Better Late Than Never?
Posted by Tech Babe in Dating tips, Featured articles, Latest on February 20, 2010
…or is it? Forget the 24-hour coverage of the Winter Olympics. Yesterday’s worldwide top news story was Tiger Woods’ public apology for cheating on his wife–repeatedly. While many could care less, this was a huge ordeal! Could you imagine having the whole world tune in to your admittance of guilt and promising change and recovery? Yeah, I didn’t think so. It would be mortifying! This is soooooo a modern day “scarlet letter” classic! But did Tiger’s apology come too late? I mean, come on. It’s been about two months since the story broke and he became the new poster child for the show Cheaters. Does the old cliche “better late than never” apply here? Is there still hope?
For Tiger, we all get that he had a lot to lose. And being a public figure requires a formal statement, which is probably part of the reason why it took so long. But for the rest of us, or most of us, waiting this long would be too late, let alone accepting the apology at all. Why? Because the idea of “trust” is completely thrown out the window. Trust is one of the fundamental foundation blocks to any relationship. Regardless if one chooses to accept the apology and forgive, that’s a tough comeback! While there are a multitude of layers of trust, this wasn’t an “I spent the money on a new pair of shoes instead of paying the cable bill,” type of situation. This was an “all you can eat assorted sushi Tiger roll” type of situation. How do you come back from that? While Tiger’s wife, Elin, is willing to support his path to recovery, do you really think she’ll ever trust him again? She had it right when she stated “[his] apology will not come in the form of words, but will come in the form of action and [his] behavior.” That still doesn’t answer the question though.
In most matters of infidelity, apologies are nothing more than an ask for another chance. This, of course, is a slippery slope if the chance is granted. “I’ll give you another a chance. But that means I get the passwords to your email and voice mail, you have to be home by 6:30PM everyday, have lunch with me everyday, and call me every hour on the hour.” What idiot would accept those terms? (I could actually name a few, but I won’t.)
Apologies can also be a closing statements to end the relationship all together. “Sorry, I f’d up. Didn’t mean to hurt you…but I refuse to give you my email and voice mail password, have no idea what time I’ll get home everyday, can’t take you to lunch with me daily, and will most likely forget to call you every hour on the hour.” I’d say this is a much more honest and sincere apology.
To each his own, I guess.
Good luck Tiger! Hope to see you back in full schwing! (I meant “swing.” Full Swing!)
“Brangelina” – Open for Business?
Posted by Tech Babe in Dating tips, Dating trends, Featured articles, Latest on January 25, 2010
With the recent hums of Brad and Angelina’s talks of a potential split, due to the introduction of an “open” relationship, it made me wonder. Is there such a thing? And could it actually work?
According to the ever-knowing online wiki, “an open relationship is a relationship in which the participants are free to have emotional, spiritual and/or physical relationships with other partners, often within mutually agreed limits. If a couple in an open relationship is married, it can be called an open marriage.”
Really? Let me dissect this definition a bit.
“…participants are free to have emotional, spiritual and/or physical relationships with other partners.” Ok, I get the “physical” aspect of it, but I don’t understand the “emotional” or “spiritual” arms of that statement. Why on earth would anyone be in a relationship if they haven’t attained an emotional or spiritual level with that person? That’s all that’s left in relationship outside of the sex part. Call it what it is– a “hook-up.”
“…within mutually agreed limits” translates to rules. Based on a few online publications I found on this topic, all shared a first and foremost fundamental rule on open relationships: Communicate and be open to sharing your experiences. Are you f***ing kidding me with this? First of all, if you’re not already communicating with one another, you’re wasting your time. And secondly, I highly doubt any man would sit through dinner where standard table conversation would be how I got rammed in the back door by a stallion. No thank you.
Here are a few other rules I found in a single online publication on open relationships:
- Always practice safe sex outside the relationship.
- No sex with mutual friends.
- Sexual encounters must not interfere with the couple’s customary or planned time together.
- Sex is permissible only when one partner is out of town.
- Outside sex is only allowed with advance agreement with one’s lover.
- Outside sex is allowed only when both partners participate.
- Outside sex is never permitted at home.
- Sex is permitted at home, but not in the bedroom.

Aren’t relationships complicated enough without rules? Rules are what kills most relationships.
“If a couple in an open relationship is married, it can be called an open marriage.” Then why the hell did you get married in the first place? It would be more understandable if this was “green card” situation. Chances are, it’s not. Not in this context. Add kids to the mix and the entire family are prime candidates for a series of daytime talk shows.
Apparently, there is such a thing as open relationships, based on the wealth of online content out there on this very topic. Could it work? I don’t see how, looking at all of the rules in play. I’m no dating or relationships expert, but I’ve got a pretty good handle on common sense.
What about you?
End the Year with a BANG!
Posted by Tech Babe in PhoneFling on December 31, 2009
New Year’s eve brings the whore out in everyone. It’s the perfect excuse to shove your tongue down a stranger’s throat at the stroke of midnight without getting slapped (maybe). It’s also a perfect opportunity for one night stands. With all the boozing flowing through your veins, your thought process will be overly skewed and you might wake up in an unfamiliar place with a stranger next to you the next morning. Having said that, and while you are still in the right mind-set, get your New Year’s eve emergency kit ready to go! (AKA “Walk of Shame Kit.”)
Your NYE emergency kit should consist of the following:
- A pair of clean panties. Preferably a thong so it fits nicely in your purse. Girls only. Guys can go days.
- Dark sunglasses, unless you’re into doing the walk of shame with your head held high.
- Gum/breath-mints. Chances are you won’t be using your one night stand’s toothbrush.
- $75 – $100 in cash for that cab ride home or in the event you’re trying to ditch the sucker. Add an extra five dollars for your morning shot of espresso.
- Condoms–at least four. One to back up the one that broke, one to give to your friend, and the other for going another round.
- Lastly, a post-it note with two of your friend’s phone numbers on it. Technology has made it very difficult to memorize phone numbers anymore. Fold it up and tuck it in your shoe or purse. You’ll remember it’s there if you’re in a bind.
You’ll probably want to incorporate an overcoat with your NYE outfit in the event you lose your clothes. Well folks, that about wraps it up for the decade they call “The Noughties.” Speaking of “wrap,” be smart, be safe, keep it sexy and KEEP IT WRAPPED!
HAPPY WHORING and NEW YEAR!

“The Fourth Kind”
Posted by Tech Babe in Dating tips, Featured articles, Latest on December 7, 2009
With the plethora of social networking sites and “Googling” being a necessary daily activity, it has become more than challenging to not be a stalker. The same goes for online dating sites even more so with the personal profile people give up. Profiles are created to attract. That is the goal, right? So first comes the attraction, then comes the flirtation, and finally, what at least one of you hopes for, comes the connection. The attraction is the easy part. But the road to connection street could get a bit tricky. How does one remain persistent in their pursuit without being deemed a stalker? Let’s first understand the four kinds of stalking:
The 1st Kind: SIGHTING – Checks out your profiles on various social networking sites for the mere sake of checking it out. Everyone does this so this is okay.
The 2nd Kind: EVIDENCE – Goes beyond your online profile and starts “following” or “friending” your friends and family to add to their own accounts. (So not cool. Stop any form of contact and initiate the cock-block or clam-jam.)
The 3rd Kind: CONTACT – Randomly shows up at the same place at the same time when you don’t live or work in the same neighborhood. (Have your restraining order ready.)
The 4th Kind: ABDUCTION – If it gets to this point, sorry couldn’t help you. But you will be celebritized on CNN, I’m sure.
Now that the four kinds of stalking have been established, here are a few anti-stalker guiding principles:
- If the person you’ve been having flirtatious exchanges with stops reciprocating all of sudden, STOP! There’s nothing creepier than receiving a text that reads “I’m beating off to your profile pic baby” after you’ve made it clear you’re no longer interested. Move on, assuming you’re the guy with your cock in your hand.
- DO NOT, under any circumstance, “just show up” at the same place as your interested party after tracing their every move from their Twitter or Facebook updates. If you happen to be at the same place at the same time, casually walk over and give a quick greeting and salutation and walk away. At least pretend you weren’t stalking the person.
- While the “wait three days to call back” rule no longer applies after a first date, it’s not okay to call, leave a message, and then follow it up with a text message to say you called and left a message. If he/she is interested, they’ll call you back.
- Pursuant to the third point above, if weeks have gone by, or hell, even months, and he/she still hasn’t returned your phone call or text, don’t leave another message indicating you’re still waiting for the call. (“Hello Desperado.”)
- Regardless of how great your Photo Shop skills are, don’t start shopping him/her into your photos and then post it to your Facebook or Flickr accounts. (That’s just creepy.)
If you are guilty of any of the aforementioned, then you should start re-evaluating your online pursuits or you could end up in jail. Persistence is good but be casual and be prepared for rejection.
“Cock-Will-Do-Her-Screw”
Posted by Tech Babe in Dating tips, Featured articles, Latest on November 25, 2009
Ah yes, the holiday season is here. And there’s no better way to spend it than to spend it with only your closest friends and family. Keep that in mind when deciding if you should invite your significant other, who you met online, to partake in family holiday traditions.
At what point in your relationship do you bring your boyfriend/girlfriend home for the holidays?
The holiday season always makes this a tough question to answer, let alone all the factors you have to consider. I’ll do my best in bringing some of those considerations to light.
Q: Is this someone you’d bring around your family?
A: If yes, then you should have done so already. If no, then no need to read further.
Q: Have you already introduced your girlfriend/boyfriend to the family in another, less formal setting?
A: If yes, I don’t see any harm. Plus it alleviates all the annoying questions asked by your nosey aunts, such as, “why didn’t you bring so and so?” “Does so and so not like us?” “Are you embarrassed by us?” You get the picture.
But if not, then Thanksgiving is probably not the best setting to bring in an outlier to witness your drunk-ass uncles double dipping while picking at the food out on the table.
Q: Are you looking to get laid during the holidays?
A: Silly question, I know. Who the hell wouldn’t? However, remember, Thanksgiving is a selfless holiday, or it’s supposed to be, anyway. Depending on what you decided with the first two questions will steer you in the right direction for this one.
Just because you don’t invite your boyfriend/girlfriend to Thanksgiving dinner with your family doesn’t mean you can’t get laid. Schedule a post-turkey hook-up so she can have her cock and eat it too.
I hope this was somewhat helpful in answering the original question at hand. The fundamental take away here is to consider what kind of a relationship you are currently in. If all this thinking and relationship analysis made your head hurt, then you’re probably only interested in a “cock-will-do-her-screw”. In which case, leave the girlfriend/boyfriend out.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Connection-SUCCESSFUL!

After months of perusing online dating sites, creating multiple online dating profiles, playing Tetris with key characteristics, and five paychecks wasted on dry dates, a’las, you’ve found your match! Now, the million dollar question (or whatever amount you’ve dished on these online dating services, unless it’s free like PhoneFling)…
“Do you keep your online dating profiles up and active?”
After taking an independent poll, made up of a few co-workers, Twit-Heads, and even a few BFFs, I’ve concluded the answer to this question is influenced by the direct correlation between your dating objective and your dating type:
|
Dating Objective: |
Dating Type: |
Answer: |
|
Casual |
Sack-Roller |
Yes |
|
Relationship |
Cruiser |
Perhaps |
|
Marriage |
Sucker |
No |
The “Sack-Roller” isn’t looking for anything more than a roll in the sack, a pounding on the hood of a car, or a bladder stabbing in a dark corner. Like the sack-roller’s sex drive, their online dating profile will remain active.
The “Cruiser” is a bit more complex. The cruiser likes relationships and wouldn’t mind having a relationship, but is analogous to that of a job-seeker. Once a job-seeker lands that job, does the job-seeker keep his/her on-line resume updated and active? Sure. Why? Because the job-seeker is always open to newer and better opportunities, IF it exists. However, the job-seeker’s response to newer and better opportunities is swayed by their current state of contention. Meaning, offers may still come in but can be rejected or ignored if the job-seeker is perfectly satisfied with his/her current position. Just like the job-seeker, while the cruiser may keep their online dating profile active, responding to other “offers” or “requests” may be in-active.
The “Sucker…” well, I think that’s self-explanatory.
There you have it. But now that I think of it, what you do with your online dating profile post-connection isn’t really up to you, is it? No. It’s up to the “connecteee” and how they feel about you keeping it active while you’re with them. In that case, the answer is “Yes” to all. (Well that was a waste of energy.)
“I Know Who You Did Last Summer (and I know Who You’re Doing Now)”

Everyone’s doing it and I’m sure you have too! Whether you’re in a relationship, looking for one, or playing the host on Cheaters for yourself or for a BFF, you’ve run a person’s search online. A recent survey, conducted by Intelitech, Inc., the creators of PhoneFling, polled 275,000 of its members, and 62% support this fact.
Actually, that 62%, more specifically, have searched online for an ex. The survey results did not confirm why but come on, we all know why. For guys, it’s to see what new loser your whore of an ex is contaminating now. And for girls, it’s just what we do. I’m guessing the majority of that 62% are chicks….scorned chicks! (Guilty.)
But searching online for someone isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s a way to do your background checks before setting yourself up for failure all over again. But if you’re having to pay for services to obtain a person’s information, then you are borderline stalker…not cool.
Other statistics in the survey reflect how the influence of increasing social media trends, online dating included, has really changed the dating game. The popularity of online dating services has morphed from a quick and easy way to meet your match to a quick and easy way to create an online, uninhibited persona; one that some may not actually demonstrate in real life.
Surprisingly, 64.1% said that they are less likely to do this though it is a top concern. How do you know the person really is who they say they are or look the way they look in their profile in real life (IRL)? That’s just it. You don’t. But if you’re ever at a point where you are ready to take this online affair to an offline meeting “IRL”, choose a meeting location with lots of windows that face a crowded street. That way you can sneak a peek before your meeting begins. If he/she is not for you, keep going and block him/her from any of your social media networks. Otherwise, rock on and keep it wrapped! (That’s another thing that won’t be disclosed online.)

Now that Halloween is over and just when you’re ready to toss that costume aside, stop! You don’t have to wait for Halloween to throw on a costume. Costumes are great to get a little role-playing action going. Think about all the possibilities?
- Nurse and Patient
- Teacher and School-Girl
- Cowboy and Indian
- Cop and Robber
- Politician and Intern
The possibilities are endless! The key to role playing, however, is getting into character. You can’t just wear the part. You have to be the part. It won’t work otherwise. That said, your partner has to be a willing partner and into your little game. Alcohol might be a good start to loosen you up.
On-location role playing is even more intense! However, that takes a lot more commitment from both of you. But if you’re both willing, why the hell not! Go to a bar and pretend she’s a prostitute and he’s just a regular suit and tie guy. Have him make his move and pick you up. Go to a hotel/motel and go crazy and have him pay you! (That might be a stretch, but remember, he has to be the part.)
So go ahead and hang on to that slutty costume of yours. You never know when someone is going to be in need of a naughty girl spanking.
Be A “Stand-Out” Ho this Halloween
Posted by Tech Babe in Featured articles on October 26, 2009
It’s that time of the year again where all the hos and sluts of the world are summoned to come out of hiding. You guessed it! It’s Halloween! Here in Hollywood, it’s a Ho Festival. Forget all the traditional costumes of yesteryear ladies and be a ho like every other girl. The moon has issued you your slut license for the evening, so work it!
The men will be on the prowl that evening and ready to hunt. But if they have to choose between 100 French Maids, 200 Sexy Cops, 300 Fairies, or a thousand Naughty School Girls, what are your chances of being picked? Think about it. Here are a few ideas to make you a “stand-out” ho this Halloween:
Guess what's in my basket?
Little Red Riding Ho – Carry a basket filled with condoms, lollipops and Advil.
Little Miss Eat My Muffet – Carry a bowl with a variety of flavored body oils or lubes. Smear it over exposed body parts.
Tinkerslut or Princess Fairy – Instead of a wand, bedazzle a whip or a paddle and dress it up with fancy lace and ribbon strands.
Naughty School Girl – Every guy loves a girl in pig-tails. However, you’re supposed to be a “naughty” school girl. Why not replace the pig-tails with a post-bed-rocked hair-do? That should bring out the “knotty” in your outfit.
If all else fails, wear a service sign around your neck, complete with price points:
- Conversation = 0.99c per minute
- Dance = $2.00 per song (add $20 for lap dance)
- Ankle Grab = $10.00
- Face Slap = FREE!
You get the idea. Now re-think that slutty costume and make yourself stand out! Be a stand-out ho!
