Yesterday, GeekWire cited a post from a local tech guy, who contended that Amazon and the gender imbalance in tech is a major reason dating in Seattle sucks. Predictably, I think there’s MUCH more to the story here! I was happy to provide a rebuttal as a guest post, which ran today. Check ‘er out! We all know that the …
Another math/data genius who “hacked” online dating
Remember a few months back, when Amy Webb’s TED Talk about how she hacked online dating went viral? Well I sure do; I still get tons of clients from my analysis of her strategy. And now we’ve got this Wired article about a mathematician dude who “hacked” OkCupid over the course of several years. You can’t blame me for analyzing …
Here, have some water.
A well-meaning friend recently asked me a few pragmatic questions about hosting clients in my home office. The exchange went something like this: C: “So, what’s it like when you have a client to your house? Do you clean first?” Me: “Yeah, but only the main living room, since that’s what they see when they walk in. I take them …
“Big Dick” and “I wanna make sex up on you”
Yeah, I just named my post that, and I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing the search engine queries and spam comments that result. Without further ado: to the content! I hope y’all all had an awesome Labor Day weekend! Grant and I had a most excellent time, especially since we got Friday off too. But we did have one extremely …
Going dark
Ugh, I *hate* when life gets in the way of my normal communication and business patterns, ya know? Like when you’re trapped at a boring conference with lots of down time and no Wi-Fi. 🙂 I’ve been in recovery (aka sleeping a lot, idly web browsing while zonked out on painkillers, and Netflix binging in bed) for the past week …
You have to go on a LOT of dates
Mallory Schlossberg wrote a great post over at TheFrisky about her hot-and-cold relationship with OKCupid. She cracks me up! She complains about how she’s on again and off again with the service, partly because she kind of overloads herself with millions of dates and then finds something wrong with each and every one. But after a few rounds of doing …
Be specific!
I’ve been watching a lot of streaming TV on my iPad ever since I inherited it from Grant, and there’s this one eHarmony ad spot that keeps playing over and over. (I can’t find a link, so please comment if you can.) It’s with a tall blonde gal named Briana, and she says she’s looking for “a deep relationship” with …
Offline connections with online dating peeps
A few months ago I was unloading some empty boxes to a couple who also worked at Amazon and was about to move. We all carpooled to my house after work, and it came up in conversation that I was an online dating consultant. The gal was like, “Oh really!? I’m friends with the guy who founded Cupidtino!” That totally …
Sexy home office AND wedding pics!
Man, I know I’m overdue with a Loveb.log post these days—for shame! It’s crazy that we’ve now lived in our gorgeous new home for over a year, yet I’ve never mentioned my home office or posted any pics. Clients! This is important! We no longer have to meet at a Starbucks where every other patron’s ears are burning with questions …
Please stay safe, daters!
A couple recent security issues have cropped up — enough to remind me to beg all you online daters to stay safe and sound! Recently, Gawker Media’s entire username and password database was compromised. So please, be prudent and switch up your passwords for all of your email accounts and online dating sites (as well as all the other big …
