Now for a lighter look at dating, here are some very funny London Business Review personal ads that a client sent me the other day.  The principle idea is that the LBR readership is too sophisticated and filled with ennui to trot out the usual walks on the beach and sunsets rubbish, hysterical:

• I celebrated my fortieth birthday last week by cataloguing my collection of bird feeders. Next year I’m hoping for sexual intercourse. And a cake. Join my invite mailing list at box no. 6831. Man

during the week I asked a few questions about online dating sites from people on Aardvark and got some pretty negative responses.  Aardvark is a great site where you can ask questions about anything & get responses either by email or IM.  Its fun & a great way to have conversations, much as I love Twitter, I dont always get responses to questions on Twitter, possibly everyone is too busy trying to sell themselves or something?  After the responses I received, I decided to write a post about whats wrong with online dating sites because it seems they are not listening.  Has that got something to do with the fact that the majority are run by men????

A friend gave me a copy of ‘Why Men Love Bitches’ to read this week. It is a great book for WOMEN! It propounds, in its own way, my own belief that women have better relationships with men when they develop themselves and become confident and assured in their own lives. Women are very interested in bettering their relationships and often have read, studied and spoken with other women about relationships with men frequently in their lives. It’s sort of like preaching to the converted!
