR. Pre-history: my ideas of a proper etiquette of a meeting dance a) hopelessly [...]

[B]anality

                   once bodily fluids become jewelry for a chick, anal is actively ruled in.* That reminds me of a question I once had, seeing all that mentioning of assumed superiority of anal sex: if you guys enjoy and value it so much, what do you need us women for? you can get your fill  in [...]

Свет истины, внезапно

Я – шестая дочь лесного царя. По Андерсену. Но шестая ни за что не хотела показаться [на глаза потенциальным женихам-ETat]. – Я только и умею, что говорить правду в глаза, – твердила она, – а этого никто не любит. Уж лучше буду шить себе саван. I am the 6th daughter of the Elf King! Per [...]
