Looking Back on the Past Year

It has been a year since this blog stopped being merely an idea and came to fruition, and 43 posts and almost 4,000 hits later it is safe to say its been one interesting ride.  I can't exactly pinpoint the precise reason for detailing our personal experiences on one of the most frustrating and yet delightfully irresistible topics known to mankind, yet here we are continuing to write, and perhaps more importantly, continuing to document.  I guess in reality our initial purpose for writing this blog was to pass some vitally important nuggets of information to males all over the world in the hope that they would become more successful in their respective love lives.  This last sentence undoubtedly sounds arrogant and perhaps slightly conceited, but I think that it is safe to assume that preceding this year neither Alex nor myself had any real idea of what it took to date a woman.  I say woman because we no longer want a date to be insecure or immature, clingy, or desperate, we want stability and common sense.  We want someone that will just live, and let us do the same.  The search has evolved.  A was once a shallow obsession with looks and "hotness" has turned into an inkling of the "total package."

In a weird way, the blog has changed me.  While it was always entertaining to document the single hook-ups and crazy stories, it was in the end fairly unrewarding.  No matter how fun the moment seemed, there was always something missing in the end.  I suppose at this moment the idea of looking for the "total package" is something that has taken a hold of me.  I still find myself formulating this idea, and looking for ways to go about finding exactly what it is we are looking for.  At the end of the day the blog was started for you, the readers, and thats the way it is going to stay.  Through my experiences I hope to pass on something to everyone else.  Here's to hoping that one day, we figure it all out!
