Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
We’re not the only ones who used the Olympics as an excuse to hook up. Apparently the 16,000 athletes were hip to the trend too… Sex and the Olympic City “Last night thousands of young men and women with the most fit, toned bodies in the world mingled for the last time before they fly home. What might they get up to?” *back to real …
Our us-against-the-universe schtick is well-rehearsed now that we’re (more than) a couple years out of college. It contains “disguised” bragging (“So I had this work event for the cast of SNL at The Box the other night and the food was awful”), “careful” lying (“Can’t go to the Barney’s Warehouse Sale this month because I’ve decided to invest more in my 401K”), and rather advanced …
It’s typically incompatibilities than end a relationship. She’s a Mormon, you’re a man. He’s a banker, you just got back from Peace Corp. She went to Notre Dame, you went to BC/USC/Georgetown/Michigan/Stanford/Villanova. This is not a revolutionary concept. Heavy hitters tend to be religion, level of intelligence, and cheating style, but a few recent conversations (slash nights) have made me wonder how the issue of …
There’s this woman who’s decided to live exactly as Oprah says for an entire year. And she’s not one of Oprah’s servants or Gayle King. She’s just a die-hard viewer who believes Oprah’s way is the right way to lead a happy life full of love, success, and money. Or, in her words, “I wonder, will I find bliss if I commit wholeheartedly to [Oprah’s] …
It’s come to my attention that my posts are on long side of long. This seems very valid. From now on the long ones will come with Cliff’s Notes so you can decide that you want to read the whole thing. Today, in two sentences. I think dating progression goes weeknight after-work drinks, weeknight late-ish dinner, weekend dinner and drinks, day-date, then no-plan plan. My …
I was talking to my Mom the other day about a date I’d recently been on. I probably went on for five to ten minutes about the date details: where we went, what we ate, how he was great, blah blah. She listened intently-ish. “Wait, when was this?” she asked, just as I was getting to the part where we shared a cab and he …
Michael and I have decided that the Olympics are responsible for a lot of people getting ass lately. Not as in, people at the Olympics are hooking up with other Olympians, though that’s happening too. (Trojan hands out more condoms at the Olympics than they do at any other national or international event, ever). I’m saying the occasion of the 29th Olympiad (you have to …
Remember my good friend who couldn’t decide whether or not to make plans with that guy from her past? Here’s what went down: She used the number he provided to call him. It was not a fake number, so he answered. She let him know she’d be in the area over the weekend and, would he maybe like to grab a drink? He said, definitely, …
No more confusing sex questions (today). Instead – another Absolute Truth. According to Wikipedia, the text message was invented in the late 1980’s to enhance mobile communication for the deaf – sort of like how the Internet was invented for NASA but worked out really well for porn. In early 2003 texting was adopted by all American cell carriers and with that the phrase Booty …
No time for a drawn out introduction today. Way too much to cover. There is a long-standing myth held by some girls that if you give it up too early, the good guys out there will no longer consider you serious girlfriend material — “too early” and “good guys” obviously being open to interpretation. For the sake of this conversation let’s say under five dates …
