TruTVFebruary 13, 2013 //

If you’re single and ready to mingle, it’s important to know where you can meet other people who are similarly single and ready to mingle. For example, there’s the bar scene, the nightclub dance floor, or the sleepwear section at Wal-Mart. Of course, there are places it’s not so good to meet the love of your life. After all, you may have to recount this story at your wedding with your parents, your true love’s parents, and your 98-year-old grandmother looking on. With that in mind, we’ve got the 10 places you really don’t want to meet someone you may end up shackling yourself to for the rest of your life. Read more…

When I decided to revamp my life according to the principles of Helen Gurley Brown’s Sex and the Single Girl in order to write my memoir Falling For Me, I not only committed to learning to cook, decorate, put myself together and tackle a whole bunch of new activities (ceramics, anyone?) but I also agreed to embrace at least a few of her ideas for meeting men.

Girl Talk: I Love — And Prefer — Going Out By Myself

Tamara LynchJuly 22, 2010 //

As a divorced woman in my 30s, meeting a man wasn’t always a top priority, but when I gradually started dating again, I called in my two wingwomen who were also on the prowl, Dana and Mary, for support. Both of these beautiful 30-somethings have had my back for years. They’ve been my wingwomen in everything from moving into a new apartment to keeping me sane throughout my divorce. I couldn’t have adjusted to single life again without them.

So when Friday night came and I was raring to go out, I called my girls. We put on our heels, stepped up our makeup, and headed to our favorite lounge hoping to meet the men of our dreams. Keep reading »

Quickies!: Kelly Bensimon Should Leave “The Real Housewives”

Annika HarrisApril 28, 2009 //
  • Jill Zarin from “The Real Housewives of New York City” says Kelly Bensimon should leave the show, go back to anonymity, and repair her reputation. [E! Online] — But then who would we have to hate? Ramona, I guess.
  • If you’re not totally sick of Kelly yet, take a tour of her closet — er, series of rooms. [Shine] — I bet she has a whole section for her age-inappropriate mini-dresses, skirts, and shorts. You know, because “legs are the new breasts.”
  • Melissa Rosenberg, who’s writing the screenplay for “Eclipse,” the third film in the “Twilight” saga, wants Channing Tatum to play Riley, a villainous vampire who attacks Bella and the Cullens. [Pop Eater] Yum, yum, yum!

    10 Places NOT To Meet Men

    Annika HarrisDecember 16, 2008 //

    Last night I saw an Alvin Ailey Dance Theater performance. It was spectacular. However, as I looked around during the intermissions I realized this performance was a horrible place to meet a man. Some men seemed to have been dragged to the theater by their wives/girlfriends and the others seemed to be gay. Some people say that to meet a new man you just have to go out, but I think there are some specific places you shouldn’t go to meet any man. Check out 10, after the jump… Keep reading »

    Where To Meet Him: Quiet Parties

    Wendy AtterberryNovember 13, 2008 //

    Yesterday while flipping though my new issue of Time Out New York I spotted a listing in the “Seek” section under the heading “Dating” that made me take pause. It was an announcement for a “Quiet Party,” a singles event where, get this, participants are not allowed to talk (I guess that’s one way to take care of rule #3…). Instead of speaking with each other, party guests are asked to write notes to each other, nonverbally flirt (rule #2!) and buy a minimum of two drinks (“Once this playful foundation mixes with a little alcohol, inhibitions disappear and notes begin to fly,” the website explains.). Hey, as far as I’m concerned, it beats screaming at each other over loud voices and thumping music in some bar. Plus, I’m all for anything that gives writerly word nerds a little edge.

    The Rules To Landing A Man

    Wendy AtterberryNovember 10, 2008 //

    If I had a dime for how many times I’ve heard another woman whine about how she “needs to find a man,” I’d have enough change in my purse to buy a pair of slouchy new Frye boots and a ticket to Barcelona for the holidays. (Seriously, doesn’t that sound like a nice place to spend Christmas day?) But I don’t have a dime for every whine, and since I’m getting kind of tired of listening to it all, I’m going to tell you exactly how to land a man, so we can finally talk about more important things, like whether I should cut my hair like Katie Holmes. Forget that monkey business about not ever calling a guy, and follow the real rules after the jump. Keep reading »
