"The Social Network;" Women are Powerful

Eager Beaver,

A man's desire for a woman is powerful. And I mean WAY powerful. This desire has brought down churches, businesses, kingdoms and governments for centuries. It's truly shocking when you think about it. Just in the last five years alone we can all quickly think of presidents, politicians, ministers, businessmen, movie stars, musicians, etc who have forsaken their lives and, in most cases, wives, for the sake of desire. A man's desire for a woman has crumbled careers that men spent decades building. I just watched, "The Social Network," last night and my take away from it was, again, that women are amazingly powerful. Mark Zuckerberg supposedly created Facemash, the website that he initially started one drunken night at Harvard to compare all the girls on campus to farm animals, because he was hurt that a girlfriend had broken up with him. While creating this website to humiliate all girls he drunkenly blogged about how the now ex-girlfriend had hurt him, how her boobs didn't measure up etc. Immediately after Facemash crashed Harvard's server, Mark is approached by a group of three guys to start a social website called Harvard Connect because "all girls want to date guys from Harvard."


Of course, the rest is history, he cribbed the idea and created Facebook which in seven short years is worth 50 BILLION dollars! All because of men's desire for women! There's some question as to whether or not there ever was an Erica, the girlfriend, but something happened that caused Mark to create Facemash in the first place and it sounds to me like an insecure man being spurned is probably a good guess. We women get down on ourselves but really men are motivated by one thing in this life and that is getting the girl. We all need to remember that, not give it away like free candy on Halloween.

Hot Mama,

It is SO weird how the world works. I JUST watched this movie this evening with my Mom. We were both completely engrossed in the movie and absolutely loved it. It made me wonder if Mark is such a complete freaking asshole in person, like he is in the movie. My Mom watched an interview with him on Oprah, and I know that there has been a lot of controversy over it, because Mark says that the movie doesn't accurately portray him. He started the Facebook over a girl, he lost his best friend in the entire world, and he didn't even really care about the money! It's just so mind boggling. I wish that he would write a book so I could see into his mind and understand just exactly how it works. And after all of that, I wonder if he is happy now. Now all I have to do is... invent the NEXT Facebook...

Does this ACTUALLY work??

Hot Mama,

So I've left my match.com profile up, even though I haven't been using it very much or responding to very many emails or anything. I just got burnt out of the same old guys, emailing the same old thing. Normally, I attract guys between 25 and 35, a pretty safe age range for me. However, with it being a new year, I thought I would check in on my profile and see if there was anything good going on. And I've gotten a lot of emails recently, one from a 46 year old man. YES, FORTY-SIX. You seriously think that it is okay for you to be emailing me right now??? I've cut some of the email for your amusement...



Hello...
My name is Kenny. What can I say? I saw your photo and I think you're gorgeous, for starters. I'd like to meet you; I wish I was about 10 years younger. I'm not by any means "old" yet, though..lol. I'm kind of a biker from way back; love the hotrods, but I still have some Armani hangin' in the closet and I like clean. Sold the bike in my profile pictures before I left Florida; Haven't bought another yet. I smoke on occasion but I am quitting. Lost my brother in '87, Dad in '95, Step Dad in '96. Mom's remarried; travels the world but broke her hip 6-8 mos. ago; kind what brought me out here. Also starting over. And that is quite enough said about me. Now I want to know EVERYTHING about you.. I would Love to hear from you, Sweetheart.
I'll understand if you don't respond, though.
Hope you are well,
Kenny

Did you seriously just call me "Sweetheart" in your email to me? Like as if you aren't already old enough to be my father, you have the nerve to call me Sweetheart?! I would just be so curious to know if emails and lines like these ever actually work on women. Because, it is definitely not attracting me or turning me on... not even a little bit! I don't know what I am really expecting from the online dating world, and I know you and I have both had mixed experiences. Sometimes, I wonder if I should just remove my profile all together...
-Eager Beaver

Eager Beaver,

OMG! What a freakin' idiot! Really, right now? Like he can't find someone 10 years older or younger than him to "hit" on, if that pathetic freakin' message can be called "hitting" on? I want to barf. It gags me. Newsflash Kenny: that email wouldn't work on a 65 year old! Who wants a chronological list of people from 23 years ago that have died in your life? WTF? What is that supposed to mean even? And, really, do you think a 24 year old gorgeous girl wants to hear that your mother BROKE HER HIP? Classic old person move? Does he need you to nurse her back to health? Oh my God, I can't even stand it, it's soooooooo stupid on so many levels. That being said; you have to stay on for our own amusement and amazement!

Why Are So Many Men on Dating Sites Cheaters?

Eager Beaver,

I don't know what's up with the universe and lying, cheating men. I have two good friends who are both on match.com who have had hideous experiences with men recently. One friend, D, has been seeing a man in Seattle for about three months and another friend, A, has been seeing one for six weeks. Both of them weren't exactly head over heels for the guys but thought that they were nice enough to try to get to know better and give a chance to. Both of my friends are extremely attractive and fit, D is a dishy little blonde in her 50's and A is a hot brunette in her 40's. They're hard-working moms hoping to meet nice, hard-working men. D had a first date with R that went well but on the second date he made some inappropriate comments about women who walked by their table and some references to porn. D addressed these comments immediately and R confessed he was just feeling insecure because D is so beautiful and he didn't feel worthy. She gave him a pass and he never made a stupid comment again and was a gentleman during the time they dated. A, who is a personal trainer, had a very good first date lunch with B, a successful businessman, and he followed up by asking her for a training session, which she agreed to. The training session went well until he "jokingly" asked to see her breasts. A was insulted, let B know it and B apologized profusely and explained that he hadn't meant to disrespect her and that it wouldn't happen again. And it didn't. They continued to see each other and talked on the phone for hours.

D got a phone call today from a very distraught woman who rambled on about the fact that D was seeing a man the woman had been dating for 4 1/2 years. D was confused at first because she thought the woman must have the wrong person, but she finally pieced it together and realized that the entire time R had been lying to her. And in fact this poor woman had actually cleaned his condo for a date he had with D that day! A received a phone call from B who explained that before they went any further (and they'd gone plenty far) that he was still seeing the woman he had left behind in South Carolina but that they had an "understanding." WTF?!!! Why do men do this? Seriously?! All this work for sex? Can't they just hire it? Who raised these men? How can they be so very, very disrespectful of another human being's feelings? Four women were hurt by two men! I want to speak to their mothers and find out how their sons ended up feeling that it was okay to victimize women. Would they be proud to share their stories 'round the family Christmas table? I'm so disgusted. Truly, I am in shock, I feel like men my age should behave much, much better towards women. I mean we were raised in the generation where moms stayed home and everyone held up "Leave it to Beaver" as the example of a happy home. They seem to be no better at all than men 20-30 years younger. What the hell is going on? Is the universe collapsing?
-Hot Mama :(

Oh Hot Mama,

This gives me VERY little hope for my future. I have been trying the whole "online" thing for a couple of months now, and let me tell you, I haven't been that impressed. I feel like you are right and that the guys on these sites are just looking for some action, just like the guys I meet at the bars. I am starting to wonder if maybe all men are just cheaters, and we are all destined to be hurt by them... This isn't a positive way for me to go into the holidays and the New Year, but I just can't help it. Stories like these are all around me! I feel so bad for A and for D. As we always wonder... who is raising these men?!?

Am I a Terrible Person??

Hot Mama,

I am starting to think that maybe I am a terrible person, and maybe karma is what has brought all of the losers into my life. I am trying to stay excited about Mr. Nice Guy, although, I am usually not attracted to nice guys! (I know, what is wrong with me!?!?) Generally, I like guys who are cocky or arrogant, and at the very least self-assured. Well on top of Mr. Nice Guy, I have this friend. He's actually one of my very best friends. So he and I have this really weird relationship, and I know that you and I have talked about it a dozen times, but things are getting more intense. We have dated in the past, but never seriously. Now we are in this super awkward extremely flirtatious place. We see each other at least once a week and have lunch or he will come over and I will cook him dinner. He's really sweet and really funny, he's smart and successful, and good looking. The only problem is, I just don't think I can get past the fact that he has slept with a couple of my friends (like 4-5 years ago). I know it shouldn't bother me and I should be excited that I have this great guy in my life, but I'm just not. I feel like I am just using that as an excuse to keep him at arms length. To top it all off, I know that I am leading him on. I play into all of the flirtatiousness and know that I am a super tease. Tonight he is coming over for dinner and he was all excited... so what did I do? I went ahead and invited his best friend. Yeah... don't think he is so excited anymore. I am trying not to give him the wrong idea, but I'm so confused myself, how could he not be confused?! Thank goodness he has never confronted me about any of this. I don't even know what I would do. It's like I've gotten us to this weird place where we can't move forward or move back.
-Eager "I'm a TERRIBLE Friend" Beaver

Eager Beaver,

You are Miss Mixed Messages! Of course arrogant cocky guys seem more fun because they're more of a challenge while Mr. Nice Guy (stable provider, good family man, faithful husband, etc.) seems boring and predictable. In terms of your "friend," yeah, you're being a little mean. You know perfectly well that he wants to take it to the next level (bed you down) and you just keep flirting with him, drawing him in and then pulling the rug out from under him. He must have a mighty hankering for you to put up with all your mixed messages crap. It's interesting though, I wonder if you guys did finally hook-up if the trail would go cold for him. Hard to tell because you're good friends and sometimes the best relationships ever come from what began as a friendship. I think you're confused because a part of your ego doesn't want him comparing you to your friends (who would?) but that's an inherent part of dating: whether you knew the previous girl he dated or not we always wonder how we measure up to the last woman they were with. Doesn't sound like either of you are in a hurry to end your sexy flirty friendship though (probably because both of you fear it will ruin everything) so there's no rush. If he really wants you, he will make a move and then you'll have to decide whether to take this relationship to the next level. In the mean time, enjoy his attention and having a good guy you can flirt with and promise you'll give your date with Mr. Nice Guy from match.com a chance? Still waters run deep! So deep.

So I Met A Nice Guy...

Hot Mama,

So, it has finally happened... I met a NICE guy. Now, I know what you are thinking: Could this actually be possible? We have spent the last three months discussing all of the guys out there that are less-than-nice, and why not... what evidence do we have to the contrary??? Well I may have to change my opinion about men as a whole (even if it's just a little bit). I had my reservations about the online world from the beginning. As you and I both know, it is easy to paint a picture of who you want to be, rather than who you actually are. You may say you are 6'1" and athletic, charming, handsome, and make over $100,000 a year, when in actuality, you are 5'9" and 250lbs, living in your parents basement and working at McDonalds... I give you most of the credit, Hot Mama, for encouraging me to take a chance on some of these guys and actually meet them. Mr. Nice Guy and I have been emailing for about two weeks. I travel a lot for work, and so does he, so meeting each other in person and coordinating schedules was semi-challenging. We finally determined a day that would work (Saturday night), and I was assuming that he would suggest something standard like coffee or drinks. You know, the usual "safe date." I was pleasantly surprised to get a text message from him the day before with four different options to chose from. SERIOUSLY, FOUR OPTIONS! They ranged from a fun outdoor date to dinner and drinks at a swanky outdoor restaraunt downtown. I was late (whoops), but he was already there when I arrived. He was polite and interesting. He offered to pay for everything, and he paid attention to what I said. It was like being on a date with someone that I already knew. Hot Mama, I think that there MAY be some hope for us after all. Maybe we just have to be patient and weird through all the weirdos and their Frankenstein shoes, to find the nice guys, who will schedule in advance and actually plan a date and not make us do all the work. We have already made plans to go to dinner on Friday, and yes, that is a whole 5 days notice. This is already a refreshing change of pace from the late night texts of Mr. Mixed Messages... I don't want to get too excited because he could still be a typical man, but who knows, maybe Mr. Nice Guy actually exists.
-Eager Beaver

Eager Beaver,

So glad to hear it! After my first couple of bad experiences a month ago I was ready to take down my profile but you convinced me I needed to stay on for awhile. And really I don't know what I was thinking: that Mr. Right was going to suddenly appear after just two weeks online? I mean, I've been alone eight years! Also, I had to hold onto the belief that I couldn't be the only sincere person (in my age group) online. I know that there are women online who're just as into getting laid by a stranger as men are but I'm not one of them and I couldn't believe that every man was just dating online for sex. There are other websites for that. Since then I've met a couple of genuine men and am so relieved to find that our faith in men has proven worth it. That being said, some of my friends are still having to "weed through the weirdoes" as evidenced by the picture of Howdy Doody-with-what-looks-like-a-fake-mustache-living-in-my-parents-basement and, even creepier still, the kissing dolls over his shoulder! Yes, this person actually expressed interest in my friend who is slim, trim and hot!



These are the guys that make you want to scream at the top of your lungs WTF! WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE NORMAL MEN?!!! We don't need JFK, Jr but REALLY? Since I haven't met Mr. Right, I know I'll still have my share of weirdoes to weed through but at least now I know that not all of them will be like this guy. Does he turn the dolls faces towards the wall when he's having sex (if he has sex - really, don't think about it, you'll gag)? Or does he want them to watch and learn? Seriously, who the hell raised this guy?

Do Men Ever Worry About Whether We Have Clean Underwear?

Eager Beaver,

I am nervous. Since we've joined these online dating sites I haven't met anybody that I really care to see again, except for this week I'm seeing one man again (we already had a lunch date) AND I have two other dates lined up and possibly one more. That's FOUR different men! And they all have really good potential. The problem isn't them, it's me. I was home last night pondering if after 8 years I was really ready to have a man around again. I mean I've gotten used to making my own schedule, eating what I want (and what the kids want), seeing my friends when I want, exercising when I want, watching the TV shows I like, no sports on in the house, ever, (not that I hate sports but I'd much rather watch a marathon of "Say Yes to the Dress" and I can!), sunbathing when I want (without looking like a beauty!), traveling wherever I want to go when I want to go, having family over when it's convenient for me (and not worrying about someone else's family), attending my kids sporting events, having the pets I want, buying what I want, buying what the kids want, sleeping alone (no snoring, no jostling, no alarm clock ringing at a different time), etc., etc.
It's been so nice NOT worrying about someone else's laundry, work schedule, golf schedule, family problems, meal preferences, my kid's behavior (always seen differently when someone else is around), my pet's behavior, the cleanliness of my house, the cleanliness of me, their kid's schedule and needs, an ex-wife, their travel preferences, their favorite TV shows, their sleeping habits and patterns, etc. , etc. It just seems like I'll have another child to take care of, a 6'1" 195 pound child who shaves and sits like a lunk on the couch while I scramble trying to get everything done for the family just like I do now. I mean, do men EVER drive home from work and wonder if they need to do laundry because we might be out of clean underwear or socks? NO! HELP! After all this time I can't see the upside (aside from SEX!) for having a man around. Can you see even ONE upside?
-Hot Mama Not Ready for a Man

Hot Mama,

It's funny, because I feel like we are SO in the same boat on this one. After graduating from school I was living at home with my parents for about a year. During that time, I obviously wasn't in a serious relationship (not like I could have my boyfriend sleeping over at Mom and Dad's...) Out of respect for my parents, I wouldn't stay at my guy's house either. Now that I am finally on my own and living in my own apartment, all of these things are actually a possibility. But I SO understand where you are coming from and I feel exactly the same way. I can wear whatever I want to bed, and sprawl out, and not worry about waking up every five minutes because someone is making me hot or breathing all over me. I have the flexibility to get up early and work-out before work, and not worry if I am going to wake them up. Mr.Mixed Messages has stayed over a lot, and every time that he has, I can't wait for him to leave. My home has become my own sanctuary! I totally know what you mean about not wanting to share it. Only once in my life have I actually wanted to share every part of my life with someone else. Maybe it's that we just haven't met the right guys that we want to allow into every aspect of our lives yet? I think that if someone fantastic came along, we would compromise on what we eat for dinner... right?! I can't imagine throwing the kids into the mix too. I am so busy with work, traveling for work, working out, and obligations with friends, that I can't imagine throwing two teenagers into the mix.


So KUDOS to you Hot Mama! Let's hope that someday we will meet the right guy that we want to do laundry for and watch sports with... Until then let's keep sitting on the couch, eating bon-bon's and watching as many episodes of, "Say Yes to the Dress," as we want!

I Lost My V Card... Online

Eager Beaver,

I'm so pissed off I can hardly see straight. I've been on an online dating site for three weeks now and have only been on two dates so far, one of them with Mr. Frankenstein whom I've already written about. My second date was with a man 17 years younger than me who looked 10 years older and since I look 10 years younger it didn't seem far-fetched... plus he doesn't want to have kids. Perfect because my eggs are past their pull-date anyway. We hit it off intellectually which was so nice as it can be difficult to find an intelligent conversationalist! Oh, but then it quickly degenerated into him expressing his interest in having sex with me. Whatever, flattering I guess, but the reason I have been so choosey about who I respond to is trying to cull out the creepers who are only online for sex! Sooo many of them are and if they aren't...well, let's just say there's a reason they're alone. It's freaking frustrating but I think part of the problem is the women online. I mean, have you looked at some of their profiles?!!! They might as well just be naked for the way they're practically screaming for a good f...! Holy moly! Aaack, aren't there ANY men left out there who're looking for a genuine relationship with a nice person and, trust me, I'm not opposed to hot sex but getting to know each other should come first? Shouldn't it? Or am I just old-fashioned? Have you jumped into the online shark tank, I mean pool, yet?
-Hot Mama

Hot Mama,

I am no longer a virgin! Well... no longer an online dating virgin that is. Despite your ups and downs, and your story about Mr. Frankenstein, I decided to go through with it, and actually go out on a date with a guy I met online. Now, to protect his identity, let's call my date, Mr. Do-Gooder. I call him this with sincerity, and in no way to be a joke. I have only been "dating" online for a week, and he is one of the first guys whose email sparked my interest. I have been getting so many, "You're hot" or "Are you interested in me?" emails, that I was about ready to throw in the towel and give up, when I got the email from Mr. Do-Gooder. His email to me was short and sweet, and he said that he thought we lived too far apart, but wanted me to know that he thought I was beautiful. So I emailed him back, thanking him for the nice email and detailing all of the creeper / loser guys I had met online. After a few emails back and forth he tells me that he has been traveling and visiting friends out of state, but will be driving through Portland on his way home. He asked me if I wanted to meet for dinner... so I said yes. I didn't feel nervous about the date until about an hour before, and then I was completely ready to cancel. But I gave myself a pep-talk and reminded myself that I am a strong and independent woman, and that it was basically like meeting a new friend. So I show up, and to my surprise he is actually cuter than he was in his pictures. He was smart, well-spoken, interesting, and actually asked me questions about myself. (How refreshing compared to most of the men that I've dated!!) Mr. Do-Gooder described his three years in the Peace Corps in Africa (I told you he was a Do-Gooder) and about his excitment to start Law School this fall. After a great dinner the night ended and we exchanged text messages later saying that we both had a great time. Go figure, wouldn't it be my luck that I would meet a good guy and he lives 3 1/2 hours away. BUT this has definitely given me hope. Not to say that I don't think I will get a lot more creeper emails, but maybe there are some good guys out there online, just trying to meet that perfect girl...

Online Dating Sites: Haven for Creepers?

Eager Beaver,

So, I'm back in the online dating world and I'd forgotten (it's been a few years) what it was like. At first it was exciting to have all this attention from all these men, but then slowly reality sinks in and you realize that there are just so many creepers out there and finding a good guy is difficult. I recently had a date with a guy who seemed like a real possibility; my age, nice looking, because of his former tennis-pro life hadn't had a chance to settle down but was looking for something serious now, works directly with John McEnroe but in New York. Comes to town frequently though to see relatives and really wants to relocate. Emails were nice and then came the phone number exchange to set-up a time to meet.

We ended up speaking with him on a Sunday night...when he was drunk. He had spent the whole day boating and drinking with his family. I won't bore you with the details of the, "getting to know you" convo and just say that I shoulda known better. Because at some point in his effort to impress me he tells me about a modeling show that took place at the tennis arena with Serena Williams as the MC. He went on to say that all the female workers at the facility lamented the fact that all the males models were gay and when I commented that it must have been nice for the male workers he says, "Well, you know what they about models... The only advantage of their height is you don't have to bend them over in the shower to have sex!" WTF?!! Seriously, you don't even know me and you're making a gross comment like that? By this point we had made plans to meet Monday night and every bone in my body screamed CANCEL, BAIL, BAIL, BAIL! But being polite I thought, "Well, he's drunk, maybe he'll be fine in person." Wrong. So, wrong. Within the first two minutes he was talking about kissing me, yuck!!!

At the end of the date he asked me for a ride to his cousin's house (what?!!) and tried to lay one on my lips AFTER I had made it clear he wasn't getting a ride and my body language clealry said I'm soooooo not interested.
I practically ran from him. BTW he did NOT look like his pictures, he had a weird limp, Frankstein shoes to compensate for the weird limp and was shorter than he claimed even with Frankenstein shoes on. All that aside, what was gross was his immediately trying to get to sex. I cannot believe men my age are sooooo freaking gross and immature! Have you tried online dating yet and if so, how's it going?
-Disgusted Hot Mama


Oh Hot Mama,

What is that saying... "You've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a Prince." Well, I certainly think you've found one of your many frogs. I recently took the plunge into online dating (literally less than one week ago), and so far I don't really know what to expect. I think that your story is pretty much exactly how I imagined online dating to be. Men say that they are 5'10" when really they are 5'8" and 30lbs overweight, and look nothing like their pictures. And why would he put pictures up that don't even look like him??? Are you seriously supposed to get there and not be annoyed by the fact that he looks nothing like what you expected? I don't even understand that. I look 100% like my profile pictures. Because if someone finds me attractive, I want them to find the CURRENT me attractive, not the me from 6 months or a year ago or whatever. To top it off, I cannot even believe that he tried to freaking kiss you! Especially when you were clearly giving him the cold shoulder and trying to be completely uninviting. I wonder if men just figure that they might as well, since they never know when they are going to get a chance with a living, breathing, attractive woman again. I think you probably should've gone with your gut and cancelled, especially after the drunken Sunday night phone call... Really, how old is he anyways?? Getting drunk on a Sunday night and then calling you. How rude and inconsiderate.

Yet, despite your story, I am still going to go through with it. I have my first date with someone I met online tomorrow night. I am getting a little bit nervous and anxious, but he seems like a nice guy. Hopefully he will look like his pictures. Wish me luck! Can't wait to let you know how it goes...

Where Can I Meet an Attractive SINGLE Man?

Hot Mama,

I am getting so sick and tired of not meeting any smart, talented, and attractive available men. I feel like in your generation women were able to meet men so much easier than today! I hear all of these stories of my friend's parents and people my parents age that have these great ways that they met their spouses or significant others. One of my best friends parents even met at the PUBLIC LIBRARY! My mom tells me that she used to meet men in elevators, at the Bus Stop, in the park, etc. I feel like I don't meet them anywhere. Is everyone a complete loser? I feel like all of the guys that approach me are no-job-having-losers. Although they are generally young and attractive, I feel like they are going absolutely no where. Am I just destined to be single and alone forever??? I am so frustrated I just never even want to go anywhere anymore!!
-Frustrated (And STILL SINGLE) Eager Beaver

Eager Beaver,

Seriously it's time to get into the 21st century! If Hot Mama can, you can too! We met people at the Library back in tne day because we HAD to! Women did NOT go to bars and we didn't have the internet. You had to catch a man's eye wherever you might stumble across one, that's why women never left the house without make up on or in their sweat pants and a baseball cap! You had to be "dressed" in case you did meet someone!

Look there are no excuses anymore, there's like a thousand dating websites and while you may think, "I'm too young for that." I say "bull-hooey!" You're a young busy professional and so is a guy you'd like to meet. He and his friends are hitting bars but they don't go there to meet quality women, they go there to get some "relief" from their physical needs. Yeah, every once in awhile someone meest someone in a bar but very, very rarely. I have so many friend who met, dated, and married all because of the internet. And it's cheaper than spending your money in bars! That's not to say there aren't creepers on it, (there ARE!) but you just have to be wise in culling through them. Will you go on some crap-ass dates and be so mad you want to scream? Yes. Will you have great stories to tell all your girlfriends? YES! Hilarious stories. So, get off your high horse and jump into the internet dating pool! The great thing is you can always take a break from it whenever you feel like you're being circled by sharks or you've seen one too many dogfish, spineless jelly fish or eels.
-Hot Mama



Hot Mama,

I think you have officially convinced me to do it! I'm taking the plung. I have been considering online dating for a while now, but have been kind of nervous about the kind of guys that I could meet online. But you are right! I am young and busy... when do I have time to meet guys at the library or on the street?? Who am I kidding?! I'm tired of the bar scene, and guys hitting on me with their only intention being to sleep with me. I need to find a quality man. 21st Century, here I am! Let the dating begin...
