The spin doctors are in!
Newsweek’s Lisa Miller recently wrote on a gay couple’s lawsuit against dating site eHarmony, which prohibits same-sex couples.
The site claims that they haven’t calibrated themselves for the queers and, thus, cannot accommodate our allegedly unique dating styles. They also justify their discrimination by saying they’re marriage oriented and, since gays can’t marry, they’re just following the law of the land.
We’ve always doubted their arguments, but Miller falls for it hook, line and stinker!
"If you’re looking for something a bit more titillating than the usual fare," writes Opinionista blogger Melissa Lafsky, "check out an article I wrote for this week’s Page Six magazine. It’s about New York women who practice polyamory."
The article in question? An exploration of young men and women who have more sex in a typical week than you've had in the past year, provocatively titled "Meet The New Swingers."
Apparently not everyone's buying it, however. One tipster (who also wonders "what's up" with Page Six Mag not putting their stuff online) points out:
"Where I come from, we called them sluts."
Funny…we always just called it Sex and the City.
When it comes to New York dating columns, you've got either Julia Allison's Candace Bushnell hat tip in Time Out New York or, as of yesterday, Mandy Stadtmiller's version, which we're going to imagine is a little bit closer to your own tryst chronicle. The junior New York Post scribe can usually be seen writing about, well, everything. But now she's part of the Post's "Dating" tab, whose partnership with Match.com probably means Mandy will be kicked off her Nerve.com account soon.
So how'd Mandy do on her first time out? CONTINUED »
