FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS – CAN YOU REALLY PULL OFF CASUAL SEX?
The laws of nature dictate that when one sleeps with a member of the opposite sex long enough, they will get emotionally attached. This ladies, is what makes the convenience of having a regular “FB” (and no, I’m not talking about Facebook) virtually impossible.
VALENTINE’S DAY: BEST CHICK FLICK MOMENTS
In recent years I have become disinterested in love. It’s your classic case of closing one’s self off after a dodgy relationship. I was worn out, weary and completely exhausted of love.

REAL MEN ONLY NEED APPLY: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ROMANCE?
“Want to come to our place for some Jim Beam and chips? We live just down there, but don’t tell anyone.” “Why yes, I can imagine that you’d have hundreds of women beating a path to your door.” “So, are you coming?” “Tempting, but just this once I’ll have to say no.” … and people say chivalry is dead.

In my 33rd year, I’ve not only come to appreciate the male anatomy more, I realise that I am in fact a bit of a snob. They come in all different shapes and sizes, but quite frankly, most of them are well, let’s face it, ugly. In particular the uncircumcised ones I have encountered in [...]

DEAR DANNY
It’s been one year since you married my best friend. Today should be the day that we all spend looking through the photos reminiscing how beautiful she looked, how happy you looked together and what a special day it was. We can still do all those things, except you’re not here to do it with [...]
GHOST OF RELATIONSHIPS PAST
A lingering feeling that I couldn’t quite shake or put my finger on had been following me for days (I tried sneaking out the house with a cap pulled down over my face, but it just waited for me around the corner, jumped out, yelled boo and scared the crap out of me). Then, finally, [...]
