Non-sex blogger Ezra Klein of Tomorrow’s media conspiracy today found a hot dating tip in Seventeen magazine:
In a finely conceived piece on “Dating Dares,” the wise and forward-thinking Elisa Benson of Seventeen explains that she’s “uncovered a few new guys for you to try! Among them are those old mainstays The Emo Guy (“Find him at: A dive-y dinner with his buddies, discussing the merits of My Chemical Romance.”), The Club Promoter, and The Store Clerk (“Your first move: Write your name and phone number on the receipt he hands you, then slyly push it back across the counter.”). But watch out, girls, because we’ve now got, The Blogger:
You don’t agree with all his posts, but they make you think about new issues — and whether he’s as cute as his pics!
Find him at: A friend of a friend’s Top 8 Your first move: Bloggers love having an audience almost as much as they like a battle of wits, so stir up some controversy by telling him when you disagree with a post.
Hidden payoff: An outspoken guy can stir up passions you never knew what you had — and help you figure out what you really stand for.
Like universal health care!?
Not too sure about loving an audience but I certainly appreciate you. Also not sure about making other people think but I really appreciate the way others make me think. and finally? Not sure at all what a “Top 8” might be.

"Top 8" are the top 8 of your MySpace friends.
And that pic. Rawr.
[Oh, sort of like a kindergarten version of what, on a real blog, would be a blogroll? I don't think it's as simple as me dating myself when I say I never got the appeal of MySpace. I either lack sufficient creativity or I don't have enough. :-) Thanks, Viviane! --fl]

Ha, you're showing your age! Top 8 refers to MySpace. (Although, they're out of date too, because now you can have Top 12, 16, 20, or 24.)
[Possibly. I have a MySpace account but as a platform for self-expression it seemed a little limiting compared to, say, blogging. When you can get to a top 243 then maybe I'll take another look. :-) Thanks, Amber. --fl]
