Today’s guest post is a very personal (and hot!) confession from The Silver Salmon @Dr_Allen80 Craiglist may have been a cesspit full of opportunist money grabbers and sex workers, but it did have at its core a group of kinky weirdos that just wanted to enjoy the freedom of indulging…View Post
It’s a Thursday, and Lucy has an Actual Blind Date. With a faceless, nameless, completely anonymous stranger. Someone who might be the man of her dreams. Or a potato. The date has been arranged by Jordi, whom she met at the Smudged Lipstick Connect 4 Dating Event. As well as…View Post

It’s a Saturday, and Lucy has a brunch date with Julien, whom she found on OKCupid. Julien, in case it wasn’t obvious from his name, is French. Lucy’s still on her mission to find a replacement for Charlie, and seems to be matching fairly regularly with foreigners. Not, perhaps, because…View Post

In spite of her failed dates with Pablo the Venezuelan and Pierre the Frenchman, Lucy’s still convinced that a foreign guy is a much better prospect than all the hopeless British fuckwits who litter the dating apps like spat-out chewing gum. So, still keen to find a replacement for Charlie…View Post
Chiara is a 41 year old woman from Sydney, Australia who finds herself single after 18 years with her ex. Here she recounts one of her experiences using dating app Bumble. You have to start somewhere I hang up for the third time to my best friend after leaving a…View Post
Lucy’s date with Pablo the Argentinian might not have been a smoking hot success, but she’s never been one to give up at the first attempt. Convinced now that home-grown men are utterly fucking useless, and keen to capitalise on what she hopes is – to a foreigner at least…View Post
