I just read that Ellie Goulding set up Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris (everyone’s well, at least MY favorite couple du jour) because they were both tall. THAT was her reason. Um, does she think that Tay should date every single player in the NBA, too? That set up was based on nothing substantial. And a lot of my friends feel like they get set up with other people for superficial reasons, too. I think gay men have it worst. One of my gay besties calls it “gottagay.” As in, “I gotta a gay for you.” There’s nothing else connecting the two people, just that they both happen to be homosexuals.

Whether you’re dealing with a post-partum body, a few extra pounds, boobs you don’t think are big enough, thigh you don’t think are small enough or just a general “society is forcing me to hate myself so I do” crummy-ness, it can make getting intimate and feeling sexy seem very, very unappealing. But, no matter the shape or size of your body or how you feel about the thing, I know one thing about your body…it wants sex. It’s a natural thing that every body wants. So, don’t deprive it of this very basic necessity. Here’s how you can have sex when you’re not in love with your body.

It wasn’t long ago when you were the profligate one. Be kind when a friend admits a money problem. This person needs support, not a lecture. Read more
After a few spectacular days in Los Angeles for Matchmaking Institute's most recent matchmaker training, I am back in NYC reflecting on all the things I loved most about this special live event. Of course, I loved just being out on the West Coast, visiting some of the places I haven't been since decades ago when I lived there. It was also amazing to reconnect with my colleagues who are truly industry thought leaders and to meet the new, aspiring matchmakers who are passionate about making a difference in the field. There's lots to love when you work in the love industry, but if I was forced to pick the top three things I most appreciated, they would be as follows.
