[2007-11-30] In the 1950s, married couples made up 80% of the country's households. Today they account for a hair over 50%, and singles are poised to take the lead soon
Divorce, which is how about half of all marriages end, plays a big part. And people are marrying later or just aren't marrying at all. Nearly a quarter of the population older than 35 is divorced or has never tied the knot. That's an increase of 16% in the past decade. Being on your own has its upsides, no doubt, but getting you to focus on your finances isn't one of them. That tends to happen around "couples" milestones. Get married: Merge your financial lives. Have a child: Buy life insurance and start saving for college. Stay single: ummm. Just as with married couples, though, the older [...]
[2007-11-30] Do years of dating cancel out years of relationships?
Over Thanksgiving weekend, I went out on the town with a group of myfriends--all couples and then little ole me. One of the couples was arguinga bit through the night. It was awkward and all of us were trying to ignoreit. (My least favorite thing about hanging out in a crowd of boyfriends andgirlfriends.)As the night wore on, I was standing outside of a bar with one of my guyfriends and he asked, "Why are [Coupled Guy Friend] and [Coupled GirlFriend] arguing?I shrugged my shoulders and made some opinionated statement about thesituation."You're absolutely wrong," my guy friend said."Oh really?

I stuck to it, andhere [...]

Her mother found her there, hanging from a belt. She was 13. Six weeks after Megan’s death, her parents learned that [...]

Thomas Montgomery, 48, was sentenced earlier this week after he pleadedguilt to killing 22-year-old co-worker, Brian Barrett outside a Dynabradetool factory where the two men worked.The motive was an online relationship Montgomery established with a WestVirginia woman, identified in court and by prosecutors as Mary Sheiler.Montgomery and Sheiler, who were miles apart and had never met, both came upwith the same idea: to get online and pretend they were about 30 yearsyounger than they actually are.

This is what every lifesaver in Australia learns before they're awarded their Bronze Medallion and can go out save drowning Japanese people - so it's considered life and death information for dealing with crowds, panicked relatives, injured swimmers and aggressive Pommy t [...]

The article reviewed evidence from a variety of sources, and commented that many scholars and social workers "say the risk of child abuse is markedly higher in the nontraditional family structures." Among the studies cited by the Associated Press was that published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2005.

[2007-11-29] Why singles should be a bit more ‘Asian’ in their quest to find the perfect spouse
Is this how to find a spouse? Have your say at the bottom of this article A close friend of mine is stubbornly single. At the age of 37, she simply cannot seem to find the right man. She’s tried kissing any number of frogs but, as yet, her prince has not materialised. I now realise that we, her friends, have all subtly given up on helping her find a mate; we invite her out to overtly girlie evenings or, even worse, rely on her to make up the numbers at our children’s parties. It’s as if we are so embarrassed that we are fully sprogged-up wives that we’d rather not press the point by indica [...]

[2007-11-27] Andrew Conru didn't aspire to be a sex-industry mogul. But his $200 million empire attests to the old adage: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Business 0 Magazine reports.
You know how you'll be trying to do work, and the Internet will inexorably drag you into porn? That's exactly what happened to Andrew Conru's career. A mechanical engineering doctoral student at Stanford who grew up with churchgoing Lutheran parents in northern Indiana--the kind of guy who holds the door for everyone until he gets stuck there so long that someone has to make a joke so he can let go--Conru started the first online dating site, WebPersonals, in the early '90s. He sold it in 1995, pocketed a minor windfall, and started all over again. Now he owns 27 sites under an umbrella co [...]
[2007-11-27] A friend recently told me of an evening in which a life coach instructed a roomful of people unlucky in love how to get a date and thence, presumably, a relationship. Her advice? Smile. A lot.
People look at you differently if you're smiling, she apparently said in all seriousness. The very act leads to your endorphins kicking in, which makes you more fun, which in turn helps others ask you out. It's as simple as that. Except that we really know it isn't, don't we? Sometimes, a simplistic solution is too much so for the complicated times we live in. This is the age of work 24/7, of speed dating, immediate gratification (nothing less!) and the resulting impostor syndrome, in which people tend to get all self-critical when a mere meeting over coffee doesn't work out, never mind a rel [...]

[2007-11-27] A bill inspired by the downfall of a Napa adoption facilitation firm has yet to take effect almost a year after it became law.
SB 1758 -- which became law in January 2007 -- placed new restrictions onadoption facilitators, requiring them to post a $25,000 bond, undergo socialwork training and criminal background checks, and register with the state.Previously, adoption facilitators needed only post a $10,000 bond and obtaina business license to operate.But bureaucratic systems to track adoption facilitators are still being puttogether, state officials say, and they need more time to work with theDepartment of Justice and state licensing agencies to set up a registry ofapproved adoption facilitators -- although not much [...]
[2007-11-27] It has never been easy for a divorced man to find a new wife in Iraq, where many people view people who have divorced with suspicion and disdain. It has become harder since the war, something I discovered then I stepped up my quest for love and bumped up
It all began after a distressing conversation last month with a good friend, who warned me that no father would approve of his daughter marrying someone like me, a divorced man with a 5-year-old son. "You are not trustworthy enough to marry a girl, because you are divorced and have a child," my friend told me in a scornful tone. "If someone agreed to let you marry his daughter, it would be as a favor."His words were crushing because I know they are true. I am 33, well educated and employed, but I have been rejected by many traditional Iraqi women's families because of my marital status. Now, b [...]

[2007-11-26] The old cliche "be careful what you wish for" doesn't quite cover it on this one. It's more like "be careful what you say you would do if you had the money"
The old cliche "be careful what you wish for" doesn't quite cover it on this one. It's more like "be careful what you say you would do if you had the money" - especially when talking to business managers at The Heights." We were sitting in the Heights business office when one of the editors made a comment about a piece of junk mail from an online dating service sneaking past Boston College's crack spam filter into his saturated inbox. The unwelcome e-mail sparked a conversation about online dating and how it fits into our culture. The general consensus was that while it is, for the most part, [...]
