Fantastic article and very timely for me. I've had 2 interviews in the last 6 months at other companies and one offer. The bottom line was that as much as I want to leave where I'm at, those other companies couldn't meet the benefits, pay, and flexibility I have where I am now. If I can find a way to change my…

I've been stuck in a job I hated twice. Both times, I couldn't move because my ex was out of work, and I couldn't take the risk of moving somewhere where the job might not have been as stable. I was utterly miserable. It was the kind of misery that would wake me up in the middle of the night, filled with the urge to…

Yup, that is definitely the easiest way to send messages in a way that maximizes the response rate. I actually got about a 50% response rate for the week or so I was on OkCupid using this method, which isn't bad!

I recall a season of the Real World many many many years ago (first New Orleans season). The cast was required to produce video segments for…

This in my profile one...no joke...hey I'm all about what you see is what you get...

Is it weird that I'm married, yet now, seeing the pic of you and your GFs dogs, I want to date you both? (Does that little dude have to pump his legs twice as often to keep up with his buddy?) Squee!

Because I'm proud of not having an STD.

This is really useful, I've been wanting to give my profile a spring cleaning but haven't really known where to start. This is exactly what I needed, thanks for posting!

4) You with your pets.
