Suggested considerations for online daters

by Klaus July 30, 2013

This post belongs into the strictly personal category. These are just some considerations of mine. Take the best and leave the rest. Maybe they can help some of you to gain a little more clarity about whom they should be looking for. As we all know: “Love is all around”. That doesn’t mean we need to create more chaos and drama in this world. We can be smart, avoid some obvious pitfalls, maybe even find our perfect match and help others to do so as well by using our brains at times when enough blood flow is provided to them ;)

WHAT DO YOU WANT?
For starters it might help to write down for you (not the public) what you want to gain some clarity. What have you learned from your last relationship that you absolutely don’t want going forward any longer. What did you miss the most? What is it that you need to work on? What are your must haves and can’t stands?

To bang or not to bang

by Klaus February 5, 2013

You have most probably heard of the Bang with Friends Facebook App by now. It made the rounds on nearly all social media blogs last week. It let’s you select which of your friends you’d have sex with. If one of those chosen ones decides that “banging” you would be a good idea as well you’d both be alerted and set on your path to eternal happiness.

When I thought it wouldn’t get better than that an app named Bang with Professionals came around. It let’s you pick your objects of desire from your LinkedIn contacts. Not as in “f#ck this guy, he’s an a##hole” but as in “yes, I’d have sex with her/him”.

Pretty cool, eh? Guess how cool it would be if that database gets hacked and someone puts that information in the cloud? Well, it’s in the cloud already, someone would just have to take the wraps off.

What part does gender equality play in my personal life?

by Klaus March 17, 2009

written by Klaus

I co-created the South Africa Project with a group of friends. We promote gender equality in order to combat rape which is a big factor in the HIV/Aids pandemic in South Africa.
I have written about the cultural aspects of Gender (In)Equality and our website talks more about it. I am passionate about the subject.

I am a proponent of balanced relationships were two equally strong partners challenge each other.

Where does that stem from? What role does gender equality play in my personal life?

Gender equality is a concept that still raises the blood pressure or the heart rate of many men in our times. There are different approaches to defend the status quo:

It’s always been like this
Things are easier if roles are clearly divided
Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars
No way I let a woman tell me what to do
Etc.

I could argue in a number of ways to explain my interest in the subject.

Being the slightly biased best friend
