I've got to give it to the people at Hinge who just decided to show their members' Facebook relationship status on their profile to expose people who may be in relationships and using Hinge to step outside of it. Or, in other words, "exposes douches trying to hide they're married" according to Masha...

In an attempt to make online dating decision making even simpler than what it once was, apps like Tinder, Happn, Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel and more offer the opportunity to decide who you like and who you don’t based on a picture and almost no information. This new phenomenon caught th...

I'm on Tinder and I'm engaged. I'm not there looking to hook up, I'm looking for potential matches on behalf of my clients. I put it front and center on my profile too. But there are an astonishing number of people in relationships on Tinder. Research firm GlobalWebIndex (GWI) released the resu...

I've referred to the imbalance of eligible women to eligible men as, "an unintended consequence of feminism". Now the data is pouring in from places you might least expect.

With Valentine’s Day behind us, its time to look back at the data and see what information lies within the numbers. “Research firm GlobalWebIndex surveyed 32 countries, and found that 62% of dating app users are men”. But for those of us more concerned about the market for matches domestically than abroad you can look back at a 2013 Pew Research Center study that says 13% of American males had used an app or site compared to only 9% of American women.

This morning a client of mine sent me an article in today's New York Times on the subject of lies and love. This very well written op-ed piece was penned by Clancy Martin, a professor of philosophy at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the author of “Love and Lies.” Professor Martin is twice married, twice divorced and comfortable enough with himself to admit why. He cheats.

I have written several pieces on why people cheat. But I came across a recent article in the Wall Street Journal by Elisabeth Bernstein that says there are six major risk factors for infidelity. Studies show that between 1 in 5 and 1 in 4 married people will admit to having engaged in sexual infidelity. So what are these risk factors?

The Times They Are A-Changin' and gender parity is becoming more the norm in politics, business, entertainment, etc. For men and women still seeking someone, it can be hard to keep up with the times.

OK, it’s game time at the Tinder Bowl and you want to take home the heart-shaped trophy this year, preferably with a supermodel in the other arm. Will a cute girl who just happened to swipe right on your ordinary-looking mug – the one your mother insisted was the most beautiful in the wo...

Couples fight. It’s inevitable. You shouldn’t feel like you’re in the wrong relationship just because you fight with your significant other from time to time. Its how you fight, and how often you fight that should determine whether or not you continue a relationship with them.

Some people dread the holiday season. Its cold, congested and all too often an unwelcomed reminder that you’re the only member of the family still single. But I’m an opportunist. I see this as a way to relate, and a way to meet someone in the same boat as you. So when it comes to finding...

My last blog on why people cheat received such a great response that I thought I’d write a follow up piece on how people cheat. The line between right and wrong is blurry at best, debatable at least but arbitrary no matter what. And with the proliferation of Internet dating, social media, smar...

I have many clients emotionally scarred from relationships that ended with infidelity, an affair, unfaithfulness, cheating, adultery or whatever you want to call it. Most of the time they struggle to understand why it happened, how it happened and whether or not it could have been avoided. From the ...

As I was going through my Facebook newsfeed one morning I came across a status update from an old friend of mine to his wife, “Cant wait to see you tonight for a couple of hours before you leave your boys again :(“. Certainly a cute note to send your wife (privately), but I instantly cou...

When I came across this article on LifeHacks that suggested 14 signs that it might be time to end your relationship, I gave each one a lot of careful consideration.

A few years ago I was asked to comment on the results of a Pantene survey looking at men’s feelings about women’s hair. There were amazing conclusions such as 74% of men indicated that they notice women because of their hair and 44% of men surveyed said that hair is the first thing they ...

Countless relationships end due to infidelity. Men and women cheat because they are insecure, unsatisfied, insatiable or sociopathic. There's little accounting for the sex addicts or social deviants of the world, but there is a secret to satisfying those with a healthy appetite for sex, and to keepi...
