Where are all the 'good' men?

Once I had adjusted back to the real world I realised that I was one of the very few single one left out of my group of friends.

So I turned to online dating after a very dear friend convinced me that I needed more to my life than just work, needed to start putting myself out there if I didn't want to end up alone, and really it was a way to meet men, whom I would not normally meet.



I've been on almost all the dating apps/websites (below) since January last year, which has definitely been fun.

- RSVP
- Oasis
- Tinder
- Blendr
- Skout 

Ok so the last two are hook up apps, but hey there were times I needed to know I was desirable when the top two weren't yielding good prospects or I wanted a bit more attention.

I know that sounds very shallow but it can become addictive to have so much attention from men, to have the rush of a first date and to have options after years of only having slim pickings.  I can put my hand on my heart and admit I had become addicted to it, to the point where I may have missed some good ones but really I can't think like that because life is not about what ifs, it's about grabbing the bull by the horn and riding it to the end.

I'd love to give you the stats on my dating, but can honestly say I'm not 100% sure on how many first dates I had last year, but can say I've only been on 5 second dates, 2 third dates and only 1 of those 2 guys made it to me no longer counting dates.. And that's mr right now, who, I don't know what's going to happen or if he's 'the mythical one', but I do know is fun to spend time with, makes me smile/laugh and it's easy, so I'll keep doing that because someone said to me once you should do things that make you happy, and that's what I'm doing.

WARNING - Some of the dating stories I'll share on here are pretty funny and others are just a little strange and some may be a little bit R rated.

Where The Energy Is At

Lately I've seen a few people I follow and know talking about, on social media, embracing and igniting their feminine energy and feeling a huge shift in their lives by doing this. Which made me curious about my own energy and where it's at... so I got googling and reading because I honestly knew nothing about it. Any one who's read The Secret will actually know what I'm talking about as this all comes from the law of gender... unfortunately before now it didn't interest me. Just to be clear for those who haven't heard of this concept before, I'm not talking about physical or emotional genders or even sexuality, I'm talking about the energy we engage, focus on, hold, play in or however you want to call it. We've all heard of alpha males right? Well that comes from the masculine energy that someone holds. Immediately I realised from reading just one paper on this (I have read many more), that I engage my masculine energy, probably a solid 90% of t

A number with too much meaning

Let's get very real right now and I'll admit I'm uncomfortable writing this... I've been holding off on telling anyone about completing my first 16 week challenge with nutritional cleansing and 8 week F45 challenge because I'm straight out ashamed that I didn't achieve everything I wanted. To the point that I skipped out on having my body scan because I didn't want to know the results, didn't want to know if the kilos I'd gained were muscle or fat, didn't want anyone around me to know the numbers.  I know this may sound ridiculous, but if you've battled with your weight and obsessed about it for years like I have, then you know it's a very slippery slope back to where you began and gaining a couple of kilos is the very scary start. I want to be completely honest right now  because I know I'm not the only one who's done things or may do something like this in the future. I'm not the only one who's weight has gone up and dow

Ego v Romantic Interest

This blog started out as being about my life, everything as a whole, but over time it turned into a dating blog as I had become a serial dater and it was the highlight of my life for a period when I was unhappy in SO many other parts of my life. Like hating my job, spending time with friends to avoid spending time with myself, training at the gym a lot to try and get the body that I thought would make me happy and that I was 'closet eating' by lying to myself about what was going in my mouth. So dating guys and being the judgy mcjudge pants chick that I used to be was amusing and kept me distracted from those other things. I decided that it was time to work on me so 2016 is about me, my health, my dreams and goals, and since the beginning of this year, since moving to Sydney, it would appear from this blog that I wasn't getting amongst the dating scene much because I had been too busy working on me, but to be completely honest, I've dabbled in dating. I went on
