Most Commented Dating & Relationships Blogs (2,541)

I noticed something yesterday, I had friends round for a BBQ and they are very much in love, I noticed that they had very similar facial features.

Ive done a lot of research and normal couples do seem to have similar facial attributes, these could be eyes, noses, mouths etc.

I did see that celebrity couples did NOT have any similar facial attributes, that explains why they always seem to have short relationships.

So when looking for that perfect partner and what attracts us to them do they have similar features to us?

Think back to when (if) you were once in a very happy relationship and look for these similarities.

Most of us, if not all, are on a dating site because we are looking for a partner. That is the purpose of dating sites after all. We could blog on any social media site.

But why are we really looking for one?

Is it to have somebody around on the long cold evenings, for companionship ?
Somebody to do the jobs we may find difficult ourselves?
Somebody to keep us warm in bed?
Is it for financial security?
Somebody to have by our sides when we go to weddings, funerals, etc.
Is it to have somebody look after us as we age?
Or simply somebody to have sex with on a regular basis?

Does society make us feel like we are not complete without a partner or wife/husband?

Do we ourselves feel like we are not complete without a partner or wife/husband?

Why do we really want a partner?

What do you think? Are online dating sites becoming a thing of old? I know with this site, I hear about how boring the blogs are becoming and therefore people are just not interested in coming to the site as frequently. There is another dating site that I have been on for some time too...and I don't use it hardly at all anymore because it just seems to be a waste of time more than anything else. But, I recently rechecked it out...being bored...and I noticed that the number of users online was significantly less...nearly half as less as I remember it. Perhaps the concept of the dating sites I use (which is only 2) is becoming outdated to some extent and people are finding other means of meeting? Or, perhaps...people don't have any interest on meeting others anymore? Or even more perhaps, maybe I have just not gotten enough information to make any sort of determinations?


Good Thursday all.

There are some who do not know how things end.

The current dynamics that society has with the incorporation of feminism, where the traditional nuclear family is eroding....how does this social dynamic eventually end. We have never seen this type of society...ever...in human history. Some of the most brilliant minds don't even have a clue on how this ends...I have not even heard any speculation.

What do you think?

How does it end?



This is a real concern among men...and perhaps should be among women as well. I was just at a party over the weekend and a 20 year old man brought up the exact question to me. In addition, I was listening to a podcaster just last night, and the brilliant guest mention he didn't know how things would work out either.

All good things must come to an end. I guess the same applies to the not so good. They too must end; only sooner than later.

For the past few months I’ve been in a relationship with a completely incompatible woman. She’s a social butterfly who loves those boring parties where you float from person to person, making small talk about any BS, ranging from the weather to baby care and everything in between, excluding current affairs and politics, while wetting her lips on a glass of red wine all evening.

I, on the other hand, prefer to attend, at the most, one rowdy party per month while spending the rest of the time in small company, maybe just the two of us or one or two other couples, dining out, braaiing, go dancing or whatever.

We recognized our differences very early on and often discussed it. Our tastes in music differ, we do not agree in our political views, and we have very different religious views. We realized that it could not last, yet we hanged on to each other because we enjoyed each others company when we were together. We decided to enjoy it while it lasted; marking time, I suppose, waiting for something better to show up.

As usually, I did not see her this weekend but she came around last night. We went to a nearby pub for an hour or so and watched a movie (Avatar) at home afterwards. This morning, just before she left, she dropped the bomb. This was the last time, she said. After a night of more passion than the norm, she pecked me on the cheek and said good-bye.

You could have knocked me over with a feather. I knew it was coming, yet the news surprised me. My mind was in turmoil while I walked her to her car. It is her birthday tomorrow and I bought her a fairly expensive gold chain. I'm scared that if I give it to her now, she may think that I'm trying to buy her back.

As she got into the car, she said she’ll call me later and drove off.

So, that’s it then. At least we parted as friends.

You have a wonderful day, will you.

I don’t understand men, and where in blazes is the handbook? How can we have evolved alongside each other for hundreds of thousands of years and not have a CLUE? I don't even understand my male friends any more.

My brother was full of advice. “Always tell the truth, say what’s on your mind, and tell a man what you want, we’re not psychic.”

Yeah, THAT worked. We fell out a few years back and he hasn’t spoken to me since. Family inheritances cause way more trouble than they’re worth, by the way. Cut your kids out, leave the money to charity.

Without him there to translate men to me I gave them a wide berth for some years. That all changed in 2014 through a series of events and by the time 2015 crawled out its nappy I was with a man who was so violently, passionately and intensely in love it was frankly unnerving. Because I don’t understand men at all I thought he was in love with me but turned out he was violently, passionately and intensely in love with my pedestal and one day I suddenly had a lot of time on my hands.

A casual long-term friend of mine was going through a breakup and we joked that we would date each other until we’d got used to be being single again. He’s pure rocket-scientist, complicated, difficult, and 15 years younger, nicely distracting, but then that got intense as well. Ohhhhh no. No more intense, thanks. We did eventually struggle back to the more comfortable status of friends (phew) and I said that’s it, not again.

Then I met a third man (I know. IN A YEAR. It’s raining men) funny, generous, wicked, and tailor-made for me - and for the next year he will be working in some fairly peculiar and VERY distant parts of the world.

So I’m officially handing in my lipstick. That’s my new year resolution – giving up on men, instead focusing on good works, and becoming rich, successful and uncomplicatedly happy. Well, that’s the idea. So if any one of you see me flirting here on CS, just wag a finger at me and point me back at this blog. Deal?

Ta.

Men, please tell me what has put you off a woman instantly and forever, very early on. I want to put a bloke off.

Women, if you know of something that would put a bloke off instantly, please share.

Thanks.

My name is Elegsabiff, and I am a matchmaker. I talk to a woman in Gotham City, she seems nice, I suggest a man in Metropolis. They are both horrified but surely, surely, both single and in the same country, they need someone to point out that they are both single and in the same country? On a social website. Where every time we log in we are presented with every single of the opposite sex within 500 miles.

Oh. Right.


I see a man giving advice to a woman on a blog, and I leap in to suggest they should be together - oh no, hang on, that's why I'm here. To learn it is NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

This is hard. Bring me coffee!

I was talking with a female friend of mine over the weekend. We were talking about me and my activity on a dating site. She revealed to me, if she ever got on a dating site....her intention, if she were to join, would be...who could she f*ck over next.

She told me to get off these dating sites ASAP.

What do you think?

I saw this quote from Dedo from last year on another blog, and it struck a chord with me.

"What would happen if you had a glance in to the book of destiny and found out that your Mr.Right.or soulmate lives 12.000 miles away,is a garbageman and has 9 kids ..."

Notwithstanding the 9 kids , what would we do?

If we were told our soulmate , our One, whatever you want to call them, lived across the globe, would we take that leap? Make that move?

Or would we find excuses not to?
Using our work, our family, our lives, our health, our not liking flying, lack of resources, (add your own excuse here) to not go.


How far will we go, both physically and emotionally, for love?

Or maybe it isn't that important in the grand scheme of things.
