“Male version of CNN article “How to Avoid Falling in Love”:
1) Only date fat chicks.
2) Date chicks who pay for dinner. In other words, date VERY LITTLE.
End of article.

I’m going to complain to CNN until they stop publishing you pathetic skanks.

Sincerely,
A guy who avoids chlamydia by not having sex with girls like you.”

Honestly, my case of chlamydia is so offended, it’s avoiding YOU. Keep reading »

So your snappy headlines of ’5 types of online losers to avoid’ made it on CNN. Well done! I guess there is big business bashing guys every day, week, month, year, huh? How about writing an article such as ‘How to NOT be a Golddigger or at least perceived as one,’ ‘Being a Bitch, the down side,’ and ‘Being a Slut does not entitle you to access to a guys bank account?’

Wow, someone must have stole a five dollar bill out of your pocket this morning! Bitter much? Anyway, in regards to your articles suggestions — considering the fact that a solid portion of our readers are bitchy gold digging sluts, we would really be doing them a disservice by publishing those kinds of articles. May I suggest you take your pitches to Douchebag Weekly instead? They LOVE that kind of stuff. Keep reading »

“It is doubtful there is a more sexist site on the internet pretending not to be sexist. You not only think little of men but you are ignorant of them as well. All you are really doing is making sure more women end up alone.”

Damn, you’re on to us. A couple weeks ago, we had this BIG meeting to, like, discuss the future of The Frisky, where we were going editorially in 2009, and then I had an idea. Actually, our office man slave had an idea — his name is also “Slave,” such a coincidence, right?! — so I took out his ball gag for a second and gave him permission to speak. He said, “Mistresses, the site should be more man AND woman hating. I mean, you obviously hate men, but why don’t you hate women too, and then it’ll be equal opportunity sexism, which, in a way, isn’t sexist at all, and then everyone will be confused. It’ll be great for traffic!” Then I shoved the gag back in his mouth and made him give me a foot rub, while I chatted with the guys on my IM and pretended to care. Also, what’s so bad about being alone? You save tons of money on toilet paper. Keep reading »

“Your recent article entitled ‘Eight Signs Your Man May Be Depressed’ sounds more like advice to females concerning their depressed pet dog rather than male spouse. Since it also appears your website encourages consulting the Astro Guide for marital and dating guidance, rather than the sound advice of a marriage counselor, pastor, priest, or rabbi, I am suggesting that your editor change the totally worthless and misleading content of your website to one with greater moral substance and sound spiritual counseling.”

Are you talking smack about Yale, American, and George Washington Universities? That’s where writer and licensed clinical psychologist (the one behind the article you mentioned), Dr. Andrea Bonior, got her B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology. But you’re right, her suggestions do work for dogs too. Lucca was super depressed last week because of the holidays (seasonal depression, you know), and I tried some of Dr. Bonior’s advice. This week my girl is doing cartwheels! Keep reading »

“I’m a normal dude who read one of your articles while on the CNN site — wow, is this stuff a big bag of crazy. It’s like ‘that crazy chick I dated in college’ merged with ‘all that is irrelevant.’ Please, do something worthwhile — volunteer, travel, read a book (not about fashion or ‘guys’), or for god-sakes learn accounting.”

Psst, we were that crazy chick you dated in college — guess you were too drunk to remember. Anyhoo, thanks for reminding us — it’s time for The Frisky’s Daily Math Problem!
