The Over-Educated Nympho

I posted my response, Believe, to our latest question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: What advice would you give a friend who is looking to find love in 2008?

See? I wrote about love. Looooove. I can be optimistic and smiley and shit. SO SUCK ON THAT.

I posted my response, It’s More Than A Miniature Crocodile Head, to our latest question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: What’s the best holiday gift you ever got from a romantic partner – and why?

Is it really too much to ask that a boyfriend give me a coupon book of sexual favors? 1 hour between your legs, 2 hours BDSM (and I won’t cry this time), 1 affirmation that your ass cellulite is sexy, 1 full weekend in bed, etc. I mean, DUH. And if there were one that said clean the kitchen, that would be awesome too. Just sayin’. ON YOUR KNEES, BITCH!

Bonus post at Great Mate Debate: The New Year’s Eve Kiss.

Tonight Chemistry.com is hosting a live webchat called “Sex, Love and Lies: The 21st Century Romance” with human attraction expert and biological anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher, who is one of my fellow writers on Great Mate Debate.

The purpose of the webchat is to discuss questions about relationships and chemistry like why do men lie in relationships? and is it possible for bedroom chemistry to evolve over time…? Or ask your own question. Join us Sunday, December 9th at 7pm ET (6pm Central time). The chat can be accessed through Chemistry.com or directly by using this link.

Hope to see lots of you there tonight!

I posted my response, Mine Mine Mine, to our latest question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: Speaking from personal experience, what are the three best things about being single?

Again? Seriously? We already went over this. Tivo, wine, and Oreos. DUH.

Why can’t you enjoy these with a partner?, you may ask.

I posted my response, Chemistry Comes In Layers, to our latest (er, ex-latest… my boss ate my homework, I swear) question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: Do you believe in love at first sight? Have you experienced it – and was it “the real thing” or lust?

I posted my response, There’s Good And There’s Amazing, to our sixth question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: What three things do you think are vital to an amazing relationship?

The right answer isn’t “Tivo, wine, and Oreos” is it?

I posted my response, Blogging & Dating, to our fifth question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: So many people are using technology to capture their lives – from camera phones to YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook – that the idea of living a “private life” is changing. What impact do you think this will have on relationships in the future?

This particular topic hit close to home for me. I mean, fuck, sometimes I can’t face my own friends after especially personal (not necessarily sexual) posts, let alone wonder how a significant other would react to reading about how a strip club DJ I met a porn convention gave me eleven orgasms in one night. Oh hell, and I had to go and write about my fucking feelings too. Fuck it. I have no feelings. Go back to reading about the sex.

I greatly appreciate everyone’s help in yesterday’s reader poll about dating someone older than you, but today I was informed that the editors over at Great Mate Debate cut the topic. D’OH. Oh well, it happens. That will teach me to try to write something before the deadline. Never again!! (GMD: kidding! I’m totally kidding! Please don’t fire me for being a smartass.)

Not to worry, there are plenty of future topics that will benefit from reader polls and feedback. And I’m not just talking about Great Mate Debate. Ahem.

In preparation of an upcoming Great Mate Debate topic, I have set up an informal poll asking have you ever dated someone more than ten years older than you? If you have any comments, stories, etc. please post them below.

aka the alter ego of This Week on “Great Mate Debate.”

I posted my response, If I Wanted You To Know What I Was Thinking, I Would Tell You, to our fourth question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: Why do men hate it when women ask, “What are you thinking…?”

The original post I wrote was super long, so I broke it up into two posts. The more thoughtful (less snarky, whatever) portion is on the Great Mate Debate site, and the little nuggets of pure bitch-gold are shown below. The posts are best read together, but I didn’t want to bogart the GMD screen real estate. Or get fired.

I posted my response, Choosing To Be Together, to our third question on Chemistry.com’s Great Mate Debate: Why do you think so many couples split up once they are “empty nesters” –-once the kids are independent?

If you want to leave a comment, please do so on the Great Mate Debate website so that non-OEN readers may enjoy the brilliant things you have to say. If you have trouble posting there, then it’s okay to do so here.

*Reminder: the questions we are given to answer on GMD are often chosen from suggestions that readers send in. If you have an intriguing (or even better, controversial [ooooh I just felt a gleam in my eye]) question about the nature of relationships, please email it to blogschemistry@match.com and then you can brag to me about how awesome you are when it’s chosen and I will agree whole-heartedly and send you happy thoughts full of chocolate cupcakes.
