thePULSEBrain Break: Love (?) Sites
It’s February 14, Cupid’s arrow has not yet found you, and you’ll scream if another coworker gets roses or an o-so-cute stuffed bear. Before you’re starring in your own version of “Valentine’s Day Massacre,” take a breather and visit these websites instead. In no time, you’ll be laughing ~ and perhaps even celebrating your single status.

Don’t Date Him Girl
The URL says it all. Equal parts public service announcement and revenge tool, Don’t Date Him Girl is a forum for women to post photos, information and stories about men who’ve allegedly wronged them. The stories range from funny: “This piece of work claims to be a cowboy?!” to scary: “He has been convicted of domestic violence.” Some of the craziest entries sound like Jerry Springer episodes come to life.
However ~ there’s no way of verifying the information posted, and as a result, several people have filed defamation of character lawsuits against the website. But if you take it with a grain of salt, it can be pretty entertaining.
Ugly Dress
www.uglydress.com
Your friend is getting hitched and you’re thrilled to serve as a bridesmaid ~ until you see the monstrosity of a dress she expects you to wear. Yes, most women have been there, and if you want photographic evidence, check out Ugly Dress for taffeta, puffy sleeves, butt-bows and hideous hues galore. Chances are the frock your friend picked out isn’t that bad in comparison ~ and if it is, then can you really call her a friend?
Craigslist Missed Connections- Worcester
The concept to Missed Connections is simple—when people they feel they’ve made a “love connection” with a complete stranger, but didn’t follow through, they post on a message board in hopes that their potential paramour will see the message and contact them.
Some of them are sweet and hopeful (a male poster to a female employee at Walgreens: “Everything about you had me spinning…all the beauty in your face is so amazing”) and some are just uproariously funny, like this post out of Oxford:
“You were in front of me in line at Wal-Mart. We exchanged glances, but for the most part my eyes were fixed on your supple behind! … I’m 26 with a shaved (but not bald) head wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, blue eyes and I am in love with your butt!”
Because really, what woman could resist that?
