From My Perspective – Official DateHookup Blog

Google “romantic gestures” and you find a whole lot of ideas that would impress the heck out of 13 year old girls, Victorian ladies, and starry-eyed, attention-starved older women addicted to sappy romance novels. The real women I know need a more updated approach. Furthermore, is any real guy going to indulge his lady in a “week of poetry”? No takers? How about calling her several times a day? That would drive me completely insane. So how about we scrap the muttonchop approach, shelve Lord Byron, and get down to the brass tacks of some modern romance?

Furries in general have gotten a bad rap. Shows like CSI, The Man Show, and ER have depicted them as sexual fetishists, when in reality they are just normal people who obsess over fur. Not luxurious sable coats, but the kind that imitates cartoon characters. Nothing freaky about that. No, sir.

Nothing is sexier than self-confidence. Most people have confidence problems, but anyone, regardless of looks, wealth, or weight, can be self-confident. The first thing you have to do is STOP comparing yourself to other people. You are unique. You don’t have to look like a movie star or be as charismatic as a politician, as rich as the Donald, or as cool as a rock star. Just be yourself and like it, and other people will like it, too. Nearly everyone has some quality about them that some people will find appealing. The least important thing is your looks, so forget that and concentrate on what really matters.

You’ve served her a nice dinner and are ready to settle in for a movie. The question on your mind right now is, “Am I getting any tonight?” The answer might be easier to predict than you think. Movie choice says a lot about state of mind. Hit the video store and rent 3 movies, one each from category A, B, and C. Then let her choose what to watch and react accordingly. One romance rule to live by: always serve chocolate.

A. Cuddle Time
These are safe, non-threatening chick flicks. She wants romance, so be attentive, but don’t count on anything more than sweet kisses tonight. Let her control the escalation; she might surprise you. Serve hot chocolate spiked with Amaretto or Frangelico and decadent cheesecake in bite-sized pieces.

So you walk in on your guy modeling your new dress. After you’re done yelling about how he stretched out the shoulders and it will never fit you again, what now? Do you dump him and run screaming for the nearest fire station in search of a brawny he-man? I guess the answer to that comes down to: Do you love him enough to put up with a little weirdness? Let’s face it, guys who will wear girl duds are definitely in touch with their feminine side.   Gay guys are a blast, right? Maybe a straight guy in girl’s clothing is the perfect man. Personally,  I’d stick around long enough to find out, unless I was already looking for an excuse to dump him.

Real romance isn’t in the big things. It’s in the tiny day-to-day reminders of love and attention. Unless money is really no object, spending major bucks on a skywriter to splash your love across the sky is more likely to get a guttural response of “Exactly how much did that cost?” than “You are the most wonderful man alive.” Women want to feel special, but they are practical creatures at heart. If you’re going to drop large coin, make it a memorable weekend trip or a nice piece of jewelry.

Everybody else is doing it: the automobile industry, the banking industry…so why not the porn industry? At least that’s what Hustler magazine magnate Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis reason. TMZ recently reported that the porn powerhouse duo is off to Washington to petition Congress for a hefty $5 billion in bailout funding to rescue the ailing adult entertainment industry. They claim that the failing economy has reduced triple-X DVD sales by 22% from last year’s sales figures, and they figure porn deserves at least the same consideration as automobile manufacturers.

What exactly is a foot fetish and where on earth did it come from? Why are some people aroused by the turn of an ankle or lift of an arch, while others see only calluses and toenails that need to be clipped?

Foot Fetishism aka Podophilia: Historical Aspects

Dictionary definitions concern a “pronounced sexual interest in feet.”

Points of attraction include: the shape and size of the feet and toes, state of dress (or undress) odor and any other form of sensory interaction.

Everyone’s been there – you bought takeout a few too many times this week, picked up a few too many rounds with the dudes and impulse-purchased a pack of gum, a magazine subscription, AND a new ipod. Oops. And now, it’s Thursday night – you have a date planned and you want to impress her – but your wallet (and bank account) aren’t supporting your efforts. (more…)

You vacuumed the couch, stocked the fridge with snacks and finished doing the dishes and you’re just about to make a final decision between Animal House and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me for your cozy movie night in..

STOP.

Now, do you really want to make out tonight? If so, then I hate to break it to you, but movie selection is key, and either one of those winners will only highlight your penchant for fart jokes. (more…)
