I've been bitching about this for years! Glad to see someone has the same gripe... But, in all fairness, the women in Disney movies promote similar things. At least in Beauty and the Beast, Belle fell for the ugly guy... But in the end, he ended up being a good-looking, rich Prince.

In what seems to be an awesome PR stunt by the Japanese robot maker Kokoro Ltd, a Japanese couple us the first couple to get hitched by a robot. The “priest” is better known as the i-Fairy, a four-foot tall robot usually sold as a guide to direct traffic at exhibits and museums.

The couple, Satoko Inoue and Tomohiro Shibata, said that they wanted to show that robots can fit into our everyday lives. The bride (Satoko) works for Kokoro Ltd and the groom is a customer.

Japan is home to almost half the world's 800,000 industrial robots and expects the industry to expand to $10 billion.

On more than one occasion during our relationship, my wife has woken up upset at me because I was in one of her dreams doing something bad like cheating on her or acting like a jerk. Sometimes this anger lasts hours. Plus it happens about once per month. I have only had one dream like that about her. Naturally, I was curious about why this happens and if it happened to other people. And it does happen to a lot of other people.

It Happens... A Lot!

I took to Reddit to find some solace and I found a thread that had many comments on this topic.

We have all become dependent on being able to find and communicate with anyone over the Internet. Dating is not a game of chance or luck anymore; everyone has the World as their dating pool.

Women especially can benefit greatly from online dating. Below are some of biggest benefits to taking their quest for love online.

Successful Online Dating Requires Good Communication - In order to successfully "woo" someone (worth anything) online, you need to be able to communicate clearly. Knowing that communication is an important requisite in a good relationship, this will give you an idea of your potential suitor's eloquence. This is better than, say, the grunts and lame pickup lines you may get at a bar. Now, online dating makes it easier for some people to be jerks too, so be ready to deal with extremes.

Search at Your Own Pace and With Less Pressure - Online dating allows you to take your time when searching and getting to know someone. Email correspondence can be sent when you have time. Video chats can be scheduled around work schedules. Video mail and text messages allow you to communicate when it's convenient. Also, because you don't need to "get ready" to online date, you can be more comfortable while you do some hardcore "getting to know you". Also, think of the first date: it won't be awkward as you would have already gotten past the initial chitchat and can dive into deeper topics.

More Selection, Expanded Dating Pool - Online dating makes the World your dating pool. Where you would normally be constrained to friends, friends of friends, co-workers and people you meet at a local bar, online dating lets you find someone from anywhere in the World. If you like travel and adventure, you could join an International Dating site where you could meet someone from another country.

Don't Give Out Your Information - "Can I have your email?" "What's your phone number?" There are questions you don't have to answer on many reputable online dating sites. Many services offer you private emails, chats and even phone calling features. This way, if you meet someone you don't click with, you don't have to worry about them calling you or showing up at your apartment uninvited.

So why not give online dating a try? There are many free and paid services available that cater to any desire. Just be careful, never send anyone money and never share personal information until you get to know the person. Take a deep breath a good luck!

Are you a single guy that's still looking for Mrs. Right? Stop lurking around the local Ladies' Nights to find your match and get online! Millions of men have squashed the negative stigmas of online dating and are enjoying meeting interesting women from all over the world. In order to be successful in finding your soul mate online, here are some important suggestions to help you out.

First things first: your profile. Some guys are so eager to start looking at the ladies' profiles that they rush through their own. Big mistake! Your profile is your introduction to the wonderful world of sexy, single women so you have to make a good first impression. Choose a user name that reflects your personality or your interests, not something raunchy or related to your body parts. Also, make sure your photos are current and you look clean. Shave, get a haircut, buy a new outfit if you have to; most ladies aren't attracted to sloppy looking slobs.

Another helpful tip is to manage your communication with care. Starting off by emailing a large pool of ladies is a good idea to get the correspondence going, but contacting too many can be too much to keep on top of. In addition, remember that your first emails are just an introduction and should be kept simple and light. Avoid divulging why you're looking for love online or mentioning past relationships. Be optimistic and refer to her profile, focusing on why you chose her and what things you have in common. Forget the creepy sex talk at the beginning and don't harass her with emails if you don't get a fast reply. Desperate, needy, and creepy are not qualities that will attract the ladies.

Staying safe is another important aspect of dating women online. It can be easy to forget about being discreet with your personal information since everyone posts so many details about their lives on social networking sites nowadays. There are unscrupulous web surfers looking for internet users that will give out their phone number or address without even thinking twice. Select an online dating service that offers a safe calling feature that blocks your real phone number so you can chat privately until you're ready to exchange your personal information.

Online dating is a smart and effective way to expand your options when searching for your other half. Plenty of studies and surveys have shown that online dating is becoming more acceptable, being used more often, and leads to actual relationships and even marriage for singles that meet this way. Just be honest, be yourself, and have fun finding your match!

How many times have you wasted your time on someone that just wasn’t who you wanted or needed in your life? Do you ever wish that you were bolder and more direct in your questioning of a new love interest? Want to be able to cut through the BS?

Here are four questions we wish everyone would ask on their first dates to make the experience a bit more… honest.

Women to Men

1) Is there anyone else who may think you’re dating them right now? This is a good way to see if he is a player or if he is a liar. Good luck getting an honest answer to this one.

2) When was the last time you had an STD checkup? Aren’t you thinking it anyway? Why not ask. Health is very important to everyone. Men like to "dive without oxygen" if you know what I mean, so don't be shy about asking or about telling him to wear a condom.

3) If I don’t sleep with you tonight, will you go out with me again? Sad, but many men feel that if they strike out on the first night they were rejected. This is a surefire sign of someone not worth spending time with (if they don’t call, of course).

4) Do you shave, wax or pluck any of your body hair? Hey, some people like hair. Some don’t. If you are meticulous about your “manscaping” then she may see it as a “vanity/insecurity” point or maybe she just doesn’t want someone who spends more time in the bathroom than she does.

Men to Women

1) How much time did you spend getting ready? This is tell us with you are a natural beauty or a work of fiction. Also, this can help you gague how much bathroom real estate you will have after she moves in.

2) Do you have a “sort of ex-boyfriend” calling you currently? This is just good to know so you can confirm the fact that the guy in the leather jacket two tables down really is looking at you funny.

3) How often do you wash your hair? This is just a good benchmark to know, in case she uses it as an excuse in the future. Plus, it may give you insight into her hygiene habits.

4) Does your mom cook? Every man knows that a “hungry man is an angry man.” Knowing if she comes from a family that likes to cook will keep your belly happy in the long run. Trust me, fast food and takeout will pile on the pounds for both of you quickly, so make sure that cooking healthy meals is part of the relationship’s dynamic. This doesn’t mean you need to have her cook all the time though.

For ages, people have been trying to decode the perfect formula for a relationship. Stacks of books have been written on the topic. Hundreds of movies have been released romanticizing it. Many people have given their lives for it. But what does it take? Is it love?  Is it having destiny in your corner? Is it total surrender?

While it could be one or many of those things to some, it boils down to one basic principle for each sex. While Love is great to have, it’s ephemeral and will fade over time (in the “drowning/infatuation” sense) and it cannot carry a long-term relationship. Here’s what you need:

Men

Men need to be constantly reassured that they are doing a good job. Whether its in bed, at work, around the house, getting to a destination, or picking a restaurant, if you always tell your man he is doing a great job (honestly) then he will never look elsewhere. Men crave validation and like to be the source of comfort for a woman. The minute it stops, he will look for it elsewhere.

Women

Women need to feel appreciated and need to be given “units” of things. For example, a dozen roses is a unit. A diamond necklace is a unit. You “doing the dishes” is a unit. And no matter that you did before, whenever you need or want something, a new unit must be given. This form of appreciation makes her feel like she is worth a lot to the man and as long as he keeps doing things or offering units, it means he is interested. The minute it stops, she begins to feel taken for granted.

Seems simple right? It is. Especially once you bridge these with honest and clear communication. Trust me, that’s all you need to maintain a relationship. Now, whether you want to or not, or for how long you want to or not, is up to you.
