Ahhh, the hate begins!
Mar 7th
Dear Pruesaysit, I’m 28, have an overbloated opinion of myself.. and run an advice blog. How can I remedy the situation?
You too? Fuck, these advice blogs by us over opinionated, inflated sense of ego types are popping up everywhere, eh? In my opinion, what’s another voice in an other wise crowded market place, so I don’t think there’s situation to remedy.
A Few Quickies
Mar 5th
Dear Pruesaysit,
I check my ex’s Facebook, like once a week, even though we broke up a few years ago. It’s not that I have any feelings for him, but curiosity always gets the better of me. Does this make me a total stalker?

Sleuthy,
If that action makes you a stalker, then there’s a lot of stalkers out there, trust me. Look, there are some people who, once they’ve terminated a relationship, sexual, platonic or otherwise, with someone, they can just turn off any attachment they had to that person. I don’t know how they do it, and at times, I almost envy them in a way. But like you, I still wonder about certain people in my life and what became of them, so I’ll totally admit to having a poke around the ole FB to to find out how they’re doing. I say, as long as you’re not calling this dude in the middle of the night to hear him breathe, or bombarding him with messages, then you’re not stalking him. Do keep in mind, that sometimes the Facebook reveals more about people than we’d necessarily bargained for, so be prepared for whatever you may encounter.
Dear Prue,

Cake and Empathy
Mar 4th
I’ll tell you a little secret. I have this thing for whispering. You know the same way some people are arse people, others are tit fanatics, well, I’m more of an aural person. Someone whispering in my ear or down the telephone or simply falling into a witty repartee with someone I find attractive can have me turned on in an instant. I even once talked to a guy at 1223 Phone exchange for 45 mins and was convinced to go on a date with him by the end of the call, such was the power of his voice. It’s with regret that I inform you that said date with 1223 guy didn’t pan out in person, but I’ll give it to him…the boy gave good phone.
There’s plenty of other stuff that gets my motor running, I guess some of which would be classified as ‘fetishes’, but for some reason, whispering is always the first thing that comes to mind when the question of “What turns you on?” is asked. Telling people what turns me on has become easier with age. I used to be embarrassed by the admission that certain things aroused me, but with the passing of time More >
How to Get Over Your Ex
Feb 23rd
In short, anyone who really tries to tackle this question is going to be talking out their arse. Getting over an ex is such an individual and complex thing. Some people cry, some people don’t get over it for months/years, some people figure that someone not wanting to date them isn’t the end of the world, suck it up and move on; and some people figure they’re better off back on the horse sooner than later. I don’t know which one is the right approach. You gotta do what works for you when you’re getting over someone you’ve loved. I’ve tried plenty of approaches. The “fuck it out”, the “go celibate for 18 months for clarity”, the “burn his left over crap in a bonfire” have been some of my most…interesting approaches. The most I can offer is to remember that you’re worth isn’t determined by whether the object of your affections reciprocates your feelings, and that being free offers you the chance to find someone who will love you back with the same intensity. Without sounding like Tony Robbins with the insanely big hands and booming voice, I really think that when one door closes, another opens. Different is More >
The Ten Do’s and Don’t of Online Dating Profiles
Feb 22nd
Back in the day if you told someone you were dating someone you met online, people were inclined to look at you with a bit “why can’t they find someone to date in ‘real life?” kinda skepticism. Nowadays, everyone’s connected online but reports say that people are lonelier than ever before. And there it is. Life and the Internet merged together under one umbrella known as “Internet Dating”. It makes sense. In turn, all types of people now turn to dating online. And just like in real life, you only get one chance to make a first impression so you want a profile that’s going to be awesome. So, here are my top ten do’s and don’ts of online dating profiles.
Things To Be Considered When Creating a Dating Profile!
- A photo that is an honest representation of how you look when you feel your best. In 2010, if you have access to the net and a PC on which to browse said website, and you expect a photo from others, then you have no excuse for not having a photo. A clear, not “photoshopped-to-the-shithouse”, recent photo of you. Ask a few close friends to nominate their fave photos of you. You’re more likely More >
