Namely, that the best a man can get does a very good job at eliminating stubble. Marcy raves about her hubby's Mach 3s:

... I have seen the light and I will not go back. The Venus razor has nothing on this Mach 3. And I don't need my shaving cream to smell like raspberries or mango or mountain rain - I just want to be razor burn and sliced-skin free. And I am. ...

Mike Mennonno reports on his experience signing up for that dating service advertised on the T that offers to rub out unqualified daters:

... They don't pull any punches. You know how Match.com will put a nice spin on your personality profile. Like you could be a serial killer, and your profile will say something like "you only kill the ones who deserve it!" Not at PoF. ...

Nearly half blame her for getting herself beaten up.

In addition, a significant number of males and females in the survey said Rihanna was destroying Chris Brown's career, and females were no less likely than males to come to Rihanna's defense.

The commission says it did the survey as part of a new initiative to combat teen dating violence in the city, under a four-year, $1-million grant it received last year.

One never ceases to be amused by what one can find on Craigslist.

Via Alicia Priselac, who thinks regular Celtics fans are attractive enough and wonders if fans will be able to pick out the "the attractive ladies in the front row (who will most likely be sandwiched between the 2 schmoes who posted this ad.)"

In its never ending quest to bring home the vital issues of today, boston.com provides a handy list of public places to break up in because, I guess, doing it in your living room is just so played out, and because, if you break up in a chic restaurant, you can either make a fun scene and/or chat up some hottie who's caught your eye at the bar (seriously). But one of their suggestions is Dunkin' Donuts.

The Missus, who acknowledges a boyfriend once broke up with her at the restaurant they both worked at, is aghast:

... Please don't listen to them. It is NEVER okay to break up with someone at Dunkin' Donuts. At least upgrade to Starbucks... Or an independent coffee house/cafe.

Karin belongs to a dating site that lets you see who's looking at your profile. Guy keeps checking hers out so she finally writes him and asks what's up. He replies he's interested in her but didn't want to end up on her blog. Which, of course, she blogs about.

Karin explains why, in a single sentence that is nearly as long as her walk.

The South Shore, of all places. Well, OK, that's not very specific, but perhaps if you're Catwoman, you could find out and report back.

Via.

Whenever Jenny Frazier realizes the only way out of a bar situation is to give the guy a fake number, guess what number she gives them?

... And amazingly (not amazingly?) not one single guy has ever picked up on it. EVEN WHEN I MAKE IT COMPLETELY OBVIOUS. ...

It's about time somebody tried to figure that out! The Fab Empire gives us the details on a Jan. 30 meeting of the Man Panel in the South End:

The Man Panel is a monthly panel that tackles the issue that is on most women's minds - what the heck are men thinking??

Flossy reports on the aftermath of an "inner-goddess party." Sometimes, cheap just isn't worth it.

Of course, there's a catch: You have to go on a blind date and you have to let a reporter chronicle every last thing that happens. The Globe Magazine will pick up the tab - up to the first $100 (and you have to get yourself to the restaurant) for its new Dinner with Cupid column. But, hey, beats getting yourself injected with a mystery drug at one of our fine medical institutions.

Don't you fret, married people. You, too, can make $100, in a focus group for people who like newspapers.

Indeed, Indeed wishes men would stop with the high fives in bars:

... They know you're not really that excited that you both majored in psychology. Come on, keep your hands free to light her cigarette like a gentleman.

When a Christmas card came back to Maureen Rogers marked addressee unknown, no forwarding address, she went online to see if she could find her friend's current address, and then she typed her name into Google.

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports that when a young couple on Shephard Street got into a fight over how to organize their pantry, the girl, 18, threw all the guy's stuff into the driveway and then, when they started yelling about that, she threw bleach at him and sliced him with a knife.

If you click, you'll also see an item suggesting that some people just aren't ready to live with other people, period.

Karin, who loves the Bates Reading Room at the BPL main branch, admits to scoping out the male patrons there and even fantasizing about picking one of them up:

... I have no idea how this would actually work. The silence discourages conversation. There's no way to banter via computer (a la Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy's characters in Pretty in Pink, which, speaking of, how the hell did that ever work?). Most folks wear sweatpants and scarves with bed-head and are probably stressing a 20-page brief for Monday's Con Law class.

However, there's something sexy to me about intelligence and academia and those in it who might love this space as much as I do. ...

Scot, who works at the main branch, reads Karin's post:

... Got me thinking about how differently her experience would be if we had online communities on the library web site. As Web Services Manager for the Boston Public Library, its something I think we really need, but I sure hadn't considered the direct user interaction she's got in mind! Maybe we need to provide chat rooms too. ...
