I know plenty of us reading dating blogs/websites. What are some of your favorites and why? I always love hearing about new websites and blogs to waste even more time on.

Right now I'm reading Date By Numbers: http://datebynumbers.tumblr.com/ Prescott has been writing for years, and she chronicles her dating adventures, fashion choices, and answers tons of reader questions with advice I always agree with. I have a girl crush on her, and frankly if she's on man number 100 of her life, what hope is there for the rest of us? But she's awesome! I'm reading back on her blog, I'm on page 115 and got tons more to go.

The Dating Doctor spoke at my school when I was in college and he is awesome. http://www.datingdoctor.com/ He stayed after for an hour giving one-on-one advice to people and he's hilarious and real and honest...if you can ever hear him speak, I strongly encourage it!

    Strangely, I read blogs & websites that contain opposite thinking from me. What I find is that when I subtract the rhetoric behind said sites, I can get some fundamental tips that work across the board.

    Askmen & Mademan have some interesting takes, usually sometimes with focus on the PUA industry...what I lack in acquired knowledge I try to make up for by reading other perspectives. It's weird considering I'm old fashion, but my take is that I all ready know how I act and what to do there. Why not read opposing thinking to find some commonalities?

    I don't read any dating blogs, I didn't even realize that was a thing. I read The Bloggess, she's brilliant... also Hyperbole and a Half (when she rarely updates) and The Oatmeal.

    *disclaimer* There are certain pieces of advice on all these sites I griveiously disagree with, but still think they're good enough to read from time to time.

    My friend's dad runs one I like called "Ask a Real Guy."
    I also like Evan Marc Katz.
    I like Rori Raye
    and there's one called "What women never hear"

    There's a couple of PUA and general men's sites (like AskMen.com) that I sometimes peruse to get an idea of how men think.
