The Realities of Dating in Charlottesville

Middle-aged White Women

You are the most numerous in the off-Grounds singles scene. But the white men your age are so happy to be finally divorced from you that they are dating anyone but you. If you want dating success be open to cougar-ing it up and boldly going for younger guys. You will be surprised at how open they are to a post-menopausal, baby-worry-free shag. Also, be open to dating black men. If you’re in any way plump, local middle-aged black men will love you. Get thee to church. Get thee to a drum circle.

It’s Raining Men!

I was recently possessed by Satan to list the relationship status of everyone I know in Charlottesville: family, friends, co-workers and playmates. I know

52 Men in Long-Term Relationships
63 Women in LTR’s
29 Single Men

and

12 Single Women.

Is this just me? Or is the percentage of single ladies in Charlottesville small across the board?

Though Cville is often at the top of Best Places to Live lists, it doesn’t make the top 25 of Money’s Best Cities for Singles. Though Blacksburg does. Looking at the profiles for Hokiesburg and State College, PA, you’d think they were describing Charlottesville. But I guess we don’t have as high a percentage of singles as they do (65% and 76% of their populations are single).

I See You, Baby!

I See You Baby!

I love the “I Saw You” section of The Hook because I always dream that I will be seen! But I never am. I guess I can’t be seen very well behind a wall of books. So I thought I’d start such a post on cVillain. Since it’s free and interactive, maybe more people will write who they saw and slathered over. And maybe the median age of the people posting won’t be twice mine, like in the C-ville and Hook personals pages. And maybe someone will unknowingly slather over me.

If you are the guys who rolled past me in the black sedan one dark night last August…please forget you saw me.

Spring’s liberation of citizens onto Charlottesville’s sidewalks is what inspires this idea, so I’ll kick it off with my own heretofore unpublished I See You Baby’s. »Read More

Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up for your week in review.

We got villains dissing on wine bars, gunshots at the Outback and some Grecian food. Don’t forget to stop around back to sample our smelly PR move, celebrity wannabies, and your favorite musical acts. When you leave, grab the gift bag– it’s full of tats, lawsuits, and monkey sex. Enjoy!

The Week in Review: 1/21/2008 to 1/27/2008

Besides the lovely complexity of having too much wine this week, we break the story on Pink Paintballs, (hopefully) find a restaurantuer a chef partner, chat with bartenders and break a rumor of a high end steak place. Oh, we also make some rule.

The week in review continues below:

Beer Tasting at Beer Run

Huge thanks to John, Josh, and Evan. The Belgian beer tasting was great! A rep from Legend Brewing Company in Richmond doled out at least 6 different samples from a Belgian brewery, Bavik. I stayed after for a pint of Bell’s, one of my favorites. (See the draft beer menu for what’s rotating now.)

Snow day question

You guys seem to have spare time on your hands today, so…

Is there such thing as mutually platonic friendship between heterosexual men and women?
