Bad dates
Read moreI’ve had a few bad dates. But then again, too few to mention.

Read moreThe happy circle of attention and compliance, and the women who break it.

Happn
Read moreA new dating app that’s sort of like Tinder, but creepier. Christine is less than 500 meters away.
How i consume your porn
Read moreThe thrill isn’t in the image — it’s in the compliance. A catalog of the personalized porn women send me, and how I actually consume it.
The women of snapchat: emily
Read moreEmily sends me self-destructing nudes on Snapchat to protect herself, but won’t send the clothed photos I actually want by e-mail.
Holidays
Read moreHolidays disrupt everything — writing, playing, routine. But I took my Tinder on the road, and apparently I’m catnip west of the Hudson.
