I moved here 6 months ago, and with a slightly lower than average income, I have been ghosted more in the last 6 months here, than in the last 6 years combined in two other major cities.

My Bay Area dating experience:

East Bay is the best! That’s were I live (formerly Oakland, now El Cerrito), but work in SF. I spent 8 years dating in the SF bay area, and it’s mostly not so great. I feel the economic disparity issues, I was pretty broke when I was single, like I could pay my bills, but barely had anything left. So going on a date…

What is that old chestnut I hear passed around quite often...oh, yeah “DC is Hollywood for ugly people”.

Even back in the 90's/early 00's when I worked in the city (and lived there very briefly before fleeing back to the far less stressful East Bay), dating as a hetero woman was tough because there were so few available hetero men and they were super picky. Being in tech South of Market wasn’t cool yet so the finance…

I’d like to add as an SF gay: all of the above is true for the gays plus adding the fact that everyone is already in an open/poly relationship so like no one is looking for an actual boyfriend.

Dating in DC when I was fresh outta law school and clerking was like trying to date the characters of Animal House (or Animal Farm? Or both?). Don’t miss at all.

omg, East Bay represent!

SF-dater here! I agree with all the above but I will also add to it the go-big-or-go-home mentality I see here. Nobody just has a job and goes home in the evening to chill out. Everybody is either working on their startup after hours, training for their next fitness event, or partying HARD. If someone says that…

The drawings are by an old chum of mine, the renowned science fiction illustrator Chris Foss, who is better known for working on Jodorowsky’s Dune project, and for numerous paperback book covers. Chris is a wonderful raconteur and can tell the story better than I can, but apparently Charles Raymond’s German wife had a…

Considering that the minimum purchase price I've encountered in vending machines is now $2, absolutely I would be aroused by a quality product that required a single quarter to buy. My god.

I only get turned on when I think somebody is about to buy that turkey sandwich that’s been in the vending machine forever.

Man, my parents had this book right out on their bookshelf in the basement (without the cover). I discovered it at 9 years old. Then a day later, all my friends discovered it too.

Maybe the act of rifling through your pocket to get the quarters.  Maybe accidentally grabbing onto your roll of quarters while in the pocket?  Who knows.

“It is triggered easily by things, like putting a quarter in a vending machine.”

You’ll be fine then. Imperial War Museum is a good shout too, especially as it has the Holocaust Memorial there which people should go and see at least once.

Super Bowl snacks............go big or go home.

I’m really confused by the tone of this article. The pure charisma and likability of Ted Bundy is well-documented. His crimes and horrific actions are also well-documented. I feel like the teaser sets up the audience to see these two sides of the man. Who else, but a former teen heartthrob (the handsome one you would…

Really struggling to understand how someone can watch this trailer and take it so literally as to think it’s a cute “will they or won’t they” romcom about a man trying to beat the system. What makes Ted Bundy interesting to people (at least to people who find serial killers interesting) is that he was an insane…

Right. And part of the case was that the trial was such a circus because so many young women showed up to support him.
