5 Totally Ridiculous Dating Trends You’ll Find In Asia

January 31, 2014/in Funny & Videos /by Guest Blogger

I’d do anything for love (but I won’t do that). You won’t believe some of the bizarre things people do when it comes to finding love. Check out these 5 ridiculous dating trends in Asia:

1. Shanghai Matchmaking Expo

At this exhibition in Shanghai, thousands (yes, thousands) of moms try their hand at matchmaking, displaying photos and resumes of their single sons and daughters in hopes of finding them a partner. Yes, this actually happens.

2. Dinner With Foreigners (aka White People)

Seriously? Seriously.

3. Goodbye Sushi Dates, Hello McDonalds

In some parts of Asia, fast food establishments like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and KFC are beginning to be seen as “chic” and “stylish” places to take your date. It looks a dollar menu first date isn’t such a bad idea after all.

4. Couple Shirts Are Just the Beginning

Matching t-shirts for couples are just the tip of the iceberg in Asia. Matching lanyards, belts and phone cases — you name it, they’ll have it.

5. Virtual Girlfriends

As of late, there have been multiple reports of Japanese Otakus marrying inanimate objects. Everything from their virtual Nintendo DS girlfriend to an anime character pillow. No, unfortunately you didn’t misread that. A pillow.

5 Best Date Ideas to End Date Night the Disney Way

June 19, 2013/in Date Ideas /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Bronson Farr

Dinner and a movie is a good date idea for a first date, but why not change things up a bit? Movies are cool, but sometimes you or your partner don’t want to sit through an entire show. Maybe that new chick flick is too mushy for him, or maybe the latest action flick has too many explosions for her. Why not watch some Disney-Pixar Shorts? We’ve made a list of some animated features, which are also some best date ideas, to end the night with.

Paperman– Follow the adventures of an average Joe who manages to find love in the most interesting and creative way.

It’s the chance of a lifetime for this “average Joe”. Will he be able to win her heart?

Knick Knack– Six years before Toy Story, this little snowman tries to escape his snowglobe.

Aren’t snowmen supposed to have smiley faces?

BURN-E– While WALL-E and EVA are off frolicking around in space, BURN-E sets out to accomplish his mission, which proves to be tougher than it should be.

BURN-E is one of the hardest working robots out there.

Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation– When Barbie and Ken’s perfect vacation takes a wrong turn, the Toy Story gang creates the perfect paradise for the couple.

The iconic plastic couple go on a dream vacation.

La Luna– A young boy goes out with his father and grandfather to learn how to run the family business.

Yaaay! I finally got my hat!

I love kids because they have so much love to give. I’m sure that taxi driver was happy for the rest of the day, just because of that short conversation he had with a little child :)
