Nerve: Which lies were the most common?
Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics: Oh, the usual: money, looks, etc. It's very common for men to say they make more money than they do. It's very common for women to say they are better-looking than they really are, and that they weigh less than they actually do. Men lie more about height than weight. In truth, the daters are overall pretty savvy in their lies, since they seem to have a good grip on what works and what doesn't.

Black Ink: H. Cameron Barnes has written a book called Affair! How to Manage Every Aspect of Your Extramarital Relationship with Passion, Discretion and Dignity.  I predict that wives everywhere will be burning this book.  The moral of the story is to not have any morals:

Nobody says this out loud, but men sometimes cheat because they are romantic. They want to feel the intensity of a new sexual entanglement. Many women will forgive them for a somehow-it-just-happened affair, once it's over. But suppose a man plans an affair in advance, calculating every move in cold blood - including how and when to end it. Would any woman ever forgive a guy for such creepy behaviour?

Slashdot: The Guardian Gamesblog has an editorial up discussing the pitiful state that sexuality is in when it comes to games. Titles like "Singles: Flirt up your Life" and "The Guy Game" are not sexy...they're just embarrassing.

Gamesblog: Historically, you can understand the reasons behind the industry’s adolescent handling of adult themes: a younger audience, a male-dominated development environment and, of course, basic pixilated visuals which only ever really allowed a nudge, nudge, wink, wink, ‘Confessions of a Bitmapped Bikini Lady’ approach to portraying sex.

RMN: "Another common characteristic among lovers is an emphasis on afterplay, the activities after the sexual acts are over. Non-lovers didn't have a lot to say about this, but almost all the lovers mentioned how the cuddling, talking, laughing and giggling afterward add to their whole sense of well-being and happiness . . ."

Nerve.com: I recently started an email correspondence with a flirtatious acquaintance, only to discover that she can't spell. I found myself so obsessed with mentally correcting her mistakes that I barely got the message that she wants to hook up. Am I being petty? Or do I need and deserve someone who won't misspell "deserve" three different ways in one email?
