Calling Out The Media
“Still, for these women, one key question won’t go away: Where have the good men gone? Their male peers often come across as aging frat boys, maladroit geeks or grubby slackers…” – Kay S. Hymowitz, The Wall Street Journal, Feb 19-20, 2011 Sound the alarm! If you’re a smart, successful, driven, accomplished, daring, take-the-world-by-storm Millennial [...]

Who doesn’t love a good “Best Of” list? That’s pretty much why VH1 is still in business, right? It’s been one crazy ass year over here at WTF?!, and we couldn’t let 2010 die down without shouting out some of our own favorite moments from this site and project. These are the pieces that carried [...]

Lots to love and loathe in Links this week! <3 The New York Times marvels (again) at romance novel sales – this time in e-book form. What’s not to love about this vast, sexy, romantic, inspiring genre beloved of millions of women? Well, maybe the explicitly bodice-ripping covers are a little much… But with e-books, [...]

III The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime. -Wallace Stevens We’re loving this year’s Hollywood Issue of The New York Times Magazine. The Magazine is walking the walk. They’ve produced 14 short films, most around a minute long, of 14 actors acting out a moment. Watch the [...]

A few months ago, I contemplated how the Princess Club had grown up. We lady babies of the 80′s were raised on the strong-willed, independent-yet-hopelessly-romantic likes of Ariel, Jasmine and Belle, with VHS re-issuings of classic, fated beauties like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella thrown in for good measure. Were we lucky to have [...]

Now for your rainy day dose of WTF?!-worthy news… *Taylor Swift has a new celebrity boyfriend to write condemning songs about! First there was Joe, then there was John, and now there’s Jake. Should Jared Leto be getting nervous? Hey, lady – we support whatever you need to do to get over these guys! And [...]

Hey y’all – I’m finally back from the first WTF?! tour stop in Texas! As soon as the plane touched down in Queens, I switched on my iPhone and started catching up on the news. And what was the first story that caught my eye? (well, the second story – the headline “New York UFO Sighting?” [...]

My interview with The New York Times Style section today got me thinking. I would say I noticed my first wrinkles about two years ago. I was 25. I was looking in the mirror one morning and I smiled. Then I noticed the creases around my eyes. There had always been creases around my eyes, [...]

I’ve railed against cheaters. And I’ve railed against Self-Justifiers. But I never expected to rail against both at the same time! Then again, I’ve never really been a huge country music fan. But enter LeAnn Rimes! Everyone’s newly pissed about her adulterous relationship with made-for-TV movie co-star (sounds classy, right?) Eddie Cibrian ever since she [...]

And the WTF?! online dating series continues! I’ve extended its reach over to The Huffington Post, since it seems safe to say that at least a few of their single readers (or most of them) are probably online dating as well. We at WTF?! have been openly celebrating online dating and all its quirks, successes [...]

The Wall Street Journal has, yet again, dipped its surprisingly-aware toes into the perplexing pool of post-dating romance. BRA-VO, we here at WTF?! say! A little late is infinitely better than never – especially compared to the newspaper’s rivals, who are clinging to the traditional concept of “The Date” as if it’s actually going to [...]

Unfortunately, way too many women learn it the hard way. Even a guy with everything going for him – a high paid sports career, pop stardom, a governorship, the Nobel Peace Prize – can turn out to be a disrespectful/lying/cheating/hypocritical scumbag. Hence the WTF?! Wall of Shame. As the young generation, we’re optimistic about love, [...]
