Mingle2 Blog
A blog about dating, meeting people, being social and everything in between.
(and occasionally some geek stuff)

I've been hard at work these past few weeks putting together some new comics for Mingle2. The most recent one I launched today:
Prior to that, I created BiggerBetterBeards.org (which is a bit ironic considering that I lack a beard)
And lastly, right before Halloween, I presented some tips for making your car a bit m...

In my ongoing effort to make Mingle2 the weirdest, most unconventional dating site on the planet, I've constructed a quiz that tests your knowledge of various sex positions.
I didn't want to use pornographic images for the models, and drawing them would have been way too time consuming, so instead I bought some GI joes (both a male and fe...

1. Make a facebook app specifically for her cat - achieve viral success, sell it for millions.
2. Win the x-prize competition
3. Help her steal wifi from her neighbors, then use it to download a pirated copy of Ironman 2 and the new wolverine movie.
4. Code a bot that can crack any captcha. Use it to spam the entir...

As a followup to 9 reasons not to date a tyrannosaurus rex , I'm pleased to announce:
I think this does a pretty good job of explaining why it'd be totally rad to date one of these magical beasts.

Ever wondered if you've had sex with too many people, or not enough? Today we launched the Mingle2 Dating Report , which asks you how many sexual partners you've had in your life and then tells you how you compare to everyone else in your demographic.
We ask for your age, gender, location, sexual orientation, and how many people you've been ...

Thanks to Taloan for writing this blog entry, although she doesn't strike me as particularly mutant-like :)
I never dated in high school. I went to my senior prom with a foreign exchange student named Barbora. I like to say it was because I am a mutant. According to everyone else its because I’m too damned picky. I’ll concede that...

A little over two years ago I decided I wanted to lose some weight. I wasn't morbidly obese or anything but I had the figure of a typical computer guy: skinny arms accompanied by a lower half that was unusually fatter than my upper body (picture Tyrannosaurus Rex with love handles). My diet was mediocore and I never, ever exerc...

Being single definitely has its advantages. There's more freedom, less responsibility, and no one to keep tabs on you. Conversely, there are some things I absolutely hate about being single.
Lets start with the hate:
Not having a guaranteed "activity buddy." If you're single and you want to go out to dinner yo...

The mind of a web developer is a vastly complex organ; it's riddled with anguish, elation, caffeine, and a gargantuan mound of crap to remember. I figured this warranted a bit of creativity so I whipped up this diagram of a web developer's brain.

I've compiled a list of what I consider to be the ten worst movies to see on a first date. These aren't necessarily bad movies, they're just movies that could ruin the mood or scare the hell out of your potential partner.
10. Apocalypse Now (Redux)
This happens to be one of my favorite movies but it also happens to be a ver...

I want to begin by saying I had options: I could have chosen an easier difficulty level, even ultra-violence would have worked. There are plenty of nice, moderately sane girls out there who I could have dated. But no, I willingly chose nightmare mode. I went for the unstable, completely batshit-crazy girl who taught me ...

I've got a thing for baristas, I can't help it. Unfortunately finding a segue from "tall americano" to "HOLY CRAP YOU'RE HOT" isn't as easy as it might seem. Flirting with a stranger is undeniably daunting: you risk rejection, embarrassment, or just plain feeling creepy. It's not hopeless, however - there ar...

Thanks to Taloan for contributing this list of mistakes to avoid when messaging someone online. Her tone is a bit cynical, but I think she speaks from experience :)

A friend of mine recently mentioned that she'd started seeing someone new and he apparently could set his own schedule at work. In other words, he was free to see her anytime he pleased. When you start seeing someone new you usually want to spend lots of time around them; they're a new squeaky toy that you want to hug and squis...
