Is My Date a Liar?

Is My Date a Liar?

Could my date be a liar?

I once narrowly avoided dating a convicted criminal. A guy who was in jail for aggravated assault. Luckily I found out just at the last minute by Googling his name and finding local news story items about him. With a bit of digging I managed to put two and two together. I challenged my online suitor to be honest about whether he was the same person. He never replied – and that’s all the answer I needed. But my research took a long time and I felt that it was something the dating site would be taking care of. How wrong I was.

“Is My Date a Liar?” It’s the nagging question that surrounds online dating and is the greatest pitfall in an otherwise excellent system. Finding out your date is a convicted criminal or lowlife is the nightmare scenario. But other types of lying such as fibs about height, weight, income, looks and age are annoying if not dangerous. And these “white lies” are far more pervasive. Continue reading

Is it better to be out on Facebook?

Sexuality to most of us is a fairly private affair. Many gay people prefer, even today, to stay in the closet. We wondered if it’s easiest to stay in when you’re on your favourite social network.

Most Popular Time For Women To Get Pregnant

Summer Pregnancy

Did you known that the last months of the year (Oct, Nov, Dec) are the most popular for women to fall pregnant? That means that July is the most popular month for births, August coming in a runner-up.

It’s speculated that as the colder weather sets in, and our natural hibernating instincts kick in, we stay at home more, go to bed earlier and the conditions are right for frolics! Whereas in the summertime the hot weather keeps us out of doors and partying all night.

It’s also claimed that sperm is produced at lower volumes during the hot summer months, and rallies in the cooler weather. Finally we tend to plan our births to coincide with holidays and time off and good weather. So that’s why the baby-bump is a familiar site in the summer months!

Asda Launch 7p Valentine’s Card

Asda 7p Valentine's CardIf you use Facebook you’re probably familiar with the ubiquitious Tesco Value Valentine’s Cards spoof. Classic stuff. But it seems this year Asda have taken the idea and run with it by producing a real value range of Valentine’s Cards.

Actually we’re not sure if this a joke, a spoof, an ironic dig at Tesco, or real. We suspect it is all of the above in part.

But you know what, we’re not sure if we actually care whether it’s real or not because we love it. Post-modern, ironic, smart, and kinda stylish. Want one next Valentine’s day. Just as long as is it’s not all we get.

Who Is Really “Undateable”?

The programme follows the lives of people with several different conditions such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy and blindness. With its deliberately provocative title it’s causing people to ask themselves some uncomfortable questions about our perceptions on who is entitled to love. Continue reading
