Checking in with the BlogALog: The Dating Equivalent of Narnia?

Posted by Nicole Ankowski



What do you like better about the BlogALog: the fact that you can read the intimate details of other people’s dating adventures, or the fact that you can rate said adventures?

This week y’all are loving some Charlotte_Web, and she's loving ’em young. Calm down. Not that young. This young:
I’m not out wrangling bright-eyed boys with the ink still fresh on their diplomas; most of the men I date hover in the 30-33 range. There’s something liberating about being involved in an utterly implausible “relationship;” all of the serious concerns are off the table, and you can focus on the fun stuff. Of course, this only works if both parties acknowledge the implausibility; if one person is just having a good time while the other is poking in closets looking for the dating equivalent of Narnia, there’s gonna be trouble.

Also, SJ1000 shares her audition tape for MTV, entitled “Pollution and Asthma: A Bronx Tale.” Funkybrownchick blogs about self-esteem and the power of underwear; this ain’t no Vicky’s Secret ad. And Super_C remembers a New York trip, and love affair, gone awry. At least he had a good time at the Strand. And at least we can read about it now.

Let your inner voyeur explore, all this and more on the BlogALog.
