Singles
and Doubles returns
with a bi-monthly report on all things dating and the state
of matrimonial mating. Read on…
 Mighty
fine wine…and crowd
at the wine tasting event I attended earlier this month
hosted by Matchlive.com
at Bacchus
& Venus in trendy downtown Sausalito. Singles mingled
and sipped varietals from several boutique California vineyards
in the beautiful two level tasting room and art gallery
overlooking the San Francisco Bay and harbor. An encore
event is planned for later this month. (See details below).
Attendees of the VIPLineUp.com “Basic Training” wine course,
take it to the next level and ask to hold the new Riedel
“O” wine tumbler, the new stem less sensation in tasting
enjoyment!
 Dating
doggy style?
Yes, man's best friend can lead you to the man or
woman of your dreams at DateMyPet.com. Come out for Doggie
Play Day, just one of the events listed on the site where
your golden lab can introduce you to the owner of that sleek
greyhound across the park. DateMyPet.com
was created by software consultant Robert Yau, who's
geek-meets-animal-lover persona inspired the site. You d on't
have to own a pet to join but please be an animal lover and
memberships are free during their beta trial. Is this another
case of who let the dog out? Woof! Woof!
The
New and Improved Trophy Wife.
Today, the new power couple resides not in Hollywood
but on Wall Street. “Peer Marriage”, a new trend in mating,
sees couples tending to marry people like themselves. More
and more high achieving men seek marriage to alpha females,
women who can hold their own in the bedroom and the boardroom.
A recent Match.com poll revealed that 48 percent of men
(and an equal percentage of women) report dating partners
who make as much money they do. Henry Kissinger said it
first: Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
The
rise of the “power bride” comes as a response to many societal
shifts. Blame it on the economy, the lessening desire of
men to shoulder the dual burdens of breadwinner and being
the sole family decision maker like their fathers before
them. The 21 st century male is redefining his masculinity
beyond his earning capacity. In fact, when Scott South,
a sociologist at the University at Albany, State University
of New York, researched the characteristics most desirable
to black and white men ages 19 to 35 in a mate, he discovered
that a woman's ability to hold a steady job mattered more
than her age, previous marriages, maternal status, religion
or race. A smart move since w omen are starting to outnumber
men in colleges and graduate schools around the country.
Finally female success is sexy!
Love
your way to better health.
That's what a study conducted by online dating
service Udate.co.uk found. Men and women pursuing the opposite
sex were more likely to be healthier than their non-dating
counterparts. Why? Our desire to attract the opposite sex
keeps us at the gym, inspires us to find our bliss at work
and to engage in makeover madness at home. “The anticipation
of a date will also produce a ‘cocktail' of ‘happy hormones',
endorphins,” relationship coach Salma Shah is quoted as
saying in the British press. Sounds sexier than a Cosmopolitan!
Remember
that imaginary playmate you had as kid?
An imaginary girlfriend is exactly that for your
grownup self. No kidding! At www.imaginarygirlfriends.com
, a real life girl will pretend to
be your long distance girlfriend by sending you personalized
letters, emails, and pictures, and leave the occasional
voice mail. Tired of being told to get a girlfriend, need
to make someone jealous or just don't have an active fantasy
life? Boost your confidence but not your social life – this
is strictly faux friendship. There is no live contact, just
pen pals for a price!
